TPMtv: GOP '08: Feel the Excitement!!!

Tomorrow night the Republican presidential candidates will debate in Dearborn, Michigan - the first debate of the full Fred-Thompson-included GOP field. With Thompson's feeble performance on the campaign trail thus far, Rudy Giuliani's fundamental obstacles in winning over the religious right wing of the party, and Mitt Romney's, well, chronic Mitt Romneyism, we thought we'd check the enthusiasm temperature of the Republican party. Catch the GOP '08 fever!!!

Why is Bill Kristol still proped up as an authority?

He's proved again and again that he's completely wrong about just about everything.

Mass Media Stupidity

The Arkansas Republican Assembly endorsed Fred Thompson 80%....the Huckster got 4%. What do his peers who worked with him 10 years+ know that his supporters don't? Better get a clue....

"Conservatives beat liberals only when we challenge their outdated positions, not embrace them. This is not a time for philosophical flexibility, it is a time to stand up for what we believe in. Together we can carry the conservative banner all the way to the Whitehouse." -Fred Thompson-

Kristol is all washed up.

I had a hard time telling if you were sarcastic, because all of those cuts could very well be mocking Ron Paul, it's scary to see how much he thinks we could do without.

He's not a radical. And it's not "virtually no government". What's he getting rid of? The Department of Education, Department of Energy, the CIA, the Federal Reserve (eventually), the IRS, Medicare (while still paying for people who are dependent), Social Security (while still paying...), the war in Iraq, the war on drugs, the Patriot Act, and Guantanamo. We don't need any of those. It's not radical. It's common sense.

What are you afraid of? All of his government limiting is to increase the effectiveness of it all.

Its time for people to stop voting mainstream and vote whats right! RON PAUL!

until republcans reject the fanatical christian wing of their party, begin to realize americans, other from the south, don't align with the likes of perkins, their future is doomed to an also ran.

[wntoply6]

the problems with the rep. party doesn't stem just from the failed bush, but also by the mean spiritedness of their religious wing(btw from which bush comes).

until these so called "christians" learn to be more christian, they will continue to bring the party down.

& until these so called "christians" realize most americans are on to their hate & bigotry driven politics they will become a 3 party, behind a new conservative party that stays away from the "christian" label.

Giuliani will say anything to get elected...I cannot wait for Obama to sink his teeth into that hack.

[zomgFletch]

he's very radical. I'm all for a smaller government... but it seems like he wants virtually no government! it's scary, really.
