I haven't been paying much attention to the Republican debates and I certainly won't waste my time watching to them or listening to them. In my opinion, the rogues gallery of candidates is just a Nomination Abomination. For the most part, all of the candidates advocate the same failed policies which got us into this huge economic mess: tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, rewarding corporations for downsizing jobs and/or outsourcing jobs abroad, allowing Wall Street corporations and banks to keep bonuses meant to stimulate the economy, doing little or nothing to regulate polluters or abusive/predatory mortgages and foreclosures, making the canyon sized gulf between the haves and have-nots even larger, among many other things. And Mitt Romney (former governor of Massachusetts and who established practical mandatory Universal Health Care here) seems willing to say or do anything to try to become President. He is even advocating sending more troops to Afghanistan or Iraq. These entitled, out of touch elites dismiss the Occupy Wall Street movement as a bunch of spoiled brats or 'haters' of America, when the movement isn't that at all. Also, I hope American voters say Nein Nein Nein! (German for no no no) to pizza man Herman Cain's so- called "9-9-9" tax scheme. From what I heard about it, this scheme will only benefit the well-to-do and will hurt the average Joe and the poor with a 9% sales tax on everything you may want to buy. At least the hated Sarah Palin and the arrogant Newt Gingrich aren't running. (tbc?)
