[BleedingHeartPatriot]

6. I KNOW! Especially after I told several people whom I know he'd been excluded.

FAUX news, you made me look uniformed.

NOW, IT'S PERSONAL! MKJ

[still_one]

12. If he is it is probably because a significant number of his supporters

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. John McCain sounds medicated

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. McCain: No recession looming... just a "rough patch"

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

14. As as "we" control "our" out of control spending. And, he'll wield the veto pen.

A little too Freudian for my taste. :puke: MKJ

[Thrill]

13. Its amazes me how these assholes

MKJ

18. Romney is smirking his ass off at Huckabee.

[THUNDER HANDS]

19. watch Huckabee when he speaks

his face is so alive - and I mean that in the sense that his eyes are very active, as are his eyebrows and and forehead. I've said before, it's a subtle thing, but it really enchances his speaking style.

Contrast that with stone-faced McCain and Romney and Guiliani.

[goodgd_yall]

22. I noticed

He seems half-way alive---more than I can say for some of the others.

[THUNDER HANDS]

31. Ron Paul

reminds me of Jack Nicholson in the first half of One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest.

[protect our future]

100 years of economic theory and policy goes out the window

[rucky]

by starving them all to death.

[Zynx]

27. Romney was hilarious: Recessions hurt working families.

No shit.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

28. Paul up. Love when the OB/Gyn talks about "over stimulation".

:rofl: MKJ

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

PAUL: We must not delay the recession!! Raise interest rates!!!

[Colobo]

[goodgd_yall]

75. I think he only "beat" him because a noisy part of the crowd agreed with him

[Zynx]

78. Yeah and Huckabee had pretty good crowd support too.

[goodgd_yall]

79. It did sound that way.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

87. because he was reciting a prepared script

[Zynx]

114. Yeah. He could never have come up with that on his own.

[Zynx]

76. Yeah that attack on Huckabee was rehearsed.

2656759, Old man THOMPSON just called HUCKLEBERRY a, a (gasp) DEMOCRAT & disloyal to RAYGUN!1
Posted by UTUSN on Thu Jan-10-08 08:33 PM

Old man THOMPSON actually appeared to rise from the dead of the first 25 minutes of ho-humminess. Real fireworks, came out of nowhere, sneak attack!1

HUCKLESBEE just got 30 seconds to reply to a long list by Old Man, list of everything from coddling ALIENS and desecrating the sainted RAYGUN by saying that the RAYGUN coalition/revolution was over.


Then GHOULiani felt it incumbent to declare that he was hired by RAYGUN and that he is "a Conservative."


PAUL is talking from the sane PART of his brain, saying that in 2000 Shrub-CHEENEE ran on statements of being anti "nation building and policing the world, but what are WE doing now---nation building and policing the world".

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

84. I missed huckabee's applause line... sigh

[goodgd_yall]

88. A severe price to pay---They'll see the Gates of Hell

It was actually more creepy than that, but he did say the gates of hell bit.

So manly.

[workinclasszero]

95. "bomb bomb bomb Iran"

John McCain came up with that take off of the Beach Boys song, Barbara Ann.

If McPain gets elected we will be at war with Iran the next day.

[goodgd_yall]

Posted by Proud2BAmurkin on Thu Jan-10-08 08:24 PM

:wtf: :scared:

on edit: The problem wasn't the national anthem it was about 50 paired up couples on stage with middle age women in white prom dresses and white men in black tuxes all singing the national anthem with one violin. weird as hell 1977 flashback to who the hell knows what kind of Lawrence Welk Jimmu Swaggert revival

[goodgd_yall]

94. Yep---Post #2

Creepy as hell.

[tishaLA]

93. Rudy extrapolates something about nukes

from the reported kerfluffle with Iran yesterday? He really IS a warmonger (whoremonger). And Hume is even worse.

Oh this will go over like a lead balloon.

[goodgd_yall]

99. Good!

[goodgd_yall]

MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

101. Lauging from the audience at what Paul said

[goodgd_yall]

102. Then boos at Romney's snarky remark.

[K Gardner]

104. Those EYEranian rowboats were trying to provoke us !!

[cmaff05]

100. LOL

Ron Paul sounds clueless, out of touch

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

103. Missed that. Thought he made perfect. sense and that's coming from someone who

thinks Paul is a libertarian nut job.

Loved how Paul's supporters booed Romney. :rofl: MKJ

[K Gardner]

105. Biggest warmonger wins any repug debate. Sense does not count :-)

[goodgd_yall]

110. Paul's stance on war is his one redeeming value

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

113. Yep. The stars aligned for him on that position.

And, I believe he's appalled at the current policy. MKJ

[Catchawave]

106. I may be too late....link/channel ?

[Zynx]

108. Faux News

[K Gardner]

109. Fox.. I just tuned in too.

[THUNDER HANDS]

111. foxnews channel

[Catchawave]

116. Thanks guys

How did I miss this!

Ron Paul up!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

107. Now McCain is pumping the surge. Gross.

MKJ

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

115. McCain also said more American servicemen would be coming home. DIdn't mention how many would be in

coffins. :mad: MKJ

[K Gardner]

132. That was my thought exactly, and Paul should have said that.

[THUNDER HANDS]

[goodgd_yall]

118. Paul gets cheers and applause

[goodgd_yall]

122. More cheers

[K Gardner]

119. Paul makes sense. McCain makes Jokes. What sick fucks.

[Zynx]

126. That McCain joke was mildly racist too.

Burkas?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

129. Oh, and they buy one way tickets. Asshat.

MKJ

[THUNDER HANDS]

121. the laughing at Ron Paul is disgraceful

on this point, he's like a sane human being in a room full of lunatics.

[goodgd_yall]

127. You said it. He's gotten some good cheers though.

[cmaff05]

123. Ron Paul

just killed McCain.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

124. Paul's kind of kicking ass. Oh no, I think I might like him a little.

:spank: MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

130. No problem, I think most of us like him when he talks against war

[K Gardner]

128. Six soldiers killed yesterday.. and the news is good coming out of Iraq?

[goodgd_yall]

133. OH, you should have heard McCain at the very start.

Laying it on the Democratic candidates for not acknowledging the "surge" has worked. He listed all the good stuff and acted as though 6 soldiers didn't just get killed.

[gateley]

131. Is it over? I can't find a live link on foxnews.com -- Thanks.

[K Gardner]

134. Not over. I'm watching on TV. Dont know if its on internet. Hey Gately !

[gateley]

153. Thanks --

[goodgd_yall]

160. Not a bad thing at all!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

136. Romney says we need to "move the world of Islam". Where?

MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

139. I'd like to see them move to Utah.

[Zynx]

141. Radical Mormons and radical Muslims?

That'd be interesting.

[K Gardner]

140. Back to the checkerboard? Or was it the chess board? I'm confused.

[K Gardner]

138. Grampa Fred is reaching for his Geritol.

[cmaff05]

142. Ron Paul speaking the truth

And then Guilani tries to spin it with the usual GOP talking points.

[goodgd_yall]

143. Thompson likes Musharaff

[K Gardner]

144. USAmericans are training Furrineer Generals.. interfere much Georgie?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

145. It is really fun to watch Paul keep talking about how the US is sending money to the

Arab states who oppose Israel.

His supporters are cheering him all the time. MKJ

[K Gardner]

148. No wonder he's got so much support. If he weren't so wacky on some of the other stuff !

[slipslidingaway]

151. And the other candidates said nothing in reply. n/t

[Zynx]

149. Mittens has not been doing well.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

150. The Cialis ad just pointed out one could get a "delayed backache" from taking it.

:wtf: :rofl: MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

155. From taking it or the effects of it?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

161. It's all in the "delay".

:shrug: MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

167. I like best the part about

"If you have an erection for more than 4 hours..."

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

152. Romney is telling us what "they" (us) are saying. He totally understands "them" us?

And, he's going to bring change and honor promises to the American people.

Rah, rah! MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

154. Off topic: Romney's Olympics were the WORST I've ever seen

Really bad, bad, opening and closing ceremonies and full of U.S. chauvinism.

[Zynx]

156. If you like fascism, you love Mitt Romney.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

157. That was such BS, I don't even know where to start. And, it did pretty much suck.

MKJ

[K Gardner]

158. Big Republican President?? Pot calling Kettle?? ROFL

[goodgd_yall]

159. Hume sure does a lot of editorializing in his questions

[goodgd_yall]

162. Go eat a moon pie, Fred.

[bullwinkle428]

163. "Respect for the rule of law"? I guess there's a first time for everything!

[K Gardner]

165. My jaw dropped on that one. The Hypocrite Express.

[K Gardner]

164. Fred is out of breath. He talked too fast.

[goodgd_yall]

168. His mouth got ahead of his brain.

[peaches2003]

166. Dig Reagan up and give him a podium

Do they understand Reagan is dead!? The Dems might as well start trying to emulate FDR or Thomas Jefferson.

[goodgd_yall]

170. Do you remember the Republican Convention where they were knocking FDR?

It was when Reagan was nominated. I guess the Repugs like dead people. Come to think of it, with as much as they like war, I guess that's pretty obvious.

[K Gardner]

169. Wait for it.. wait for it.. 9/11 reference coming... BINGO

[Zynx]

173. I was expecting a more overt one.

[goodgd_yall]

171. Schmucky pontificating on marriage

and Hume let the applause go on a long time before he finally broke in.

[bullwinkle428]

172. Huck-a-chuck trying to spin his marriage comment!!

We ain't buyin' what you're sellin'!

[Zynx]

175. We actually did quite well on that one among Republicans.

That would offend secularists.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

182. And he never really explained why he signed the fricking thing. "submit" what a lovely word.

MKJ

[K Gardner]

174. I'm rooting for Ron freakin Paul ! He's giving them HELL !!

[THUNDER HANDS]

177. i know, it's like rooting for the sober guy in a room full of drunks

[bullwinkle428]

176. If we could just save that particular part of Ron Paul's brain

and just discard the rest!

[K Gardner]

178. I know !

[goodgd_yall]

179. Oh, boy, the bigot party begins---immigration

[Zynx]

180. Fred Thompson sez: I hatez those dem ding don der Mexicanz

[bullwinkle428]

181. Mitt used extra greasy kid stuff on the hair tonight!!

[Zynx]

183. It was pig fat. Just slopped it on there.

[goodgd_yall]

187. lol!

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

184. Paul's less appealing side is showing now.

MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

186. Yeah, he's kind of a one-note Johnny.

[goodgd_yall]

185. Huckabee can't answer question of how to let "Hispanics" know Republicans "want them"

[K Gardner]

188. LOL... no Republican can answer that one.

[Zynx]

189. He kinda sorta....no he didn't haha.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

190. LOL! But, hey, Guiliani allowed the children of illegal immigrants to go to school.

A regular Simon Legree there. MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

191. Finis

[K Gardner]

192. Winner: RON PAUL !

[goodgd_yall]

193. FOX NEWS reports Fred Thompson won among "The People"

[goodgd_yall]

The down side: He was flippant, negative

[goodgd_yall]

194. Oy, listen to these people....

:puke:

[bullwinkle428]

196. I'd text Paul to Fox News, but I have to pay by the text and

don't want to waste the quarter!

[goodgd_yall]

199. According to Faux News, Paul lost. I'm shocked.

:sarcasm:

[bullwinkle428]

195. The focus group thought FRED THOMPSON WON???!?!?

This is too sweet...all of them are going to be winning primaries at this rate! What a clusterfuck!

[K Gardner]

197. Another FIXED Luntz focus group. They are very afraid and want to give Fred a boost..

but who the FUCK can actually believe this Old Fart hit a homerun? Funny and entertaining, humorous?? Stacked.

[bullwinkle428]

198. I'm SHOCKED they declared Paul as the loser...

:eyes:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

202. Right before changing the channel I heard that. They chimed in, right on cue.

:eyes: MKJ

[goodgd_yall]

200. You make me laugh.

:hi:

[phillyliberal]

203. unreal

amazing how poorly these so called "candidates" are prepared for a debate... its incredibly frustrating to watch these clowns stumble around the issues and throw around the same bullshit rhetoric.


Did anyone catch the little survey foxnews gave following the debate? it couldn't get any more scripted... the room overwhelmingly said that fred thompson won, and ron paul did the worst... like a complete opposite of the actual performances.

Wow, it truly must be sad to say you are a republican these days.. I mean yeah, always, but with candidates like this, WOW it is embarrassing as an American to see people like this in the running for the most powerful job in the world, in such a great country as America. sad.

[goodgd_yall]

204. I don't think you could be proud to be a Republican since Eisenhower

You never hear about HIM anymore. I think the Repugs want to disown him.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]
