Republican Presidential Debate in California

RNC Chairman Robert M. â??Mikeâ?� Duncan on 2008 Republican Presidential Debate in California


Republican National Committee Chairman Robert M. â??Mikeâ?� Duncan released the following statement in response to the 2008 Republican Presidential Debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California:


â??Maybe there really are two Americas: one of promise and opportunity that Republicans talked about tonight, and one of retreat and disappointment that the Democrats talked about last week.â?�


â??A week ago, America saw eight Democrats rush to the left. They argued to see who would be the first to leave Iraq to the terrorists, and who was most enthusiastic about raising our taxes.


â??Tonight, in contrast, the Republican candidates laid out their positive visions for America. They talked about strategies to win the War on Terror, and how to keep our taxes low so our economy will continue to grow and create jobs. The contrast with last week could not have been more stark.â?�


Okay guys, who watched it and what do you think?

^MSNBC's after-debate poll

I think it's funny as hell that Ron Paul got the highest ratings(idk now at least for a while). I don't know. I don't see any republicans that could carry both primary and general.

Anyone see Mike Gravel on Colbert?

I saw Mr.Gravel haha and I agree, none of these people are votable in my book. Even as a republican. But i'd rather throw myself into traffic than to vote Democrat. I guess it'll end up being a lesser of two evils thing...what a shame.

I find it a bit ironic that a Republican debate is on Liberal News R Us but what the hell.

I liked Romney, McCain and especially Hunter. I think a ticket featuring any two of these gentlemen would mean ultimate defeat for the "Defeat-O-Cons.

Have a good one!:s4:

Mcain is good but he said that he'd be okay with the overturn of Roe v. Wade and thats shady as hell but besides that, im good.

All I saw was a bunch of good old boy white dudes tryin to see who could be the whitest. "Look at me, I'm the whitest of the white". all pushing their warmongering bullshit along with their hooray for excess profit and lower taxes for the rich. Privatize everything and let the corporations rule. That pretty much sumed it up as I saw it. Repubes all the way. I'm open for wagering on the next election...... I think the people have had enough of this insanity. the only way the repubes win, VOTE FIXING.

Isnt it funny how whenever the republicans get into office or when something doesnt go their way the dems say were 'fixing votes'...hmmmm

There is something about Romney that strikes me as slimey. Maybe it was how he worked in the name "Reagan" in every other sentence.

I liked Tommy Thompson's response and plan on Iraq at the beginning, but he lost any momentum by the end.

Even, my boy, Ron Paul, stumbled a bit on the "Most important thing you have ever done that affects other people" question.

All-in-all, I was glad to see the fringe candidates get some air time, and it was sweet that Ron Paul won the poll. Other then that no one stood out as the next RR.

I kinda like Newt but I dunno, havent seen him around much..
