I am commenting on the NH Democratic debates, so I have nothing profound to say.
Hillary Clinton claimed that everyone in the Republican debates supports Bush's war in Iraq. Ron Paul voted against the original authorization to use force and has been critical of it ever since. Is she ignorant, lying, or just forgetful?
Mike Gravel said he would do nothing about rising gas prices. That almost makes him sound like a free-market supporter.
Others candidates suggested that they would reducing subsidies to oil companies to lower gas prices. They need an economics lesson. You get more of something if you subsidize it. Subsidizing oil companies results in more oil products. More oil products results in lower prices. Reducing subsidizies will raise prices.
At first look, John Edwards' saying that Barack Obama being right, himelf being wrong, was impressive. Later it seemed disingenuous.
