Our friend DCE, the Weekend Pundit, is liveblogging tonight’s Republican debate here. He has a nice, concise running account of the event as it rolls on. I have to say that it has been a very good exchange thus far, with a lot of back and forth. Other than Ron Paul, who has crazy foreign policy views, these guys are doing a nice job of demonstrating the reason Republicans are best for America. I have heard a lot of of really good ideas put forth tonight. It will be interesting to see the contrast when the Dems have their turn…

I thought that John McCain handled the illegal immigration issue in a commanding fashion. He showed the same stuff he did the other night in Derry on this matter. He attacks this, the issue many of his detractors try to use against him, with great vigor. You have to admire his taking his supposed weak point by the horns, and wrestling it to his advantage. He did a great job of showing that his positions are no different than the others on the stage. McCain has surely helped his case with NH Republicans tonight. Others that did well, in my opinion, are Fred Thompson, and Rudy. All three look up to the task of giving whoever the Dems nominate a run for the money!

"A proliferation of nuclear weapons mainly in the hands of terrorists."~ Bill Richardson. Oh really? While that’s the fear, I don’t think he’s right, because if they had one, they’d use it. Then he goes on with his normal blather, basically blaming all the ills of the world on the Bush Administration and the fact it doesn’t talk to people. And this guy is the supposed "detail guy" with a great resume? Please! Egads, these guys (and gal) scare me. To think that any of them would be tougher in Afghanistan than Bush is laughable. Is it just me, or is Charlie Gibson using a much different tone than he did earlier with the Republicans?

At least the Dems will most likely have the good sense to pass over Bill Richardson when they make their pick. As bad as the rest are, Bill Richardson is just plain pathetic (I just can’t help but to keep bagging on this guy because he’s just so bad…sorry).

I can’t stomach much more of listening to the Dems. The bottom line is that if we elect them, we will call it quits and retreat from the main front in the new world war. Why would anybody that considers themself an American favor our Nation’s surrender in a war we can win?
