[uppityperson]

1. Is it on tv anywhere except msnbc? Thanks for the bloggin.

[pkdu]

11. No other TV...live-stream on politico.com n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

2. Calling out Ron Paul on his FEMA stance.

Too funny. He's playing with fire with that one.

[tawadi]

3. lololol

Old man's gonna have a stroke!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. That was way too "hot" of a topic for him.

He was far too likely to be "burned" but his reply.

Save me, please... I could keep this up all night.

The freakin' idiots.

[marmar]

4. Kudos to DUers who can stomach it and report back to us......

I can't bear it.

[Lucian]

5. It's like a trainwreck.

[JohnnyLib2]

6. Who's coming out as least crazy (for now)?

[Mortos]

8. Huntsman, who has no chance at all because of it

[Mortos]

20. Ask Perry about cutting the fire departments funding by 76%

[cali]

9. Romney and Huntsman by leaps and bounds

[Parker CA]

16. Absolutely.

[spooky3]

112. agree, but most of the others (besides Perry) aren't getting much chance to speak.

[bullwinkle428]

10. The least crazy ones weren't invited -

Gary Johnson, Buddy Romer, Fred Karger.

[sufrommich]

13. Huntsman. Although he's a typical Reagan republican.

But the other lunatics make him look sane.

[Raine]

23. Huntsman, of course he hasn't a chance in hell

and when he makes a point it's like one hand clapping.

[bullwinkle428]

7. Huntsman and Romney can compete for "best tan".

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. I think Huntsman also wins for "best hair".

Bachman loses in this field.

[bullwinkle428]

35. Bachmann is NOT looking very good this evening - I think the

campaign is starting to take its toll.

[mikeargo]

51. First and second place...

...in the George Hamilton Cocoa Butter Open

[BeyondGeography]

12. I'm here to report that Huntsman just said nothing

[Puglover]

14. They are all either so

oily I'm surprised they can stand upright or batshit fucking insane. However they are pandering to group of Americans that are the same or cynical enough to prey upon the idiots who believe this horseshit. Jaysus....it is unbelievable.

[one_voice]

15. Rick Perry...

is happy his state is making progress with the brown kids. They're doing better on tests.

[ellisonz]

17. NEWT GINGRICH IS FOR THE CHILDREN

:rofl:

[Enrique]

18. asked about shitty Texas education

Perry blames Mexicans.

"When you have the number of individuals coming in that we do..."

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. Hey, it's worked for him with the Republicans on a state level.

He has no reason not to think it won't work with them on a national level. Sad thing is, it probably will.

[Lucian]

22. No big government! Except when it comes to border patrol.

:eyes:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. HELLO!!!!!!!!! They're brown and SCARY.

Duh!

We need to be serious though. This hate crap resonates with the Republicans.

[Lucian]

34. And they speak a funny language!

:scared:

:eyes:

[tblue]

24. Border Patrol. Perry called Obama a LIAR?!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

[ellisonz]

26. Bastard.

[one_voice]

46. I heard boots on the ground...

but had to run to the potty what did he say?

[ellisonz]

115. Said Obama lied when he went to El Paso and praised the Border Patrol for improving security.

[one_voice]

143. Ahhh...

thanks!

[tawadi]

25. I can't watch it anymore

:puke:

[one_voice]

28. Does anyone else think..

Newt acts like he's entitled to this nomination and shouldn't have to be bothered with debates and answering questions?

[tblue]

31. How many times has he run? 10?

[appal_jack]

129. "Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime..."

"Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime,"* Newt has been running for president, campaigning on a platform that he will be the one to drag us all back in.

* Lyrics credit to Tom Paxton ("I'm changing my name to Chrysler"), which is the line that came to mind when I read your question.

:hi:

-app

[Mortos]

29. What the fuck was Newt talking about outsourcing something to American Express?

[sufrommich]

30. Newt: Make english official language. Yeah, that's a

burning issue right now. Nobody dog whistles like Newt.

[Lucian]

38. Yeah, and that would solve everything.

:eyes:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

41. That'll fix the recession and create jobs!

That's the kind of initiative the good 'ol US of A needs right there!

[ellisonz]

33. Can we get a medical marijuana question?

State's rights my ass.

[tblue]

36. Bachmann could adopt all 11 million immigrants.

[C_U_L8R]

37. What else is on?

I'm switching channels.... this is pretty inane rightwing stuff
that's wasting my beautiful mind.
Maybe I'll switch back later for some Tweety spittle.

[ashling]

39. Anybody playing a drinking game:

What word or phrases are you using? Reagan, free markets, etc.

How long did it take you to get drunk?




Don't drive home

this has been a public service anouncement
:rofl:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. Can't. My liver gave out under Bush.

:D

[ellisonz]

103. I still remeber SOTU 2005.

:puke:

[bullwinkle428]

50. I wanted to go with "tax cuts" & "deregulation", but didn't want to die this evening.

[nevergiveup]

40. Pretend you are a Tea Party nut.

Who would you think was winning?

[Lucian]

42. "Boots on the ground." That's what, my 34254 shot.

Going to be a rough morning tomorrow.

:eyes:

[blogslut]

43. Bachmann is tap dancing on the immigrant song

Fence, narco-terrorism, scary scary!

[tblue]

45. Huntsman. Two adopted daughters. Awwww..... I'll give him 2 points for that.

[Puglover]

47. Could Huntsman

affix his lips any deeper or any harder up Reagans ass? Really. :puke:

[tblue]

48. I've seen men like Ron Paul standing on a box in the park.

[BeyondGeography]

49. Paul says the fence could keep us in

Lolwut

[ellisonz]

54. End times, end times.

[tblue]

52. Brian's gotta wee wee.

[undeterred]

53. Hey, Criminal Minds is on!

[Bobbie Jo]

55. Can't watch, this is way better anyway.

[joshcryer]

56. Thanks for doing these blogslut!

[bullwinkle428]

57. Oh Mittster...keep sucking up to that Tea Party!

[whosinpower]

58. Funny - nothing on the economy?

nothing on jobs?

Did I miss their sage wisdom?
Or did they just blame Obamacare?

[ellisonz]

59. Rick Perry is wishing he had some yayo right now.

:party:

[Parker CA]

60. WTF did Bachman just say? Made zero sense.

[BadgerKid]

62. Sounded like a cheerleader/pep=rally. n/t

[BeyondGeography]

61. Huntsman says screw pledges

He's right.

[pa28]

63. Huntsman is playing the sanity card on tax pledges.

Being the sane guy in the race is a good niche. He's alone.

[Gregorian]

64. I've just had a colonoscopy, I feel like I can watch the "debate".

I haven't eaten in two day, therefore I have nothing to throw up.

Also: Ron Paul looks like a ferengi.

[BeyondGeography]

65. Mitt's arrogance is fucking monumental

[BadgerKid]

70. Noticed he often says "I've got a plan, er, series of plans...."

sounds like desperately trying to sell something.

[BadgerKid]

66. Mitt: Obama can't get anything moving.

Of course the 'puke dominate congress doesn't help.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

67. I'm impressed by anybody who could put together an outline.

[blogslut]

68. Romney just basically sent out the "Obama-hates-America" dog whistle

asshole

[bullwinkle428]

69. WHAT? Perry's giving props to Obama for OBL death?

[joshcryer]

74. SEALs get more credit apparently.

[bullwinkle428]

82. Well, he didn't want to freak out his base too much!

:rofl:

[ellisonz]

71. Rick Perry just changed subjects mid sentence from Osama to Keynsian Economics to Gitmo.

He's jonesing!

[joshcryer]

72. OBAMA DID NOT KEEP GITMO OPEN AGAINST THE WILL OF HIS BASE.

THAT IS A FABRICATION.

[tblue]

75. Huh? Is it closed?

[joshcryer]

84. He made an executive order to close it, GOP obstructionists passed LAW to keep it open.

[bullwinkle428]

73. Hmmm, sounds like Perry is bagging on Bush's Iraq invasion decision!

[blogslut]

76. Perry just dissed Dubya's Iraq war

He zinged Rove, Cheney and W all in one night.

This will not sit well.

[kstewart33]

77. Hardly any of these guys are answering the questions.

Perry is especially bad about this. And the moderators don't call any of them on it.

[BeyondGeography]

78. Bachmann on FP: Quack, quack, quack, nuclear Iran

[tblue]

79. Why does she say "the U-NINE-ED STATES"?

[sufrommich]

80. OMG, Bachmann is completely insane. nt

[Gregorian]

81. Bachmann- "I must say, as devistating as our economy is..."

Also, it's weirdly ironic hearing Republicans saying that Obama was reckless to get involved in Libya. Talking as if Bush had never existed. Where's there "oh, support the Commander in Chief", now?

[creeksneakers2]

83. Did Bachman just say something about a global caliphate?

[joshcryer]

88. Yep, their islamaphobia and racism is just SEETHING.

Need to shut the fuck up because this is just appalling.

[bullwinkle428]

92. Regurgitating Glenn Beck and Hannity will totally win over the people!

[joshcryer]

85. Islamaphobic GARBAGE from these GOP fascists.

[tblue]

86. Obama was indecisive about Libya? Whaaaa?

[tblue]

90. "a buffet of crazy and inane comments" Truest thing said all night.

[BeyondGeography]

87. Criticizing Obama on Libya with lies and bullshit

[A-Schwarzenegger]

89. "Ronald Reagan would have melted like the wicked witch of the east before he let that happen."

Santorum's quote of the debate.

[ellisonz]

91. They're turning on Huntsman: He Believes in Science!

[BadgerKid]

101. +(-exp(pi*i)). n/t

[sufrommich]

93. Huntsman is basically a republican dinosaur. Too bad for

the country.

[Parker CA]

94. Huntsman just put the shotgun in his mouth. Admitted that evolution is fact based science.

[sammytko]

98. Don't they know what scientific "theory" means. N/t

[Brother Buzz]

108. He just might have dodged his own bullet - time will tell

It's out there now, front and center, he differentiated himself. Gutsy move.

His campaign just may get a jump-start from Country Club republicans.

[Lucian]

95. Perry only cares about money, denies science.

:eyes:

[BeyondGeography]

96. Perry: I'll show you just how empty this suit is

[sammytko]

104. Did he name one scientist?

That was funny. You could see the squirrels turning.

[tblue]

97. Is Perry's battery running out?

[blogslut]

99. Goodhair stumbles and falls

on the science.

He's got a degree in Animal Husbandry, people!

[pa28]

105. Wow. He really is *that* dumb.

Just like dubya he can't put a whole sentence together.

[sfpcjock]

100. Rickroll: one Cato biostitute "disagrees" with 97% of scientists

so "it's unpatriotic" for the country to address climate change. :rofl:

Oopsie! The temperature change is an average of 1.35 degrees F at our latitude, but double that or 2.7 degrees at the poles where the ice is supposed to be NOW, Tricky Rick. That's using a thermometer, Rickster :rofl: :rofl:

Newtie wants to defoliate Texas, I think :rofl: :rofl:

The Rickster's hair is REALLY, REALLY short 2nite :wow: Wow :)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

102. Somebody's hair-dye is leaking into their brain.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

146. Is it the peroxide or the ammonia killing the brain cells???? n/t

[FrenchieCat]

106. These people scare the hell out of me.

All of 'em!
That is all.

[ellisonz]

107. Newt made Rickroll Blush: We could liberate 69% of Alaska for exploitation!

[immoderate]

109. Perry is nervous, halting. Not quite ready for prime time.

--imm

[Jefferson23]

110. New taxes: Romney, who are the people most hurt? the middle class...ooh.

those making less than 250,000 ..no taxes.

[BeyondGeography]

111. Crowd: Way to kill, Rick!

[Enrique]

116. classic

biggest applause of the night.

[joshcryer]

121. Wrong in so many ways.

But I laughed. :rofl:

[Gregorian]

113. "The Obama economy". This is the label Romney puts on Bush's disaster.

And Perry thinks global warming is "unsettled science"? Sheesh. He's difficult to please. Or just fucking dumb. I think it's the latter.

[Cali_Democrat]

114. Perry gets applause for executing more people than any other gov. in modern times

[blogslut]

117. And the crowd applauds Perry's horrendous death penalty total

Fuck those people.

[Drix]

118. Cheering the death penalty? OMG

[sfpcjock]

119. The Rickster wants judicial review of his death penalty decisions in Texas

:rofl:

Herman Cain has the 2nd good idea of the evening: a fair tax code not written by corporate lobbiests like GE's!!

:beer: :beer:

[Gin]

131. Perry looks like a gangster...with that suit and slick hair...

just sayin

[sfpcjock]

144. I keep expecting to see him wearing one of those 19th century starched collars,

or like a clerical collar, lol. If you've ever seen a picture of Rev. Robert Schuller's son, also named Robert, you'll say he is an absolute ringer for Perry.

Here is one:

[blogslut]

120. I think the audience just horrifed Brian Williams

[joshcryer]

126. Heh! I had a similar feeling! He was like "WTF!"

[JuniperLea]

130. They horrified me!

But Perry loved it, swine that he is... and he didn't really answer the question either. I wonder how many innocent people were executed in Texas... pathetic.

That crowd isn't a fair sampling of Americans by any stretch, but Perry played it like they were.

[one_voice]

132. I think you're right.

[Parker CA]

133. Definitely. That was absolutely vile.

[pa28]

137. So much for the "err on the side of life" comment he made earlier. n/t

[seabeyond]

142. pro life all the way, you betcha. nt

[tblue]

122. Oh! Pizza Man is still there! What is "NINE NINE NINE"?

[starroute]

145. It's some kooky tax scheme of his

He wants

- a 9% national sales tax
- a 9% personal income tax
- a 9% corporate income tax

and apparently no social security taxes at all.

:eyes:

[lib2DaBone]

123. Republicans love death... in any form...

[blogslut]

124. Should I start a fourth thread?

I've kind of lost the will to live with that death penalty applause thing.

[Suich]

134. oops! Never mind! Thanks! n/t

[blogslut]

It's over!

And I am so very glad.

I now hate a whole lot of strangers.

[joshcryer]

138. Looks like it's over, thanks so much for running the thread!

[ellenfl]

125. did the citizens of the state of texas vote for the death penalty?

gov goodhair just said they did.

ellen fl

[immoderate]

127. Perry gets to take a bow for his executions!!

A late inning grand slam for the Simi Valley crowd!


--imm

[Gregorian]

128. Ron Paul is part Ferengi- discuss.

[joshcryer]

139. OMFG! HAHAHA!!!

[Gregorian]

141. Sorry about the lack of photoshop.

But I will add this: I was wondering just what kind of offspring Michelle Bachmann and Ron "Ferengi" Paul could produce.

Sorry again.

[sfpcjock]

135. Oopsie crazy Ron Paul just called Social Security "welfare"

Tack-eee, Dicky! :rofl:

(It's not. It is paid for by a fully-solvent independent trust fund that you pay into.)

Now for a final word from Airplane Glue and Depends!

[JohnnyLib2]

136. Anybody mobilized for the upcoming election?

[Jefferson23]

140. Romney and Huntsman, they carried themselves from the crowd, cloak it better than the others. Ron

Paul's ideas exposed for what they are.... much more exposed this time around than last election.
