Republican Debate

The candidates are trying (with the exception of Ron Paul) to top each-other on how big we should build our military. Giuliani makes the opening bid for another 300,000 troops. Romney seems to say that’s not enough. Here is a look at our military budget in relation to the rest of the world. These guys want to raise it higher. I’m just waiting for them to say which Asian country they plan to borrow from to pay for this madness. Paul made mention of a Wall Street Journal chart about gas and the dollar. Here it is.

    Ron Paul wins again. The rest of the candidates are not really concerned about the American people and what’s happening to them. Dr Paul is concerned and truthful in what he says, that is when they give him a chance!

    Amazing chart…certainly gives us a perspective on why the rest of the world sees us the way they do.

    The other Republican candidates besides Ron Paul look like frothing foam of the mouth blood lust war mongering fascists with pea brains.Even the immigration issue will not save them from losing to any no named Democrat.

    Unfortunately over 50% of our military spending is pure waste due to corruption and contract padding. Our current military should cost less than half of what we are paying. Our pentagon can’t account for over one trillion dollars. Where did the money go? Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will fix this outrage!

    Sorry to have missed Dr.Paul but I watched Batman while waiting for the Democrats…Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the Joker’s utter madness was preferable to the insanity of the mainstream Republican stance.

    I didn’t watch the debate to much, to busy partying. But I do have one thing to say, I am upset that the democrats pulled their names off of the ballot in the Michigan primary. Shows me who is really interested in the america public and a state that is falling on its face.

    I really hope Ron Paul wins the nomination. I know–long shot. But still.
