The debate system is so skewed to the front runners that, for the “sheep like followers” that represent a majority of voters, the media decides on who is worth even considering. The one Republican candidate that is truly different from the rest is Ron Paul and he gets minimal opportunity to participate. He is the only real conservative up there with a undeniable record of fiscal responsibility and honesty regardless of the political fallout. It is absolutely amazing how pro Iraq the Republican candidates are (except Paul) knowing that issue alone is going to sink them in the general election. The country is not going to overlook a candidate that is committed to 8 more years of Iraq. The Republican party needs to truly redefine what conservatism is (smaller federal gov, much less federal spending and greater protection of rights with less intervention abroad) as this has been completely overlooked in favor of their stand on abortion.
