I'm not sure how it happened, but we ended up watching half the Republican debate and the entire Democrat debate. What is more suprprising than my actual willingness to watch approximately 2 hrs of political debates is that I found it quite entertaining! Not necessarily because of the the dodgy answers EVERYONE was giving to almost EVERY question, but thanks to the unexpected comments that I just didn't think any of these politicians would say, at least in public!
Here are my favorites (with RJG's thoughts):
"If Musharaf does not cooperate with the U.S. in searching for Bin Laden in Pakistan, I would ask him to step down [from his position as President]."
-paraphrase of Bill Richardson (D), when asked what he would do if Pakistan refuses to assist in the search for Al Quaida and Bin Laden in his country.
RJG says: Good luck with that one! I'm sure he'll be happy to step down from his dictatorship!
"We don't agree on much, but I do agree with you on one thing. You are definitely the candidate of change!"
-a condescending comment by John McCain (R) to Mitt Romney (R).
RJG says: Ok, John, so you don't like Mitt. But what are you actually implying here??
"That hurts my feelings....but I'm sure I can get over it."
-Hilary Clinton (D), after being asked why people do not find her likeable.
RJG: For a minute there, I thought she may actually have feelings...my bad!
"You're likeable enough."
-Barack Obama (D), in response to Hilary Clinton suggesting/asking that she's "not that bad".
RJG says: OUCH!
"I suggest changes, Senator Obama suggests changes, but the 'status quo' won't let things change."
-paraphrasing John Edwards in his not-so-subtle critique of Hilary Clinton, aka the "Status Quo".
RJG says: Stop talking in code words...it's not like people don't know how much you dislike her!
All these comments, and just think, the primaries are just beginning! I can't wait to hear what comes out of their mouths when the REAL election happens!!
