Sucks to be a Republican

So that time I said I would make this post entertaining... I lied. Thats due to some mix of laziness, other homework, an unwarranted preoccupation with football, and that my life might depend on listening to B5 and Omarion right now. Whatever the case, this post will be more lame than I want it to be.

On Sunday night the Republicans had a debate in Florida that turned out to be one of the more exciting debates for that party this year. It all started when former Senator Fred Thompson decided to blast his presidential rival but party-mate Rudolph W. Giuliani for stances on abortion and “sanctuary cities” for illegal immigrants. He declared that Rudy Giuliani supports gun control, supported a Democratic candidate over a Republican candidate, and is too similar in his personal views to Hillary Clinton. Giuliani decided to not just stand pat and take it, but rather he shot right back at Fred Thompson with some fire of his own. He immediately returned by asking why he sided with trial lawyers instead of GOP senators, and attacked his voting record on things that Giuliani said would “make our legal system fairer.” Giuliani also attacked Thompson’s lack of executive experience, while simultaneously defending the aforementioned sanctuary cities. But it wasn’t just among these two. Senator McCain got into it with Mitt Romney over his previous statements. And again, it became very clear that nobody really had the support of the religious right in the election.

I personally think it is sad the state that the Iraq war has left the Republican Party in. What was supposed to be a debate really just turned into 90% of the candidates bashing each other and pointing out their flaws. At this rate they will never win the election, no matter who wins the nomination. The only thing they ever really agreed on was that they needed to bash Hillary Clinton all the time. And that probably won't win any of them the election.
