GOP Debates

GOP Debates Well, I finally decided to follow the GOP debates for once. A friend of mine reminded me that they were going to be on, and I actually sat down to watch them. It didn't hurt that I watched them online, streaming from Faux News. There were only two candidates that really stood out, in my opinion, and those were Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. Interestingly enough, those just happen to be the two candidates that I and my mom support, respectively. The rest of the debate was mainly Guiliani, Romney, McCain, and Thompson entangled in a cat fight between the lot of them. It really was kind of pathetic, and they always managed to squeeze in how they are all "conservatives" and how they "respect" each other. It was quite pathetic, and I really couldn't get behind anything the four of them said. They all tried to justify bs, and they were all trying to pull some shit out of their asses saying that we need to preserve "marriage" as being between man and a woman for our 's sake. Right, because homosexuals and bisexuals are COMPLETELY incapable of raising . I mean, they're not human, right? How could they POSSIBLY know how to raise a ? Oh, wait… Ron Paul got the most boos out of everybody else there. It was quite sickening. I mean, he was just being honest about how 70% of America wants our war in Iraq to end. He got boos from that, even though it's clearly statistically correct. Just because they didn't want to hear it, they were booing the man. The truth hurts, I know. He was also booed for pointing out that previous presidents have ran against being invasive in foreign policy. He mentioned that even Bush supported staying out of international affairs, and that's the way the party needs to go back to. The truth yet again? Boos for the truth? Yup, that's the Repugnant Party for you (not that the Democraps are any better). I'm not going to go through everything that everybody was talking about. Truthfully, I only paid attention to a quarter of the debate because most of it was just stupid bullshit between the four front-runners. I tried to listen to them, but it was just so… pointless and arrogant and off in a stupid direction for America. As I said, the only two that were any impressive were Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee; the candidates that actually want change, and not just votes (though, they do, else they wouldn't be running). One thing that I found hilarious was how the candidates (read: front-runners) were milking the audience for applauses by mentioning "Hillary" and "Hillary-care". Some of it was relevant, but for the most part it was just pointless to bring up. They were just trying to get positive reactions from the people for being against Hillary. Well, no shit. Every other candidate besides Hillary, herself, is running against Hillary. Let's try to focus on the issues, shall we As far as the "winner" of the debate, hands down it was Ron Paul. That's not just me talking, either. Out of the text message votes that the candidates received, Ron Paul received 34%, Mike Huckabee received 25%, and the next was one of the idiot front-runners, Rudy Guiliani. I'll admit that most of the people who know how to text message aren't exactly the older generation, who probably would have sided more with Guiliani and the front-runners, but still… 34% is pretty impressive when there were 7 or more candidates debating, and he received over 1/3? That's a decisive victory. In conclusion, Republicans suck complete ass, and Democrats are just that much worse. Vote Ron Paul or vote Libertarian. Either way, you're going with a viewpoint that's right for America and WILL bring about the change that's needed. Neither the Republicans or Democrats can do what a Libertarian could do, and that's promote respect and compassion WITHOUT the invasiveness of an overbearing and tyrannical government. |
