I could write quite a bit about tonight’s Republican “debate” on CNN, but it’s after midnight and I’d like to get some sleep so I’ll try to contain myself.
Let’s just say that — as expected — the “debate” was basically a joke. It wasn’t even close to being a debate, it was a pathetic and staged Question & Answer session. Complete with planted question-posing-citizens and not even a speck of diversity in the audience. Ten old white men on the stage, watched by a crowd of expressionless white people.
The questions? Irrelevant. Predictable. Same as every election. Buzz words and fear tactics galore. Racist, sexist, ethnocentric cowards preaching their strongly held Pro-Life stances while at the same time emphasizing the need to wage preemptive war on “Islamic Extremists” who “worship death.” They talked about how great Freedom and Liberty is in this country as if our civil liberties still stand fully in tact. They reminded us that we still need to get “them” over there so they don’t get us over here. You remember 9/11 right? Giuliani just wants to make sure you don’t forget. Oh and also don’t forget— every human life is sacred (unless you’re in the Middle East, or gay) and evolution is a lie.
People are still swallowing this stuff? Do they really think that gays openly serving in the military is one of the most important issues facing our country right now? Come on Wolf Blitzer, ask them some real questions.
Okay okay, I said I wouldn’t write that much. Let’s get to the polls. The follow-up polls on CNN.com and MSNBC right now (midnight) show Ron Paul KICKING MAJOR ASS. Yet he continues to be totally ignored by the so-called “political analysts” as has been the case this entire time. You wouldn’t even know he was there tonight if you went only by their commentary. But if you look at the voting results, you’ll get a whole different story.
CNN has Ron Paul winning the debate with 53% of the votes, knowing the most about the issues, having the best one-liner/comeback, and more.
MSNBC has Paul “standing out from the pack” with 63% of the votes (Romney trailing in 2nd place with a lousy 10%.) He is also sweeping the second question, “Showing the most leadership qualities” with 60% (2nd place is Romney with 11%.) But wait, there’s more! Who is the “most convincing candidate” you wonder? Why, that’d be Ron Paul with 62% of the votes! I’m sensing a trend here…
Poor Giuliani is not faring very well at all, despite the pundits’ state-of-denial. I hate to give the general public any credit anymore because I am always left terribly disappointed, but it’s almost as if people are realizing he was in on 9/11 and are finally getting pissed about it. They might even know that Giuliani knew since the ‘93 WTC bombing that the FDNY’s radios didn’t work inside steel buildings, but wanted to uphold his Motorola contract so he kept his mouth shut and 343 firefighters died (as a result of not being able to hear the evacuation orders.) Not to mention that he allowed the largest crime scene in American history to be quickly scooped up and sold as scrap while victims were still being searched for in the rubble and some were eventually turned into pothole filling. But enough about bloody-handed Giuliani.
This country needs Ron Paul NOW. As I said to my friend tonight, imagine his popularity once people realize he’s already taken legislative steps to abolish the Federal Income Tax!
