Rudy attempts contrast on National Catastrophe Fund
During the section of tonight’s debate where the candidates got to ask each other questions, Rudy attempted to distinguish himself with his support for the National Catastrophe Fund by asking Romney (who has been equivocal) and McCain (who opposes it) if they support the fund. Romney and McCain both directly avoided saying no and Giuliani probably hopes Floridians can read between the lines, but it still didn’t really hit home since Rudy didn’t have a chance to follow up. Neither did the moderators.
1. Romney said he supported the fund but organized at a regional level. (Still equivocal but he definitely took some buzz out the question by initially saying “yes.”)
2. McCain avoided a no answer by saying he would work with the states to develop a similar insurance bailout and priced the Cat Fund at $200 billion “with no way to pay for it” making him sound fiscally conservative.

Romney had the best answer. McCain just repeated Romney’s remarks.
Last Night McCain was the Spin Master.
One good example was the way he spoke when he could not answer Dr. Paul economic question. It became clear McCain was using Buzz words which for knowledgeable people mean nothing. He really had to put his 25 years in Congress learning and mastering the spin to work but to not avail.
McCain mentioned he has been fighting to eliminate the Pork contained in bills and try to distance himself from those called Republican in Congress which injected tons of Pork bills by saying (They did that and they did this) when he fact is one of them.
Who is he pretending to fool? One just need to check his voting record check the bills he has supported and/or sponsored, primarily bills related to Defense.
Guess what? Check them out and you will see lots of wasting spending on those bills.
But wait… wait.. haha; I bet he will say…(Money to the Armed Forces regardless as to how it will spend, it is money well spend.) Guess what? I say WRONG… PORK is PORK regardless as to where is allocated and he better no hide under the Armed Forces umbrella. What he needs to do is to retire from Congress together with a bunch of others so new ideas can flourish by the new young people that will take their place and with it allow our country to come together under the direction of our beloved Constitution.
