“This is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and its future,”

[edhopper]

That's what Fred Thompson said in last night's debate. And that says it all. The Democrats are fighting for the future of our country, to undo the damage the idiot son and his Repug co-conspirators have wrought.
The Republicans are fighting for the ideology of their party.
Will America see the choice?

1. Oh boy, the heart and soul of the Republican party

Talk about scuffling over a dime. Would you go fisticuffs with someone over a dime?

But the point is well-taken: The Republican candidates care more for their party than they do the country. And as the last seven years have shown us in no uncertain terms, the Elephant always flies above the Eagle.

A battle for the heart and soul of the Republican party
