The GOP debate on ABC: A Tale of Exhaustion

For those of you who were not able to catch the recent GOP debate on ABC Saturday night, this is what you missed: A bunch of rich white people accusing each other on not being a "true conservative". Frankly, it's exhausting. Barack Obama will win the presidency again, not because he's done a particularly good job, but because the GOP literally has nothing better to offer. But let's dissect all the high flying action that went down, shall we? The two candidates with the targets on their backs at this debate were Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. It seemed as if the main goals for the other 4 candidates was simply to try to bring down those two.  Ron Paul called Gingrich out on the $1.8 billion he had received from Freddie Mac, the government sponsored mortgage lender, the result of consulting work he had done for them. Michele Bachmann referred to Gingrich and Romney as "Newt Romney", accusing both of them for being in favor of the so-called "Obamacare" health care plan. Pretty much every candidate railed on Gingrich about his extramarital rendezvous. This debate could be easily likened to a monkey cage: a bunch of beings with low IQ slinging s**t at each other. The candidates seemed more concerned with bad mouthing their rivals than talking about, say, their policies. Seriously, the most in-depth any candidate seemed bothered to discuss about their specific policies was that they would create jobs and not raise taxes. That's it. That's the most specific they were bothered to get. Hardly did they mention HOW their policies would work, just that they WOULD work. Actions speak louder than words, and, unfortunately for Republicans everywhere, words are all this batch of candidates has to offer. Dickstein, out.
