Just when you thought Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was down; like a phoenix, he rises from the ashes.

Tebow and the Broncos were last seen Saturday night walking off the field after getting shellacked by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

The former Florida Gators quarterback couldn’t muster any offense in the game and was outclassed on the field by Brady.

But, Tebow has been a ratings draw for CBS and now, the network wants to get Tebow in the studio this Sunday for the AFC Championship game.

According to USAToday.com, CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said CBS has had conversations with Tebow’s people and are waiting to hear back from the popular quarterback.

McManus said CBS is hoping to hear from Tebow by midweek.

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.

Grading Scale:
Grade A: Ron Paul
Grade C-: Newt Gingrich
Grade D: Rick Perry
Grade D-: Mitt Romney
Grade F: Rick Santorum
Grade F-: Michele Bachmann
Grade I: Jon Huntsman
Grade I: Gary Johnson

As we postulated when the scandal broke, the Fast and Furious program that saw the ATF deliver guns into the hands of Mexican drug gangs was admittedly exploited to demonize the second amendment and push new gun control regulations.

“Documents obtained by CBS Newsshow that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation “Fast and Furious” to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales.”

Emails obtained by the network show ATF agents discussing how they could tie guns involved in Mexican violence to gun dealers based in the U.S. to justify the implementation of Demand Letter 3, a regulation that would require U.S. gun stores to report the sale of multiple rifles.

One of the emails states, “Bill – can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time. We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long gun multiple sales. Thanks.”

The emails show ATF members congratulating each other for blaming border violence on guns bought from U.S. dealers despite the fact that the feds were the ones delivering them straight to Mexican criminals under the program.

Other emails document how gun dealers involved in the program expressed concern that their firearms were ending up in the hands of “the bady guys,” only to be reassured by the ATF “there’s nothing to worry about.”

One law enforcement source told CBS News that the emails suggested the ATF created the problem itself as part of a political ploy.

“It’s like ATF created or added to the problem so they could be the solution to it and pat themselves on the back. It’s a circular way of thinking,” the source said.

I almost don’t want to write about this debate because it was utter fucking shit! But then I thought about it and since I’ve written about every other debate, except the first one back in May, I felt it necessary to continue chronicling my thoughts and analysis and to use my disgust over this shit debate to my advantage. It amazes me that the top network in the world was able to produce such garbage but CBS pulled it off brilliantly!

To start, the set looked morbid, not to mention small. It’s like CBS threw this thing together last minute and were lucky enough to find the only National Guard Armory in America that wasn’t running a local wrestling show that night. Not to say that the entertainment provided wasn’t similar to a small town wrestling show, it was. Granted the heated rivalries weren’t turned up to maximum but the show did feel like it was scripted. Oddly enough, there is some leaked info that came out to support this wild theory. More on that at the end.

The moderators were hot garbage and the format was weak. The worst part about this whole thing is that it was a 90 minute debate and not 120 minutes like all the others. Not only that, but the last half hour was cut off in favor of running an episode of NCIS. I guess a shit forensics show is more important than listening to potential presidents having a much needed discussion on foreign policy. So, I, like many others who are more interested in our future than a cookie cutter crime show had to watch the last 30 minutes on the Internet. I don’t know if it was just me or if other people had the same problem, but the live feed cut out a few times and at the end, I lost 6 out of the final 10 minutes. Whatever, it’s not like CBS was taking any of this seriously anyway.

CBS does the standard introductions and everyone gets a pop, it is worth noting that Ron Paul got the loudest ovation from the South Carolina crowd. Being that this debate was primarily focused on foreign policy, it should’ve been expected that Ron Paul’s answers would upset the conservative establishment. Shit, Bachmann was ready to swing on Ron Paul a few times. I’ll get to that shortly.

Kicking things off, Herman Cain gets the first question, which is basically about his strategy for dealing with Iran, whom many conservatives feel is a crazy enemy that is on the brink of developing nuclear weapons just so they can terrorize Israel as well as us. Cain, subscribing to standard GOP theory on Iran says that he would place warships all over the Middle East strategically. Theoretically, he believes that this will deter Iran from using weapons on us. Yep, let’s build our military up in their backyard and point our guns at them so they don’t point their guns at us. We will force peace!

When the issue of Iran moves over to Mitt Romney, he says that if Obama is re-elected, Iran will become weaponized. Mitt says that if he is president, he will wave his magic wand which will make Iran’s nuclear progress disappear. Romney says that Iran having weapons is unacceptable but it is okay for the United States and its allies to be armed to the teeth. Only we can have the guns. Sounds like something a bully would want. Mitt Romney reminds me of the kid that would only play Nintendo with a Game Genie.

Unfortunately for those of us who have an appreciation for Newt “Honey Badger” Gingrich, our love was thwarted a bit when Mr. Badger admitted that he liked Romney’s answer on the Iran situation. Things like this are why I cannot get behind Newt Gingrich. Where he has won me over on several points, to support Romney’s misguided logic here, is just careless and dangerous. Essentially, guys like Romney, Gingrich and Cain are the ones changing the oil in the American imperialist machine.

Ron Paul steps in with an astute observation and likens the talk in the debate thus far over Iran to the war propaganda pimped out by the media and the fear-mongers leading up to the invasion of Iraq. If you remember, we went there to stop Saddam Hussein from using his cache of nuclear weapons against us. We quickly discovered that no such weapons existed. Although we are still there a decade later, which means that the threats sold to the American people weren’t the real catalyst for war. So what is the real catalyst for war with Iran? That is what we are building towards isn’t it?

Rick Perry ads to the war propaganda by saying that we need to use our power and influence to collapse the Iranian banking system. Yes idiot, let’s send the whole country completely into the dark ages to make our point. Let’s cripple them all so that they starve, shoot and kill each other. Let’s start our mission of peace through war by completely disrupting their lives and forcing them to suffer. One’s gotta love these humanitarian conservatives.

Dork Dick Santorum gets pissy like the little bitch he is because he wasn’t asked the Iran question. Santorum espouses some nonsense and then says vthat he defines victory as “no longer a security threat”. Hmm.. well, what if they aren’t a threat to begin with? These conservatives are always chasing phantoms and boogeymen.

Bachmann looks somewhat normal this round, I can’t really knock her fashion choice for this debate even though she looks like a woman at a funeral in a western film. Shit, I just knocked her, ah well. She talks a bunch of gibberish I can’t really hear over the sound of my urine hitting the side of the toilet bowl. “Bachmann” has become Minnesotan for “piss break” as far as I’m concerned.

When Huntsman is brought into this foreign policy debate, he says that we need to stop nation building oversees and focus on rebuilding our own nation, as it is suffering. His observation brings light to the fact that our problems at home need to be addressed before we can even really think about expanding military action in other regions. Talk like this is why conservatives claim that Huntsman is running in the wrong party. Talk like this is why I sometimes like what Huntsman has to say because at least it differs from the large helping of bullshit served up by most of the candidates in this race, excluding Ron Paul and Gary Johnson.

Truth is, where I do not like Huntsman on most things, he does understand foreign policy better than most of the people on the stage and should have some sort of cabinet position, even if it is being the ambassador to China once again. Although, that might not work since the Chinese government associates Huntsman with the Jasmine Revolution, which saw young Chinese taking to the streets protesting the need for democracy in Red China. The Chinese government also went as far as to censor Jon Huntsman from search results on the Internet.

When Mitt Romney is asked if he would talk directly to the Taliban in order to bring forth peace in Afghanistan, he proudly proclaimed that he “..will NOT negotiate with terrorists!” Of course this got a loud pop. What he really meant to say was that the world better do things his way or they were going to be licking the shit off of his Salvatore Ferragamo python loafers.

Newt comes into the debate next and is asked how we can bring about peace in Afghanistan without negotiating with the Taliban. Newt points out that the Taliban has a sanctuary in Pakistan and informs us that it is Iran and Pakistan, two countries that border Afghanistan that are the ones we need to be focusing on.

Herman Cain says that it isn’t clear whether or not Pakistan is a friend or an enemy. He says that clarity is missing. Um.. dude, just pay attention. Didn’t Mark Block put down his cigarette long enough before the debate to hand you some notes? You’ve got to be prepared for these things and stop getting caught with your pants down, pun intended.

When the issue of foreign aid comes up, Rick Perry says that every country needs to be sent a clear message. Perry’s clear message is to make everybody start at zero dollars. Perry says that it is real clear that Pakistan is sending us a message that they don’t deserve our aid.

Bachmann vehemently disagrees with Perry, which I stayed to listen to as I didn’t have to pee at that moment. Michele, instilling fear, points out that Pakistan has a nuke and that the Al-Qaeda is close by. Bachmann, instilling even more fear, says that the table is set for nuclear war between Israel and its enemies.

Okay, so by this logic, Bachmann would rather give foreign fucking aid to a bunch of anti-American fucksacks in order to keep them at bay. Really lady? Are you shitting me? So you’re like one of those business owners that pays the mafia’s “protection fee” once a month to keep them from vandalizing your store. You’re too much of a goddamned fear turtle to run the show.

Newt agrees with Rick Perry and adds that countries receiving foreign aid should have to explain to us why they need it. He also warns that the Arab Spring is becoming the Anti-Christian Spring, which shows that we do need to go through the list of countries that we give foreign aid to, so that we can stop wasting it on those that aren’t even our friends.

Santorum jumps back into the debate and says that we must make sure that Pakistan is our friend because they have nukes. Okay, so with this idiot’s dumb ass logic we should be besties with North Korea since they hate us and are estimated to have 6 to 8 WMDs. Shit, maybe we should stop bashing Iran and send them some gift baskets full of love and Reese’s peanut butter cups before they point their superweapons back at us. Conservatives are confusing.

The debate shifts back to Newt who bitchslaps a gotcha question like the pro he is. He talks about Iran and North Korea and says that he would manage those situations with the same strategy Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II used against communism. Newt says that we need to build up the Navy. He also says that he would reevaluate our relationship with the United Nations.

Rick Perry is asked how he would manage America’s nuclear weapons if he were to eliminate the Department of Energy. Perry says that he would surround himself with the best advisors and he would consult them on it. Homie is sounding a lot like Herman Cain.

We move on to the torture part of the debate where the only two sane people in the room are Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman. Cain kicks it off by saying that he is against torture but would trust the military to make the right decisions. Once again, Cain puts his trust in others to lead. Is this really who you want to waste a fucking vote on? Maybe Godfather’s Pizza was successful because of Cain’s advisors not because of Cain. Then again, they are only the 9th biggest pizza chain in America. Cain also says that waterboarding is not torture, that it is just “enhanced interrogation”. Yep, so is a testicle in a vice dude.

The moderators turn to Bachmann. She thinks that waterboarding is super fun.

Ron Paul points out that waterboarding is bullshit and that it is torture. He says that it is impractical, ineffective and that it has never been proven to work. He also states that it is un-American on principle alone. Crazy Eyes Bachmann starts shouting out of her shit pipe for the moderators to allow her to battle it out with Ron Paul but they ignore her. Jon Huntsman cuts in and says that waterboarding is indeed torture and warns us against using it.

The subject of presidents using their executive power to assassinate American citizens, without arrest or a trial, comes up and Mitt Romney chimes in. Romney says that it is okay if the citizen is deemed a terrorist. Okay, well shitpickle, any American can be deemed a terrorist if one goes by the guidelines laid out for what constitutes a potential terrorist in the MIAC Report. Mitt Romney is a tyrant without power, hopefully he doesn’t get power.

Newt makes a point to say that if you engage in war against the United States, that that makes you an enemy combatant and the rules change because war is war. This is a seemingly solid point but the word “war” isn’t as clearly defined as some might think. Once again, refer to the MIAC Report and see what constitutes a potential threat to national security.

The debate moves towards our relationship with China where the optimistic Rick Perry says that he believes that China will have the same fate as the Soviet Union because China doesn’t have the virtues that America has. The virtues that Perry is referring to are those same virtues that made him try to force needles into the arms of young girls in Texas. Perry also says that we must fight the cyberwar and we must win it.

Mitt is asked how he would prevent a second Cold War, this time with China. Mitt goes through his spiel about how China is a currency manipulator and how they don’t play by the rules, etcetera, etcetera, et-fucking-cetera. Mitt says that China has to be forced to play by the rules and that he would bring an action against them to the World Trade Organization. Romney says that contrary to his critics fears, he will not start a trade war because we are already in a trade war.

Huntsman is asked to give his two cents on Romney’s stance. Huntsman says that you cannot bring an action against China to the WTO. He also says that the key to reaching out to China is the young people. Remember earlier when I mentioned that China felt that Huntsman was somehow associated with the Jasmine Revolution? Well, Huntsman points out that the young people of China are fighting against the older generation and those in power who are stuck in their tyrannical communist ways. Huntsman lets us know that the future in China could be drastically different than what we know now. Where I stand, I can only hope that what will probably be a hard-fought and hopefully non-violent revolution ends up a success. The young people of China are hungry and they are tired of being subservient pawns to an overbearing state. Huntsman assures us that China’s Internet generation will bring down the tyranny in their country.

Rick Perry is then asked if his zero dollar foreign aid policy would apply to Israel. Perry says that Israel would also be reset to zero. Perry is then cut off as he starts to explain how he would handle Israel. Why is Perry cut off? Well, CBS tells us that the televised portion of the debate is over because NCIS is coming on. The audience at home is told to tune in on CBS.com to watch the last half hour of the debate.

The Internet only portion of the debate kicks off with Michele Bachmann painting a birdhouse.. just kidding. Actually, Bachmann says that we need a fixed cost system for the military. She says she will modernize military spending.

Herman Cain is asked about the Obama administration’s handling of the Middle East. Cain says that the Obama administration has mishandled all of the recent Arab uprisings but doesn’t really explain why.

Ron Paul is asked about Syria and he states that it is wrong for the United States to get involved in the problems of all these other countries. He says that it is wrong of us to go in and prop up dictators, which has been our history with similar situations. Paul points out that every time we do this sort of thing, it creates worse problems. Ron Paul gets cheers but the moderators cut him off before he can finish his quick rundown. Funny, because they let almost everyone else go over on their time.

Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich both agree that they would use covert activity to take out Assad. Chances are, he would be dragged around in the street, shot like a dog and then be sodomized to death with a knife just like Gaddafi was. Or they would just assassinate him like Osama bin Laden. Mitt Romney says that it is very important that we help Syria get rid of Assad and give them a new leader. Jesus people, do any of you listen to the common sense being dropped on you by Ron Paul? Have any of you ever picked up a fucking history book?

Herman Cain and Rick Santorum both admit that they would leave Gitmo open. They also say that they would continue to allow “enhanced interrogation” tactics.

Ron Paul attempts to educate the other conservatives again. He states that we have a bad foreign policy and we pretend we are at war with everyone. He points out that we have gone as far as assassinating American citizens, even a 16-year-old kid, the son of Anwar al-Awlaki, who’s death has been widely ignored and unmentioned by the mainstream media. Ron Paul says that in regards to torture and assassination, even our leaders have to live within the constraints of the law. Ron Paul is owning these cockpuppets and then Bachmann starts yelping like a fucking Yorkshire Terrier in an effort to respond to Ron Paul. Once again, the moderators ignore Bachmann’s pleas and tell her that there are rules to follow.

Rick Perry, who is up next, disagrees with Ron Paul. Perry declares that “THIS IS WAR!” and goes on to tell us about how we have to do certain things when we are at war. Jesus, it’s like these people are just locked in this war mode and completely oblivious to their own insanity. It’s like our leaders are programmed to perpetuate this aimless blind madness forever!

Bachmann finally gets her moment and actually compares the death of Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki. She treats them as if they are one in the same, even though one was a citizen and one was not. Granted both were enemies of the state but there is something fundamentally wrong with our country when its leaders kill its own citizens without a trial, regardless of the situation. If you can’t see why, fuck you.

The only way a citizen, even one aligned with terrorists, should be murdered without a trial is if he happens to be caught in a crossfire or a battle and is slain. If this citizen turned terrorist was found by intelligence and then targeted for death by an unmanned drone, there is something incredibly wrong with that. If he tries to evade capture and is shot, that is understandable but to send a robot to terminate him like a T-1000 hunting down John Connor is something that evil machines do, not human beings. Then again, we are dealing with imperialistic bastards here.

Jon Huntsman gets the conch again and tells us that our debt is our biggest national security problem. He pimps out the Paul Ryan Plan and also mentions that he believes that education should be handled at a state level.

They bring in “Tutti Frutti” Bachmann again, a name given to her by Herman Cain (see here). She goes on some weird tirade about how she hates LBJ and how great China is for not having LBJ’s “Great Society”. Huh? What she is saying is that the United States should be more like China because China doesn’t have a welfare system. Yes, she wants us to be less socialist like communist China.

Herman Cain is then asked a military question and he can’t answer it! C’mon man! Well, he does technically answer it, he just says that he would put his trust in his advisors to make the right decisions. Alright dude, are we voting for you or a team of advisors? Do we even need you? Can we just have the advisors then? What the fuck is this guy doing up there? It’s time to leave the big kids table and stop making an ass out of yourself. Rachel Maddow was right when she called your campaign “performance art” and god I hate saying Maddow was right about anything. Thanks a lot Mr. Cain! Now could you conservatives stop giving this guy an endless supply of mulligans? It’s like he’s using the Konami Code and has 30 lives!

With 10 minutes left my Internet dropped the feed. I got it back 6 minutes later with only 4 minutes left in the debate. I probably didn’t miss much.

Huntsman talks about how he has worked with Pakistan in the past and how most of the other candidates don’t get it. He tells us that they are incredibly hard to work with. Throwing money at them isn’t the answer.

Rick Perry is asked about the euro versus the dollar. He starts by saying that the euro was created to compete with the dollar but, just like 30 minutes earlier, he is cut off by the moderators who say we’re all out of time. These asshole moderators are shitty fucking timekeepers and horrible at managing debates. Fuck Major Garrett and his butt buddy.

God, this debate was fucking crap! It was painful to watch and it was just a big ass joke. It was obvious that the debate was structured in such a way that the most time was given to Romney, Cain and Gingrich. Ron Paul only had a total of 89 seconds in the one hour televised portion! He was cut off again and again and so were the other candidates that aren’t the mainstream media’s darlings. Hell, even Rick Perry, who was once their darling, was shitted on pretty hard.

Now I know that seems like conspiratorial nonsense but there was an e-mail sent to Michele Bachmann’s campaign staff from CBS that leaked out (I posted a story on it here). The e-mail basically admits that the decision to limit the time of certain candidates was deliberate on the part of CBS.

Here’s a piece of the story I posted earlier, which is written by Prison Planet’s Paul Joseph Watson:

As Marc Fortier points out, an email inadvertently sent to Michelle Bachmann’s campaign clearly indicates that certain candidates were given less air time as a result of a deliberate CBS policy.

When a CBS staffer referenced how Bachmann’s campaign had made representatives available for an after-debate webshow, CBS News political analyst John Dickerson responded by saying, “Okay let’s keep it loose though since she’s not going to get many questions and she’s nearly off the charts in the hopes that we can get someone else.”

Dickerson’s admission that CBS had deliberately ensured Bachmann was “not going to get many questions” during the debate indicated “a planned effort to limit questions to Michele Bachmann at tonight’s CBS/National Journal Debate,” the Bachmann campaign said in a statement.

Obviously, that policy of limiting air time to certain candidates was also applied to Congressman Ron Paul, despite the fact that he has consistently won straw polls and proven himself as a top tier candidate in national polls.

As we have documented, despite his popularity the establishment media has deliberately downplayed and sidelined Paul’s campaign.

After Ron Paul finished a close second to Bachmann in the highly regarded Ames straw poll, and was subsequently blacklisted by the corporate press, Politico’s Roger Simon said the reason for him being ignored was that “the media doesn’t believe he has a hoot in hells chance of winning the Iowa caucuses, the Republican nomination or winning the presidency, so we’re gonna ignore him.”

“We are in the business of kicking candidates out of the race,” CNN host Howard Kurtz responded.

It’s a fucked up crazy race people and the media is doing everything it can to try and shape the results. It’s up to us to make our own decisions and to speak up when they try and pull these kind of bullshit stunts.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi fired back Sunday at a CBS News’ “60 Minutes” report that highlighted several instances of what it suggested could be “soft corruption.”

The show looked at the investments of various lawmakers — including Pelosi, House Speaker John Boehner and Republican Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama — who reportedly bought stocks around the same time legislation involving those investments was being discussed.

Pelosi and her husband participated in an initial public offering of Visa in 2008, according to CBS. They bought 5,000 shares at the initial price of $44; two days later, shares were trading at $64, CBS said.

The network reported the investment came at the same time a piece of legislation that was opposed by credit-card companies was making its way through the House.

Leaked email to Bachmann campaign indicates decision to limit air time for certain candidates was deliberate CBS News policy.

Congressman Ron Paul was a victim of what later transpired to be a deliberate policy on behalf of CBS News to restrict the air time of certain candidates during last night’s Republican debate, after he was afforded just 90 seconds of speaking time during the course of the event in South Carolina last night.

Paul’s campaign reacted furiously to the Texan being limited to 90 seconds in what was a 90 minute-long debate, with Campaign Manager John Tate blasting out an email entitled “What a Joke,” in which he stated, “It literally made me sick watching the mainstream media once again silence the one sane voice in this election. The one dissenter to a decade of unchecked war. The one candidate who stands for true defense and actual constitutional government. Ron Paul was silenced, in perhaps the most important debate of the cycle.”

More evidence the OWS movement is devolving into a cheering section for establishment Democrats.

A poll conducted by CBS and the New York Times reveals that 43 percent of respondents agree with the aims of the movement, while just 27 percent say they disagree.

“That’s a good start, and if the movement can help turn the 2012 election into a populist uprising against the moneyed classes, it could play right into Democratic hands — particularly at a time when the Democrats need more enthusiasm,” reports theWashington Post.

During an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation on Sunday, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa acknowledged that an almost identical program to Fast and Furious, in which the federal government trafficked guns directly to suspected criminals, existed under the Bush administration.

Issa’s comments about a similar program being operational under the Bush administration appear at the 3:50 mark (in the video above).

“We know that, under the Bush administration, there were similar operations, but they were coordinated with Mexico,” Issa, R-Calif., said. “They made every effort to keep their eyes on the weapons the whole time. So we’re not, per se, saying that tracing weapons is a bad idea.”

Now (w/ Herman Cain’s response)

Then

The chief of the New York Police Department says city police could take down a plane if necessary.

Commissioner Ray Kelly tells CBS’ “60 Minutes” that after the Sept. 11 attacks, he decided the city couldn’t rely on the federal government alone. He set about creating the NYPD’s own counter-terrorism unit. He says the department is prepared for multiple scenarios and could even take down a plane.

Kelly didn’t divulge details but said “obviously this would be in a very extreme situation.”
