The elephant in the room

At tonight’s youtube debate, the true colors of many of these clowns running for our nomination were revealed. Folks, it ain’t pretty.

 McCain wants to cut millions in “pork-barrel spending.” How about cutting the hundreds of billions we give in foreign aid? He also wants to “return more money to the states.” Here’s a thought: why not just leave it there to begin with?
Romney couldn’t give answers to half of the questions asked because his advisers hadn’t done a focus group regarding the audience at the debate. Lord knows how many advisers he’ll have as president - what with his advisers on torture, gays in the military, his lawyers to consult before using military force… He might just spend all those millions McCain has saved  from “pork-projects” on an army of advisers.
Huckabee wants to put the IRS out of business. Well that sounds nice. Oh, and he supports the FairTax. What isn’t mentioned about Huckleberry’s support of the FairTax is that he wants it to be “revenue neutral” - ie. government revenue remains the same. Of course, he’s  looking to put people on Mars and “significantly increase spending on science and the arts” so he couldn’t actually reduce taxes - or spending. 
You know the republican party is in bad shape when someone like Huckabee is competing for its nomination. 
The elephant in the room is spending on our middle eastern adventure. How do we pay for it - and send people to mars and increase spending on arts and sciences, and build border fences, etc, etc, etc? 
That’s all for now. More thoughts later.
