Perhaps, but it's a fact that any Republican that gets elected is going to have to suffer with the Chrissy's of the world for his entire term of office. It's instructive to see how the various candidates deal with it. Bush has pretty much consistently rolled over when the Drive By's attacked him.
I really want someone in office who will stand up to their lies and distortions.
“I really want someone in office who will stand up to their lies and distortions.”
A very good point, but is early on in the sorting process a good time to have the candidates’ messages distorted by the likes of Chris Matthews? Why didn’t they just hire Rosie O’Donnell for the debate - it’s makes about the same amount of sense.
For the Republican candidates to have accepted someone like Chris Matthews as moderator validates this kind of gotcha journalism from the left. Remember, the Dem candidates won’t even appear on Fox.
This kind of lefty-driven circus (Matthews as moderator) only serves to marginalize and trivialize Republicans.
