Hugh Hewitt: Just say no to Nancy Reagan

Washington Examiner ^

[roses of sharon]

I agree with Hugh here, time for a change in Republican debates.

[sageb1]

Agree.

[Artemis Webb]

With all due respect to Nancy Reagan...Hewitt is correct.

[TChad]

Hewitt is exactly right, and he should be on that panel.

[FlyVet]

or a panel of Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved --

No, how about some unknown people who understand the Constitution asking hardcore questions? Why does it have to be celebrities?

Enough with the celebrities.

[freekitty]

I agree.

[Psalm 144]

I agree with Hugh here, time for a change in Republican debates.

*************

Indeed.

[Jedidah]

I may get flamed for this, but it’s also time to move on from the Reagan adoration.

I strongly believe in understanding history, honoring it, and learning from it, but the continual references to Reagan are wearing thin. He has been gone for decades.

The conservative argument must be made for today and for the future, not looking backward. Continually talking about the Reagan years makes it look like today’s conservatives want to live in the past and have no answers for today’s problems.

Reagan’s place in history is assured. He was right about many things. But a huge percentage of the electorate has no personal memory of his Presidency.

We need new leaders who can articulate conservative principles for today’s world.

[The Cajun]

Totally agree. I fact I really don't see anything wrong with Rush, Hannity or Mark Levin moderating a Republican debate. Why have the usual lefty enemies moderate a Republican debate, doesn't make sense in any way, shape or form.

[TheThinker]

Brit Hume and Major Garret would give the panel some heft as well from the cable news perspective. And how about Laura Ingraham? Thomas Sowell?

[roses of sharon]

Agreed, and I am sure Hugh does too...most of us would like to see a panel of “celebs” maybe just once, it would be fun and serious too.

[Minn]

Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved

What would be interesting would be to have this panel, sans the simpleton Hannity, as moderators and questioners for the Dem primary debates.

[liberty or death]

Oh yeah. It’s time to STOP letting the libs and Rinos define the debates or the where these debates will happen. Open forum, head to head with only a mediator for enforcement of the time limit.

Libs, Socialists and Rinos will be destroyed in this setting.

That damn old truth will be destroy liars in the light of day and it’s enemies will be exposed.

I strongly believe in understanding history, honoring it, and learning from it, but the continual references to Reagan are wearing thin. He has been gone for decades.

People tend to forget history and have to be reminded of past heros. Reagan was a champion against oppressive government and for individual freedom, individual rights and therefore individual empowerment.

He was truly the Great Communicator of timeless principles. He cannot be spoken of enough.

[Steelers6]

Why are we even talking about Presidential debates next Spring. This is rediculous 18 months before a Presidential election and 8 months before the 1st primary. It’s time to roll this back to have Presidential Primaries in the Spring instead of immediately after New Years 2012.

[Williams]

I have an idea for the ultimate presidential debates, which could apply to a primary debate.

Let the participants select questioners. They would no doubt pick heavyweight supporters, and the strategy of picking who will go after your opponents would be very interesting.

[Baynative]

NO-NO-NO ...to taking the spot light off Obama.

NO-NO-NO to letting liberals control the early agenda!

[presently no screen name]

I agree and glad someone spoke out against it.

[DTogo]

The first ever "Talk Radio Republican Primary Debate."

Would half the candidates dare show up?

Why have the usual lefty enemies moderate a Republican debate, doesn't make sense in any way, shape or form.

It does to the lefties - and they got a head start on it.

Rush would be excellent but no to Hannity.
