What did that guy in the audience yell while Prick Erry was defending the corpse pissers?

[Erose999]

I usually feel a few IQ points dumber after listening to these debates, but JesusFuckingChrist what is wrong with these debate audiences? Its like they're only sending invites out on Free Republic and Stormfront or something.

The GOP has absolutely NOTHING to offer in this election except HATE.

[spanone]

1. they just invite everyday repubs....

[RKP5637]

2. That's about all I hear from them ... hatred, bigotry, repression and

persecution. And I was thinking last night, Gingrich looks/sounds like an old time carnival barker selling snake oil.

[Erose999]

6. He sounds like Col. Kurtz at the end of Apocalypse Now. A bloated has been who's so mentally ravaged

the only thing that stimulates him is more cruelty.

He talked about how one of his children was working at 13. What he left out is that she probably had to work because he didn't pay child support. One of his wives had to sue him for unpaid support.

I also just read that Newt (previously married himself) filed for divorce from his 2nd wife on the grounds that she had been married previously. That pretty much sums up his hypocrisy.

7. Too bad this stuff doesn't come out during the debates, that the fluffy

hosts don't ever ask the hard questions. The debates are a joke. Jokers like Gingrich get a free pass.

8. Working at 13?

As a what? Newt actually boasted of that?

[The Second Stone]

11. I had a part time job at about 14

but it was entirely voluntary

[treestar]

12. What kind of job?

did you have to get some type of permission? Other than in home babysitting, I would think in most states a 13 year old wouldn't even qualify for the permit - it's 14 in my state, AFAIK.

3. some southerners try and present themselves as the most patriotic people in the country-

...but they are also the part of the country that seceded from the union over the issue of 'states rights' but of course it was all about slavery.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Why the broad brush attack on an entire region of the country?

Slavery has not been an issue in nearly 150 years and no one has advocated that we return to that practice. Racism, hate and bigotry are not unique to the southern states.

15. Thank you Arkansas Granny...

from a Tennessee Mama!

[cordelia]

18. Thank you.

Regional bigotry is repugnant, isn't it?

[MrCoffee]

21. Standing ovation!

[Bruce Wayne]

16. That is a little too broad a brush. After all, no living Southerners were around during the Secesh

I mean, I sort of expect liberals, of all people, to reject the "sins of the fathers" arguments about moral judgments. Why, just look at how much good Talia al-Ghul does with those recycle programs. So it might make sense to fault southerners for displaying the Rebel battle flag (pro-slavery, pro-racism, and poor etiquette all around) but I don't think more than a tiny fraction would actually support actual secession. It's about as serious a problem as those liberals who keep saying they'll leave the country if R.Money (or Bush or Dole or McCain or Bush or Bush) gets elected president.

[Bruce Wayne]

17. oops, mispelled "Romney"

my bad

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Hate and fear come from the same psychic wellspring.

Think, for example, of the Fight/Flight response.

The Republican "message" is all about fear and hatred of terrorists, blacks (not to mention blah people), Socialists (with a capital S--whoever THEY are), gays, etc.

It's been that way at least since Nixon, who ran against the dreaded Hippies (of which tribe I am one of the surviving members).

[Blacksheep214]

9. Let's start the process in California

None of this religious, racist crap will fly in my state.

This garbage is wasting our time for no gain.

[XemaSab]

14. O RLY?

n/t

[Blacksheep214]

19. Yes, Rly!

Demographics.

Whites are a slight minority and we don't have a problem voting for diversity!

Do you?

[XemaSab]

20. There are a lot of religious people and racist people in this state

According to the SPLC, we have more racist groups in our state than Texas does:

[Blacksheep214]

22. Try spreading the hate

There isn't a base here for the hatred to be anything more than a small minority who get overwhelmed when they try their nonsense in public.

They don't have a voting block and while OC may be right and religious more than most places, the state is too big and open minded.

What part of Ca do you live in? I'm just north of the SFV.

[KamaAina]

10. Prick Erry!!!

[southernyankeebelle]

13. I'm telling you people aren't stupid they aren't going to vote for these republicans. They are down

right nuts.
