The Non-Debate

In case you weren't aware, the Republican Party trotted out their wannabe hero, their great grandfathers, their fence builder fanatics, etc tonight for a CNN/YouTube Debate that promises to break rating records everywhere.  Not really though.

They started the debate with a lengthy song about each candidate (seriously, this happened), then moved on the most critical issue facing the United States today: Iraq, our incomprehensible dependence on foreign oil, global warming, the unaffordable health care system, the unending war in Afghanistan.  I'm sorry, the Republicans solved all those problems during the six years in which they held majorities in both houses of Congress during the Bush Administration, and were able to focus the first fifth of the debate on what to do about undocumented workers and whether New York was a "sanctuary city" ten years ago.

I admit that I didn't watch the whole thing. But, since even the Bush Administration would consider that torture, I don't feel too bad about it.  I did watch long enough to enjoy what must have been the line of the night, provided by my fifth favorite fear monger, Tom Tancredo:

They are all trying to out-Tancredo, Tancredo. I love it!
