Anyone catch the debate tonight? I caught part of it while cooking dinner, and for the most part, no one answered the question asked of them; the moderator called them on them a decent amount. I also remember a lot of self-contradictory statements by people. Romney, when asked, complained about how 51% of American's don't pay a federal income tax, especially in a time of war, but then went on to say the middle class has been hit too hard and anyone under $200,000 a year shouldn't pay anything, but that's 97% of all Americans!
Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman were the best in my opinion, Herman Cain was reasonable at times. It seems like Ron Paul hints that he'd be willing to negotiate on things. He brought up we pay $20 billion a year for air conditioning in the Iraq, and that if we took that away, we could put $10 billion to domestic programs, and $10 billion to debt reduction (as well as the troops not wanting to be there as much). While the actual example has some faults, he could very easily have said no money to domestic programs, like health care, or social security.
