Why were people laughing and cheering etc. at the last

repuke "debate?" I thought that all was verboten. It reminded me of how people laughed at Carter and Mondale in the debates they had against St. Ronny. I thought we had an end to all that.

1. The GOP in the debate were laughable at best

Why does a GOP debate remind you of a democratic one?

2. I'm more worried about the metaphorical "Sieg Heil"s I heard when the subject of torture came up

The real problem wasn't the clowns on the stage, who were for the most part spineless jellyfish catering to the presumed base; the problem is the Republican base itself, who laugh, applaud and shout "Die Fuhrer" at their beloved GOP heroes like Rotten Reagan.

8. It is good to know just where the enemy stands, that is how

you defeat them. I didn't see the debate, I have too much respect for my eyes, but if there was cheering for torture, these people might need a little of the same to understand just how offensive that is to an real American...x(

When Animals Attack

5. In reality they were cheering for the free spiked koolaid...

...being passed around off camera by gals who work for "Hooters" (You didn't really think that young Wallace fellow was sober the whole time did ya?)

6. baser instincts, jingoism, a failure to admit failure and change the heading

Daddy state and Daddy can do no wrong even when he's driving us off a cliff.

7. I thought the moderators stole the show, frankly.

The candidates were spineless, pandering, fearmongers, but that was expected.

But the moderators! They were just awesome in their craziness.

9. They were so crazy and bewitched they forgot to tell the audience

to shut the fuck up!!
