In this debate, I was very impressed with firstly, Romney, and I also was impressed with Giuliani and McCain. Again, the “top tier” in most minds regardless of the polls. But I think Thompson has a chance, and with more participation in the debates his chances will improve.
Now, to be truthful, I am not in the Thompson camp – I’m supporting Romney. If Giuliani takes it, however, I think I will be pretty happy with that. I think McCain is again a big winner in the debates, but I don’t think he will win the nomination. I could be wrong, but this is my feel on it.
I really like Romney’s perspective on the dynamics of the economy, and how to promote a future economy. But on this subject, Giuliani really struck a bell for me, making me consider what I usually don’t think of – and that is a positive approach, the idea of really getting on board with what we, as Americans, can sell to the other world . . . in fact, he even made mention of America selling health care to the world. What a wonderful attitude and perspective on the future economy of America. Sure, we need to do things to protect our economy, but really what drives our economy is what we produce and offer as exciting and valuable ideas, products, and services to the world.
Back to McCain – the Papal bulls of excommunication are over.
Tancredo was again very impressive in his words and his solutions, his vision as to what causes the problems and how to solve them.
What I liked about this debate was that this time, the constant harping on the abortion issue was the focus as happened in some previous debates . . . and I’m really very tired of hearing from the moderators the spin about former verse current positions on issues, to tell the truth I don’t even what to hear much more of that sort of line even if directed at Hillary Clinton. I am interested in these Republican candidates, to listen to their positions as of today, where they want to go, and I’m not interested in their former marriages or any sort of thing. I do not agree with James Dobson’s approach or attitude in this 2008 election, I am not interested in any Third-Party at this time, and if Giuliani is the candidate that Republicans select, I will very happily support him. I will put his picture up on my wall, and I will give him my support.
The Republican Party isn’t a party that purges or polices their members, nor their candidates. That is what the Democratic Party does. The candidate we select will be passed or made by the free will of members. The members of this Party. It doesn’t matter how much money the corporate interests put into the process, the members of the Republican Party make their decisions on what they hear and see in the candidates. Yes, there have been some very sore points, and disappointments, anger, and justified rebellion. And that is good, because now we will make even a more educated, thoughtful decision. The right decision will be made. We are going to kick the Democrats butt. Just watch. And yes, there are some who hate “dirty politics”. But I really don’t mind giving the enemy the dirt, because I want to fight, I want to give Hillary hell. I know so many fellow Republicans hate Dick “Commie Killer” Nixon. But there are still some old tricky Dick out there, the old school isn’t totally dead yet, and some old fight is coming for Hillary. Just watch.
Hillary – there is a Republican under your bed. Spooky. Spooky.
Boo.
“India .. new customers, what can we sell to them? Energy independence, health care, there is so much we can sell to them …” – I like it Giuliani …
Yes, Romney (I’m the Romney supporter) and Giuliani boxed it out at this debate. And that’s good. I enjoyed it. And I like them both.
no relation to Alec I hope!
