I watched about the first 90 minutes.....
It started like some sort of really bad reality show. Each candidate walking on to the stage and then getting introduced with a nickname. Kooky Michelle Bachmann is the "firebrand",Insane Herman Cain is the 'businessman",etc. This debate would have been a perfect gig for Jeff Probst of "Survivor".
The crowd as usual was almost all white.
I saw maybe 2 or 3 blacks,not counting Herman Cain
Next they play the National Anthem. Only ones singing along are Romney & Santorum. What's really shocking is that Paul,Gingrich,and Bachmann are not wearing flag pins
I seem to recall the wingnuts going into a frenzy when Barack Obama didn't wear one. Not a peep of outrage though when it's a Repuke doing it.
Once again I have to give to Romney. Perry had to keep walking back his Social Security statements. He also looked weird,and was figidty. He reminds me of Bush,except I think Dubya was smarter. How frightening is that? One thing he shares with Bush is that same blank stare.
Bachmann laid off of Perry for the first hr. I was thinking they had a FWB deal and we're going to get a room after the debate. That changed later when she attacked him for making young girls get "government injections". Turns out that Perry's chief of staff was a lobbyist for Merck the drug company that benefited from the executive order who also donated to Perry's campaign. How cozy and convenient.
The creepy moment came discussiing health care. Repubs never disappoint do they? When the question was posed that if some kid who doesn't think they'll get sick,who has no insurance, gets into
an accident,what should happen? Knuckledraggers in the audience responded and yelled "Let em die"!
Nice huh?
