Gop Debate

In this article I describe my personal views on what I am expecting to see or not to see in the remaining GOP debates after Nov 8th, 2011, so after the Herman Cain harassment claims have now come out, but before any resolution of them.

The most important questions are not always the most popular.

A new CNN poll reveals that Herman Cain and Mitt Romney are tied for the GOP nomination, as the next GOP debate begins on Tuesday night. Here are some concerns and questions I have going into the next debate.

Initial reactions to the first GOP debate in September 2011

Highlights from the New Hampshire GOP debate from Dartmouth College on Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011.

The New Hampshire 2012 GOP candidate debate focused on economics. All of the candidates agreed that Obamacare had to go, Herman Cain's 999 tax plan was blasted by all of the other candidates, and the mention of China sparked some contrasting debate.

Eight candidates exchanged ideas and challenges tonight as they continued their hopes to be the next president. Some important statements were made and directions were shown.

One person's veiw of the GOP Debates, they are an overcrowded, talk show. Not enough time to learn much about a candidate. So why not change the format to really get something decided.

Life in the U.S. has become too complex. We have a Federal tax code that is over 72,000 pages long. It’s so long that no one person can ever understand it all.

Voters have seen a lot of action from politicians over the last two days. Between the GOP debate and President Obama's job speech, a lot of information been presented to the public. So what is different about the 2012 presidential election now?

Is this a personal war between Rick Perry and Mitt Romney or should the focus shift to the real issues at hand? The GOP debate proved to be an interesting overview of the stance of the Republican Party.

Wednesday night's GOP presidential showdown was a typical debate where no real answers or solutions were presented.

Eight Republican candidates vying for limited time. Two of those candidates are fighting for the frontrunner position. This round went to the newcomer.

The GOP debate from California occurred Wednesday, with new candidate Rick Perry taking center stage. Here are three things I found notable, interesting and concerning about the GOP presidential hopefuls.

The White House has requested a Joint Session of Congress to hear President Barack Obama present his new jobs bill Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. Eastern. This coincides with a Republican presidential debate scheduled for the same night.

Three more rocks were added to Obama's sinking re-election ship during the GOP debate in New Hampshire. While Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann blew holes in Obama's economic hull, Ron Paul powerfully defined the patriotism that Obama lacks as a president.

GOP canidates call Obama and his administration out and talked about republican solutions. Romney, Huckabee, Trump, and Palin MIA.

The debate was gentlemanly, without any surprises, and without exciting rancor.

The first Florida debate of the year has happened, but what issues were truly addressed? Will the candidates soon bring clarity to the confusion that now plagues the party, or, are we going to keep hearing the same safe answers to the same safe questions?

They seem like such a good idea. Get the candidates together and debate their plans. However, that’s not what I see happening.

The debate also gave low-income Americans reasons to be worried.

Referring to the GOP audience that booed a gay service member, President Obama denounced the exact sort of invective that he refused to denounce when it came from Jimmy Hoffa.

Nine candidates vying for national attention in the confines of a two-hour debate made it difficult for voters to learn anything of substance from them. It did help voters see who should not be in the race.
