Election Fraud?: Why Did ABC-TV Post Illinois GOP Primary Results 24 Hours Early?Comments Off

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdGJaGbLj5E

How the hell does SGTreport have election results for a Republican primary in Illinois which has yet to take place? We have long argued that the fix is in but this… um… leaves us speechless.

Posted tonight — MONDAY, March 19th — on the web site of Chicago ABC News Affiliate WLS-TV are the following election results, clearly labeled as “Illinois Races, Federal Offices”. If we have this wrong, please let us know why this information exists in ANY form. Or, if we are indeed living in a banana republic, copy that. You now have our blessing to move out of the country.

Gingrich Campaign Just Admitted to Lying in Last CNN DebateComments Off

Newt Gingrich’s big applause line in the South Carolina CNN debate is coming back to bite him.

When moderator John King opened the debate with a question about allegations that his ex-wife made in an interview. Gingrich fired back, saying that his campaign offered several friends familiar with the situation to rebut ABC’s interview, but that the network refused to talk to them.

That wasn’t really true, his campaign now says.

Gingrich’s spokesman R.C. Hammond has told CNN that the only witnesses it offered to ABC were Gingrich’s two daughters from his first marriage. Not exactly the scores of “personal friends” that Gingrich promised as character witnesses in the debate, and promised again in a follow-up interview with King.

Mitt Romney came down against Gingrich’s treatment of the media, and John King in particular, in an appearance on FOX News Wednesday, The Hill reports.

“It’s very easy to talk down a moderator,” Romney said. “The moderator asks a question and then has to sit by and take whatever you send to them. And Speaker Gingrich has been wonderful at attacking the moderators and attacking the media.”

Ultimately, the legacy of Gingrich’s big moment might not matter, as Gingrich’s South Carolina boost seems to be shrinking fast. Already the conservative media is uniting to sink Gingrich’s campaign, and new polls show that Gingrich is rapidly losing his lead in Florida.

Who Won the Debate?: January 19th 2012 EditionComments Off

*Written by Rob Rimes.

Here we are again in South Carolina with the last debate in the state before they hold their primary election. This version of the ongoing shit show was put on by CNN. Unfortunately they brought back the throat gurgling champion of Dorchester, MA Mr. John King himself. Unlike last time however, we weren’t subjected to Mr. King’s guttural throat interruptions and in all honesty, he was pleasant to watch this time around.

Now be forewarned, the majority of this debate consisted of pointless bickering and while I did enjoy the bloodshed, the Santorum-Romney-Gingrich ménage à trois was more annoying than entertaining and for the most part it pushed Ron Paul out of the debate several times. I wish John King had been a bit more pro-active in squashing some of these squabbles, as it created an atmosphere of elitist shitcocks stealing the spotlight from the only sane man on stage. However, even with this issue, Ron Paul was not stopped from pulling off on of his best performances to date. When the man had time, he fucking shined. His smack downs to Rick Santorum were also the best jabs of the night and proved that Paul can battle it out with the establishment Neanderthals when need be.

It was a good night for Ron Paul, in fact he got the loudest ovation during the introductions which was refreshing considering how the South Carolinians treated him during the last debate. I’d like to say that the crowd was great and they really won over my support for South Carolina, as I was about ready to hire a witchdoctor to curse the everliving shit out of that state just a few days ago – following the last shit show. I guess it was just the people of Myrtle Beach that sucked because the Charleston crowd was a beast when it came to cheering for liberty and sanity.

The first question went to Newt Gingrich and it was about his ex-wife, who came out earlier in the day saying that he was a monster that ended their marriage because she wouldn’t give him permission to cheat. Without even answering or addressing the concerns brought up by John King, Newt brushed it off to a loud ovation. Gingrich said that he was “appalled” at the media for promoting this scandal and extremely upset that the subject kicked off the debate. As he continued to bash CNN and John King for their “despicable” actions, the crowd shot up to their feet! Honey Badger don’t give a shit! Newt finally addressed the issue after a long-winded smack down and said that the story was false and claims that he offered real witnesses to ABC that would debunk the story but apparently they weren’t interested. He went on to say that companies like ABC are just out to bash the GOP and protect Obama as he tries to get re-elected.

Now I understand Newt’s frustration and do agree with his feelings about the media but he was really just acting like a cornered dog – snapping at anything he deemed a threat. Whether the incident happened or not, it was well over a decade ago and the fact that the media and his ex-wife are bringing this story out now just shows that they are only out to hurt him. Frankly, as I’ve said before, I don’t care what a politicians dick does; I just care about how they lead and the decisions they make.

In an effort to save himself from looking like an ass, John King asks the other candidates their thoughts on the issue. Santorum skirts around giving a real answer and just mumbles about morals, leadership and Jesus. Romney says “Let’s get to the real issues.” Ron Paul warns about the corporate run media and how they can shape public opinion.

Ron Paul is then asked about whether or not we need the federal government to set up specific plans to help solve the unemployment problem. Paul says that we need sound currency and for the federal government to get out of the way. He calls for a near zero percent income tax and for regulation to be reduced in order to help create more jobs. He explains that we need to get rid of our excessive debt and malinvestments. He adds that the government shouldn’t be bailing people out and that they need to just stay out of everything. He says that they should focus on enforcing contract laws and bankruptcy. On the same subject, Newt says that we have to eliminate Dodd-Frank. He also talks about tapping into offshore natural gas, as that industry could create tons of jobs. He adds that we should look at overhauling the Corps of Engineers.

King switches the discussion over to Romney and Bain Capital. I’m so tired of this damn subject. Newt claims that Bain’s business model destroyed companies. Romney, like a fucking coward, diverts the whole issue and goes back to talking about job creation. Mittens blames Obama for using crony capitalism which is just a soulless attempt at getting cheap pops from the crowd. He then rambles about unimportant nonsense but throws “capitalism” around for even more cheap pops. It gets to the point where all I hear is “Capitalism!” “Capitalism!” “Capitalism!” “Capitalism!” and applause. Santorum jumps in and says that he “..still believes in capitalism.” Man, this guy is funny! He then tells stories about Iowa just so he can make an Iowa connection and brag about how it came out earlier in the day that he actually won Iowa and not Romney.

Ron Paul is asked if the federal government should help veterans get jobs, as statistically the unemployment problem hits vets the hardest. Paul says that he is concerned about soldiers coming home and trying to adjust to regular life again. He says that the vets do need help especially in regards to health. He talks about how veterans traditionally get shortchanged. He also talks about helping them with their mental health, as the suicide rate for veterans is very high.

Santorum is asked the same question as Paul. He feels that there should be special preferences for veterans. He then turns that into a rant about Obama wanting to cut the military and says that it is “disgusting”. On the same subject, Romney says that while he was governor of Massachusetts he helped vets with college and job training. This isn’t about you asshole. He then spins it into typical Romney rhetoric and finishes by saying he will build a military so strong, no one will dare test us. What about people who like challenges Mr Romney? Someone will always test it. Gingrich then talks some smack about Ron Paul which turns into him calling for a transition program for veterans, which is essentially the same thing Paul was suggesting.

On Obamacare, Mitt Romney says that an executive order won’t kill the bill. He says that we have to go after a complete repeal. He adds to his point that the American people need to stand strong and united in order to influence Democrats to help end Obamacare. Mitt then says that he will replace Obamacare with his own program. Huh? Wait.. what? Mitt claims that he will protect people and give them insurance options. He then says that he’ll help save health care with “free market principles”. Oddly, none of this sounds like “free market principles”. All Romney proposes to fix government intervention into health care is a different form of government intervention into health care. Government intervention is the opposite of free market.

Continuing on with the health care portion of the debate, Newt Gingrich tells parents to vote for the GOP candidate because they’ll create an environment that’ll get kids out of the house and off of their insurance plans. Santorum disses Romney and starts a Romneycare rant. Ricky Boy then starts dissing Gingrich for being in favor of individual mandates. Rick then talks about how he was the author and architect of a private health reform project that no one but him was interested in. Romney responds to Santorum saying that Romneycare wasn’t a government run system. He then points out that people in Massachusetts still approve of Romneycare 3-to-1. Mitt also claims that insurance rates dropped under his plan. Ricky Boy jumps back in and says Mitt’s facts are wrong and then reveals that Romneycare was the model for Obamacare! Dude, that’s like really old fucking news. Romney and Santorum then go back and forth for what seems like forever on Medicare and Medicaid.

Gingrich then jumps in, making it a three man dick-wagging contest. He calls Santorum “mildly lazy”. He then says that he led the charge against Hillarycare and that he was the guy that helped Rick Santorum try to gain traction with his private health reform project. He then challenges Obama to a Lincoln-Douglas style debate, which causes Santorum to make fun of him for suggesting that without having yet earned the GOP nomination. They then go back and forth as John King tries to bring Paul, the only doctor on stage, into the health care debate.

Ron Paul admits that the likelihood of repealing Obamacare isn’t good. He then talks about how he practiced medicine before government got involved and describes how well it worked back then. Paul points out that Santorum, regardless of his claims, expanded government control over health care based off of his policies. Paul then gets into the massive spending on the military and talks about how if we can bring that down, we’d have more to use elsewhere, even though he plans to attack the budget on every front.

Rick Santorum is asked about Newt Gingrich’s recent comments that called for Santorum to drop out of the race. Ricky Boy looks kind of hurt by the question, poorly shrugs it off and says that grandiosity is Newt’s style. He then points out again that he won Iowa and had twice as many votes as Newt so Newt should STFU and GTFO. Ricky Boy then claims that he was 2-0 going into South Carolina, which is a blatant lie. Then, comparing himself to Gingrich, says that he is steady and solid and even if he isn’t charismatic and doesn’t have good soundbites he is still a top tier candidate. Santorum basically said, “Hey, if you didn’t know my faults, here they are! Vote for me! Lulz!”

Gingrich then immediately gives us a Reagan name drop, as well as a Jack Kemp name drop. He goes on to describe his record versus Santorum’s and says that Rick isn’t qualified to be president. He adds that we need real leadership that can take on big projects and makes it known that Santorum can’t carry the ball at that level. Ricky Boy snaps back, getting personal, saying that under Newt, the House of Representatives was “undisciplined”. He then says that Newt doesn’t have the courage to stand up against rival leadership. Newt then lists off all the shit he did that he feels is bad ass, in an effort to prove that he is a rebel.

Continuing with the pot-stiriing bullshit, John King asks Romney about him calling Gingrich an unreliable leader. Mitt diverts the question in typical Mitt fashion and instead, talks about how the spat between Newt and Rick is why we need “a guy that’s lived in the streets to run this country.” By streets he means inside of the gated community. Romney filibusters for so long he pauses, looks at Newt and literally asks him “where are we at?” because he can’t even remember the original question and apparently can’t follow his own train of thoughts. Mitt comes back though and takes a shot at Newt saying that if he and Reagan were so tight, why is he only mentioned once in his diary.. oh snap! Gingrich doesn’t even flinch, he just name drops Reagan again, ignoring Mitt’s comment about them not being homies. Suddenly everything starts to fall apart on stage and we are stuck in another long-winded three man dick-wagging contest. There was almost some full-on full frontal fencing between the three swashbucklers.

The issue of releasing tax returns is brought up. Ron Paul says that he is afraid to release his as he’d feel embarrassed to have his income compared to those of the other men on stage. Paul jokingly points out that he isn’t a fat cat like the dick-wagging three amigos who are ballin’ outta control. Romney says he will release his taxes in April when he is done with them. Hasn’t this motherfucker heard of Turbo Tax? It’s January and I’ve got my taxes done already. That shit only took twenty minutes! Romney then wastes everyone’s time to ramble about Obama playing golf while Americans are out of work. He then bitches about the pipeline and Obamacare and doesn’t seem to realize that other people need to answer the tax question. Gingrich says that if there is nothing to hide, then Mitt should release his tax info. Newt adds that he released his earlier in the evening. Santorum says that his taxes are on his computer at home and that he hasn’t done them yet, as he’s been campaigning. When asked exactly when and how he will release his tax info, Mitt says that he doesn’t know and gets greeted with a chorus of incredibly loud boos. However, South Carolinians are apparently gullible as Mitt quickly adds that he “..won’t apologize for being successful”, which causes them all to cheer. I think these people have serious ADD.

Santorum and Paul then get into a spat. Ricky Boy starts by saying he would cut corporate taxes in order to allow us to compete with our foreign rivals. Paul comes in and says that you have to create the right conditions to bring companies back to America. He explains how free trade with China actually helps the American economy, contrary to modern conservative bullshit. Paul then points out that Santorum has damaged the economy by not supporting “right to work”. Santorum snaps back saying that he would support it as president. Sure you would now dicknose because you’re pandering to the people!

The hot button issue of the week, SOPA and PIPA, come up. Just the mention of SOPA gets the crowd fired up to where they boo loudly and uncontrollably. Gingrich is questioned about it first and he responds to King saying, “You’re asking a conservative about the intellectual interest of Hollywood?” In typical fashion, Newt’s clever one-liner got a lot of applause and cheers, however it is just a clever one-liner and pretty soulless as it offers no substance and doesn’t answer anything. Truth be told, whether he’s a conservative and Hollywood is liberal doesn’t matter. Artists have a right to own their own property and not have it infringed upon. Newt doesn’t care about the rights of who he perceives as his enemy however. Now I am not saying this in support of SOPA and PIPA, I vehemently oppose those laws; I am just pointing out how empty Newt’s one-liners are. After his big soundbite, he looks a little befuddled, like he has no idea what all this SOPA and PIPA talk is. He does finally add that laws already exist that allow companies to sue those who infringe on them.

Romney says that Gingrich is right and adds that the SOPA and PIPA laws are too intrusive and too expansive. He feels that these laws would have a “depressing impact” on the Internet and all of the industries attached to it. Romney wants more effective laws to bring the digital pirates to justice and says that these laws aren’t going to do that.

Ron Paul tells us that he was the first Republican to come out and oppose the law. He then says that the bills will not pass but that everyone should be vigilant as similar laws will come back up in the future. Paul feels that the Republicans have been on the wrong side of the issue. He then says that freedom and the Constitution bring people together and this is a great example of it due to the strong opposition to these laws all over the Internet.

Santorum says that he doesn’t agree with the law but then goes on a tangent about how the Internet isn’t a free zone where people can just trample on the rights of others. What the fuck does he know? His computer is powered by musk turtles. Santorum, who is talking against SOPA and PIPA, as the crowd hates it, still thinks that there should be a law like it. He then asks, “Who on the Internet said ‘anything goes’?” Shut up fucktard.

The debate then shifts to illegal immigration and border security, which these fucking guys have talked to death every single debate. I honestly lose interest and find myself staring into an empty bottle of bourbon that was used to wash down the twelve pounds of sushi I ate just a couple of hours prior. I snap out of my sushi-bourbon coma and hear Newt talking about modernizing visas, Ron Paul talking about how taking care of the needs of illegals hurts our schools and hospitals and then I get distracted by porn on the other television.

Gingrich and Romney argue over pro-life shit for quite some time and then Santorum jumps in making it round three of the GOP dick fencing competition. John King steps in after this abortion debate has raged on forever and goes to Ron Paul in an effort to change the subject. The crowd immediately erupts with boos as they are not happy that, once again, the only doctor on the stage was left out of a medical portion of the debate.

Ron Paul, on abortion, says that laws won’t correct the morality of people. Santorum jumps on his shit and says that he only has a 50 percent “right to life” voting record, responding to what he thinks is an attack on him by Paul. Ron Paul laughs and tells Ricky Boy that he is “too sensitive” as he wasn’t referring to him in his comments. Paul then goes on to explain how bullshit his 50 percent “right to life” voting record is, as he follows the Constitution and his record with that is 100 percent. Paul further explains that these “right to life” laws should be handled at the state level and that is how he has always voted. Santorum just stands there like a dork dick with his bitch tail between his bitch knees.

The debate ends with a segment where the candidates are given time to beg the South Carolinians for their vote. They all say what they have all been known to say over the course of this primary adventure and I don’t feel like wasting time typing out the details. This was a pretty good debate, there have been better ones and worse ones. Ron Paul’s time was limited due to the gay three-way the other candidates were having but Paul utilized the time he had brilliantly and really pulled off one of his best performances. Paul was the real winner here and Gingirch, although I don’t like many of his answers, also did well after having a really shitty day due to his ex-wife. Santorum sucked per usual and Mitt just looked like a sack of crap. Mitt getting booed made me giddy inside.

Grading Scale:
Grade A+: Ron Paul
Grade A-: Newt Gingrich
Grade D: Rick Santorum
Grade D-: Mitt Romney

Newt to Ex-Wife: ‘You need to share me’(1)

As the political world waits to hear what Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife had to say about their failed marriage in an interview that will air later today, the reporter who conducted that interview, ABC Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross, told WMAL’s Morning Majority program that Marianne Gingrich claims her ex-husband wanted an ‘open marriage.’

“He came to her and said, ‘I want to stay married to you and still have an affair with Calista, his current wife,” said Ross. “According to Marianne, he said ‘You need to share me,’ and she said ‘I don’t want to share,’ and the marriage ended,” he added.

Ross told WMAL that ABC News had been trying to land the interview with Marianne Gingrich off-and-on since November, and that she finally agreed to sit down with him last Friday here in Washington.

“I think we start by knowing that what an ex-wife has to say we all take with a grain of salt, I hope, because that’s what ex-wives can be known for,” says Ross. “But I think the most dramatic thing from the point of view of people looking at Gingrich  in his campaign about character and that he’s asked for God’s forgiveness and that he believes in the sanctity of marriage is her allegation that what Gingrich wanted from her was an open marriage,” he says.

“She talked about how he called her and told her he loved her, knowing that Calista was next to him in bed in their apartment in Washington,” says Ross.

Ross says Marianne Gingrich wanted to come forward now, because she thinks voters would want to know this kind of information before they go to the polls.

Who Won the Debate?: January 7th 2012 Edition(1)

*Written by Rob Rimes.

This is the first debate after voting has officially started. It is also the first of two New Hampshire debates, the second one being just twelve hours later at nine in the morning. I’m already dreading waking up that early on a Sunday to watch it. I guess my typical Saturday night must be put on hold so I can type up this debate critique and prepare for tomorrow’s early morning rap battle between six whiteboys.

Anyway, this debate started with your typical intro, which was actually nice and fair to everyone involved in the debate. That’s not something I can say about myself because I am about to let the douchebags have it, as I always do. As with every ABC debate, we are stuck dealing with Diane Sawyer, who is a really feminine looking fellow, as well as George Stephanopoulos. There is also some dude named Josh sitting at the table this time. Everyone is announced and there are no cheers or boos so either the crowd is boring as fuck or ABC decided to get all Mussolini about the rules. They’ve also brought out that red light, yellow light, green light timer thing again, which is just fucking stupid. Have a real fucking timer people, colors are confusing. Besides, what if one of the candidates are color blind? You liberal shitcocks didn’t think of that did you? You wouldn’t want to be insensitive would you?

Now with this debate, I’m going to just write about the key moments. The reason for this is because this debate was literally a mess. It was easily the worst one yet and even though I’ve said it before, this one was plagued with amateurish technical issues and the questions, format and refereeing were so poor that this was like a free-for-all 12 and under night at CiCi’s Pizza Buffet. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the cable channels, with smaller budgets, put together better debates than the major networks. ABC sucks mule cock because this damn thing was almost unintelligible and to top that off, it ended twenty minutes early!

So of course, the first question goes to Mitt Romney. Although ABC sits on the left and the candidates are supposed to sit on the right, there is an obvious bias towards Romney in this debate. Reason being, at the end of the day, ABC and Mitt Romney are both progressives. It’s also worth noting the Rick Santorum is now standing at one of the center podiums. That’s bullshit! He isn’t one of the top two frontrunners. He didn’t win Iowa and in New Hampshire he is polling 4th out of 6! The guy polling second is Ron Paul but god forbid they put him center stage with Romney.

So Mitt is asked about job growth. He says that he is optimistic and that the current growth is great but he then points out that Obama is going to take credit for it when in reality he had nothing to do with it. In fact, Romney goes on a tangent about how Obama’s policies have made the situation worse and made the road to recovery that much harder.

Rick Santorum is questioned next and all he does is ramble about how great he is and all the great things he has done. Yep, he’s fantastic! In fact, I just wrote an article about this moron and his moronic policies (read it here). Ricky Boy warns that Iran is the most pressing issue of the day. No it isn’t, unless you are an Islamophobic warmonger that can’t pull their finger off the trigger. He tells us that we need to strengthen our ties with our allies and we need to throw our weight around with our enemies. Santorum then takes a shot at Mitt and says that we don’t need a CEO as commander-in-chief. Apparently Santorum isn’t worried about jobs and the economy. He just thinks that the president needs to be a military man above everything else. Well Santorum, you are neither a CEO or a military man, so go fuck yourself.

Mitt Romney responds by saying that people who spend their life in Washington, like Santorum, don’t understand how a CEO or a business owner could be a real leader. Mitt says that his experience is in real leadership. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney then go back and forth about records and other boring shit I’ve covered in the other seven dozen debates. Mitt ends the exchange by going on and on about all the jobs he’s created; he claims that the 90,000 jobs at Staples were part of what he helped start.

Jon Huntsman is asked about Mitt’s record and he immediately goes in to say that it is fair for the country to dig into any of their records because everyone’s is quite extensive and will most likely have something questionable in it. Huntsman points out though that the candidates need to realize that in their current position, they have to expect their record to be picked apart, analyzed and scrutinized. He then finishes by touting his economic successes in Utah.

Ron Paul and Rick Santorum got into it, which was great. It started when Paul was asked about his attack ads against Santorum and he started to defend them but was immediately interrupted by the buzzer. Then Santorum cut in and yelled at Paul that he was lying. Fuck, Santorum is such a whiney wimpy bitch with extremely thin skin. Paul goes on to explain Santorum’s shitty record but the buzzer continues to malfunction in the background. It’s like ABC is just trying to throw Paul off. Whatever, I’m not going to get all conspiratorial about it.

Santorum, who is just acting like a pissed off pussy, says that the group Dr. Paul cites that labeled him “corrupt” is a liberal attack group and that Dr. Paul should be ashamed for even bringing it up. Aw, poor baby. Santorum then tries to go on and defend his big government waste and just fails miserably at convincing anyone. He just talks about how great he is and how his garbage policies have saved America. He then fallaciously attacks Ron Paul on earmarks. Really? Did he not hear Dr. Paul’s answer to this last debate? Maybe if he’d shut up and listen to someone else for a change then he wouldn’t be such a self-centered egomaniacal asswipe.

Shaking his head, Paul makes it clear that he has always voted against big spending. He goes on to explain that Santorum is a big government conservative and no matter how he tries to explain himself it doesn’t matter. He’s a statist and that’s all there is to it. Santorum snaps back saying that his record is good, which is by far the most laughable thing in this entire debate. He then disses Paul’s libertarianism and says that he isn’t like Paul because he doesn’t vote against everything. He says that as if it’s a bad thing! Santorum is a fucking cry baby dork dick pissant that was seriously about to break out in tears or have a meltdown if Paul kept pushing him on the truth. The moderators stepped in and saved us from full Santorum meltdown, which was the stupidest thing they could have done! Fucking ABC! Just when Icarus was getting too close to the sun, you you handed him a fucking parachute!

Rick Perry, who is still in this race somehow, points to Paul and Santorum and says that Washington insiders are a problem and since he’s not an insider, he’s the man for the job. Yeah, you’re a Bilderberger dude; you can’t get much more “insider” than that. Stephanopoulos asks Perry to clarify if he is calling Ron Paul an “insider” and Perry says yes and then goes on a rant that ends with him calling Ron Paul a “hypocrite”.

Cutting in, Huntsman says that we just witnessed a bunch of insider “goobly goop”. He then reminds us again that he did a bunch of amazing stuff that helped take Utah to the moon. Huntsman says that the United States has a “trust deficit”. This is becoming his “999″. He then says that “everyone knows that Congress needs term limits”. No dude, everyone doesn’t know that. In fact, I’m undecided about it. It’s something I need to do more research on. On paper it sounds good but you can’t just go off of that.

Crazy ass Diane Sawyer turns to Mitt Romney, who gets confused because Sawyer forgot to ask him a question! God, ABC sucks! Mitt goes on to say anyone up there would be better than Obama. He then rambles a bunch of gibberish and I can’t follow what he’s saying. I just hear something about a “dangerous world” and “shrunken military”.

We then get to the next good fight of the night and this time it is between Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. Newt is asked about Paul’s “chicken hawk” comments which refer to Newt being so pro-war yet never having served his country as a soldier. Newt responds to this by talking about how his dad was in the military and that he was an army brat. He tells some story and then tries to convince us all that he “gets it”. Great, are they going to start making former Army brats generals now?

Ron Paul is asked if he would use that phrase again to describe Newt. He says yes and then he goes on to defend all the youngsters that are being pulled into war by non-military leaders who have never served a day in their lives. Ron Paul reminds the other candidates that the Constitution has rules and that all these wars break those rules. He doesn’t like it when leaders who have never experienced war send our kids off to die over some bullshit.

Newt rebuttals by saying, “Ron Paul has a long history of saying things that are inaccurate or false”. Shit, I just spit my soda across the room.. hahahahahaha! Did Newt really say that?! Yes he did! Jesus Newt, you talk more bullshit than most of these people combined and you’re going to try and call the only honest man on stage a liar? Really? Newt closes by saying that he resents Paul’s comments and the fact that he slurs people. Newt really can’t stand personal attacks by other politicians. In fact, he was on Fox News this past week urging Mitt Romney to pull his attack ads off the air. Naturally, Mitt just laughed at him. Ron Paul comes back at Newt and says that when he was drafted he had a wife and two kids and he still went. Ron Paul, believe it or not people, is the real experienced military candidate.

Ron Paul is then asked about the racist newsletter issue again and he is asked to explain it for the umpteenth time. Paul says that he did not write it and says that looking at something he didn’t do 20 years ago is distracting from what’s important in the world right now. He adds that the moderators need to ask him what he will do to work against racism. He goes on to talk about how the drug war hurts minorities because they are treated much worse than whites when hit with the law. He also points out that minorities suffer more in war due to how they are treated. He promises to end this sort of racial tyranny.

Mitt is asked if states have the right to ban contraception, which just kicks off a really weird five minute block of strangeness starring Mr. Romney. First of all, Santorum rudely cuts in and mumbles something because he is an attention-starved whore. Mitt says that he would oppose any ban to contraception. He is asked if states wanting to ban it is Constitutional. Mitt immediately looks confused and tells the moderators to ask “the constitutionalist” Ron Paul. So Mitt doesn’t know and he’s looking for  Dr. Paul to bail him out. He then diverts the discussion and goes into a rant about the Supreme Court but George Stephanopoulos asks Mitt to answer the question again. Once again, he cannot answer it and brushes it off by saying that no state wants to ban contraception so why is this being brought up. Stephanopoulos asks Mitt a third time and this time the crowd boos, they’re over it.

Ron Paul while discussing the Constitution says that the 4th Amendment is clear and that you can’t just go into people’s houses and disrupt their lives. He talks about how thew PATRIOT Act is unconstitutional which causes America’s favorite shit stain Rick Santorum to chime in that the PATRIOT Act does not violate the 4th Amendment. Apparently Mr. Santorum has never read the fucking thing. He then throws in that he wants to turnover Roe v. Wade.

The topic shifts over to gay marriage. Gingrich says that marriage is exclusive to a man and a woman but regardless of that, we don’t have to make gays miserable. He says that we need to clearly define it. Okay, so where’s the part about not making gays miserable? Huntsman says that civil unions are fair and that his marriage and his family aren’t threatened by civil unions. Huntsman says that recognizing a civil union between gays and lesbians “brings dignity to their relationships” and he feels that it is “absolutely appropriate”. Santorum on same sex adoption says that it is a state issue. He says that marriage is a federal issue however. Huh? He says that you can’t get married in one state and not have it recognized in another, so therefore it has to be defined at a federal level. Okay, so if a gay couple has a kid in California but then they go to Nevada, is the child magically not theirs then? This logic makes no sense. Plus, if marriage is defined at the federal level, then doesn’t that eliminate gay marriage across the board and thus eliminate a married gay couple from adopting a child, even at the state level? On gays, Mitt Romney says that everyone has the right to form long-term relationships but that doesn’t mean that they have to call it marriage. He says that gays could have some sort of “contractual relationship”. Aw, how sweet!

Ron Paul starts to talk and is immediately interrupted, not sure if it was Romney or Santorum but whoever it is should shut the fuck up. These idiots are so afraid of this guy that they can’t even let him get out a sentence. Paul says that we need drastic changes in foreign policy and monetary policy. He adds that there has been no real talk about cutting spending in this debate. Well, no shit Dr. Paul, you’re on progressive ass ABC with a bunch of progressive ass neo-con RINOs and Jon Huntsman. Paul does point out that the “cuts” to military spending that everyone is bitching about is really just an end to future increases.

Joining the military discussion, Huntsman says that it is time to bring the boys home. He says that our occupation of Afghanistan is not to fight an insurgency but that it is to nation build and it’s time to end it. Huntsman warns that civil war is around the corner in Afghanistan and he doesn’t want to stick around and endanger our troops any longer.

Newt jumps in to say that we’re asking the wrong questions about Afghanistan. He claims that Afghanistan is one piece of a larger puzzle. Gingrich goes on to point fingers at Pakistan, Iran, Syria and pretty much everywhere else that doesn’t have Christianity as their state religion. Newt’s solution? Bomb him some motherfuckers!

Santorum says that America is soft and can be pushed around too easily. He blames Obama’s handling of Iraq as to why we are so soft. He then gets mad at Huntsman for wanting to leave Afghanistan and goes on an angry rant about “RADICAL ISLAM! RADICAL ISLAM! RADICAL ISLAM!” He then gives the fucking spiel about how they hate us so we have to murder them. He obviously can’t wrap his fucking peanut brain around the fact that maybe they hate us because we are bombing the shit out of them and setting up bases in their backyards!

Super-fucking-genius Rick Perry jumps right in and says that he would send troops right back into Iraq. He then drunkenly rambles about treasure and blood money. Perry claims that Iran will move into Iraq. Wait, didn’t all these guys, like a month ago, say that Iran would move in the second we left? Okay, so where are they? None of them really care about solving this problem. In fact, Newt says that if you want to stop Iran coming into Iraq, you just have to go stop Iran at the source. For the uninformed, that means he wants to flatten their country.

Ron Paul is asked about his questionable foreign policy and how he expects to win when that is seemingly his Achilles’ heel. Ron Paul says that the president is the commander-in-chief not a king. He says that we need to go to war the right way and not the way that we have been for the last 50 years.He points to all the countries that we are in and how many of our leaders now want to bomb so many others. Ron Paul tells us that we need to change our ways. He then tells a story about how just this week, the Navy rescued some Iranians from pirates and how those sort of actions are what we need to be doing to build relationships with other countries. He warns against throwing around sanctions and threatening aggression. He says that our actions push those that we perceive as enemies into the arms of China, which is bad for all of us.

Rick Santorum then comes on and explains that the Iranian people want to be liberated and that they have taken to the streets and protested against the current regime. He says that Obama missed an opportunity by doing nothing. Of course, even though he knows there are innocent people who want freedom, Santorum’s answer is to sanction them to death and then bomb them if they’re still alive.

The next topic is jobs and truthfully, every dickhead on stage just talks about how Obama sucks and how they have created trillions of jobs in the private sector, yada yada yawn. Santorum does go on some long-winded sanctimonious speech about spending cuts. Funny, considering the douche only knows how to spend. Honestly, I can’t listen to this fucking prick anymore so when he comes on, I’m just going to put my earbuds in and listen to Morse code because at least that’s more exciting.

Ron Paul is asked to give a realistic vision of what he feels would be a great America. He says that people need to understand economics, not of the Keynesian variety obviously, and that they need to learn about bubbles and how they break. Ron Paul says that we are in the midst of a really big economic correction. He talks about how the Republican Party used to stand for real cuts but that they don’t any longer. He continues by saying that we need to stop bailing people out and we need to truly understand the business cycle.

The debate moves over to Huntsman and he warns against putting tariffs on China. He says that we need to sit down with China and work through our trade issues. Mitt Romney jumps in and takes a cheap shot at Huntsman by pointing out that he worked for Obama as Ambassador to China. Well no shit asshole, that’s why he knows so much about China! Maybe you should STFU and listen to him, eh? Nope, Romney goes on to talk about how China manipulates our money and sends us computer viruses. First of all Mittens, WE manipulate our fucking money! Romney says that he won’t talk about how we need to get along with China. He says that they need to play by the rules and not kill our jobs. All I can think of right now is that ‘South Park’ episode where the town rednecks repeatedly yelled “They took errrrrr jobs!” Huntsman says that Romney is just using easy talk to get easy applause and says that his ideas will create a real trade war. Romney essentially says that he is willing to call China’s bluff.

We come back from our final break and the moderators ask some stupid fucking question I won’t even address here. I’m tired of time wasted on dumb shit that doesn’t move the debate forward. I guess it doesn’t matter though because they end the debate twenty minutes early and that’s that.

This debate was horrible. End of fucking story.

Who Won the Debate?: December 10th 2011 Edition(2)

*Written by Rob Rimes.

I’m getting tired of Saturday night debates, they cut into my weekend time and thus make it so that I can’t go out and shower my taste buds with everything 80 proof and above. Granted, I drank a lot of beer during this debate but I would have much rather been out trying to plant my seed in loose women than be stuck on the couch fighting fits of rage due to my chronic irritability brought on by just the sight of Rick Santorum or Michele Bachmann. Luckily I was at my friend Michael’s house and we were stuffed full of Vietnamese style marinated beef chunks and Guinness Black Lager. Anyway, enough of my bullshit, let’s talk about the debate.

This debate was moderated by two people I pretty much can’t stand: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos, both who have probably already written plenty of checks to the Obama campaign. Being that it was hosted by ABC, one would expect a cool set and pretty high production value. This was not the case, as the stage felt small and very claustrophobic and the broadcast was plagued with amateurish audio issues. It’s funny when ABC, just like CBS can’t take the debate seriously enough to use their better resources to produce a better show than 2nd rate cable networks like Bloomberg. Fox News and CNN blow all these people out of the water with their debates but I guess the content is what is most important. Then again, ABC and CBS both ask really fucking stupid questions. At least the video intro showed a clip of Rick Perry actually using the phrase “Git-R-Done!”

The debate started with the typical introductions and applause for the candidates. Michele Bachmann was smiling so wide with those crazy eyes that she reminded me of the Green Goblin mask hanging in my closet. Also, she is wearing navy with black, doesn’t she know that’s a fashion “no no”? It is interesting to note that Ron Paul got the loudest ovation and Rick Santorum got no ovation. I also noticed that Mitt Romney, who is in third place going into this debate is positioned in the middle. The positioning is based off of recent polling numbers, therefore the two center spots should be the top two in the polls, which are Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. Newt is there in the center but Paul is stuck at the 3rd or 4th place podium. Considering how many questions and how much time was wasted on rebuttals between Newt and Mitt, it’s pretty obvious that CBS is pulling for Mitt first and Newt second. It’s all good though, because Ron Paul was set to have a good night while Mitt had maybe his worst performance and Newt spent some time confusing and irritating people.

On a side note, ABC had a countdown clock that displayed colors as opposed to numbers. It went from green to yellow to red when it was time to stop. That’s just stupid; give the candidates some numerals. Moving on to the substance part of the debate.

The first question went to Newt Gingrich. He is asked about creating jobs and he goes on to tell us about how he was a job-making wizard with Reagan back in the 80′s when he was in the House of Representatives. He also talks about how he and Clinton created jobs and fixed the economy in the 90′s when he was Speaker of the House. He goes on to say that less taxes and an energy plan will create jobs. He calls for zero capital gains taxes as well as zero corporate tax. He also wants to abolish the death tax.

Mitt Romney goes on a rant where he says “private sector” 354 times in under 60 seconds. Mitt goes over his seven points on job creation and amazingly doesn’t run out of time. I think the stop light clock gave Mitt more time, or maybe there weren’t any other cars waiting at the intersection?

Ron Paul says that we need to liquidate the debt and to stop dumping it on the people. He says that we need to stop helping and bailing out those (big banks and corporations) who keep ruining the economy. Ron Paul calls for an end to big spending and big government and points out that he will cut a trillion dollars his first year in office.

The next candidate to jump in the job creation exchange is Rick Perry. He pimps out his flat tax plan, which surprisingly he hasn’t mentioned over the last few debates. He tells us that we need to get rid of the regulatory burden created by massive agencies with too much power, as it hinders innovation and job creation. He claims that he has the blueprint to create jobs and cites his “success” in Texas once again. Rick Perry finishes his points by bitching about the crony capitalism between the Beltway Suits and the bankers on Wall Street.

Bachmann, who was just itching to piss me off right from the fucking get-go yells out “nine nine nine!” Are you fucking kidding me?!?!  Cain’s gone lady, I don’t want to hear it anymore! In fact, I was relishing in the fact that I didn’t have to hear it ever again and here you go yelling it out the first chance you get! What the motherfucking fuck woman! And Bachmann was the first candidate to come out and bash it, now she is quoting it? Jesus Christ, could it be anymore obvious that she is trying to suck in the Cain Brains? Needless to say, she didn’t answer the question, she just gave us a really poor fucking attempt at stealing Cain’s flock of sheep.

Apart from that she obviously finds the time to immediately bash Obama and Obamacare and to tell us for the umpteenth time that she was fighting it in Congress. We already fucking no that lady! Please just give us some goddamned substance for once and stop regurgitating the exact same talking points you’ve used in all fifteen or so of the previous debates. I can’t deal with this woman, who is consistently polling under 5 percent, for another three months throughout this race. Please, please, please bow out. It’s time.

Santorum who also needs to bow out at this point, tells us to get our Bibles out or he will jail us. No, not really, but I’m sure that’s what he wanted to say. He goes on to say that “Made in the USA” is going to be his motto when in office. Why not make it your motto now dude, because you are not going to win the presidency. Even if everyone else on stage dropped out and Obama just decided to quit and you were the only choice, you would still lose on a write-in vote. Why are you still in this? He also mentions petri dishes or something but I don’t care.

The moderators go back to Bachmann to ask her about payroll tax extensions. Again, she starts harping on Obama without answering or giving a solution to anything. Bachmann wants us to be sure that she does not stand with Obama. No shit nincompoop!

Mitt promises not to raise taxes, mmmhmm. He rambles on and on about jobs while Rick Perry just creepily stares at his cheek. Under the stage lights tonight, Mitt looks a lot older. He also looks orange and his eyes are bloodshot. I think he was puffing chiba before he came out. In fact, he seemed really off all night and just didn’t hit the mark at all.

Rick Perry is asked a question from the moderators and Rick Santorum immediately starts to answer it, cutting off Perry like the prick that he is. I don’t hear Santorum’s answer because it is pointless. I just notice Perry creepily staring at Santourm’s cheek now. Perry is also blinking a lot! He may be one of those space reptiles sent here to eat our livers. Perry never gets a chance to actually answer the question that was meant for him.

Ron Paul says that he wants to extend the tax cuts but says that he would be able to pay for it by cutting billions of dollars by bringing home the troops and ending American imperialism all over the world. He tells us that we need to get rid of several embassies and bases and in doing just that, we will save a ton of money. He even mentions that we wouldn’t need to raise taxes on Social Security, if we would just trim the military fat.

The candidates are asked who among them is the most conservative and best choice to take on Obama. Really? What a fucking waste! I bet they all say “me”. However, this question isn’t really answered, as it just turns into a long exchange between Mitt and Newt where each is given about two dozen chances to respond to their opponent’s responses in what was a fifteen minute circle jerk of shit.

Mitt disses Newt about his desire to create a lunar mining colony to find resources. Mitt also repeatedly calls Newt a “career politician” and takes shots at him for wanting to end child labor laws. Newt responds with one of the best disses ever, when he says that Mitt would’ve also been a career politician had he not lost to Ted Kennedy for a Senate seat in 1994. The crowd erupted and Mitt looked like he wanted to eat his shoe. Newt then defends what he feels is a real need to explore space and to look for resources everywhere we can. He says that NASA has gone from being great to being more of a tragic establishment today. Gingrich says that we need to be in space in “an aggressive entrepreneurial way”. He also defends his stance on child labor laws and gets a round of applause. Newt made Mitt look real weak in this debate.

Whose turn is it now? Mitt again!!! enough already, pass the mic! He shows really thin skin over Ted Kennedy remark and then responds with, “Private sector! Private sector! Private sector!”

Ron Paul is asked about his anti-Gingrich “serial hypocrisy” adverts. He points out that Newt has taken many non-conservative stances and even took money from Freddie Mac, who were a huge contributor to our current economic woes. Ron Paul says that Newt Gingrich has taxpayers money in his bank account due to his involvement with Freddie Mac, touché! Paul says that there is serious trouble for anyone trying to compete with him on consistency. That also deserves a solid ”touché”!

Responding to Paul, Gingrich says that he is with Paul on auditing the Federal Reserve and firing Ben Bernanke but he doesn’t stand with him on most other issues. Newt, obviously taking a shot at Mitt to divert from dealing with the truth brought out by Ron Paul, starts dropping, “Private sector! Private sector! Private sector!”

Bachmann tries to get in the mix and says that Newt’s actions are the epitome of the establishment. Right, and her actions aren’t? She’s the candidate that called for suspending the 10th Amendment last debate when she said that she was in favor of tort reform on a federal level. Bachmann, lying to everyone including herself, says she is the most conservative. Yep, that’s why she wants to expand the PATRIOT Act and ignore states’ rights. Bachmann, on yet another Obamacare mini-rant, brings up the fact that Newt was for the individual mandate. She goes on to say, “Obamacare. Obama. Obamacare. Obama. Obamacare.” She then refers to Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney as if they are one being, when she calls them “Newt Romney”. I personally think she got confused and then just tried to play it off like she was clever. Either way, it was dumber than Gilbert Grape’s brother trying to build a dump truck with his boogers.

Newt talks about and describes how he fought against Obamacare. He then tells Bachmann that it is important that her allegations be accurate because everything she said about him wasn’t true. Bachmann cuts in and again calls them both “Newt Romney”, which once again, gets no response from the crowd. Sorry lady, if a joke doesn’t work the first time, move on! Don’t try to keep telling it because you will only look like a fucking tool. The point to all this is, is that once again, Bachmann has absolutely no substance and nothing to offer to these debates. Her campaign has become a big joke to everyone else but her and Wayne Newton. Every time she tries to mix it up with these professionals, she looks like the drunk mom at a PTA meeting. Again, Bachmann has NO substance!

In defense of Bachmann’s idiotic tirades against himself and Newt, Romney responds. On Obamacare, Mitt says that he wishes Obama would have given him a call in order to see what did and didn’t work with Romneycare. He also disputes the validity of Bachmann’s statements.

Rick Perry, vying for attention, says Bachmann hit the nail on the head with Mitt and Newt on their health care follies. He tells us that the Beacon Hill study said that 18,000 jobs have been lost in Massachusetts because of the individual mandate in Romneycare. Perry then tries to get clever and calls Obamacare an “Obamanation”. Romney cuts in with a good cheap shot, when he calls out Perry for his attempt at forced inoculations.

Again, defending his position on the individual mandate, Newt talks about how it initially started as a conservative thing to stop Hillarycare back in the 90′s. Perry and Romney go on to argue about some missing content that was edited out of Mitt’s book and Mitt tries to make a ten thousand dollar bet with Perry, which Perry refuses. Bachmann cuts in with, “Obamacare! Obama! Obamacare! Obama! Obamacare!”

Rick Santorum said that unlike Newt, he looked for a better solution than the individual mandate and that he tried to implement medical savings accounts. Santorum then says that he is a consistent conservative. Nope, he is a consistent religious fascist. Santorum blasts Bachmann by saying that she is consistent but that she “always fails”. Bachmann responds with another Obamacare rant and then we are treated to our first commercial break, thank God!

We come back from break and the topic is character and if marital fidelity is an indicator of who is a good leader. Rick Perry says that marital fidelity is not only a vow to his wife but a vow to God. He says that it’s stronger than a handshake in Texas. He tells us that he is of the opinion that if you cheat on your wife you will cheat on your business partner. The other Rick, Mr. Santorum, believes that infidelity is a factor but it doesn’t fully discount you as everyone makes mistakes and can ask forgiveness.

Ron Paul says that character is very important but it should show through not just be talked about. He makes it clear that the oath of office is what is really important here. Paul says that if people would take the oath seriously we wouldn’t have all this tyranny and a vast majority of the laws we have wouldn’t exist. He blasts the PATRIOT Act, using it as a prime example. Considering that the PATRIOT Act doesn’t take the Constitution into account, Dr. Paul is correct and really the only person on stage who can see the forest for the trees.

Mitt Romney rambles about his moral compass. Bachmann says that the Federalist Papers asked, “What’s the measure of a man?” Gingrich, knowing that all this talk is really just meant for him, says that he’s made mistakes and gone to God for forgiveness and that people need to measure him now, today and decide if they can trust him or not.

Due to his seemingly controversial stance on the deportation of illegal immigrants, Newt is asked what his criteria would be for judging who should be deported or not. Newt says that the illegal immigrant in question would need to be in the U.S. for 25 years, have an American family sponsoring them and have real ties in America, such as having had a family. Newt says that there would be an agency in place to deal with all of this on a case by case basis.

Romney says that we must first secure the border, then we can talk about the people that are still here illegally. Rick Perry says that this country needs to enforce the laws that are already on the books. Everyone is in agreement that the border needs to be secure.

On the subject of Israel and the Middle East, Ron Paul says that he doesn’t agree with Newt Gingrich’s recent remarks that the Palestinians aren’t a real people. He calls for a noninterventionist foreign policy and says that nations need to deal with their own problems in their own way.

Newt responds by sating that his remarks about Palestinians were factually correct. Newt has the crowd really confused. Newt then says that pro-Palestinian terror group Hamas says that Israel and Jews shouldn’t exist. Newt calls the Palestinians terrorists due to their involvement with Hamas.

Mitt agrees with Newt except on the part about Palestinians being “a made up people”. Romney wants us to stand with Israel. Newt says that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a propaganda war based off of fake facts about Palestinians being a group of people that have a long history, he says that that isn’t the case and that there was no talk of Palestinians before the 1970′s. We then get round two of Newt, Mitt, Newt, Mitt, Newt, Mitt. C’mon moderators! Break the fucking cycle! Why are these guys allowed to monopolize all the time?!

Bachmann is asked who won the Mitt-Newt argument, as if any of us care. She goes on to tell some dumbass story about her trip to Israel that has nothing to do with the question, it is just some crappy stunt to waste time. Thank fuck it wasn’t sprinkled with remarks about Obamacare. Santorum is also asked who won the stupid time-wasting battle between Newt and Mitt but he doesn’t answer either! He just talks about standing shoulder to shoulder with our allies. Please stop inviting Bachmann and Santorum to these things! If Johnson and Huntsman can’t come, they shouldn’t be there either. At least Huntsman and Johnson have substance.

Rick Perry says that this whole thing is a minor issue that the media is blowing out of proportion. He reminds us that Obama is causing problems in the Middle East by being a shitty friend to Israel. Also, Obama didn’t engage Iran back in 2009, which is when Perry feels like he should have. Another example Perry gives, is that Obama just stood off to the side during the Egypt crisis and allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the country. Rick Perry talks about how disgusted he is over Iran capturing one of our drones. He says that Obama did nothing about getting it back or destroying it and now it will be reverse engineered by our enemies.

Everyone is then asked about a time when they were in financial troubles and what they had to sacrifice. Perry talks about his childhood poverty and gives us the best quote ever, which was ”Luxury wasn’t really in my lexicon.” Mitt Romney says that his dad was poor but worked hard and provided well for him as a child. He says that his dad taught him how not to be poor. Ron Paul says that he was raised during World War II and the Great Depression. He said that he struggled and medical school was hard but they did okay because his wife worked as he handled his education. Ron Paul uses this “talk about poverty” time to tell us that when a country destroys its currency it transfers money from the middle class to the wealthy. Santorum jumps in saying that he had a modest upbringing and his biggest blessing was married parents that made him feel safe. Aw, that’s cute. Bachmann goes on an anti-Wall Street rant. Yep we know, you didn’t support the bailout but how the fuck does this address the question? She then gets on topic and says that she came from a middle class family but after her parents divorced, they fell below poverty level and she had to help the family out by working at an early age. Newt said that he lived above a gas station.

Now the shitty moderators bring up the individual mandate issue AGAIN! We already fucking covered this shit but whatever, let’s beat this dead horse until it’s nothing more than a pile of pulverized guts and hair. Mitt says that states can do what they want to do as that is what the 10th Amendment says. Newt is again asked about his individual mandate position again. Fuck! Can we move on from this and can we move on from Mitt and Newt for fuck’s sake? But no, Diane Sawyer keeps hammering this goddamned issue. And while mentioning her, I can’t help but to make mention that Diane Sawyer’s lazy eye was looking horrible during this debate. Her one-eyed face looked like Mumm-Ra’s cock.

Ron Paul says the government needs to be a referee but we can’t institute a society where government tries to protect people from themselves. Dr. Paul points out that people bitch about Obamacare using force against us but government in and of itself IS force and it violates the whole concept of our revolution and the Constitution. Paul owning the suckas once again!

Pushing the 10th Amendment, Rick Perry says that health care should be the state’s call. He then goes on his regular “part-time congress” rant. I’m surprised that it took him this long to drop it into the debate. Ooh, commercial break.

When they come back from break, the moderators ask the candidates what they have learned from their challengers. Santorum says he used to listen to Newt’s tapes which motivated him to run for Congress. I bet he masturbated to them. Rick Perry says he got intrigued by Ron Paul’s stance on the Federal Reserve and gives him props for fighting that fight. I get a warm fuzzy feeling because I think that Perry and Paul are going to share a cruller after the show. Mitt also gives Paul props by saying that he loves the enthusiasm of Paul supporters. Essentially, Mitt admitted that Paul generates the most loyalty and enthusiasm and in effect is the best leader. Thanks Mitt! Newt gives props to Perry in regards to his strong 10th amendment stance. He also loves Santorum for his “courage” on Iran. Ron Paul talks about freedom and doesn’t really say anything positive about the other candidates as he knows that they are all pretty much enemies of the Constitution. Bachmann goes on a pro-Cain, pro-999 rant for a third fucking time! Doesn’t she remember how much she hated it just a few months ago? And she gives us the stupid, “I’m bringing the win win win plan!” Barf! What a fucking loon! Has this nimrod even looked at her fucking polling numbers?

And with that, the debate is over. I don’t honestly know how many more of these I can sit through. I made it a point to watch all of them and to document them, so I can expose the bullshit that these people throw out. I feel that I have to go through these debates line by line and break down the fallacious arguments that these self-promoting jackasses try to pass off as legit. Truth be told, this is more taxing than I ever thought it would be. However, do not fret, I will see this thing through to the end and luckily I only have another dozen or so to sit through and chronicle. I can’t wait until April when the debates are behind us.
