The Great Debaters?

It's hard to decide what to focus on when it comes to the Republican GOP. The audience at their debate was controversial enough. What you can take away from the debate is that someone without health insurance and with cancer should not be abandoned to die and the death penalty is not something to clap about. Also, soldiers, regardless of sexual orientation, should not be booed. 

Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question about a 30 year old dying of cancer without health insurance and if he should be helped.  They asked the congressman if he thought this man should die and people in the audience yelled yes. The audience also loudly clapped at Rick Perry’s state record of execution.  A gay soldier asked former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum if he would continue with the progress for gay and lesbian soldiers in the military.  The audience proceeded to boo him and no one assessed this wrongful action.

Congressman Ron Paul stirred the audience in a good manner evoking the 10^th Amendment that states that the federal government is limited only to the powers stated in the Constitution.  He stated an intention to veto every bill that violates or goes against the 10^th Amendment.  Ron Paul says that the federal government should have no authority to control the states schools, economy, or “what we do with our personal lives”.  He assures he would restore the system if elected President. 

Mitt Romney and Rick Perry clearly did their research calling each other out when it came to their perspectives on issues and how it differed in their books.  Romney said that Perry had stated that social security was unconstitutional and should be ended as a program.  On his website Rick Perry sets the record straight on his current views and how he simply feels that the system needs a change.

Controversially on Mitt Romney’s website he claims that Rick Perry wants to “dismantle” Social Security.

Rick Perry called out Mitt Romney on “Romney Care” stating that it was exactly what Obama Care was about.  Perry even went as far as saying that Romney changed his book later on to hide this fact.  Romney regained himself by speaking of candidates and how they improved their state but how he “will turn around the nation”.  The two feuded back and forth in a he said- he said manner. 

The GOP Debate was intriguing.  Perry and Romney called each other out in wrongfully portraying their thoughts on major issues. Their feud was intensified with questions of past and present stance on social security and health care reform.  The Tea Party had an audience that does not have respect for military equals simply because they are gay.  Their audience does not value equals and condoles horrible acts of death.  The controversy and inadequacy of the debate is enough to make one vote Democrat this 2012 elections.
