Debate Recap…

Debate Recap…

By |

I got home from work last night and nothing else was on TV. I wanted to enjoy an adult beverage and watch something that took my mind off the troubles of the day.. I flipped channels and ended up on the ABC GOP debate… sigh.

Well, it took my mind off MY problems, these idiots got problems…

My opinion on the entire debate can be summed up in a few words: Typical instigation, sound bite fodder and media intrusion.

First off, the questions asked were intended to knock down the frontrunner not build up the bottom dwellers. That’s typical. Eat the rich democrat principles. Bad, evil, successful frontrunner.

Secondly, The Ron Paul answer to Newt about him taking “Our tax payer money” from Fanny and Freddie… Um, WHO GAVE IT TO HIM? If you offer a service for a price and you get what you paid for who’s fault is it? IF I could get 7 figures to offer “Advice” to someone I sure as hell would do it. Tax payer money is the charge of the government. Blaming a PRIVATE entity for providing a service that the GOVERNMENT is willing to pay for is NOT the PRIVATE entity’s fault. ITS THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT FOR BEING DUMB ENOUGH TO PAY FOR IT.

I’d ask Ron Paul how many clits he looked at when he was a gynodoctor that were paid for by a government program? Like medicaid/medicare/welfare etc….Should he give that back too? Tax payers paid for some of them to have their coochy inspected….just sayin.

Perry did pretty good this round. He’s still very shaky on stage, stutters a lot, gets lost often. He’s still better than most of them.

Bachmann hammered the leaders. She bashed Romney/Newt relentlessly and for that she’s off my wish list. She didn’t need to go as far as she did to promote herself. She’s pretty much cemented herself as the crazy lady even though I do like her, I think bashing your fellow competitors in that manner turns folks off when we need a LEADER who will stand. You need to show YOU are the one because YOU are the best, not because THEY are not the best.

Newt handled the onslaught of media led attacks better than any of them would have. I can’t wait until Bachmann, and Paul get their chance to be in the middle. (IF they did) Paul would get so flustered his eyebrows would straighten out. Bachmann would pull out the sexist card… Bet on it.

Santorum may have done the best of the night. He is likeable but I’m not sure how he’d be received in the general election. IT all depends on where we are in June or so of 2012. IF we’re no better then than we are now, Charles Manson will beat Obama. IF we’re better off, then it’s going to be a tough road for ANY GOP Candidate.

Herman Cain, “High Tech Lynching?”

Herman Cain, “High Tech Lynching?”

Okay after a couple days of hearing about Herman Cain’s ALLEGED sexual harassment charges, I’ve decided it’s time for me to weigh in.

Why is it only CONSERVATIVE black men get HUGE media attention IMMEDIATELY when they get accused of sexual misconduct? Seems to me John Edwards had MUCH more damning evidence against him and it took a year and the National Enquirer to find it…

In my best Obama voice: Let me be clear, I am not a big supporter of Herman Cain. I do like him better than most of the candidates. Herman Cain has a lot going for him, he’s also got a few things against him IMO. His stance on gun control worries me greatly. But no more than Romney or Newt. Cain’s experience in DC politics is missing, which is good and bad.. But THIS sexual harassment charge is B.S.

Here’s what should bother everyone in America. If it doesn’t your eyes are shut.

From the start of the campaign season, Romney has led the field. As soon as one candidate comes close to him, the media pounces. They’re digging like mad China men under the gun. They NEVER dug up or even attempted to dig up anything about Obama.

So what does that tell you? It tells you the media who in large part are OBAMA SUPPORTERS are wanting ROMNEY to be the Republican candidate. WHY? Because it takes OBAMACARE off the discussion. AND THE MEDIA THINKS OBAMA CAN BEAT ROMNEY.

Rick Perry has stumbled badly. He’s under the lamp too.

This is PRIMARY SEASON. The vetting WE do should be based on OUR research. Do NOT LET THE MEDIA PICK YOUR GUY/GAL. Research both sides and come to your own conclusion. Consider all sources of information.

Ask yourself ONE question about ANY source you find: DID THEY REPORT ON OBAMA IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT IN 2008? IF they didn’t discount them. Find another one.

I’ve seen MANY Conservatives pouncing on Cain for this indiscretion. The fact is, he settled it out of court. PERIOD. The only reason it’s even news now, is Cain is on top of a lot of polls.

I have my own reasons for discounting Cain but this hatchet job by the MSM isn’t going to be one of them.

Cain beats Obama in 2012 if they meet in the general. Fact..

This sexual harassment thing isn’t something the Democrats can talk about much… Clinton anyone.

All of this is history repeating itself. Successful black man who is conservative is like a runaway slave to the media. Clarence Thomas anyone?….

There’s another problem, I’ve heard Rick Perry’s camp gave the story to Politico… IF that’s the case, then Perry is going on the shit list. IF you can’t beat the man in ideals and you do this YOU SIR have shown poor character and it will set MANY conservatives off. As I said IF. I don’t believe for a minute Rick Perry would do that.

But I’ve been wrong before.

 

Republican Debate Note to Candidates.

Republican Debate Note to Candidates.

A special note to Bachmann and Romney. IF you attack Perry on his record that’s fine. IF you take a page out of the liberal group think tank, and parse statements with LIES,  you will lose ALL support from MOST of us on the right. At this moment I’d vote for Bachmann, after this debate we will see if that’s still the case. Rumor has it they will be attacking Perry for his “Social Security Statements.”

They better make their case for why they are better than Perry without disparaging Perry. Just a little advice from a voter who can be very nasty to folks who are nasty…

UPDATE

Didn’t see the debate, but I read enough about it to make an informed opinion.

Bachmann: Trying to remain relevant attacked Perry on his executive order involving vaccinations. She neglected to acknowledge that Perry also admitted his error and included an OPT-OUT clause. That puts the decision back where it should be with the parents.

Mitt Romney: Attacked Perry on his Illegal Immigration (As did Bachmann) IMO only Bachmann has the ground to stand on in this charge. Romney is NOT strong on Illegal Immigration. Although Bachmann has never had to make a decision regarding it and has never had to look into the faces of those that the decisions hurt. Personally I think this is the only area Perry is vulnerable in the primaries. Perry pissed me off more than once with his actions and statements regarding this issue.

Ron Paul: Um… Well, Yeah he actually did say that.

Herman Cain: Yeah I like the guy but he’s not going to get elected.

Huntsman: Um. Well, he’s an idiot RINO with a following similar to Ron Paul.

Santorum: Piled on Perry because “Hey everyone else is doing it”..

Seriously. I don’t think Perry is the BEST man/woman for the job. I think he’s the best we got right now and he’s a damn sight better than the idiot in charge now.

Bachmann and Romney disregarded the basic rules of Reagan Republicans. Don’t talk bad about other Republicans. They pissed away a lot of independent support because of their actions. Bachmann who wanted to strip vet benefits, Romney who started Obamacare for him have little high ground in any debate.
