On the CNN tea party debate, Governor Rick Perry was slapped around a bit by his rivals for Republican presidential nomination. They mainly criticized him on his views on illigal immigration, social security, and his 2007 vaccination idea against papillomavirus. Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum were the ones that criticized him on the vaccination. They believed that forcing 12 year old girls should not be forced into getting vaccinations. He said that he regretted his decision, but he wanted to fight cancer. He was also criticized for trying to give education to the children of illegal immigrants. Perry had often called the social security a "Ponzi Scheme" and wrote a book on the topic called "Fed Up". Romney said that the topic was unconstitutional. They argued on this topic until they all blamed Obama for making the medicare system in the first place.
My opinion on this whole debate and making each other look bad is that they should look at the real problems in America. Instead of looking at illegal immigration, social security, and vaccinations, they should look at the unemployment rate and our country's national debt. If all they do is argue with each other, they will accomplish less than what they say that Obama is doing. From these arguments that they have been having, I think that Obama is a better choice for a president instead of people that hate each other and make themselves look like hypocrites. From what I understand of their conversation, they realy need to work on their priorities.
