The Great Debate That Wasn't So Great

Like many Americans, I watched the Republican debate last night. I have to tell you I was somewhat disappointed with the debate in general.I thought for a moment there, that Governor  Mitt Romney  and Governor Rick Perry were going to have a knock down drag out fight right there on the stage! I know nobody wants to be considered a wimp in a debate but by the same token, if you loose your composure in the debate trust me, that's when your loosing the debate. I wanted the candidates to stick to the issues and lay out their plans for dealing with the nations economy, our national debt, and illegal immigration. I would submit to you, that the debate sounded more like a bunch of children all fighting over the same  thing. I felt more like I was watching the Jerry Springer show! I kept asking my self is this how your going to talk to leaders of other countries?Is this the calm composure your going to use when your facing a national security crisis? I certainly hope not.
  Look, I understand that in a vigorous debate,  you have to stand and deliver and thus,  defend your position. Well,  they  all stood alright,  I'm  just not at all sure,  they delivered. When I watched the debate last night,  I think I finally, understood,  why some republicans,  are looking for another choice for President. I hope the next debate will stick a lot closer to the issues, and that more solutions to the nations problems will be discussed. I don't watch debates just to see who had the best gotcha line! As always, my friend, these words remain, just some words to think on.
