Of course, if our politicians had kept to the Founding Fathers' original vision, we wouldn't have these problems with radical Islamic terrorists to begin with.



Oh so it is our fault. I suppose all the conflicts that have involved Islamic extremism has been the fault of the western perpetrators as well.

So no, not of course at all.

He better, cause if not he's going to be out of the race with hardly a ripple made.


by the way: I'm watching the debate. Romney is almost a spectator. McCain and Paul have been dominating this debate (at least in amount of time spent yapping).

Mitt was 15% to Thompson's 16%. Not bad considering.
