Final Republican Debate Sioux City

The Presidential Election is the Republicans to lose. The quickest way for the Republicans to lose this election is to cling to the Evangelical base and to verbally abuse each other. Actually the dirtier the Republicans play the worse their prospects. How can Christians refuse to redistribute wealth through taxes? For that matter how Christian is it to attack anyone?

Michelle Bachmann has had a very favorable recollection of her time in Congress. She has failed to remember her part in the down grade of America’s credit. With her numbers I am amazed she even showed up for the debate but running for the GOP nomination pays exceptionally well.

Rick Santorum was very good when he stated that American needed a president that believes in the American people.

Rick Perry hit Obama with the failure of the super committee.

Romney also mentioned his ability to work with both sides of the aisle. But Newt came back and trumped Romney’s experience.

The real question is who can actually beat Barack Obama. The answer is of course only Mitt Romney.

The complaints about bring the troops home comes across as poor losers. Barack Obama changed his mind about the war so it is not a stretch that the Republicans would do the exact same thing if they were President. A president leads by finding a path were there is none. They don’t have a terrible amount of choices and options that is what makes the job of the president so difficult.

Amazing Newt complained about Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae since Freddie Mac and Frannie Mae paid for Michelle Bachmann’s house. And yet Michelle Bachmann is so negative towards Newt. Ron Paul called the country, when referring to Newt, as fascism which is excessive from Ron Paul. Bachmann also was so negative when she accused Newt as an influence peddler when cashing his paychecks from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae when those very institutions paid for her home. How Christian is Michelle Bachmann to be so mean to Newt?

Iran….

Michelle Bachmann sits on intelligence and parades around as if she has absolutely no clue about anything going in Iran.

I love Israel as well but Iran is not a threat to Israel. I think it is kind of cruel of the Republicans to scare the Israelis.

But threatening to go to war with Iran is a threat to every single Americans' well being as it only translates into high oil prices globally. So enough with Iran we don't want to pay anymore for gasoline.

Government shut down…

Ron Paul was hopeful when he said he didn’t want to run the world.

I think Romney ran well and it will be a race between Mitt and Newt in which I believe Mitt will win.

Rick Perry had a bright moment when he came down on Congress who only worked five months last year and they never work on Fridays.

Subpoena/Impeaching Judges

Newt referred to the Federalists papers. Michelle Bachmann keeps referring to the Constitution which she so clearly hasn’t read.

It is kind of ridiculous to have either party with powers to impeach each others judges. It is just mor eof a power grab by the executive branch.

Summary

I think it was a pretty fair race with Romney coming out ahead. Romney seems to be able to appeal to Democrats. This debate was obviously geared towards Iowa. But I think that is a mistake since Iowa doesn’t determine the fate of the GOP nomination. If the GOP seeks to beat Obama they will have Romney as the candidate. If they are not they will have someone like Michelle Bachmann.

Thank goodness these debates are over. Now we will have to wait to see who wins the nomination.
