Iowa GOP debates

[micfranklin]

There was one on earlier today and I'm just now catching it on C-SPAN2 and it doesn't look super-interesting. However I just noticed how combative and outspoken Alan Keyes is.

Keyes is a do nothing dork who is the Harold Stassen of our times without the class. I'm glad he was included in the GOP debates. He demonstrates the Republican Big Tent theory to a T.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA

They allow Keyes, with absolutely no public support, and disallow Kucinich (whom I find odious but at least has support) and Gravel. Talk about the fix being in. At least Fred Thompson spanked that Nurse Ratchet moderator.

Looking at Keyes more closely now I'd say he makes Giuliani look good and that's saying a lot.

I found that interesting as well. The Des moines Register omits Kucinich and adds Keyes. Hmmmm....

The more I hear from the top tier candidates, the more they sound like moderates. The last thing we need in the White House is another moderate who embraces the "new tone" and tries to appease the lib socialists with entitlement programs and increased spending.
We need a conservative who will stand up not only for himself but for the traditions and principals which has served to make America great for these past centuries.
I would feel a lot better about the GOP field if Thomson, Tancredo and Hunter were at the top.
