Today's GOP Presidential Debate in Michigan


Tonight John McCain will once again take the stage with his Republican opponents and face off on the issues important to America. If the past debates are any indication, this debate will be another decisive night in which John McCain will stand head and shoulders above his opponents and prove that he is the only one who is ready to lead our country on day one.

Please tune in for this important debate at 1PM Phx Time on CNBC. The debate will also be re-broadcast, in its entirety, at 6PM Phx Time on MSNBC.

This debate, taking place in Dearborn, Michigan, will be the first debate focusing on economic issues. John McCain is leading the charge to stop out-of-control government spending, keep taxes low and simplify the overly complex and burdensome tax code. As President, he will veto every wasteful spending bill that comes to his desk.

This morning, John McCain addressed the Detroit Economic Club talking about these important issues and outlining his vision for a strong and prosperous US Economy. Read his remarks here.

America needs experienced leadership to guide the U.S. economy to greater prosperity and we need someone that can stand up against Hillary Clinton and the Democrats in the general election. That man is John McCain.

The Fishbowl DC Blog has an interesting blurb from Chris Matthews, from 'Harball' & the moderator at today's debate:
On today's "Morning Joe," Joe Scarborough asked Chris Matthews if Republican candidates would try to get a "cheap applause line" tonight by pointing to his recent controversial comments.

Said Matthews:

I've been thinking about that....It's not my stage tonight. I don't have much
standing to retort in real time.
However, I do have one sensitive point and
that is, I don't mind being wrong -- I try to be right. I don't mind somebody
saying I'm not fair -- I try to be fair. ... If someone says I'm not
independent, it's going to be very hard for me to bite my tongue. ...
For
twenty years I've paid the price of indepdendence. I've taken it from everybody
... every night of my life for the past twenty years. ...
If they accuse of
me of being partisan, I'll go rip! ...
It's not about me, it's about them and
who's going to be president during these difficult times.

Scarborough predicted that three Republican candidates would poke fun of Chris. Said Matthews: "Let's hope it doesn't happen."

Breitbart has the video.
