Republican candidates range from ignorant to dishonest.
Evolution and the Hand of God:

Last night's GOP debate included some questions on hot-button issues important to social conservatives. The candidates were asked whether Congress made a mistake intervening in the Terri Schiavo case (Giuliani, Romney, and McCain each gave a version of "yes" it was a mistake) and whether they supported stem cell research (Romney hedged, McCain and Giuliani said "yes").

They were also asked for their thoughts on abortion and Roe v. Wade. Answers to the abortion questions varied, but most of the candidates leaned toward a "pro-life" position. Even Giuliani, who has supported abortion rights, said it would be "ok" if the Supreme court overturned Roe....

2. What I Noticed About "America's Mayor"...
...was how he was spouting all of the right wing talking points and themes like a third grader who'd just memorized them and wanted to get them out before he forgot the verbatum lines.

The biggest piece of BS ws the line about the iranians looking at ronnie raygun for 2 minutes before deciding to release the hostages.

If there aren't Democratic operatives doing opposition research and gathering every possible sound bite to show the hypocracy of these fools, the Party should be ashamed of themselves.

3. "the Party should be ashamed of themselves."
Ya think??? They have had so many sound bites to use over the years and yet all we get is the sound of crickets.....The Democrats biggest failures over the last decade or so is to not hold them accountable for what they say and do..They seem to think it is ungentlemanly to feed their own words back to them...:shrug:
