CNBC Pro Union Republican Debate Synopsis
Let me ask Senator McCain, you know, when a lot of us grew up, in the late ’50s and early ’60s, a young guy could come out of high school, marry his girlfriend from school, get a job at a big industrial plant making planes or making subways, and provide for a family with a middle-class income and his spouse wouldn’t have to work.
Uh, weird.
On to the debate!
Sam Brownback: Hey you kids, this place rocks! My mom was a postal union member. Keep my mother out of this.
Rudy Giuliani: I was in New York on 911. What? Hillary isn’t here? 9/11, free market, 9/11, free market, 9/11, Joe Torrey.
Mike Huckabee: We’ve got to understand that the people want us to understand that we need to understand that we don’t understand them. And if we don’t demonstrated to them that we finally understand that, we are going to get our britches beat next year. I don’t trust the government. I don’t trust the private companies. I trust me.
Duncan Hunter: Never mind the Mexicans and Islamofascists, its the Chinese we have to watch out for!
John McCain: An politico-economic system in which Wall Street executives are making millions of dollars every year and paying tax rates of 15 percent, while the average guy out there is paying 30 percent in taxes is absolutely fair. There’s a little straight talk for you. I’m a student of history and the seventh dwarf (grumpy).
Mitt Romney: I’m from Michigan. I know Michigan. This debate is in Michigan. Oh yeah, Hillary Care! I can’t wait to debate Hillary.
Ron Paul: Open the Constitution and read it! Learn to live within your means! This war is a disaster! Giuliani needs a geography lesson. Why isn’t anyone paying attention to me?
Tom Tancredo: Its always the Mexicans but I’m happy to jump on the Chinese gravy train with Mr. Hunter. Oh, and stop pandering, that is unless you want to talk about Mexicans. Unions are good until they influence public policy. Only corporations should do that.
Fred Thompson: I look and sound like I know what I’m talking about, but all that stuff I said about how its been proven that low taxes grow the economy and indexing Social Security to inflation is worth about as much as the small pile of manure parked under the red truck I drive. Wait. Let me count out something on my fingers for emphasis. Oh, and I can out Islamofacist fear monger Giuliani any day.

Ahh, the emptiness off the Right on full display. My only hope for the R’s is that Ron Paul sticks around to embarrass the other candidates all the way through the primary season. Who wants to bet that when he won’t get invited to the Great Bushie Lovefest in Minneapolis next summer, either he crashes the party anyway, or bolts to run a third-party candidacy?
Either way it means a D in the White House, with a majority in both houses. I plan on enjoying that with a vengeance.
I’m actually becoming less sure of that ( a Dem in the White House). If Romney can beat Giuliani, there is trouble ahead because I think Romney will begin pandering less to the far right. He’s pretty presidential.
I think it’s horrible that our caucus has been moved up. Look who we voted in for gov’nah. alberto Gonzales could get elected in this state.
Romney is so plastic, I could pay for my groceries at WinCo with him. He’s as presidential as a head of lettuce. It’d be like having Pat Sajak as President. And Rudito Mussoweenie…….er, Giuliani, is nothing less than a vest-pocket Hitler waiting to happen.
In so many words, the WORST Democratic candidate is better than the best the Rethuglicans can come up with. The only question left is whehter or not the D’s can succesfully counter the R’s smear-and-scare tactics.
I’m sure Giuliani has a plan to kill millions of people just waiting to be implemented. Myrna’s comment shows (finally) a real honest look at the situation. It’s easy to sit here and think that the Dems have a cakewalk, but there are some things to seriously consider. First, the country is still very closely split down the middle in party. People in general still don’t pay as much attention as those reading blogs. Romney has a large (and growing) demographic that will probably vote for him in the 90% range no matter the state. For God’s sake, he was a Republican governor in Massachusetts. If he wins the nomination, the Dems will have a very real fight on their hands. To dismiss that is to not be paying enough attention.
I can dismiss the R’s real easy. Think about it: no matter who wins the D’s nomination, their campaign strategy is three words:
GEORGE
W.
BUSH.
Tie the R candidate, and the R’s in general, to one of the worst leaders in recorded human history. And the Shrub will drag the R’s down like a big lead anchor.
My prediction: Dems winning the White House, with a very real possibility of gaining the seats needed to achieve 60-percent supermajorities in both chambers of Congress, and a Shrub fleeing into exile to avoid trial as a war criminal and war profiteer.
