GOP Debates

I need to register to vote, now that we're living in Oklahoma again.

For whatever reason, I've caught parts of two (I think) Presidential debates for the Democrats. I've enjoyed watching those. There are folks I'm really pulling against and a couple I'm pretty open too. I really don't want to see Hillary become president. Barack is very interesting to me. He consistantly says things I'm feeling, but I am a bit wary that he is too good to be true. Joe Biden is someone I think would make a great president, but I doubt he'll get that far. Not enough flair. Probably too much quality actually. Sad to say.

Last night I was working, the TV was on, and the GOP debate came on. I must confess that I have heard some of various names on stage, but couldn't pick most of them out of a crowd. I hear that the front runners are Mit Romney and Rudi G.

I was captivated. Being a person who voted for Bush (dang that was hard to type) and someone who generally votes republican I have been thinking that the Dem debates are more important for me to watch, while the GOP candidates will likely voice opinions closer to my own.

Wow. I was wrong. I'll just say, that I have started hoping that Mit Romney will not become president. Rudi G. either. I found my jaw on the floor at most of Mit's answers. I couldn't believe someone could saw what he was saying. He looks a bit like a snake-oil salesmen to me, but I'm not just talking about looks. I'm talking about the quality of his answers and the values that support them.

Frankly I'm completely surprised by Rudi G's being in the running still. I don't think he's qualified and while he's more himself in front us, I'm not sure I want him being my president. Nope. He can't be the guy.

I found myself really liking Huckabee. I'm not sure about the Fair Tax, I need to research it more, but I love his responses. His plans in the past for schooling illegal immigrants kids was excellent and said that he didn't want to penalize children for the crimes their kids commit.
Mit didn't want to provide education for these kids. Huckabee's comment to Mit "We're a better country than that" was powerful.

Also. McCain did a great job yesterday. I voted for McCain years ago when he ran, but lost because he took shots at Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. (which I thought were appropriate actually) He really turned me off with his going to Falwell at the beginning of his campaign. It left me feeling icky. And I lost confidence in McCain. But yesterday, I liked what I heard.

His response about immigration was especially good I thought. He said something to the effect of "these are people who need love too".

The guy on the end of the stage looked lost. Like a character out of a SNL skit.

I don't talk politics very often here, thanks for bearing with me.
I have no idea what this means, but these are just some of my thoughts
