Republican Debate

The Republican debate took place today. During the debate, Romney and Giuliani got into an intense clash about immigration. Giulani was accused of protecting immigrants in a "sanctuary city" when he was mayor of New York City. Giuliani defended himself by stating that he did his best to enforce immigration laws. He also accused Romney of having many "sanctuary cities" and a "sanctuary mansion" when he was governor of Massachusetts. Romney replied that he can't confront any person with a "funny accent" to check his citizenship.

All of the candidates were concentrated on attacking each other, which I think really puts them under pressure and helps voters decide which candidate is the best. If you didn't get to see the debate, you should check it out here and decide which candidate you support.

It my just by my computer but i was unable to watch the video on that link. Maybe another reference is needed?
In my mind, i would think a canidate should try to gather support by demonstrating positive ideas and incentives for voters in a debate. After reading some comments from the debate, it sounds like these Republican canidates are nothing more tha a bunch of whining babies. They're going back and forth at each other, with some valid points, but mostly with defensive comments. I really don't get a sense of purpose in this debate that was sopposed to be informational. But thats just my opinion.
