• 31. HORSEMEAT? This cannot be true, it must be propaganda to make us turn against Huckabee! I just cannot believe this.

• 32. I feel people are entitled to eat what they please. However, horses that are usually unfit to travel due to illness or lameness endure a horrific experience on the way to being slaughtered. Look into the New Holland auction for more information. I don't know if that place still operates but you can get a good idea of what once beloved pets, prize race horses and the like go through on the way to becoming dinner.

• 34. Get off Huckabee's back about the horse meat, people. If you check into it, I'm sure you'll find a lot of Americans eat horse meat. I also doubt that Mike eats it anymore due to his diabetic diet. I love horses, too, but I'm certainly not shallow enough to take my vote away from Mike just for that one comment. He's got way more good than bad in him. I know these things because he was MY governor, and he did more good for our state than any other governor has in many years, INCLUDING CLINTON! Granted he's not perfect, but neither am I, nor are you, but he has more going for him than ANY of the other candidates...period.

• 35. Huckabee, shame on you !!!! As a thoroughbred horse owner who has fought slaughterhouses in this country for years, I'm shocked that you would even ADMIT to eating horsemeat which is illegal to serve in this country. I'd sure be curious to know where you GET your horsemeat from. I sure hope you don't have any poor horses on a farm somewhere !!!!

• 39. Harvy refuses to cover Ron Paul because he's against giving billions in aid to Israel. That's all one needs to do for Harvey slap them with the zomg he's anti-semitic label.

• 40. Why are people so afraid to look into Ron Paul? They just run to the wacko comments by default rather that utilizing what's left of their brains....pathetic.

• 41. HORSEMEAT!!!! I agree with 1:30, Even if I did eat it, I wouldn't go telling about it as a potential candidate. He's lost my vote too, and I', sure all members of Peta and horselovers everywhere. on a side note,even as a Christian, I agree with an editorial in our local paper that he's more than overplayed the "Jesus card". A "jesus freak that eats horses and loves guns. Sorry, thinks that's crazier than RP. I'd be afraid he'd pull a Dick Cheney while if he were in office. (I'm sure you remember Cheney's "unfortunate accident" with his laywer hunting buddy earlier last year. That;s all for my ramblings...

• 42. Ron Paul is insane. I think if you looked at more than the soundbites on Daily Show you will see just how insane his ideas are...unless you want to privatize the police and military.

• 43. TMZ must be owned by a big neocon supporter somewhere down the line. They report the Presidential Candidates about as well as the mainstream media does. Where in the HELL is Ron Paul? Or can you not find anything negative to report on him?
