The GOP debate in South Carolina was not without it's fireworks. Course you know it's a Fox debate when, on a stage with a couple possible presidents the biggest douchebag is the moderator. Not saying that Chris Mathews or Katie Couric aren't massive douchebags, but Brit Hume. . . how bout some classic Brit Hume? Mitt Romney continued to prove he is not only a massive pussy, but also either a) a moron or b) a liar. And since we all know he is not a moron. . . Mr. Romney, who has put all his eggs into his daddy's basket, jumped on Senator McCain for his admission that the manufacturing jobs leaving Michigan and the rest of the Rust belt are not coming back. McCain is right, of course - he tends to be quite often. And Mitt Romney, who I am quite sure has a healthy grasp on international trade and David Ricardo, seems to jump at the chance to lie to voters that not only can he court the jobs back but that it would be a good thing. Which it wouldn't be. As a country, we shouldn't want those jobs. Let China and the other developing countries have them. It's the job of our politicians to make the transition to an even more efficient high-tech and service economy, and to provide a safety net and education to those who lose their jobs. The scary thing about this is Romney is a republican. For all the GOP's faults, and they are numerous, trade has always been an area where they could be truth brokers. The democrats have always had to pander to unions, so they find it convenient to circumvent the truth. Bill Clinton made some inroads in this area, but they are quickly being demolished by his wife, Edwards and Obama. I realize that politicians have to pander to a certain extent, but Romney's pathological pander-fests are so naueseating. . . I just want to wrap my hands around his neck and scream what the fuck would you lose for?
