And the winner is---

Well, for once the debates got rather heated, and I was so proud of the candidates acting like 5th grade schoolboys at recess. After I wrote down all the half-truths, lies, and contradicting their own statements, I had almost 2 pages of info that was wrong. And the second hour hadn't started. Immigration, taxes, foreign policy, government departments, the military budget, and even their own backgrounds was lied about by the candidate themselves ( Yes, Santorum, you lost the Senate seat.). And for those who were happy to hear the audience boo at the statements about LDS (Mormons) being a cult, remember that Nevada has a large LDS population, so that was no bonus point for audience. They still applauded every sound bite that restricted rights and restricted government oversight. So in my mind, there was only 1 winner in the debate last night, well 2 actually. The first one is Jon Huntsman, who by not showing up was missed by those that wanted the truth to be uttered. And the 2nd winner was all those that didn't watch. After all, who wants to watch a bunch of schoolboys during recess yell at each other.
