Liveblogging the GOP presidential debate: Part V
McCain would appoint a Dem to a cabinet post. Someone other than Joe Lieberman. Then again, Lieberman isn't a Democrat.
Hunter offers more "secure the border" rhetoric. He's competing with Tancredo for the Minutemen vote.
McCain believes in evolution but also thinks the hand of God is in the Grand Canyon.
Giuliani has some idea of the difference between Sunnis and Shias.
Gilmore explains why he's a "consistent conservative." And mentions Reagan.
Does Ron Paul trust the mainstream media? "Some of them. But I trust the internet a lot more." He opposes regulating the internet. No argument there.
Brownback gives a stock answer to whether his religious beliefs affect his foreign policy decisions. "Everyone's beliefs affects their decisions!"
What's Giuliani's greatest weakness? He doesn't answer. No matter; a lot of former New Yorkers could answer that question for him. Brownback blathers about "big ideas." After all this talk about Reagan this, Reagan that, they're talking about "big ideas." Uh-huh. You know, Gilmore actually seems to have a brain and sense--which is why he won't get the nomination. I don't agree with this guy on a lot of things, but he, like Paul, sounds genuine.
Rudy supports an ID card for immigrants, as does Mitt. Brownback's against it. He's going with the "secure the border" idea.
Whooooo! Ron Paul is out of the gates, slamming the idea of a national ID card! You tell 'em, Ron!
It's the Scooter question. Romney thinks it's shameful that Scooter was prosecuted. Brownback's not answering the question. Except he says Scooter didn't break any laws. Gee, I didn't realize perjury was legal. Tancredo uses the question as an excuse to talk about immigration and borders and the like. See? I told you he was a one-issue candidate.
Paul says he shouldn't be pardoned. Man, is this guy on fire!
Brownback says Congress was right to intervene in the Schiavo case. Romney says no, but does say the governer was right to step in. Giuliani says the court was the best place to decide.
They're asked about whether it would be good to have Clinton back in the White House. Mitt and Brownback and the rest start spouting the usual talking points about Hillary, socialized medicine, Reid, Pelosi, legislating from the benches, activist judges, Democrats allegedly being soft on terror--the usual tired sloppola. You know, these guys don't really have anything new or worthwhile to say, do they? Maybe they should stick to talking about Ronald Reagan.
