After watching the Republican debate, a few thoughts…
5. This is the party of has beens, only two of the seven candidates on stage are currently in government, and it’s laughing stock candidates Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann
4. John Huntsman should save his money and not run. When Republicans say they want more variety in the field, they don’t mean a Romney clone.
3. Tim Pawlenty should be asked every question first, because he’s the Paula Abdul of this field, just mimicking whatever Randy says. If a moderate like Pawlenty has to lie constantly about his opinions to win the nomination, maybe the nomination isn’t worth winning…hell, maybe he’s in the wrong party.
2. This field needs Sarah Palin. We all know Republicans have bad ideas but this crop of jokes commits the worst sin of all: being boring.
1. Asshole of the Week: ALL of them for repeating the bold faced lie that the recession and mortgage bubble was created by congress’s “micro managing” when EVERY respectable economist in the country would tell you it was the exact opposite of congress ignoring mass fraud.
