What Was the Debate Really About?

Here are two things for you to contemplate in the grand scheme, thematically, of last night's GOP debate.

THEME THE FIRST: If the Republicans let the free market do its thing and provide us all with services that can "cross state lines", which state will you choose for your healthcare? Air, water, and soil protections? Your childrens' secondary education? (Words too true, perhaps?) Your investment portfolio? Your transportation maintenance? Your prescription drug approval process? Your food inspection? Your legal protections? Your security forces? Your emergency response? Your Medicare? Your loan rates?

THEME THE MOST IMPORTANT: All this talk and back-and-forth comes down to a simple choice between ideologies, a national "world view": Who do you trust, the government or the corporations?

And that is what you have to decide, Mr. and Mrs./Ms./Miss Voter, for ALL of US.
