Seriously, how many debates do the republicans really need..
It's like a bad sit-com that keeps getting renewed over and over and over again.

What new nugget of wisdom will be revealed tonight?

What fantastic new program will be explained to solve America's problem?

Are the people watching this learning anything at all about these candidates that is worth knowing?

It's like a fucking reality show on E or The History Channel.

It really lowers the bar.

I remember when the presidential debates meant something.

Now, it's just another episode of Rich Man wanting to get everything from the Poor Man.

1. If they're good at nothing else
they're good at spewing hot air.

2. No, many debates is just what we need, lol!
The more these idiots get up there and talk away, the more credibility (ha! as if) they lose.

These debates are sooo useful just for that reason!

They are busy painting themselves into a corner......with their mouths!

:hi:

21. I agree 100 percent
The more they debate the more people see them and get disgusted at their stupidity and ineptitude.

4. They've had debates?
There's been a series of comedy routines and carnival sideshows, but nothing even resembling real debates. Not surprising, though, as none of them seems capable of coherent conversation much less debating aptitude.

Desperation knows no end when it comes to absurdities and delusions.

9. The more they talk, the deeper the hole they dig.
They are burying themselves. It's fun to watch. They claim all these 'subjects,' then don't answer, just spew talking points.

18. And considering that we don't even have real "debates,"
but rather 30- and 60-second rehearsed sound bite opportunities, it is particularly horrifying that ANY candidate can fall on his or her face as consistently as Perry has.

17. Are you kidding? These debates have been like Christmas for us Texas Democrats!

19. Bring back John McCain
"Hey kid, get off my lawn" was better than a noun a verb and 999, a noun a verb and "Obamacare". a noun a verb and a flip-flop, a noun a verb and a temper tantrum, or a noun a verb and "oops".

28. They're digging a hole to lower the bar further
They can't lower the bar any farther than they already have without digging a big hole. Of course Perry dug a pretty damned big hole in the last debate.

Does any one of them have an IQ that registers on any scale?

I feel sorry for the GOP voters. They have the multiple stooges as candidates. Three wasn't enough - they go full out with all the idiots in their race right now.

I have no idea who might swoop in and become a reasonable candidate. I don't think the GOP does either.
