From Yahoo News -
"The candidates are walking a fine line. They are trying to tap into the deep discontent those voters feel about the state of the country without alienating any who hold Bush in high regard. At the same time, they have to counter the Democrats' powerful arguments for a new direction.
How candidates handle the 800-pound elephant in the room now could have implications beyond the primary. Privately, Republican strategists agree their nominee will lose next fall if the general election is a referendum on Bush. They say GOP candidates are wise to distance themselves from the president now, given his unpopularity among the public at large.
Bush holds the opposite view.
Asked last week whether he is an asset or a liability for Republican candidates, Bush replied: "Strong asset."

They are toast. Even Bush seems to believe that Hillary will win the presidency in '08.

Ron Paul does no longer sound something like Bush and he's a Republican candidate. in actuality he has the distinction of being between the very few who voted against going into Iraq back in 2003. he will additionally do away with the IRS and replace it without longer something If he wins. that doesn't even remotely sound like Bush to me. Oh, and yet yet another ingredient...Ron Paul is incredibly recommendations-blowing. he's incredibly a strolling encyclopedia. That on my own makes him a Polar opposite!

Ron Paul doesn't sound anything like Bush and he's a Republican candidate. In fact he has the distinction of being one of the VERY FEW who voted against going into Iraq back in 2003. He also will eliminate the IRS and replace it with NOTHING If he wins. That doesn't even remotely sound like Bush to me.
Oh, and another thing...Ron Paul is extremely bright. He is literally a walking encyclopedia. That alone makes him a Polar Opposite!

if their smart they will repeat every word that Bush has said. Remember more Americans voted for Bush than any other President in our history. Bush and Reagan have had the two greatest economies in U.S. history, and money and capitalism and our constitutional beliefs is what makes us THE GREATEST COUNTRY THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN.

The all are on the same battle plan except Ron Paul. That is what a politician should stand for. He is has brought passion back into hearts of all ages and races. Individual freedoms.
You will get the same from democrats Clinton opposed the war and wanted out after voting yes at the beginning and flipped again and wanted to stay stating its in our best interests to stay.

None of them can except Ron Paul. He stands alone as a
choice for those who think Bush is a failed president. A lot
of people, like myself, are supporting Ron Paul, but the
lamestream media continues to ignore his candidacy.

They all sound the same to me with the exception of Ron Paul.. In fact I switched parties just to vote for him.. I suggest you look into him, you'll be pleasantly surprised.. It's refreshing to know that there is someone who doesn't repeat the same neo-con garbage, and actually poses valid arguments and offers valid solutions..

I was listening to the Republican candidates (Giuliani, McCain and Thompson) talking to the NRA today on C-Span, and boy, do they sound like Bush.
And I actually mean SOUND like him!
Also, I have never witnessed such a display of brown-nosing in my life.
A bunch of halfwits.

OMG I hope he distances himself!! I am a republican and don't know which way to go yet............Canada will look pretty good if Hillary wins! Guess I am hoping Fred Thompson will step up to the plate~ He believes our Federal government should be smaller and our states should take back their rights!
I am all for that!

only ron paul. the rest are just there for hillary to have someone to compete with. with 70% of the population against the war, its obvious what the republicans are doing by staying pro war. they are just handing the election to hillary to continue the clinton/bush foreign policy. its quite obvious to me. this is why ron paul is the only republican that stands a chance against hillary.
