More pandering, pandering, pandering (R debate)

Got through most of it. Some was a pretty good insight on (R) agendas, such as they are. And the infighting was enlightening for a while. But it got to be too much.

Blatant and base pandering to some perceived group of voters. This round was Florida. Yeah, politics are politics and basically local. But geez - it's a national election, as many of the (R) want-to-be candidates proclaim.

My suggestion - talk to the big picture if you want to make a case. It ain't easy or simplistic. Ask President Obama. He's got some experience in the process and how it goes in real time, not media time.
