So I watched the first real, Republican debate tonight, it was rather enjoyable, it also was funny, I loved ALL the joke questions, all were very funny.
I agree with Cain DEEP DISH ALL THE WAY! anyway, back to larger matters, one of the things I would like to note this, I found this odd, that Michele Bachmann would admit this after saying it is a "vital classified secrets."
"BACHMANN: First of all, we were not attacked. We were not threatened with attack. There was no vital national interest. I sit on the House Select Committee on Intelligence. We deal with the nation’s vital classified secrets.
We to this day don’t yet know who the rebel forces are that we’re helping."
Anyway, let me brake down the debate, into 5 areas.
Who Lost.
Best One liner.
Biggest Gaffe.
Worst Lie.
Who Won. (best for last)
Who lost.
In my book, the person who lost/made the biggest fool of himself was Tim Pawlenty, he hit around the bush on many topics, but really made a fool of himself in a few, namely this jewel.
"The first duty of the president of the United States, as the leader of this nation and commander in chief, is to make sure the nation is safe. You bet. If there are individuals I have intelligence on, or groups in Yemen that present a threat to our security interests in that region or the United States of America, you can bet they will hear from me and we’ll continue the bombings."
So basically, he is willing to commit an act of war, anywhere to get a terrorist ? he would bomb SOVEREIGN nation, that is an act of war in my book, what would happen if Mexico started Bombing TX/AZ/NM to get at the Drug Cartels ??? He also gave the worst dodge of the night, and his lack of attacking Romney the front runner. Which leads us into the next area.
Best Quote.
Tim, just hit around the bush, and avoided the question hard, and the best quote from Mitt, "Why didn’t you give me a call and ask what worked and what didn’t? And I would have told you, Mr. President, that what you’re doing will not work."
I also loved Tim with this.
"KING: Governor Pawlenty, I want you to take that one first.
PAWLENTY: Well, the protections between the separation of church and state were designed to protect people of faith from government, not government from people of faith. This is a country that in our founding documents says we’re a nation that’s founded under God, and the privileges and blessings at that we have are from our creator. They’re not from our member of Congress. They’re not from our county commissioner.
And 39 of the 50 states have in the very early phrases of their constitutions language like Minnesota has in its preamble. It says this, “We the people of Minnesota, grateful to God for our civil and religious liberties,” and so the Founding Fathers understood that the blessings that we have as a nation come from our creator and we should stop and say thanks and express gratitude for that. I embrace that."
Biggest Gaffe.
Romney also had the biggest Gaffe.
"It’s time for us to bring our troops home as soon as we possibly can, consistent with the word that comes to our generals that we can hand the country over to the Taliban military in a way that they’re able to defend themselves. Excuse me, the Afghan military to defend themselves from the Taliban. That’s an important distinction."
The recovery was expeditiously, and made everyone laugh.
Worst Lie.
The winner of this, is Herman Cain. On the Glenn Beck show a few days ago, Herman Cain said he would require proof from Muslims they were loyal to America before they work for the United States government. Here is a transcript of the conversation:
"BECK: So wait a minute, are you saying that Muslims have to prove, there has to be a loyalty proof?(looking shocked)
CAIN: Yes, to the Constitution of the United States of America.
BECK: Well, would you do that to a Catholic or a Mormon?
CAIN: No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't because there is a greater dangerous part of the Muslim faith than there is in these other religions."
Remember this, as we watch this clip.
"KING: So, on that point, Governor Romney let me come to you on this.
What Mr. Cain is saying that he would have — my term, not his — a purity test or a loyalty test. He would want to ask a Muslim a few question or a few questions before he hired them, but he wouldn’t ask those questions of a Christian or Jew.
CAIN: No True. Sorry. No, you are restating something I did not say."
Yes turns to NO ?
The Winner.
Mitt Romney hands down, he ripped Obama all night, no one DARED to throw stones at him, he supported Israel, and overall won, article going in, were wondering how bad the assault on Romney would be, but it turned out, they decied to unload on Obama, and not Romney.

He is one of Romney finest moments of the debate.
