Battle of the Crazies, Part 3

There were no winners in tonight's GOP Presidential debate. The losers are much easier to identify...the American people! We are being denied all manner of reason and, frankly, sanity in the debate underway among the GOP Presidential candidates.

My America does not round up Doctors and charge them with a crime for performing a LEGAL procedure, yet Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachmann would do just that!

My America does not systematically reverse every regulation achieved over the last 20 years to protect consumers. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul advocate precisely that.

My America demands honest accountability for a politician's record in office. Tim Pawlenty's recollection is spray tainted and Romney's is pure fantasy.

My America respects all faiths. Herman Cain is so profoundly ignorant of any but his own, I fear for free expression under the First Amendment.

My America is acutely aware of the economic challenges we face. We have an unsustainable debt, entitlement programs to reform, not enough jobs, corporations sitting on mountains of cash, and a fortunate few reaping enormous benefit from a tax code that's left the backbone of America in ruins.

All 8 candidates were asked tonight, if given a 10 to 1 ratio of spending reductions and revenue raisers to begin addressing these challenges, is this something you could support? The sound of silence was deafening, as NOT ONE would!

Until the Grand Ole Party is willing, or even able, to field a Candidate who can acknowledge anything beyond tax cuts, spending cuts and destruction of programs and services supported by the masses, I can only conclude the party is sold on carnival barkers who appeal to equally deluded gawkers.

My America is not a Circus!
