"SNIP................



Hell, 90 percent of the entire night consisted of each candidate personally attacking President Obama, each other, the Iran deal, Planned Parenthood, immigrants or the Supreme Court. I sat in front of my television for over 5 hours and I can't tell you a specific plan any of these candidates has other than a couple of references to a flat-tax. Which, by the way, is nothing more than a huge tax hike on the poor and middle class while massively cutting taxes for the wealthy.

Oh, and apparently Sen. Ted Cruz believes the George W. Bush-appointed Chief Justice John Roberts and Ronald Reagan-appointed Anthony Kennedy are now liberals, because they dared to interpret the law as it relates to our Constitution when it came to the Affordable Care Act and same-sex marriage bans. You know, they should have just sided with Republican propaganda concerning both issues.

Those bastards.

But it's really a testament to the sad nature of the GOP when the "winner" of the debate (at least according to most political pundits) was Carly Fiorina, essentially because she presented herself well. Forget the fact that practically nothing she said had any sort of substance, or the fact that she basically said that if she were elected president she would likely end up starting WWIII with Russia – who cares about those facts. As long as you're a candidate who can memorize talking points well, then deliver them in a confident manner, getting your facts straight simply doesn't matter.

Apparently, to be a "strong presidential candidate" one must only possess the ability to speak well during a debate. It doesn't matter really what you're saying, just as long as you say it with a certain panache.

3. I don't get that. It is akin to being proud that you had the sense to piss yourself if your crotch

was on fire or that you wipe your ass well.

We all need to aim hire than bigoted, feces flinging monkey with a frontal lobotomy.
