The GOP Three: An August Analysis (Romney/Thomson/Giuliani)
Townhall ^ | 8/7/07 | Matt Lewis

Posted on 08/07/2007 8:18:43 AM PDT by teddyballgame

It's August, and it's important to remember that four years ago, exactly, Howard Dean and Joe Lieberman were doing well -- and John Kerry was starting to fall apart. Still, punditry goes on, and, as such, here are my thoughts on three of the candidates ...

1. Mitt Romney - Some people think that video of him getting angry at the WHO radio host made him look bad. Not me. It made me like him even more. One of my criticisms of Romney has been that he seems a bit phony. In this clip, we got a glimpse of the real Mitt Romney. And yes, real people get angry. Now, whether or not this will turn into an "I paid for this microphone," moment remains to be seen. Still, I don't think it hurts him (and it might help him)...

2. Fred Thompson - E.J. Dionne writes today that, "... Thompson's decision to delay his entry into the race until the fall is looking like a mistake."

You sent me to a page that labels Guiliani a Socialist? Do you realize that labeling Guiliani a Socialist is an extremist position? I guess I sould expect no less from someone who sees a cat maul a child and then says, "no babies were injured in the making of that clip". So much for your good judgment.

I have not decided who I am going to vote for yet. Because of this outrageous suggestion that Guiliani is a Socialist, I decided to look up Guiliani's stand on the issues. I would like for you to tell me how his stand on the issues confirmed in your mind that he is a Socialist?

I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists' War on us.

I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation.

I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.

I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.

I will impose accountability on Washington.

I will lead America towards energy independence.

I will give Americans more control over and access to health care with affordable and portable free-market solutions.

I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.

I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.

I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.

I will expand America's involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.
