I don’t know what’s worse. That two of the Republican front runners (Giuliani/Romney) argue in favor torture, or that the Republican base applauds in agreement.
Meanwhile, FOX News attacked Ron Paul’s opposition to the Iraq War and asked him if he was running for the nomination of the wrong party.
Paul also argued that the terrorist threat is based on misguided U.S. foreign policy, taking on the favorite right-wing talking point that terrorist hate America’s freedoms. Feeling threatened, Rudy Giuliani took Paul to task for attacking the entire rhetorical basis of his presidential campaign.
The joke was on Rudy and the Republicans/Fox News with their text voting when voters said
Ron Paul was the Winner of the Debate!

WOW! Ron Paul was obviously saying that the U.S. Foreign Policy up to that point had so enraged the Radical Islamists, and we ignored the warning signs. We were being attacked overseas, after all. It was just a matter of time before we were attacked on our own soil. And Ron Paul said NOTHING about Iraq in that statement. He was asked SPECIFICALLY about the 9/11 attacks. This just goes to show how the Bush-lovers still make attempts to tie the invasion of Iraq with the 9/11 attacks.
Note: Ron Paul is definately NOT a Democrat he is an odd Libertarian-type. Check out his stance on the issues at Project Vote Smart: Link
To bring the topic back to Ohio:
Remember those TV ads last fall where Rudy said, "Ken Blackwell is the best choice to lead Ohio"? Remember? I sure hope that someone has those ads on their TiVo, because that is anti-Rudy GOLD. Just play that line in a commercial and Rudy loses Ohio. But let's make sure we trot that out AFTER Rudy wins the Republic Primary.
