Just think, in October one of these buffoons will sit down and "seriously" debate President Obama.

Romney vs Obama - He will have to defend all the extremist views he's been spouting but probably doesn't really believe.
Pretty hard assignment since he's been playing with the tea party for so long now.

Santorum vs Obama - Uh... what? I can't quite imagine this. I guess he will argue to eliminate secularism from government.

Gingrich vs Obama - Not likely.

Paul vs Obama - Ringo has a better chance.

How the hell do any of them expect to hold a serious debate on issues with the president after all this verbal vomiting they've been spattering around these past few months.

Doesn't seem like anyone could take it seriously, but of course all the news anchors will be models of gravitas anyway.

Could be fun to watch.

Obama will debate. They will recite talking point slogans over and over, and avoid actually answering any questions.

from his take on Noah.

Yeah, right. Am I on candid camera?

I mean, seriously? These idiots are going to debate Obama and the corporate media is going to PRETEND that there is actually a contast? Well, fuck yeah because the corporate media stands to gain gazillions of dollars from the super pacs spending so they will do everything in their power to keep the cash flowing no matter what it does to our country. It is to the media mogules advantage to make this as ugly as it can be because, what the fuck, they are getting rich and if our country is destroyed in the process, who cares cause they can buy a villa someplace else.
That's what passes as Patriotisim these days.
