I watched the CNN Republican debate tonight. The YouTube format makes for painful, but entertaining television…it’s especially useful for breaking up the monotony of the rhetoric. Here are my immediate reactions:
Tom Tancredo: Hands down the most illegitimate candidate. Also, if anyone knows his nephew…let him know he owes our neighbor a new chair (further details available upon request)!
Ron Paul: Hands down the most intelligent candidates—agree with him or not. I won’t vote for him, but I would support a requirement that all politicians complete a course by Paul before taking office. It would have to be pass/fail though; otherwise, we would have trouble filling ballots.
Duncan Hunter: I bet other congressmen steal Duncan Hunter’s lunch money. Please dropout of the race. Please!!!
Rudy Guiliani: Easily the least socially conservative Republican candidate…but that’s not the worst indictment ever. Oh, and did you know Rudy reduced crime in NYC?!?! Enough already.
John McCain: Some people love McCain…everyone else hates him.
Mitt Romney: Most likely to have been a used car salesman in a previous life. Mitt took a beating from McCain and Rudy in the debate. He made a bold move in trying to position himself as the most conservative candidate and now is forced to defend some extreme-right views while others are effectively calling his bluff. Huh, a flip-flop candidate from Massachusetts…good luck with that.
Mike Huckabee: Probably (definitely) the most principled candidate, but he adheres to no strict political principles. A Huckabee administration would be very unpredictable.
Fred Thompson: Yawn.
I can’t believe these are real people and they are leading our country. Don Boudreaux describes it best.
