For the most part I considered the debate on Monday a flop. The liberal moderators kept hitting the candidates with assinine, loaded questions and most of them struggled, trying to form a plausible answer.
A couple clear exceptions to the rule were Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain.. they were prepared and were smart enough to spin the question back at the questioner, all the while scoring points.. The rest wioll have to learn the fine art of deflection and reformation of the question. here is some of Newt's brilliance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8zmJUhHK850 Newt also said on his first day as president, he would fire all 32 of Obama's czars. He also said the 12 man congressional comission appointed to take the decision making from the 500 odd congress members, is "the stupidest idea I ever heard of "..
Stands to reason..there is a REASON why people elected over 500 representatives !
herman Cain said he would overhaul the EPA..and appoint in their place those who have been abused by the EPA...
Let's have a little balance !
