Economics debate
Unbelievable! This is definitely the debate everyone should see!
I’m only a part of the way through and I’ve been skipping through it and I’ve heard the most incredible things already. I’ll have more detail and exact quotes later, but so far I’ve heard McCain actually suggest that Ron should read The Wealth of Nations! Yet quite clearly McCain has never read it, nor any of the economic theory that sprang from it. (Or, if he did, he didn’t understand it. Kinda like Otto in A Fish Called Wanda:
Otto: Apes don’t read philosophy!
Wanda: Yes, they do Otto. They just don’t understand it.
Allow me to correct a few things things for you:
Aristotle was not Belgian.
The central message of Buddhism is not every man for himself.
The London Underground is not a political movement.
Those are all mistakes.)
Then, you had Romney saying he wouldn’t consult congress before he went to war, he’d ask his lawyers. And Ron rightly lays the smack down on the whole group on the issue. Directly following this, Mike Huckabee clearly states that if he asked congress to go to war and they said no, then he’d do it anyway.
That’s without even getting into the exchange between Romney and Rudy that was so surreal I thought I’d stepped into the twilight zone. I mean really, listening to two fakes arguing over who is better at re-interpreting their past to fit their new conservative persona is just bizarre. This must be what it feels like to be on mind-altering drugs.
