GOP primary debate audiences embarrass Republican Party

http://nma.tv

The GOP primary debates give the candidates a chance to become known to the public. The forums have revealed much about the Republican base as well.

For the GOP's extreme, it seems there is no room for nuance between policy and principle. Will the audience outbursts alienate the rest of America?

In a way, the insensitive and intolerant audience outbursts are just an amplification of the insensitive and intolerant positions of the candidates.

Yet at least one GOP candidate has held his ground. His positions might not be popular with the base, but they are sure to look good with a wider constituency.

Yet one wonders: is there any limit to what the GOP primary debate audience will cheer or boo?

The GOP hope to take America forward. But as the candidates pander to their base, they risk making the Republicans look like a party of the past.

NMA has devoted considerable coverage to the GOP. I feel they've given a very fair assessment of each candidate, and have noted their good points and bad. Audiences at the debates have: 1. Shouted "yes!" when Ron Paul was asked if we should simply let people without health insurance die.

2. Cheered and hooted the death penalty

3. Booed and shouted at a gay soldier asking a video question FROM IRAQ. Is it "pandering to democrats" to talk about the simple fucking facts? Awesome

@magmaishot

you have to be KIDDING me.

If you think that Obama is in bed with the corporations you're INSANE.

Why do you think so many corporations gave millions of dollars to obama's campaign in 2008, and after witnessing his status quo corporatist policies are once again donating millions of dollars for his next campaign?

Ron Paul is the ONLY man in washington who will give you a "fair shake".

Obama 2012! I mean come on! These candidates are a joke. I am not going to allow these psychos running the country. I'm a Texan and I already hate Rick Perry as a governor.

Actually, the republican party was historically responsible for all manner of civil rights victories, like women getting the right to vote, the abolition of slavery, and end of segregation. It's only recently that they've become a herd of lobotomized rabid weasels on speed.
