This is the first Republican event I've watched in this long election term. I am a registered democrat but that doesn't mean I only vote for democrats, I want to get all of the information to make a sound vote on election day. Coming in to this debate, I had heard that there were a few key candidates, mainly Giuliani and McCain. After watching this debate, I felt both of those candidates side-stepped past more than three questions each and the clear leader (as far as having decisive answers, American values, and a concrete policy plan) would have to be Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, followed by Governor Mike Huckabee. Is it just media bias that had me coming in expecting something completely different or am I missing something here?
politicians need not know anything in order to hold office. Let is presume them to be morons. All politicians receive is lessons on how to propose and write legislation, that's all. They use this uber skill to win votes and pass legislation for the special interest groups that financially back their campaigns every election year.
