Republican debate thread

WTF is Brownback talking about with this alternative flat tax idea. Clearly people will choose whichever one minimizes their tax burden, right? It will be an all-or-nothing proposition, right?

Am I the only who feels like Chris Matthews and the other moderators are giving McCain and Giuliani carte blanche to take their time answering the questions, while demanding 'yes or no' answers or other short quips from the other candidates?

Maybe my perception is off, but it seems like that. It seemed like Matthews demanded yes/or no answers to the stem cell question from all of the other candidates down the line, then when he got McCain, allowed him to thank Nancy Reagan for 45 seconds, then gave him another 45 seconds to give his spiel about stem cells.

Romnney is also getting more time but i guess that is to be expected.

Giuliani brings up a good point: there will exist an incentive in 2010 to make sure you get your inheritance before December 31st.

Maybe you should worry more about the fact that 9 out of 10 are pro-war.

As iron pointed out earlier, this means that 7/10 probably just shot themselves in the foot for the GOP primaries.
