My Observations Of The Debate
Edited on Wed Oct-19-11 09:12 AM by DemocratSinceBirth
Mitt Romney- He does exude an air of confidence. He reminds me of an insurance defense lawyer. He can argue both sides of the same issue and win. He needs this ability as he has been on both sides of every issue. You can see him and Perry despise one another and that Romney is turning Perry into his pinata.

Herman Cain- His failure to acknowledge that his nine percent sales tax means many folks will be paying a sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen percent sales was priceless and suggesting everybody was wrong on his tax plan but him was hilarious. I also liked when he said he would negotiate with Al Qaeda but not with terrorists.

Newt Gingrich- - He has lot of ideas though most of them are bad. But people are impressed by folks that act like they know what they are talking about.

Ron Paul - At least he has a coherent ideology.

Rick San(atorium) - C He kept blathering about his record of electoral success in a blue state. Last I checked he's running for president because he lost his Senate seat.

Rick Perry- What can I say. He's Mitt Romney's punching bag or tacking dummy

Michelle Bachmann- I "loved" her answer to the foreclosure crisis. She said help was on the way but she never specified what that help was.

I must say that the debate provided many knee slapping moments.

1. I thought Perry did a good job exposing Romney.
Which is great for us!

2. I thought so too.. he seems like a childish simpleton, in a way, which really highlighted Romney's
nastiness.

3. Exactly. Romney was too brutal and low blow oriented. Not only nasty but small.

4. Would have been really hysterical if not for the possibility that one of them could be President.
I kept thinking of the end of the song Send in the Clowns (don't bother, they're here). But the fact that there is a chance that one of these idiots might be inaugurated next year frankly, is terrifying. So we can laugh now but it won't be so funny next year and with the massive disenfranchisement currently in the works, rigged electronic voting machines and an overwhelming number of independents who this time, may not come out for Obama, the landslide we need to win is looking less and less likely.

6. I was glad to see Mittens slap around the dumbfuck Perry.
Perry is a stupid man. He is slow and his face screams what he is feeling/thinking - which is usually rage or confusion

7. Perry calling Cain "brother" was the most disgusting display
from a Presidential candidate that I have ever seen. I didn't watch the whole debate, but I saw that. A big group of kids out on the playground, or street corner trying to "one up" one another.

President Obama will wipe the floor with whomever the nominee is, imo.

8. My observations confirmeds ...
what I have always known about the Republicans Party; they exist to service themselves and anyone who will support the lining of their pockets.

out their tongue.

11. Perry pronounces Nuclear just like Bush.....Nucular.
I do remember that.

As for the other parts of the debate,
these folks depressed me, and that's about
the only thing that left a mark on me.
