Kristol is supposed to be angry all the time now, he writes for the NYSlimes! It’s part of their job description.

[Sunnyflorida]

Anita, Good point. I never quite thought of it that way. The major point that stands out is their disagreement with the President on immigration. And think about how popular Bush would be with us if he took a different stance on immigration and threatened to veto the the amnesty bill.

McCain was and actual named-sponsor of the bill.

I don’t see Romney as a flipflopper as much as a guy that got the message.

I think a Mitt/Fred or Fred/Mitt ticket would be fantastic.

[Morgan in Denver]

It really was amazing to see Democrats pretend to be serious in addressing terrorism. They must not read their past statements, and for sure they believe voters are too wrapped up with how wonderful the Democrats are to pay much attention.

[penelopesire]

I have a new slogan (wish I knew how to put a tagline next to my name?):

“The Only CHANGE you will get with the Democrats, is the CHANGE left in your pocket”

came up with it last night....lol

[Mo1]

Nailed it

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. What the heck is change? There is supposed to be two sides to argue and vote on. This whole crap of let’s all be bipartisan is bunk, IMHO.

[rodguy911]

Absolutely, bipartisan to the Dem/rats
means we give in all the time.

[mathluv]

I just switched from Fox to FNews - don’t want to see mitt. FN talking about snow storm in the west - got to watch that global warming.

""Making change, making change, wait a minute, wait a minute! I am going to respond to this, because obviously.... MAKING CHANGE is not about what you believe."

Hillary Clinton's Heated Response

By the way, did you hear that she has "35 years of Experience."

Really?

Is she counting being a campus radical, a lawyer for the Black Panthers, working for a crooked Arkansas law firm, and stealing money from Wall Street cattle futures as part of this "35 years?"

[9YearLurker]

I like it! That’s our best hope. At least to the point of a brokered convention, if not outright.

[Morgan in Denver]

Rush picks up on that too, all the time. He made the same comments this past week.

[SkyPilot]

If you “make change” with a Democrat, it means you give them $20.00 - and they give you three singles and a quarter.

[penelopesire]

LOL. Good point about her 35 years ‘experience’

[tarheelswamprat]

Great take on Hunter JM. A lot of us think the same thing. That the DBM has made a concerted effort to keep all the true conservatives,Hunter Fred and Tancredo out of the lime light as much as possible. So far it has worked. The New Media have done little to counter them, a huge mistake, IMHO.

Both your observations are accurate, but it could be a bit more ominous than simply a mistake. What is being revealed by the tacit omission, and often deliberate distortion, by New Media figures who are ostensibly on "our side", of coverage and discussion of the genuinely conservative candidates is that many of our putative conservative "champions" in the New Media may simply be more or less "market opportunists" rather than dedicated true believers in conservative values.

Without mentioning specific names, there are several of the so-called New Media conservative pundits who have always given me the impression that they simply saw a market niche where they could establish a career and a name for themselves in the "big game" of national politics and make good money flacking conservatism.

And THAT is pretty much the limit of the depth of their conservative convictions. It is far more important to these types to maintain their Beltway cred as "players" by focusing on the political horse-race than it is for them to sincerely advocate conservative and Constitutional ideas and principles.

This election will be extremely revealing, probably painfully so. It will reveal whether or not the American populace has been sufficiently dumbed-down and doctrinally re-educated for them to allow their freedom, their rights and in fact their very nation to be snatched away from them by their own leaders and government. It will also reveal that, as noted above, many of our supposed allies in the conservative movement were never more than exploitive opportunists.

[anita]

Popularity aside, Prez was saying the same thing all along since 2000. I think he was sincere about his position. That aside, I don't think there is any difference on important policy matters - like tax-cuts, Terrorism, military etc.

Fred & Mitt are more closer to the current WH than anybody-else. I am sure WH will provide all the necessary help it can to keep it on our side.

[popdonnelly]

I’ll give you an effective but probably unpopular solution. Punish the employers. That will deter them from hiring illegals. The employers are the ones with something to lose.

[Reagan Man]

Myth Romney just said, if you want a principled candidate, I’m not your guy!

Okay, Myth! I won’t vote for you!

GO FRED!

[maica]

Was Thompson mentioned at all by the panel?

####

I really don’t recall, so the answer is probably no.

I am now listening to Reliable Sources, and they are ignoring the words “Fred Thompson” also.

[barryg]

Jeb Bush is available for a draft if the GOP nomination gets brokered in Minneapolis. He may be our only hope at this point.

Polls show the Democrats are the favorites to win in November, unless we can get a fresh new candidate, like Jeb.

[Mo1]

During last night's debate, McCain was clearly disconcerted by the immigration question and the "A" word. His lashing out at and interrupting Romney on the issue is an idication of his weakness on the issue. Romney and Thompson need to go after him hard on this issue, especially in South Carolina.

Romney shouldn't have take McCain's bait with the bickering back and forth

But imo .. McCain looked and sounded like a grumpy old man last light
