You assume the two parties are different when it comes to power?
Oh, we still come them debates? I thought they dispensed any facade of debate awhile ago, all they are is the equivalent of two hour long commercials for candidates. They have debates like Taco Bell has real meat.
Even still, I can guess how it went. "LOL Obama sux" while offering little-to-no solutions to the issues they bring up. That's how they usually go. I'm sure the Kleenex industry will love tonight, considering every rightwinger will be creaming themselves all over the Obama hate, probably more than enough to cause another baby boom.

Looks like the looney dip-shits showed up for this one to talk down the GOP. We expect you fakers to leave here as soon as you feel you've done enough damage.
There was plenty of that in the CNN coverage as expected.
They tried to act non-biased but little jabs kept coming out.
This morning they put Red "X"s over every important issue that the GOP runs on.
So CNN tried to act nice but they still showed me they have a dog in the race, and that dog is Barack Obama.

Why this was allowed to go to CNN is beyond me the format of this debate was an absolute joke and I have no doubt that it was meant to be just that.

Barack Obama's job creation ideas are totally wrong.
You don't create jobs by simply training workers.
What good is a trained worker if the government has removed the opportunity to work.
Obama's anti-business ideology is what has caused the shortage of jobs. The uncertainty his careless handling of the economy has created is a major roadblock to job growth.

why the hell would anyone want to be like California today?...

The Big Bad Wolf.
Actually..that a pretty fair assessment up until the anti-business crapola.
What President Obama should be doing..is training workers and targetting businesses that offshore labor.
He can start by pulling government 401k Accounts..and Government contracts from those corporations.

Watched it on youtube just now, here's some quick thoughts on my favorite parts:
- Liked Bachmann's complete evasion of the Dodd-Frank bill repeal and financial regulation question by going totally off-topic [not exactly] announcing her candidacy. Excellent maneuvering.
- Loved Pawlenty's response on his ridiculous 5% econ growth plan, the line went something like this: "This is a pessimist president, he believes America is one among equals in the world. America is not Portugal, America is not Argentina. If China can grow at 5%, if Brazil can grow at 5%, then America can too." This literally made me laugh out loud: the man obviously knows absolutely nothing about economics and hasn't the slightest clue of what he's talking about. But it was well played, it did not bother his base with facts or reason and appealed to their emotions. It was also hilarious when he started talking about "Fair Trade," that some countries "aren't playing by the rules." Anyone who knows anything about trade history would understand why that's so outrageously ironic, but it's probably lost on the audience.
- More Irony: Santorum on Manufacturing, particularly interesting hearin' him say stuff like "we must invest" or "we have to give tax credits for X," quite frankly I'm not sure what they're talking about: First of all, who's "we"? Second, how can you give anyone tax credits when if there supposedly won't be any taxes? Where is the money for this "investment" on anything coming from? A little confused about that. Pawlenty said something in a similar vein.
- Cain's funky moments: King asks "Should the federal government inspect food safety?" He says "Yes. but [PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DELVE FURTHER] I wanna talk about this previous question." He then went on to say this on the Medicare question later on "the situation we're in now is because the problem with these programs [Medicare, Medicaid] hadn't been solved, we can't rearrange anymore, we have to restructure." Hahaha, we cannot rearrange them, we must restructure it! This sums up his performance. He produced many words, but little meaning.
- Romney on Debt Limit: Absolute evasion. Biggest moment for him besides the shout-out to the Bruins.
The best performer of the night - John King. Kept everyone on the ball, would make interesting observational preambles to the questions, and would try to squeeze the specifics out of them [he mostly failed, but what are you gonna do?]. My hat off to him.
Overall a pretty boring affair. By far the winner of the boring award goes to Tim Pawlenty. This guy's just the most faceless puppet of the faceless puppets, he can barely pull off a "Romney Lite" sort of deal. He basically has no ideas of his own and nothing to propose: his one contribution, the 5% economic growth idea, is an outlandish pipe dream and everybody knows it.
Romney and Bachmann spent the majority of the time "debating" someone who wasn't even there (He Who Need Not Be Named), thereby avoiding giving any specifics on pretty much any possible topic. Don't think either of them gave a single figure the entire debate. As far as politics goes, this is always a plus. You never want to give specifics, you want people to write their specifics on your face.
Herman Cain's responses were pretty much hit-or-miss. He struggled to get the pandering right (he wasn't quite sure what people wanted to hear), babbling aimlessly about Muslims and Litmus tests and entitlement programs.
Ron Paul\s performance today was a little disappointing, more focused on economics and social issues than foreign policy and rights. Age's definitely catching up with him, seemed confused on some questions. Undoubtedly consistent with his free market beliefs though, as usual, telling the truth and laying out unpopular solutions. I disagree with his solutions to most of the things he talked about, but at least I know that he believes they are correct, instead of fumbling around on stage trying to guess what people want to hear.
Gingrich was his usual self. He is indeed a wellspring of ideas, not particularly good ones, but at least he did have ideas and some specific things to point to and to say. His problem is that, unlike most of his colleagues, he seems to understand what's going on, understand the issues, but not be very good on the pandering element.
Santorum's still a joke. But he held his own, from what I saw. Can't say I paid too much attention to him.

The ideas I heard are historically failed ideas.
That is what will keep any one of them from being president.
