Maybe Perry just looks better because hes on the defensive. No one is asking him about what he'd do, its more about what he has done (both of those last talking points were incredibly reasonable to me) | ||

But what he's done isn't all that great either... Also. -10000 points to Ron Paul for saying bring in Austrian economics. -_- | ||

Makes you wonder what would happen if voting day was on a weekend... Anyways, Bachmann went down in flames, Paul lost major points on the terrorist question...Perry and Romney did very well for themselves, especially Perry's counterpoints and responses. | ||

So far Ron Paul seems like the only Republican I would vote for. I liked Perry's responses this debate, particularly regarding the illegal immigrants and tuition, but I still don't trust him and am not big on creationism. | ||

I mean, the same people that booed Ron Paul for saying American foreign policy over the past decades might have just a little to do with terrorist attacks are the same people that are going to vote. These people are my neighbors. Makes you wonder what would happen if voting day was on a weekend... I can't believe that it's even a conversation anymore. Candidates still get on stage and say "DURR THEY HATE US FOR OUR FREEDOM!" and they get applauded. The man telling the truth, that American foreign policy creates terrorists, gets boo'd. Somehow, people still can't grasp simple cause and effect, but I guess they don't like to be told the truth. It's been 10 years... | ||

My Fiance was diagnosed with cancer at 22. We absolutely lucked out because she worked for a school district and had health coverage. You know what one of those evil government jobs people rail against. Even with the so called free coverage after deductibles and co pays that Romney was trolling out, it was still thousands of dollars a month. I make good money but it was still nearly crippling to handle that burden. At that age group youre still looking at hundreds of dollars a month for health care coverage on a single plan and when you consider the average income for that age group, you'd be going without a lot of food just to not die of a catastrophic illness. You know what the worse part was? Having to live in fear not of dying from cancer but losing the insurance. District downsized three times during that period and we be up late at night not from the near crippling affects of radiation and chemo (all of during which she had to work to keep her insurance) but hoping she wouldn't be fired from no fault of her own. Yes I know she could still get cobra but in her situation it would have been several times what she had been making at that job just to get. Don't even get me started of the scares when the district changed health insurance suppliers.(Don't lecture me on insurance I'm more qualified than you to speak about it) She couldn't quit, because of fear of losing coverage and because most non-government employers would have waived her coverage from their plans by either their admission or request from their provider. Stuck in a job battling a disease from no fault of her own living in fear. That's apparently the american dream now, and you know what watching those sick sons of bitches cheer about a 30 year dying because he couldn't afford(justify) insurance, really ticked me off tonight more than I think anything has before. | ||

I'm not going to look at how the audience responded to the questions and responses, it was quite an unrepresentative Tea Party crowd wasn't it? | ||

Look, everyone knows someone who faced something like this. My wife's best friend, whom I love dearly, came down with a horrible disease and has required constant and expensive care for over a decade now. She'd be absolutely screwed if she didn't have healthcare coverage. I get it. It sucks. HOWEVER, to make sound national policy, you have to put the individual human aspect aside and think of what benefits the population as a whole. | ||
