Republican Presidential Candidate Debate #2 – Columbia, South Carolina 05/15/07 - Official Discussion Thread
Watch live coverage of the First-in-the-South Republican Party Presidential Candidate debate on FOX News Channel and FOXNews.com on Tuesday, May 15, at 9 p.m. EDT (6 p.m. PDT).
There is no fear factor with Hillary...the Republicans have made a mess of their time in congress, Iraq is a difficulty considering most Americans want TV and the mall, and not that many are loyal to Bush....so Hillary is very, very real.
A promo for the news with Brian Williams just aired on the FNC.
Anything for a buck, I guess.
That would work too but Watts is not in office right now
I haven’t. Let’s see it!
I’m not exclusing anyone myself at this point...it’s silly to do that almost two years away from the next swearing in.
But as I keep saying...it’s WAY too early for we republicans to pick one person and say “that’s our man”...it’s what the DBM and the Democrat patry would LOVE us to do so they can start the attacks and smears early.
Fred and to some extent Newt are smart to not have shown their hand yet...the less time they can give the Socialists to try and slime them the better.
Grade - F
He could run. At least that’s my hope anyway.
Tagg Romney. Former governor of Michigan? Greta is on a roll!
Yes Yes Yes
I your point is why Romney is struggling - a lot of flip flop there.
Time will tell.
Come on Fred - don’t wait too long.
I can say who is NOT my man. And his initials are RG. And that is the name of that tune.

It is shameful the people supporting anti war Ron Paul.
HE just said earlier the troops should be brought home to help the economy.
That idiot doesn’t get it. The IslamOfascist take over, there is no economy, no freedon and no heads.
Those supporting him are on message with Michael Moore, DU, etc.
I'd bet a cold drink we hear more about Rev. Falwell than borders or immigration.

I like Romney too. He clearly won the last debate. those who oppose him said he was too polished; Translation...they’re scared to death of him because he knew his stuff and was eloquent in his presentation of the facts.
What we need in a candidate...is someone who will not only stand up and say things similiar to this...but BELIEVES them too:
“We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding—we are going to begin to act, beginning today.”
“On the eve of our struggle for independence a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, “Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.... On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.”
Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children and our children’s children.
And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom.”
“As for the enemies of freedom, those who are potential adversaries, they will be reminded that peace is the highest aspiration of the American people. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it; we will not surrender for it—now or ever.”
“The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that Martin Treptow and so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God’s help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.
And, after all, why shouldn’t we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.”
Show me a candidate that can inspire with words and deeds and beliefs close to what I quoted and he’ll have my vote.
Thanks!
whatever
