  2. I've really lost track of the debates. Too many! Ack.

    Enjoy the evening, though!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Tonight's debate is brought to you by Total® Hypocrisy.* Because seven GOP presidential candidates still don't contain all the cereal hypocrisy in one bowl of Total®!

    * Now with Crunchy Denial Clusters™!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Stop--uhh--cutting in.

    On my...Obama O's.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Is that bologna sandwich Romney is turning into?

    ReplyDelete
  6. IS it true that if Standard and Poor's downgrades our debt Souza'a Washington Inauguarial March for the POTUS will be replaced with NApaleon XIV's "There coming to take me away, Ha Ha!"

    Just asking

    ReplyDelete
  7. as has always been the case, I'm not set up to see the debate and post, but know you guys will have a good time with it. Hope they actually can work on Barry tonight instead of each other. Alas, that is the nature of these things.

    ReplyDelete
  8. DUQ, Yes indeed... bologna on white bread.

    Crispy, I've lost track too.

    TOTUS/POTUS, I'll pass.


    Indi, I've heard that's true. They've also got a lien on several monuments and apparently, they've ordered packing crates. :(

    tryanmax, Yum... Crunchy Denial Clusters!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Jed, Sadly, I suspect more of the same tonight. But who knows? I guess someone might surprise us?

    ReplyDelete
  10. T-Rav: I'll be AWOL again this evening. It's the Christmas get-together at the grandkids' school. But reading the comments from our readers is a lot more fun than watching the debates anyway. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  11. Here's a fascinating off-topic link. If you recall my article last week about the left becoming antiSemitic, here's official MSM verification, in which they note the Simon Weisenthal Center agrees:

    Time To Clean Up The Discourse

    Here's my original article on the topic: LINK

  12. B.Y.O.B., for the record, in this case stands for "Bring Your Own Barn."

    Andrew, should I find it disturbing that you now only have normal pictures of Bachmann and Huntsman?

    ReplyDelete
  13. T-Rav, That should probably read "B.Y.O.C." with the "C" meaning "candidate."

    As for finding the images disturbing.... yeah, probably.

    ReplyDelete
  14. T-Rav and Andrew

    What's abnormal about the picture og Gaius Newtus Gingritchinas?

    Looks spot on to me

    ReplyDelete
  15. Incidentally, my answers to the questions posed are yes, no, yes, no, family, win-win-win, and probably not. You figure it out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Indi: Well played, sir. Well played.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Off topic but Before I miss is it

  18. I was just watching "Miracle on 34th Street," and it occurred to me I'd much rather have this on the TV than stupid candidate people. Thanks, GOP losers. (sigh)

    ReplyDelete
  19. T-Rav, I'm missing a football game for this. Grrr.


    Indi, Here's your link: LINK

    ReplyDelete
  20. Well, I just read that Current TV (you know, the Al Gore network) is going to have a one-hour post-debate show. Obviously, Gore wants this to be a professional, impartial examination of the debate, so who is hosting it? Failed MSNBC hack Cenk Uygur and failed Democratic governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm, of course. I'm going to go grab something to eat, and also die laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  21. since the semester is over I can actually give the debate a go... we'll see if it can hold my attention enough to keep me from surfing back to the Hallmark movie or CSI:NY reruns...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yay rla! Screw those professors! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm still at work, so I am not sure whether I'll be able to stomac...er...join in tonight. I will try.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Personally, I think this is going to be a great debate, guys. But then, I thought the last debate was great too!

    ReplyDelete
  25. rla, I am indeed finished for the semester. I wrote two big papers, only one of which I understood, and then graded about 50 exams in one weekend, most of which had very stupid things to say. So it's been a standard end-of-semester experience.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hey, I've been to Sioux City! Or maybe that was Sioux Falls, which is in South Dakota. They're kind of interchangeable, really.

    ReplyDelete
  27. No, don't cheer these people, you are only encouraging them.

    ReplyDelete
  28. That applause for me sounded so non-perfunctory! I'm pleasantly surprised!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Their sounds stinks again -- just like last time.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am the greatest threat to America.

    ReplyDelete
  31. ...With all that said, Newt Gingrich, do you regret your divorces and affairs?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Most electable?

    d) None of the above.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Why do I feel like Newt was pandering to social conservatives just then? And what does that say about me?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Newt: I can say Reagan. So i win...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Checking in! I had to pour me a bowl of Crunch Berries.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Newt is threatening to cut off the President's legs!!! THREATENING TONE!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Also, I have lost one "shift" key, which is really throwing me.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I don't know you sir.

    ReplyDelete
  39. rla, but did you show him how to defeat Communism like Newt did? DID YOU???

    ReplyDelete
  40. nope - also didn't convince him to believe in Reaganomics

    ReplyDelete
  41. Those are evil establishment Republican neocons! GOLD!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I say, I rather like this Paul fellow's foreign policy.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Yes, this is good. I just meant the "anyone can beat Obama" bit.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Santorum is firebug!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Santorum: My plan was to suck all along.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I bet he also visited every county in Pennsylvania in 2006, which worked well for him.

    ReplyDelete
  47. cough cough.... bullship.... cough cough

    ReplyDelete
  48. he stands right there - see him??

    ReplyDelete
  49. Iowans are beginning to respond. I've gone from 0% to 0.1%

    ReplyDelete
  50. Andrew, I suspect the candidates will all yank off their suits sometime during the debate to reveal they are wearing overalls and straw hats.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Romeney: Let me just not answer that question for you.

    ReplyDelete
  52. lips moving...

    words hitting ears....

    brain no translate....

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wow, this is the most conservative message I've heard yet from Romney.

    ReplyDelete
  54. These totally look like game show podiums.

    ReplyDelete
  55. T-Rav, That would liven thing up!


    To borrow from Strictly Ballroom:


    "Show me your square dance..."

    ReplyDelete
  56. By which I mean, he included the line about the private sector creating jobs, not the government. That's about it. (Don't want people thinking I've gone off my meds--again...)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Correct answer should be "there's no such thing as too conservative."

    Let's see what she says...

    ReplyDelete
  58. Bachmann is an action person?

    Show me 1 bill she got passed.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Andrew, you jest, but if any of them can prove they know the words to "Cotton-Eye Joe," I will be compelled to vote for them.

    ReplyDelete
  60. She's been a "real person" ... unlike that male mannequin.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Lord, help us - keep your foot out of your mouth, Gov!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Obama is an accomplished debater like I am an accomplished brain surgeon.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Andrew, didn't you find that Bachmann action figure in your box of cereal hypocrisy?

    ReplyDelete
  64. No, no, Rick, talking a lot is what got you here in the first place. It's called "learning from your mistakes."

    ReplyDelete
  65. Are we talking politics or football?

    ReplyDelete
  66. Governor Hunstman.... why are you here?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Anyone else find that hard to understand?

    ReplyDelete
  68. so, he's only good in the 4th Q?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Huntsman is looking especially Bond-villain-esque tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  70. GWB - he didn't say anything, so it's OK.

    ReplyDelete
  71. And I'm not going to be conservative.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm gonna prove I'm the true conservative. How? I'm gonna snub all the grassroots conservatives with their silly pledges and so on.

    ReplyDelete
  73. rlaWTX, Yep, he would only be good in his fourth year.

    ReplyDelete
  74. as long as they aren't drinking or smoking while they say it.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Huntsman is the 99%. Oops. Wrong crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  76. rla, interestingly, Perry tends to start well and then bomb. So maybe he's the anti-Tebow?

    ReplyDelete
  77. If a train leave Chicago at 2:00 pm....

    ReplyDelete
  78. that wasn't the question, Perry!

    ReplyDelete
  79. After 12 debates, you would think Perry would have learned to speak publicly.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I missed the beginning. I assume the bleeps are the timer?

    ReplyDelete
  81. Am I stoned, or are we more than 15 minutes in and no personal slapdowns on stage so far? Is this how debates are supposed to go?

    ReplyDelete
  82. I LOVE to compromise. Vote me a Democratic Congress and I'm gold baby!

    ReplyDelete
  83. The Constitution DOES work if you follow it Newt.

    ReplyDelete
  84. tryanmax, that's actually the countdown timer to the Mayan apocalypse. Prepare now!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Newt: Reagan. Reagan, Reagan. Reagan-Reagan-Reagan.


    Reagan!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Does Bachmann have any original ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  87. Why aren't you guys paying attention to me? I feel ignored.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Obama can order congress, so why can't she?

    ReplyDelete
  89. Ouch, sorry, hit my head with a mallet before the last comment.

    ReplyDelete
  90. rla, there's this pesky "Constitution" thingamajig that won't let her. I thought she knew.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I can't do another site and Commentarama!

    ReplyDelete
  92. #answer or #dodge. I kinda like it.

    ReplyDelete
  93. And who will get the Daily Double?

    Bleep.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Whash with thish Baier dude? He'sh talking in short words and being too dishtinct. Where'sh my martini?

    ReplyDelete
  95. I figured since she was the expert she knew something I didn't... lol

    ReplyDelete
  96. I will say that Fox is being professional tonight and is getting answers. It's just that the answers are all kind of lame.

    ReplyDelete
  97. What was the last thing Paul said? I missed it.

    ReplyDelete
  98. so, can we nominate the Fox panel?

    ReplyDelete
  99. tryanmax, to answer your question above, no, nothing original.

    ReplyDelete
  100. My only wonder is why they didn't go with the "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" theme music. It'd be much more dramatic that way.

    ReplyDelete
  101. First win-win-win. Now, no new taxes. I could bust!

    ReplyDelete
  102. T-Rav, It does feel like a game show again, doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  103. the Final Jeopardy music! People always stops when it stops!!!

    ReplyDelete
  104. The music for this Shriner's commercial kinda sounds like the Jeopardy theme, though.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Mr. tryanmax, I went to Obama and I said, tear down this wall sir.

    ReplyDelete
  106. T-Rav, Channeling Charlie SheenDecember 15, 2011 at 9:25 PM

    Yeah, Fox is winning tonight. And our candidates are still losing.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Stop it, Shelly. You're killing me.

    ReplyDelete
  108. text Iowa to vote for tonights new Iowa Idol!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Final debate??? oh just til Iowa...

    ReplyDelete
  110. You will respect us! We're smart! We can do stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I've totally become one of those people who addresses people by unapproved nicknames.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Mr. Obama looked at me and said we couldn't and I say, "yes we can, sir, yes we can."

    ReplyDelete
  113. Who cares what Democrats think? That's my question.

    ReplyDelete
  114. tryanmax, okay I'll bite. Who's Shelly?

    ReplyDelete
  115. Romney gets points from me tonight for being a businessman and for attacking Obama.

    Go big bologna!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Hey, I wouldn't have a bad time in jail, if you know what I mean.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I luv me some technicalities!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Isn't habitat for humanity Jimmy Carter's charity?

    ReplyDelete
  119. I will say, the attacks on Newt over Freddie and Fannie are stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Gingrich just said he loves government all over the private sector.

    ReplyDelete
  121. don't blame Habitat for Jimmy's insanity...

    ReplyDelete
  122. Especially when there is so much else to attack him for.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Dear Ron Paul: Stop making intelligent points. It only misleads people.

    ReplyDelete
  124. More technicalities.


    PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT, PANDER ALERT

    ReplyDelete
  125. Wow! He brought up Austrian economics. I never expected that to come up in a debate. Too bad most people don't have a clue about them.

    ReplyDelete
  126. No Newt this is bullshit socialism. Go f-yourself you government loving turd.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I agree, the attacks on Newt over Fannie and Freddie are stupid, but then he had to go and say what he just said...

    ReplyDelete
  128. how are credit unions govt sponsored?

    ReplyDelete
  129. Go Bachmann!!!! She's finally right!

    ReplyDelete
  130. T-Rav, absolutely.

    His defense should be easy if he weren't a turd.

    ReplyDelete
  131. +10 for Bachmann.

    -1000 for Gingrich

    ReplyDelete
  132. So let me sum up Newt Gingrich's campaign arc: the early debate performances reminded us that Newt can be brilliant and a great debater at times. The more recent performances reminded us that he is Newt Gingrich.

    ReplyDelete
  133. can we move on from Freddie & Fannie?

    ReplyDelete
  134. Maybe that's what the beepy button was. It was warning us that pandering lay ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Wasn't there a political cartoon once of Newt as Jabba the Hutt? For some reason I have that image in my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  136. T-Rav, Newt is now showing us that he's in love with the worst parts of government.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Be very careful in how you tread here, Newt, lest I turn green and emit smoke from my ears.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I like the question, but could he have maybe shortened it?

    ReplyDelete
  139. Newt says "Reagan" more than Cain said "9-9-9".

    ReplyDelete
  140. Eh, I think Andrew's picture of him as a Roman emperor is much more flattering. At least I think it was a Roman emperor...

    ReplyDelete
  141. Oh, puh-leeez! The Ryan Plan phases in across, what is it?, 30 years. That's hardly cutting anything out from anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  142. T-Rav, I have the perfect picture. I'll update it for next time.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Captain Crunch and Count ChoculaDecember 15, 2011 at 9:38 PM

    Come on guys, be honest. You all would rather see us debate than these jokers, right?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Again with the reach-around, er, reach across the aisle.

    ReplyDelete
  145. No, it's actually a pretty straightforward question. Are you a hypocrite or not? (Hint: the answer is yes.)

    ReplyDelete
  146. I never voted for it, except I did.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Personally, I agree with what Paul says. However, that is not how Paul presents himself.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Me taking earmark money is perfectly fine, but don't worry, I'd get rid of it if I could.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Mmmm, Crunch Berries. (I gots 'em.)

    ReplyDelete
