A Los Angeles woman asks what three federal programs the candidates would cut.

Thompson says “it’s a target-rich environment.” Mentions entitlements. Cites an OMB report of 100 programs that could be cut; “I’ll target all 100 of ‘em.” Wants to re-index how benefits are calculated.

Paul objects to McCain’s statement, ‘we went to Washington to change it, and it changed us,’ declaring, “I went to Washington and I didn’t change.”

Paul wants to get rid of the Department of Homeland Security. Wants to change foreign policy to spend money.

Huckabee mentions the IRS, gets wild applause. “Americans are more afraid of an audit than a mugging, and there’s a reason why.”

We get an animated Uncle Sam, asking about the Fair Tax.

John McCain goes after Ron Paul with a friggin’ crowbar, saying his isolationist attitude is the sort of thing that allowed Hitler to come to power. Says the Thanksgiving message he got from the troops was, “let us win.” Wild applause, some boos.

Paul cites his donations from active-duty servicemen, says there’s a difference between isolationism and non-interventionism.
