Republican Debate, the Silver State, the country's fate, the number eight, Journolist moderate, watch Romney gyrate, vacillate, vacillate, Santorum's Irate, the MSM’s hate, fabricate, fabricate, the Fed’s own weight, the Constitution Obama ate, liberate. . . liberate. . .
A little INXS as mood music for the debate.... ;)
ReplyDeletea poem! :)
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I think I need to send you my bottle of antipsychotics. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCrisD, Yup! :)
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, Why? What have you heard?!
P.S. I liked Erin Burnett a lot on CNBC, but she had a real habit of putting her foot in her mouth. At one point she referred to Bush as "the monkey in the middle" when he was walking between two other people. I know she didn't mean anything political, but boy did that blow up on her!
Okay, time for the really important question of the night. Cardinals or Rangers?
ReplyDeleteOh good, Huntsman won't be there tonight! :)
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, Detroit Lions.
So the three establishment guys think Romney is great. What a shock!
ReplyDeleteI'll be out during the debates, and my idiot satellite provider is having problems (again) at the same time. So I'll have to depend on all of you to give me the straight news on the debates. I know I won't get it from the TV or cable news reporters. Do your usual great job!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I am expecting this debate to be the same as the last one.
ReplyDeleteI hope there will be better questions and better answers.
Andrew, you know better than to be watching CNN unless absolutely necessary!
ReplyDeleteI will overlook your "sports" comment.
I just realized something. John McCain's wife made her family fortune in beer distributorships. And Herman Cain made HIS fortune in pizza! Do you see a pattern merging?
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha. You silly people are expecting us to ask trenchant questions that deal with the underlying issues? You should know better.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, It is indeed painful. They need to just run a blank screen until these debates start. Or I need to stick with the SciFi channel right until the debate starts.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the Lions. I forgot you meant baseball. Here ya go: Go Yankees! ;)
As an aside, the latest RCP poll has Perry at three percent in Florida; he's behind Bachmann in Iowa, and only gets into double-digits in SC, prime Cain territory. Which is to say, he'd better show that he has some solid foreign policy ideas--beyond giving non-citizens state tuition--or he's really up a creek.
ReplyDeleteBev, It means we're the American party -- beer and pizza.
ReplyDeleteCompare that to the Democrats:
Pelosi -- wine maker
Clinton -- Hollywood celeb.
Obama -- bullsh.. distributor
Not very American.
This guy is pimping Romney hard... plus he's wrong. That's not how politics works.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I like commenting here, and I appreciate you and LawHawk setting up this site, but don't think I won't go out to Colorado and track you down for that. Never, EVER, taunt me like that.
ReplyDelete"Nevada... we have hookers."
ReplyDeleteAm I supposed to be in on this intro?
ReplyDeleteJust remember, what happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas--like this debate, for instance. Also syphilis.
ReplyDeleteOh please, we don't enterances!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Iron Sheik!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot of applause for Cain.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, Jon Huntsman will not be here tonight. He's boycotting because of Nevada moving up its caucus date. Or so he says. Personally, I like to believe he disappeared into a bubble of spacetime, a la Superman.
ReplyDeleteNow let's see images of the Occupy Crowd standing on American flags...
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, I think he's starting to bow out.
ReplyDeleteOhh! We can submit our own questions.
ReplyDelete"Is it true that Newt smells like cheese?"
Please vote for me... my kid is sick.
ReplyDeleteI'm Ron Paul and I'm insane. Vote for me.
ReplyDeleteHey, I have a question too.
ReplyDelete"CNN, will you allow Rick Santorum to finish?"
I'm Mitt Romney, vote for me, unless you don't want to unless it will make you feel better, which it might.
ReplyDeletesilence...
ReplyDeleteWe're not sure we believe you, Rick. That's why we hesitated.
ReplyDeleteMichelle using the worn out reference.
ReplyDeleteShe stole my comment! Did you see that? She stole my comment!!!
ReplyDeleteI want her gone.
ReplyDeleteJust ask her kids. How many are there again?
ReplyDeleteThat is misleading.
ReplyDeleteAnd she has no plan.
Bachmann, the Ma'am with a Plan.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful way to call Bachman a liar.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. I think he's been reading Commentarama.
ReplyDeleteSantorum is doesn't know what a VAT is.
ReplyDeleteAnd he is repeating liberal lines.
Old theory: Cain is a stalking horse for Romney.
ReplyDeleteNew hot theory: Santorum and Bachmann are stalking horses for Romney.
Santorum goes down! Wrong answer on taxes!
ReplyDeleteTax Policy Center - leftist liars.
ReplyDeleteTheir analysis is false. I read it last night.
Bachman -- I is a tax attorney, but I don't understand what a sale tax is.
ReplyDeleteThis is why I had problems with Bachman. She is an idiot when it comes to economics.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with Ricks?
ReplyDeleteYee haw... than I'm gonna smoke me some cigars and ride me back to Texas.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Herman!!!!
ReplyDeletePaul -- we should not support a regressive tax, i.e. we're all liberals now.
ReplyDeleteOhhh. So, if I understand Ron Paul right, he likes the fact that half of us pay out the you-know-what in taxes and the other half don't pay a dime? Clod.
ReplyDeleteNewt. I'm begging you. Please cut through all this crap and remind us who the real enemy is.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, We should have called this "misdirection theater."
ReplyDeleteBachmann has Zero idea what she is talking about. She's just spitting out words.
ReplyDeleteIt also preserves a career for tax attorneys. Just saying. I have to raise 23 foster kids, you know.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I'm saying, I hope you don't notice.
ReplyDeleteI have to spit this out now, before this bottle of NyQuil I just drank kicks in.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Two Rick Perrys? It's like we've encountered an alternate universe.
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these guys except Cain thinks the government creates jobs.
ReplyDeleteRick Santorum the tinkerer...
ReplyDeleteNo, it's because Europe's welfare state and anti-market regulations are stifling social mobility, and now we're repeating it.
ReplyDeleteSantorum should never say "you just don't have credibility."
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this is annoying. Someone please punch Santorum in the nads.
ReplyDeleteLet me interrupt! Let me interrupt!
ReplyDeleteWow, a coherent sentence from Santorum. Too bad I don't care.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so I'm not a fan of this crowd. I think they've all been shipped in from Utah.
ReplyDeleteUm, Romney, have you seen us? I mean, we exist.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, It's an odd crowd.
ReplyDeleteActually, Romney just whipped Newt.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna punch Romney in the face, I swear to God, that smarmy little...
ReplyDeleteLet me say right now that I think this debate is a disgrace. They should all be ashamed of themselves except Paul and Cain -- and I'm not kidding.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I may not forgive any of these cretins for this horse@#$%. Especially not if they manage to knock off some of Cain's supporters.
ReplyDeleteRomney is gettin a little fight in him. Sorry, but he comes off pretty well. Do you think anyone will put two and two together that Romneycare=Obamacare? hahaha
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteCris, I think Romney comes across well. He has gotten better at standing up for himself.
ReplyDeleteWhich you can't do with RomneyCare.
ReplyDeleteRon Paul should be a professor in a University.
ReplyDeleteYes! Suggesting an alternative!
ReplyDeletePerry is all over the place on immigration.
ReplyDeleteBut we should still give them in-state tuition. Because it would be heartless not to.
ReplyDeleteChildren...
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Fight Night, folks!
ReplyDeleteSo by the applause from the crowd, now we know...there are, in fact, genuine Romney fans out there.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like screeching! (I mean if Anderson weren't watching)
ReplyDeleteRomney has just knocked Perry out.
ReplyDeleteCrowd agrees with me!
ReplyDeleteUh... you can put up fence up in a weekend if you use illegal labor.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I agree. Perry got slapped down.
ReplyDeleteLookin' like a fool with your boots on the ground!
ReplyDeleteSo Perry just bought into Obama's garbage about the connection between Iran and Mexico? idiot.
ReplyDelete"play to some group of people".... translate: racist.
ReplyDeleteIs Rick Perry's goal to just alienate the base at every turn?
ReplyDeleteSmart comment by Mitt.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, He can't contractually quit until he gets below 1% support.
ReplyDeleteOwww....
ReplyDeleteThat's a real cheap shot.
ReplyDeletePerry should slip out at the break and go home.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, we are gathered here to remember Rick Perry's presidential campaign...
ReplyDeleteThat was an 80% good answer, but Newt forgot the rest about why illegal immigration hurts the legal immigrants.
ReplyDeleteEd Morrissey on Twitter: Bachmann: Can I respond? AC: He didn't talk about you. Bachmann: So what?
ReplyDeletePaul -- "we need to see everybody as an individual."
ReplyDeleteThat's actually the most conservative thing he's said tonight.
Then he blew it by talking about the courts.
Nice answer!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that was a deliberate dodge. Maybe he was afraid of getting his foot in his mouth.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, I think they've both dodged.
ReplyDeleteI want to know about the Fourteenth Amendment, darn it!
ReplyDeleteNot true... again.
ReplyDeleteDoes Santorum know he's not in church?
ReplyDeleteI don't want to make fun of Santorum's invocation of faith and family, but that's okay, because I'm sure Andrew's already doing it.
ReplyDeleteObviously, I'm psychic.
ReplyDeleteIf we banned single people the economy would take off! But who cares about jobs anyway.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, Anyone whose answer to EVERY question is "God wants the federal government to force people to get married" is not a serious candidate.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to ask you a question about our state, because that's more important than questions about the nation.
ReplyDeleteNewt speaking out of both sides of his mouth, reminding us why there are problems with Newt.
ReplyDeleteI was against it before I was for it before I was against it tonight.
Andrew, ;-)
ReplyDelete100% right from Paul!
ReplyDeleteHi ya'll.......LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd BOOM goes the pandering hammer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that -- free markets. Do not subsize nuclear or anything else.
ReplyDeleteDC, we're doing our best! And it seems to be more organized than this free-for-all on TV.
ReplyDeletePerry's out...
ReplyDeleteOh God!! Perry said "nuc lar power" -- he is George W Bush in Perry-drag!!
ReplyDeleteHey Santorum, your cab is here!
ReplyDeleteHi DC!
ReplyDeleteIt's been an UGLY debate.
Debate thus far:
ReplyDelete"I did."
"You didn't!"
"I didn't."
"You did!"
"Duck season!"
"Rabbit season!"
Wow...Santorum strikes and keeps on striking...
ReplyDeleteI want to clarify, I should be the only one who's allowed to finish.
ReplyDeleteand apples and oranges in bushels!
ReplyDeleteThis debate needs a robot that roams the stage punching people in the crotch when they get annoying. It would be very busy tonight.
ReplyDeleteoh Andrew! too funny!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I was stoned or something when I heard this, but wasn't this debate supposed to be about foreign policy?
ReplyDeleteThat's the only honest answer given so far on this issue.
ReplyDeleteGood job Herminator!
ReplyDeleteapples and oranges galore, DC!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis style of pandering just pisses me off. Where's that robot...
ReplyDeleteAnd let me tell you, I know a thing or two about raising children!
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, It was supposed to be about foreign policy.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, I don't think the robot will work on her. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteHow to explain Occupy Wall Street...
ReplyDelete... rich idiot kids playing around!
Wow, I jear 'Michelle, my belle...'
ReplyDeletewow, michelle, real miss america of you.
ReplyDeleteCain's best response of the night, hands down. I'm saying that right now.
ReplyDeleteTHE VICTIMS!
ReplyDeleteGee, I never dreamed Ron Paul would bring up the Fed.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, i read the november one was going to be foreign policy.
ReplyDeleteI will say that truthfully, Paul is correct in a lot of that.
ReplyDeleteCris, I'd heard the one tonight was, but it certainly doesn't seem to be.
ReplyDeleteRon on a roll...
ReplyDeletePaul does not understand who is squatting on Wall Street -- they are not Paulites, they are socialists.
ReplyDeleteRomney being presidential.
ReplyDeleteany one of us would be better than what we've got now...
ReplyDeleteMy three-phase response:
ReplyDelete1. Addressing the issue one way
2. Addressing it the other way
3. Sidestepping it altogether
Brilliant! Vote for me!
politival syrup, Romney style...
ReplyDeleteAndrew, for many of them, it only takes a nudge...
ReplyDeletepolitical = pivitol = politival
ReplyDeleteA nudge? No, I'm talking a violent punch... or aren't you talking about my robot?
ReplyDeleteThe N.A.D. Puncher 1200.
Don't worry DC, we got the drift :-)
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness though, this has been a horrible debate. It's an embarrassment all around.
ReplyDeleteT-Rav, Are you old enough to know Twiki from Buck Rogers?
ReplyDeleteglad you got my back T-Rav...
ReplyDeleteAndrew, sure I was. What's N.A.D. stand for? I got Nimrod for the first one, but I don't...oh.
ReplyDeleteSerious question. Who's Twiki?
ReplyDeleteTrue Andrew, it's been horrid!
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, are we still having these "Who wrote Shakespeare's plays" debates?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't stand for anything, it's job is to punch people in the groin if they act like idiots at the debate.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was an embarrasement, Andrew, but Romney comes out looking good! MMMM how'd that happen?
ReplyDeleteYep, I was right. They've come in from Utah. That explains a lot, actually.
ReplyDeleteTwiki: LINK
ReplyDeleteCris, I think that's because most of the others are acting like angry children.
ReplyDeleteimpressive Rick!
ReplyDeleteAnd believe me, I mean that thing about not judging others. Don't ask why.
ReplyDeleteThat answer will sit very poorly outside the religious right.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I'm taking back that thing about the crowd being Mormons. That was unfair.
ReplyDeleteWe are a country that believes.... stuff. And we have individuals with. . . uh, rights.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Perry's answer sound a bit like Obama's "I could no more disown Jeremiah Wright than my own grandmother..." remark.
ReplyDeleteRomney is right about this.
ReplyDeleteRick Perry has mini strokes or maybe brain farts (whoops, can I say that here? sorry!!!!)
ReplyDeletehmmmm, what if they were Muslim?
ReplyDeletemini strokes! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe answer is yes, but extremely carefully. And I do mean extremely.
ReplyDeleteAnother ones buys into the Obama - PR on Iran.
ReplyDeleteIs there an answer coming?
ReplyDeleteI'll say this, Bachmann is making the Dems own their onetime "getting involved in unnecessary wars" talking point.
ReplyDeletein Islam the law of state and religion are one...
ReplyDeleteNewt the outsider! Down with Republicans!!
ReplyDeleteDang. There's the Newt we know and love.
ReplyDeleteDC, And there are people want that here too.
ReplyDeleteLeaving Korea and Japan would be a disaster.
ReplyDeleteI may have to drop out-when I have to pick up my husband downtown.
ReplyDeleteright on Ron!
ReplyDeleteHmm? Someone here talking about me?
ReplyDeleteCris, Thanks for joining us! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, whatever! Your husband can wait!
ReplyDeleteThere is a LOT of waste in the defense budget.
ReplyDeleteI believe what I read in the New York Times.
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe we should try nuclear disarmament! That should bring down the debt!
ReplyDeleteGood question -- why send foreign aid.
ReplyDeleteYes, don't worry. We'll take real good care of them (wink wink)...
ReplyDeleteEgypt is not Israel, unless I'm mistaken.
ReplyDeletePaul is making good points.
ReplyDelete
