Not much new came up in last night’s debate, but with the mood in the room being similar to that of a funeral service, it is hardly any wonder. Perhaps the candidates are wearing down from their hectic schedules or perhaps the moderators just stunk. Either way, very little by way of excitement or revelation came out of the debate.
It should be noted that part of the problem was that the audience had been instructed not to react. They were not allowed to cheer, clap or boo. Though there wasn’t much to get excited about coming from the candidates or moderators, the audience silence provided a deafening addition of boredom to the event.
A few things bear repeating, though, for those folks who missed it or have been feeling deluged by both information and misinformation during this process.
Ron Paul previously stated that we should not have fought Hitler. During the debate he said we should be in talks and trading with Cuba. Isn’t that akin to saying don’t protect the innocent but do make a deal with the devil?
Both Gingrich and Romney stated clearly that they support portions of the Dream Act, with Romney also almost immediately flip-flopping all over the place on it, perhaps after he realized that he said he supported it out loud.
Santorum, by contrast, very clearly stated what I have been saying and what the other three on the stage fail to understand. He said that in order to be here, illegals not only commit the first act of breaking the law by illegal entry, but violate that same law every day they are here, plus break other laws in order to be here, daily, such as stealing identities, lying on paperwork, etc. Rewarding them for breaking laws on a daily basis is wrong.
There were a number of instances in which the moderators completely took things out of context in phrasing their questions to the candidates, obviously looking for some ‘gotcha’ moments. They failed miserably and were quickly called on it by each of the candidates. I thought the moderators were experienced journalists? Oh wait, they are lamesteam media-that explains their lack of concern for facts.
It will be interesting to see how Floridians vote after this snoozer of a debate. Were they counting the number of references candidates made to Florida during the debate? I wasn’t counting, but it seemed to be a higher number than occurred in other debate states. What is it that will sway Floridians or will be considered a ‘win’ for any of the four that were on the stage?
If you were able to stay conscious for the entire debate, what, if anything, stood out for you?
