I watched most of the Republican debate last night and honestly I’ve been so dissapointed by Republicans recently that I didn’t even know half of the guys running. But now that I’m more familiar with the candidates, I have some random thoughts.

1. Why are Mitt Romney’s teeth so white? He looks like Ross in that episode of Friends where he gets a fake tan and teeth whitening and everyone makes fun of him. It’s hard to trust a guy who has perfect teeth. He looks like he should be making Crest commercials. Unlike Democrat women, I’m not interested in a “hot guy” to be president. I want the right guy. And how dumb and insensitive do you have to be to compare your son’s work on your campaign to those in Iraq giving their lives. The father in the cafe who told him how offended he was deserved a personal apology and he didn’t get it. That was just rude. Conclusion: Not it.

2. Tancredo wins the funniest answer of the night award for the Craig response. To summerize; when our guys have problems they leave. When Democrats have problems like this, they often make them chairmen of their respective committees. I loved his answer on illegals and his belief in the RULE OF LAW. Conclusion: I think Tancredo is too much of an unknown to get anywhere but I appreciate him in the debate. He added value to the discussion.

3. Ron Paul. What can I say about this guy except, what a whiny bitch! When he gets worked up, his pitch starts to rise to an earsplitting whine that would be comical if it wasn’t so grating. What a coward! I could actually see him shaking when he whined about angering Iran. Big bad Iran scares Paul so bad, he’s ready to retreat faster than the Parisians when Hitler came marching in. It’s guys like him who will see us all in burqas before this is all over. I’ve got news for Paul. Iran may very well be a problem, but we are more than well-equipped to handle it. We have the capability of turning Iran into a big smoking hole. What we lack is a leader with the testicular fortitude to do it. Someone needs to check Ron Paul’s pants. Maybe he sold his testicles to Hillary.

4. Poor Duncan Hunter. I wanted to know this guy because I’ve heard a lot of good things about him but he just doesn’t have the charisma needed to win the presidency. Unlike Romney who has fake charisma that is cheesy and transparent, Hunter has none. I did laugh at his fence answer, summary-if you get over my fence, we sign you up for the Olympics immediately! But he got lost on stage to me. Conclusion: He doesn’t stand out.

5. Brownback….who?

6. McCain-This guy is such a loser. He is STILL backing that disaster of an immigration bill! It’s unbelievable. Talk about a guy who doesn’t have his finger on the pulse of the nation! No one wants that bill except the idiots who wrote it! But he’s sticking to it, by God! I respect McCain for his service. But he is not the answer we’ve been looking for.

7. Guiliani-He answered some tough questions about his record with illegals and I thought he did a pretty good job. Some of it sounded like passing the buck but on the whole I thought he was very convincing. I do like him, but I’m not sure he has my vote.

Which brings us to the elephant not in the room, Fred Thompson. I have to say I am disappointed he blew off the debate. It wasn’t some half-baked event. This was THE event. It’s fine with me that he skipped all that nonsense in New Hampshire…flipping pancakes or shaking babies…or whatever they do that is NONSENSE. I totally respect his aversion to that dog and pony show. However, the debate is the real event where serious people want to hear your line. Why was Fred on Leno? I’m not impressed. Too Cool for School Thompson is going to come off to many as arrogant. I’m glad the candidates gave him a good ribbing for being absent. I think it was a mistake. It made me, who had thought he would be my guy, rethink it.
I believe the Republicans have an uphill battle this time. The party is a mess. The corruption and scandal is obscene and while I’ll vote for the Republican candidate, I won’t be devastated if we lose. You and I will not deserve the ensuing nightmare of liberalism gone wild, but they will.
