Let me see! Let me see!

Okay, all my flameheads out there. Yesterday, I almost missed a debate. I usually try to stay on top of these things, but this one slipped my mind. It could have possibly had something to do with the crazy things that had just gone on during the week. Oh well, I almost missed it, but I am glad I didn't. Yesterday morning ABC's Republican debate led to some astounding actions taken by ABC and their writers. Some know that I am a supporter of Ron Paul. I watch carefully how the other candidates respond to him. Usually Rudy Giuliani is the guy who likes to take stabs at Dr. Paul, but yesterday Romney got the tag from Giuliani and stepped up to try. Giuliani obviously has backed down from trying to attack Dr. Paul's stance on certain issues since being assigned some reading on foreign policy by Dr. Paul. No, no, no... Yesterday, it was Romney's shot to knock over the steadfast Paul.
The bout started with Dr. Paul being asked what he would do about Iraq if he was elected President. Ron Paul, without thinking, said that he would bring the troops home immediately. He started to state how we were there illegally and that we shouldn't have even went there in the first place. "They never did anything to us," Paul said. Romney almost chuckling by now turned to Giuliani and asked, "Has he forgotten about September 11th?" No, Mitt. It is you who never understood September 11th in the first place. Many of the hijackers of 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. Not one hijacker was from Iraq. The group that these hijackers were affiliated with (al Qaeda) was not allowed in Iraq. Saddam Hussein despised them. Why did we attack Iraq, Mitt? Oh, that's right... those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Where'd those go, Mitt? What about those mobile weapons factories? Where'd those go, Mitt? What about those parts to make a nuclear weapon? What happened to those, Mitt? If you are elected President, I challenge you to find that stuff. As for Dr. Paul, he knows the real reason we attacked Iraq for and that is oil and the fact that Hussein tried to kill Bush's daddy.
Ron Paul voted to attack Afghanistan. Since we were there with a goal and real evidence to back up that goal. Hunt down Osama bin Laden. We did hunt down Osama and cornered him in the mountains on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, but were told to let him go by our own government. Why is that, Mitt? Why did we let Osama go? Maybe it's because the bin Ladens and the Bushes are friends. Osama and little George are practically pen pals.
Hey, Mitt! What about the country's financial problems? What do you plan to do about the privately owned foreign Federal Reserve? They make a bundle in profits off the people of America every year. Here's the real shocker, Mitt. They publish their profits for the world to see. It's called the National Debt. That is the amount that the US Government has had to borrow from the private cartel (aka the Federal Reserve) with interest!
After the little snicker and remark from Romney at the debate, I went to vote on the ABCNews website for who I think won the debate. I found that Ron Paul had 56% of the vote out of nine candidates and two other options (I am voting democrat, and I am waiting until Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich enters). Dr. Paul had over 1,200 votes while Mitt had 80 something and Giuliani had about as much. After one full day of voting, Ron Paul currently has 34,209 out of 53,735 total. Romney has 4,264 and Giuliani 3,100. This afternoon, I see that an ABC writer had written an article on their website declaring Mitt Romney the winner of the debate by the poll on their website. What?!? How can Romney be the winner with 8% of the votes and Dr. Paul not with 64%? ABC needs to stop playing to their bias views and report the news truthfully and not as they see it. Come on, ABC, declare the true winner of YOUR poll! Let me see it! Ron Paul 2008!
