119. Waiting for them to attack NG's comment today that homosexuality is "caused" by "1/2 genetics..."

and 1/2 environmental"....

He was being interviewed by someone in Iowa when he was asked about his sister who is a lesbian. Paraphrasing here, but he was basically asked about it being a "chosen" lifestyle after they asked about his sister and showed a pic of them together. He couldn't make eye contact with the interviewer, fumbled with some stuff in front of him, and then said he believed it was part genetics, part environmental.
You know the right fringes heads are gonna explode for the genetics part of his answer!

That part of the interview was just a blip on the news today so maybe it has not hit the radar of Fox News and the other clowns on stage with him.

174. GM didn't make the pre-application cut, according to whatever criteria the DOE applied.

It could be the DOE wanted to foster small companies near start-up status. Smaller companies are generally more innovative and reactive than large companies. (Besides, GM and the other auto manufacturers had how many decades to work on alternative energy technology?)

I wondered if Mitt was suggesting the federal government should be automatically turning to large corporations. If he wanted to cite a large company, why didn't he say GE?

272. In some ways that is true -

If you are speaking of a particular case, the courts are the final arbiter on that case, but Congress can then change the law - though that is obviously not retro active. I guess you can also say in case of a person, the President can pardon them.

274. But that's not how Batshit Bachmann was speaking. She was

basically offering contempt for the judiciary branch in response, IIRC, to a question or thread asking whether federal judges should have life terms. She was basically giving the good 'ole wink and nod to those, for example, who might feel it's OK to discriminate against someone even after judges have ruled that it's not.

In a weird way, saying which one has the final say is like the kids' game "Rock, paper, scissors". The Congress can write a law, the Supreme Court can call it unconstitutional, and (though very hard) the Congress can initiate the process of changing the Constitution.

Remember that the Military Industrial Complex is very, very powerful. I don't doubt that the powers that be would fill that audience full of voters for warmongerers like Michelle. I find her views to be extremely dangerous and I hope that you would, too.

She got crickets for some of her other remarks.

I think this "toughness" with respect to Iran is something that the rank and file Republican primary-goer (especially in Iowa) is looking to hear.

I certainly do not share Bachmann's views on this subject - just noting as an outside observer that Paul's POV will not win him any points with the Republican base.

270. Maybe but I think he is appealing to those outside the base.

I read an article this morning about how many young people he drew at a rally at University of Iowa recently. They had to open two other rooms to accomodate the overflow crowd.

Think about it: if you are a male between 18-24, you are REQUIRED to sign up with the Civil Service to get financial aid for college! I would be terrified to sign on the dotted line. I would also be frightened for my son if I were a parent.

War is a deal-breaker for many people. Besides the moral outrage, there is also the bleeding of dollars involved.

I think that any Dems who choose to caucus for him will have to switch affiliation to Independent, but it can be done if people are motivated. From my vantage point, it seems like small town are disporportionately affected by these wars. Just on that issue alone Paul may draw from the Left. Whether they'd vote for him in the general against Obama is another story but right now they might want to ensure that it's him instead of Bachmann!

I predict that he will win this caucus.

263. In the heat of the moment last night, didn't see your response. I actually agree

that Bachmann got the best of Paul in this exchange. Although she's almost certainly wrong and Paul is at least part ccorrect, she issued declarative sentences and Paul just came across as sputtering and stuttering gibberish. (Part of that is the format used where candidates are allowed impromptu rebuttals of one another so a premium goes to those who can speak over one another but still keep good sentence structure.)

I had hoped Paul was going to dispense with her in that exchange, but she actually got the better of him

I think if he had simply limited his comments to saying that wars are expensive and Iraq was wasteful and all that kind of thing, he would've been ok. By delving into the whole "Iran is really not that bad" line of attack, he was not winning any support.

This exchange in the debate may not have a big impact because of his ground game and the other more important issues, but I think that the more Ron Paul talks about foreign policy the worse he does with undecided Republican primary voters.

Huntsman just mentioned George Kennan, in saying his cold war policy was outdated. Most of the other Repukes don't even know who Kennan was.

259. EarlG - is this an authentic picture?

It looks like a Kenny G concert crowd, or maybe Kate Smith. Really, is it an actual photo from tonight? If so, they are a sad, sad bunch of deluded R's. Almost comical, in fact. Tickles me funny bone!

273. Correction--the GOP has had hardly any debates so far

They have had some farcical PR shows, but debates, where they discussed policy and world view differences?

There don't seem to have been many (if any) of those of late. Any time one of them, like Paul or Huntsman,
tries to seriously argue a viewpoint, the clowns hog the stage and bring the show back to its circus-like level
in a hurry. It more like a string of kids running for student council, except that my memory of kids in my school
running for student council had a much higher level of discourse. The Republicans seems to think the presidency
of the United States requires less sophistication than the person who represents the student body of a high
school--and if they DON'T think that, they disguise their feelings on the subject better than the winner of a Vegas
poker tournament.
