I‘m half-checked out of this thing as we move into the domestic policy portion of the debate, though it is lively with Dr. Paul placing the blame for all this country’s ills on how much money we print. Still, I think the line of the night (so far) came when Thompson called Romney out on his bizarre admission that he “likes” mandates:
Romney: I like mandates. Thompson: Beg your pardon? I didn’t think you were going to admit that. Romney: Let me tell you what kind of mandates I like. Fred: The ones you come up with.
Still, that line from Romney wasn’t nearly as bizarre as when he said that a trip to the hospital for ‘repairs’ could run as much as $1,000. For a guy whose often accused of being robotic, perhaps he shouldn’t refer to hospital visits as though they were some type of scheduled maintenance. People might start to think he’s not just playing a robot on TV.
