GOP Audiences still most intriguing thing about these Debates

The responses regarding torture are what they are--but they are getting applause for being willing to use waterboarding.  This is just one of those things I'm still trying to wrap my head around. What gets applause?  Executions, letting the uninsured die, Herman Cain's sexual harasssment issues, and waterboarding. What gets boos?  Gay soldiers and bringing up Herman Cain's sexual harassment issues. 

I've got to stop paying attention to these things.
