In reference to Newt​Gingrinch’s cemmont,​declaring that the purpose of​the debate was so that the​Republicans could display a​united front in attacking​Obama was nonsense.O.K., we​are already aware all the​participants are running​against Obama as President​because they do not agree with​his administration’s​policies. They are expected​to discuss their concerns​about President Obama’s​policies. Each of them has​discussed how they don’t​agree with his policies on​raising taxes on corporations​and millionaires. They have​all expressed their negative​opinion about his handling, or​ lack of handling, of the debt​crisis. Most of all, each of​them has expressed his or her​disagreement regarding his​healthcare and other social​policies, and his handling of​the economy.The problem is,​the purpose of the debate was​to distinguish who will be the​best single Republican​Presidential nominee among the​Republican candidates. How​can they do that displaying a​united front? Only one of​them can be chosen at the​Republican convention. Only​one of them can face President​Obama in November, 2012. How​can the public make that​distinction when they are only​discussing their similarities​about why President Obama​should not be re-elected. ​Regardless of the amount of​criticism he receives from​them, he is already the​Democratic Presidential​nominee, so he is already in​the Presidential Race.I want​to know from each of the eight​Republican Presidential​candidates , why should one of​them be chosen from among the​others? What makes one​candidate’s economic​policies more effective than​Rick Perry’s Mitt​Romney’s, or Michelle​Bachman’s? Maybe as​conservatives they do agree on​a lot of the same conservative​fundementals such as cutting​medicare and medicaid spending​or reducing taxes and the​government debt. However, the​public can only choose one of​them. In order for the public​to make an informed decision,​Republican candidates must​distinguish themselves from​each other.Former Speaker​Gingrinch seems to be deciding​what questions the media can​and can not ask. He has​decided topics such as​increasing taxes and mandated​healthcare are off limits.​However, most Republican​candidates have signed pledges​not to raise taxes and made​statements that if​elected,they will attempt to​repeal President Obama’s​healthcare mandate. To tell​the media that the candidates​should not have to account for​these statements which reflect​their fundamental political​beliefs, sounds totally​illogical to me.In order for​the public to make an informed​decision regarding which​candidate to choose, the​public must hold candidates​accountable to explain their​public cemmonts regarding​their fundamental political​beliefs.
