Superficial Observations from 10 minutes of the GOP debate

Does anyone else think that Rudy Guiliani talks as if he has just OD'ed on about 100 cups of coffee? Maybe that's how they talk on his planet.

....

Grampa Fred is the only major political candidate who routinely and consistently states that he "has no opinion on" X. Case in point (for today) the GOP consumption tax proposal (a horrid idea). Every candidate except Fred has taken a position on it. But not Freddy. He just says, "I've got no opinion on that." How can the man be taken seriously when he has no knowledge or position on extremely relevant ideas?

....

Romney is trying his hardest but he just doesn't have a natural speaking bone in his body. When asked on CNN this morning to explain how he could allow a construction crew staffed with illegals to work on his house (5 years ago), he was irate but really struggled to just say the obvious. (Well gee John, was it really my responsibility to conduct background checks on all of the workers of the company that I contracted to do the work? I was Governor if you remember, not an INS agent.) I have a hard time seeing him winning anything.

....

Ron Paul is destined for a Howard Dean Moment. Too shrill, too happy to be there.

...

Tancredo is clearly apesh*t insane and should be institutionalized and/or sent back to Guiliani's planet. His answer to space exploration betrayed his intergalactic origins. (Of course, he doesn't want to send men to Mars, then people might find out he's the ORIGINAL illegal alien.)

...

Thompson is the best cure for insomnia ever.

...

Huckabee said, "Well blacks voted for me!"

...

McCain reminds me of an overpunched boxer in the 10th round who is just flailing wildly and striking nothing. It would be sad if he wasn't such a weasely flip-flopper.

...

Who the f*ck is Duncan Hunter and why the hell is he on the stage?

...

Huckabee frightens me. I've had enough Christianity in the White House to last a lifetime, thanks. His comment about sending Hillary to space was not only lame, but smacks of sexism. Not surprising from a white, southern bible thumper.

...

In general, a totally uninspiring field.
