Last night's CNN/Politico debate was unbearable! You can get the transcript here.
Anderson's constant interruptions was unprofessional. Ignoring Paul and Huckabee made it uncomfortable to watch. AND the "timetable" bickering between RomCain was flat out embarrassing.
MY WINNER: Romney/Huckabee:
Romney won last night. I thought it was a commanding victory, but then I talked to the wifey. Evan as a lib, she was impressed by Huckabee and his believability. I realized in actuality that Romney only beat McCain, and those two beat themselves. So Huckabee was a clear winner as well.
McCain and Anderson Cooper were the losers. Paul should've taken one of the long bathroom breaks we use when we want to get out of class.
CNN felt so bad about ignoring Paul, that they gave him nearly 7 minutes of air time immediately after the debate. You can watch the interview here.
McNasty: I don't know if I can put up with this John McCain for another 9 or 10 months. I've always liked him, but this shot at Romney was unnecessary. His constant references to Jack Kemp and saying "Reagan footsoldier" is dull and ridiculous.
Note to McCain, NOONE CARES THAT JACK KEMP LIKES YOU.
We do however have a new drinking game for debates and interviews:
Every time McCain says "foot soldier," you take a swig of beer;
Every time he says "foot soldier in the Reagan army," you chug your beer;
Every time he says "I'm proud of my record," you take your shirt off, give two fist pumps, and yell "I'm proud of mine!";
AND When and if he says "that's why people like Phil Gramm, Tom Coburn, Warren Rudman and Jack Kemp are supporting me," take a shot of whiskey.
Not only does this game make a debate and an interview less repititious and more bearable, but its aftermath will leave you with a soon familiar feeling...Shirtless, Drunk, and Dissatisfied with your candidate.
Sandra Matt O'Connor
We now know why Brother Matt doesn't like RP. I think Paul's quote was "I wouldn't have appointed her, because I would have looked for somebody that I would have seen as a much stricter constitutionalist."
ZING...Huckabee's answer was good. The rest of the candidates either copied Huckabee's or waffled. On a side note, Huckabee's answer sounded like a conservative-Ginsburg approach to abortion, a la declaring equal protection for the unborn.
Arnold:
In other news, Arnold is supporting McCain, which is somewhat perplexing. You could clearly see the Terminator shaking his head in agreement with a lot of what Huckabee was saying, especially concerning the 10th Amendment.
1 comment:
I, too, am becoming increasignly frustrated with McCain. I don't like his behavior and I don't like what I continue to read -- and suspected for some time -- about him being untrue to conservative principles. He never has, and now he is making what we all now is his "last stand" for the Presidency, a position he has coveted for at least a decade. His potshots are cheap, his contradicts himself backwards and forwards, and I am sick of him accusing Romney of having to force people to lose their jobs because Romney was a business man. Personally, with a federal government in which it is nearly impossible to fire someone, and where the government represents the largest union employer in the country, I don't think I want someone complaining like that running the country.
Anyone see Hannity & Colmes last night? Ann Coulter was on and she was saying she would vote for Billary before McSwitcharoo: http://www.newshounds.us/2008/02/01/ann_coulter_endorses_hillary_clinton_over_john_mccain.php.
