One question asked by Charles Gibson - which he freely admitted he stole from President Bush - at tonight's debate gave some insight into the core of the candidates.
What is the key principle(s) that will guide you as president?
The answer for Ron Paul and Fred Thompson: The Constitution (tradition, principles specific to Americans)
For John McCain and Mike Huckabee: The Declaration of Independence ("endowed by Creator" - principles universal to humanity)
For Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney: Here is what I plan get done . . .
Someone needs to remind Rudy and Mitt of the definition of the word "principle." It's not the same as an "agenda." If your only principle is your agenda - well that's a serious problem of having it backwards, at best.
