The Right's Field » GOP Debate Clips

Crooks and Liars has various clips from tonight’s Republican debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Watch them while you can.

Show of hands. How many of you are so desperate to win the nomination that you will deny evolution on national television?

Updated at 9:20pm [by Matt Ortega]: More videos! AMERICAblog caught Tommy Thompson in a huge flip-flop on firing gays for being gay.

Shorter Rudy Giuliani: “I’m the undecider on Roe.”

SurveyUSA says… “Rudy Giuliani convincingly won tonight’s Republican presidential debate. Giuliani was picked as the winner by 30% of those in California who watched, followed by Mitt Romney at 12% and Sen. John McCain at 11%. All other candidates were in single digits,” reports Political Wire.

Also, “Five Hurdles for Republicans in 2008.” Really? Just five?

Hunter answered a question about being a compassionate conservative, which he answered yes, and then moved on about Iran’s meddling in Iraq, vis-a-vis blowing shit up in Iran. Compassionate?
