Already had a few notable movements. Ron Paul is having a great day right now. He had a smackdown on Gingrich on avoiding military service (I was married with two kids and I went) while Gingrich sounded absolutely pathetic in resonse to him. He also noted the disproportionate punishment of minorities in our justice system and reform of drug laws.
Santorum was beginning to make a good point on the necessity of staying in Afghanistan but than it immediatly degenerated into “Obama doesn’t recognize the Islamist threat” crap. :rolleyes:
Rick Perry wants to send back troops to Iraq. Try getting Iraq to do that…
They’re sure showing their true colors of bigotry, fear and hate. Keep them wimminfolk and homoseckshuls in their place, dadgummit. The states should decide on gay benefits, but the fed should pass laws that make it nearly impossible for those rights to be acted upon. One man and one woman has been the way it’s done for 3,000 years; just because we as humans have been fucking things up for that long doesn’t mean we should continue to do so. A constitutional amendment to take away rights rather than grant them: nice. The face of the Republican Party has never been as ugly as it is now.
I assume it’s not an accident that Romney and Santorum have the middle podium positions, that Gingrich and Paul flank them, and that Perry and Huntsman are banished to the netherworld of the end positions. I really don’t like the idea of giving the front runners a 1-up on the others.
Wrong. It was an issue 20 years ago. Fifty years ago, it would not have been an issue. That’s because they would have been beaten or outright murdered for raising the issue, just as blacks were beaten and murdered for raising civil rights issues.
