The Republican Love Fest


I was watching the republican debate hosted in New Hampshire two nights ago on CNN, and it seemed more like a love fest than a political debate. It began with congress woman Michelle Bachmann announcing that she had officially filed her paper work that day to run for president. Everyone cheered. I didn't get it. Am I the only one missing something here? Like the comedian Stephen Colbert said, "It's like going to a wedding and having the bride and groom announce that they filed for a marriage certificate."

When asked by the moderator, Tim Pawlenty looked like a coward when he failed to say to Mitt Romney's face a comment he had made the day before on fox news calling the medicare law passed by President Obama "Obamney Care." It was a little uncomfortable to watch. The seven candidates on the stage barely looked at each other for the entirely two hours. They were less interested in debating each other and more interested in yelling who hates Obama the most.
