It’s that time again yet it feels like it’s that time again every couple of days. Tonight we get to witness more of America’s decaying sanity as “We the Sheeple” vote for either Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum across the board in three primaries. Now, I don’t know if that is going to happen but based off of the way things have gone down thus far, one can only assume. So expect some anger and dissatisfaction my loyal lovers of liberty because tonight will just be another episode of ‘Three Bastards and a Wizard’ streamed to you live from multiple corporate media channels in HD with Dolby Surround.

This race has been a slow and tortuous affair that seems to have no end in sight even though the outcome is pretty goddamned obvious at this point. Between the hardcore and unrelenting mainstream media bias as well as the blatant and documented accounts of voter fraud, the primaries in Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia will certainly be no different. Hell, DC is where the establishment den of vipers holds court and Maryland is just a part of the twisted and sick Capital Beltway, so I expect a special breed of shenanigans to take place in these contests. I’d hate to put the citizens as a whole, of these two places, on the chopping block and I recognize that many of them are going to do the right thing today but I do not put it passed their leaders to have stacks upon stacks of aces hidden up their slimy sleeves. Am I being pessimistic? Fuck no, I am being realistic and to not expect the schemers to be on their “A” game after what has happened in the GOP primary thus far is irresponsible and shows a complete lack of awareness. Be vigilant people!

So let’s look at what we are facing tonight.

Wisconsin is the state that has the most delegates at stake tonight with 42, Maryland has 37 delegates on the line and Washington DC has 19. This is a total of 92 delegates which is just under 10 percent of the big number needed to win the Republican Party’s nomination. Wisconsin and Maryland will give out their delegates proportionally based off of the votes, whereas the District of Columbia is a “winner-takes-all” situation. My prediction is that Santorum will take Wisconsin and Romney will take Maryland and DC. I could potentially see Paul come in second in DC but then again, those people are constantly in an irate frenzy and they certainly love their statist lifestyle. The youth vote could make a difference but the DC youth is really Barack Obama’s to manipulate and control.

Truth be told, it doesn’t really matter what happens tonight as it will just continue the craziness that is modern politics. We are on a runaway train of economic and social genocide about to go over the police state cliff and into a large maelstrom that will be the end to everything we know. It’s all coming to a head and whether we are to be led by Obama, Romney or Santorum doesn’t matter. That’s like asking who would you rather have run Hell: Lucifer, Belial or Beelzebub?

So I don’t have much to add to this diatribe of distaste for our current and probably ongoing situation in America. I have to go to lunch, as I am starved due to my miniscule breakfast of half a bagel, and can’t really stomach any more of this bullshit. I will however give my two cents on the results of these particular primaries tomorrow. Here’s a spoiler alert for you: I will probably be pissed off. I’d pray for a miracle but Jesus doesn’t listen and, if he does exist, probably thinks that all this is hilarious. We really are God’s ant farm. I just wish the omnipotent bastard would shake us up every once in awhile. Then again, I guess it is more sadistic to sit back and watch us ruin ourselves.

The wife of presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Thursday that his rise in the polls is due to God working in mysterious ways.

“I personally think this is God’s will. I think He has us on a path, and I do think there’s a lot more happening than what we’re seeing,” Karen Santorum told Glenn Beck as she and her husband sat for an interview on his Web-based show, GBTV. “Personally I mean I think Rick’s a great guy, and he’s really smart and everything. But I think a lot more is happening than what we can actually see.”

Mrs. Santorum said she initially was reluctant to have him run for the White House — so much so that when Mr. Santorum approached her and asked her to pray about it, he said her initial reaction was that she wouldn’t even pray because “God couldn’t possible want you to do this.”

But she finally gave the go-ahead to her husband to run for the White House once she saw President Obama win passage of his health-care law, which she said “put the fire in my belly.”

She said the campaign has been challenging, and said some would “have to be crazy to want” to be president. But she said she and her husband escape that because for them “it’s completely a spiritual thing. This is God’s will.”

“The ‘want’ is a mission to make the culture a better culture, more pleasing to God,” Mrs. Santorum said. “For us it’s all about making the world a better place.”

Sitting with three of their children, the Santorums said the campaign has been educational for the children, and said they’ve thrived on the encouragement of the voters they’ve met along the way.

I’ve lost count of all the debates that we’ve had thus far but thank god we only have another half dozen or so, unless of course they decide to work more into the schedule somewhere. This one was thrown by Fox News and held in South Carolina as their primary is less than a week away. Fox News gave us Bret Baier and Juan Williams with Kelly Evans and Gerald Seib from the Wall Street Journal as moderators for this round. I should mention that answers in this debate have been expanded to ninety seconds, as the GOP field is now narrowed down to five. Yes, five.

The reason being, is that Jon Huntmsman dropped out of the race earlier in the day. Huntsman, who was great on foreign policy, jumped ship and announced his endorsement for golden boy Mitt Romney. What’s disappointing about that is Huntsman was incredibly critical of Romney even less than a week prior. Huntsman went as far as to call Romney “unelectable” but now he is supporting him as he sees him as the best chance at beating Barack Obama. Huntsman lost a lot of credibility with me due to his blooming Romney love. Maybe it’s a Mormon thing or maybe it’s because they are both actually cousins, which has been ignored by the media mind you. Whatever the reason, Huntsman is out and he’s now on the Romney train like so many other so-called “conservatives” that aren’t able to see their own progressive ways. At least Huntsman can go back to his regular job of walking around on eight legs and scaring the shit out of Australians.

Newt Gingrich gets the first question and he is asked about his ads that attack Mitt Romney’s business record and if he thinks they are justified. Newtie Bootie says that it is important to look at and analyze job creation. He then quickly gets in a Ronald Reagan name drop and follows it up with a second Ronald Reagan name drop when he said that he and Clinton came up with a Reagan-like program for job creation in the 90′s. Newt points to the fact that Mitt raised taxes in Massachusetts and was actually ranked 47th out of 50 states in the realm of job creation. He stole that talking point from Jon Huntsman. Gingrich adds that if Romney promotes his business skills as part of his campaign then he, as a rival candidate, has the right to question it. He is then asked what he thinks about the Wall Street Journal criticizing him and saying that he is “embarrassing himself” with his attack ads against Mitt Romney. Gingrich responds by saying that he isn’t intimidated by the media just because he is asking questions about candidates.

In an effort to respond, Mitt Romney says that he has real experience in job creation due to his time in the private sector. Mitt says that he learned a lot from working in the private sector, as opposed to the other candidates who have spent much of their time in the public sector. He talks about how four of the companies he helped establish have gone on to create hundreds-of-thousands of jobs. Mitt adds that his record is public and available to anyone that wants to analyze his job creation skills. He claims that he has continually demonstrated a record of success. Romney points out that the unemployment rate in Massachusetts when he left was 4.7 percent. He also throws in that he balanced the state budget every year.

Rick Perry, in an effort to make this debate all about Mitt, is asked about his comments where he referred to Mitt Romney as a “vulture capitalist”. Perry is also asked what he would put in place to curb vulture capitalism. Perry says that his record proves that he is a real capitalist. Really? Tweaking the law and protecting a company that you own a stake in from getting in trouble for distributing porn illegally is the actions of a real capitalist? You mean taking money from Merck and then attempting to force young girls to be vaccinated with Merck products is also the action of a real capitalist? Looks like Perry is a fucking vulture too from where I sit. He then goes on to bitch like a liberal about how Bain destroyed jobs. He then tells us that his record and income tax has been public for years and uses that to call out Mitt and then asks him to release his income tax information so that the public can see how he really made his money. Perry then rambles about killing Dodd-Frank and talks about how regulations are strangling America. He adds that he will get rid of some of the financial regulators. He didn’t say “all of them”.

Responding to Perry, as this is the Romney variety hour, Mitt blames the Chinese and their cheating ways for closing down the steel mills Rick Perry was blaming Mitt for closing. Romney says that he agrees with Perry about regulations but never really defends himself in a proper fashion other than pointing his finger at China. Romney, on the regulations issue, claims that he will end all Obama era regulations. I guess the regulations from the Bush era, the Clinton era and all other eras aren’t important.

So just when you think that’s over, Gerald Seib asks Romney a question! Fucking hell! Romney answers the question, which was abut his experience at Bain. He says that they often times consolidated plants and factories and if they closed one down, the workers were free to move to the new plant or factory. He points out though that many workers didn’t move as the new jobs didn’t come with union support.

Ron Paul is asked about his “scathing” attack ads and whether or not such ads should be abandoned. Well, considering he’s running them, I doubt he’ll feel that they should be abandoned, duh! Paul responds by saying that he is exposing voting records and in that case, his “attacks” are proper. He goes on to say that he couldn’t fit everything he wanted to in his anti-Santorum ad as there wasn’t enough time to get it all in. He then goes on to list all the dumb crap that Santorum voted for.

Thin skinned piss boy Rick Santorum says that Paul is quoting Soros-like leftist groups which discredits his facts because leftist groups attack conservatives. Santorum basically says that being attacked by leftist groups is a badge of honor and he’s proud of the distinction. What a stupid fucktard! It doesn’t matter what the source is, the fact is the facts are FACTS! You can’t just ignore your own voting record and try to spin it to the public as leftist propaganda! Santorum who voted for No Child Left Behind says that he would veto it now. Of course he would, he’s pandering to South Carolinians. He then defends his vote against “right to work” as he says that Pennsylvania wasn’t a “right to work” state. Santorum who is outraged over the attacks on himself is then put on the spot by Juan Williams who asks if Santorum’s own attack ads should be pulled. The crowd boos Juan because they are idiot assholes and Santorum goes on to says that his attacks are “positive”. He then gets all bitchy with Mitt about his attack ads while citing the fact that it is Martin Luther King Day to make some dimwitted point. Why do people support this whiney juvenile brat?

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum get in a spat about whether or not people who have committed violent crimes should be allowed to vote. I get bored to tears listening to them bicker as basically each candidate is trying to steal time from the other in order to make their lame ass points. While I’d like there to be some blood in these things, pink ass bitch blood isn’t as cool to see as the reddish bad ass real American blood. I was really just staring in awe waiting for these two Tinas to breakout with some limp-wristed slap fighting. And just when you think it’s over, Rick Perry jumps in the battle over who has the filthiest tampon.

Time monopolizer Mitt Romney is asked about Jon Huntsman’s recent criticism even though he came out and endorsed him. He is also asked how he can convince the voter that he won’t change his views in the future as he has a career as a flip-flopper. Mittens rambles on and on about how he was a pro-life governor contrary to popular belief and that he has always opposed gay marriage. However he adds that he is for equal rights for everyone including gays. Okay, so how is denying them marriage equal? Damn these Orwellian characters! Romney ends his soulless rant by saying that everything he has ever done and will do is about “strengthening America.”

In an effort to make himself relevant again, Rick Perry said that Texas was under assault by the federal government and then added that South Carolina was at war with Obama. The cheap pop attempt works and the crowd goes crazy. Too bad Perry is crazier than the crowd, he’s still deader than shit in this race. Perry talks about how the federal government is taking states to task on voter ID laws and immigration. He then says that Obama is at war with organized religion. Damn, Perry likes throwing the word “war” around. I’m starting to think he either doesn’t know what it means or it is just the answer to everything. “Obama is at war with peanuts! Send troops to the peanut farm! Obama is at war with puppies! Secure the entrance to PetLand!” Perry finishes by saying that Obama is out of control yet he fails to realize that he is foaming at the mouth and tweaking like an infant after two double espressos.

Santorum is asked if he would extend benefits for unemployment. Ricky Boy says that we need a reasonable time table for people to find a job but points out that 99 weeks is just too much. He goes on to say that this should be handled by the states and not the federal government. He calls for a job training program to be a part of unemployment benefits. Okay broski, how much will that shit cost? I’d imagine such a program would be expensive and even if we shortened the time one could collect benefits, the cost of this program could make all that moot. Truthfully, with the government being as wasteful as it is, this may cost us a shitload more than our current dilemma of 99 weeks. Also, when the hell has government done anything well? They certainly can’t offer a jobs program that will benefit anyone.

Gingrich jumps in the mix and agrees with Santorum that there should be a job training program. Okay idiots, what jobs are they training for and what happens when someone is six weeks into a program and decides that whatever they are training for is stupid and they want to get training in something else? Are people allowed to drop out and start over elsewhere and if so, how many times could they do this? Maybe once they start in something they are forced to finish it in order to get their benefits. Realistically, all this will do is waste more money as they will obviously stay in the program, collect the benefits and rack up more debt due to the cost of training them. What happens when they get out of the program? Well, I doubt they’d look for a job in the field they trained in if they grew to dislike it. Essentially this is a lose-lose for everyone but these statist shitcocks are blind to that reality. Newt Gingrich closes his statements on job programs by saying, “I’ll help you if you think helping yourself is good.” I shouldn’t even have to spell out what is wrong with that statement and I’m not going to.

Mitt Romney gives us another soulless rant. In this one he bitches about Obama’s business practices and use of crony capitalism. Romney says that the system of laws we have now work and that we don’t need government regulation. Is he living under a goddamned rock? The system of laws we have now IS government regulation. He adds that we need to open up markets and stop bailing people out. Right, he really wants to have free trade after all the smack he’s talked about China.

The idiot from Wall Street Journal Mr. Seib asks Ron Paul to explain his stance on cutting defense and more importantly on how his military plans would not cost South Carolinians jobs. Really? Is this a real question? Is this the best guy they could find to sit on the moderators’ panel? Ron Paul says that the moderator is confused about his position. He adds that he wants to cut military spending not defense and once again finds himself having to explain to the establishment conservatives for the umpteenth time over the course of these debates what the difference is between the two. Ron Paul says that cutting back on bases overseas would actually affect other countries not the United States. In fact, the U.S. would benefit greatly by bringing our troops home. Paul adds that the idea that this would make us weaker is “absolutely wrong”. Ron Paul is right on this because our presence is spread too thin throughout the world. He then points out that he raises more than twice as much money from the active duty military than all the other candidates combined! Slam dunk bitch! Watching this exchange is like watching Dr. Paul educate ADD-afflicted kindergartners in a college poli-sci class. Ron Paul finishes by quoting Eisenhower who warned about the “military industrial complex”. Paul slam dunks again when says, “We’re supposed to be conservative and that means spend less money!”

All the candidates are asked what the tax rate would be under them. Rick Perry says he will shoot for a 20 percent flat tax rate. Rick Santorum gives a weird answer because he’s probably never thought about this. Romney says that he would get us down to 25 percent but that is still too much. Newt calls for a 15 percent flat tax. Ron Paul then says that he would try to get us down to zero percent! He points to the fact that we didn’t have income tax before 1913 (well, excluding the Civil War era). His proposal is a reflection of how much he wishes to cut spending but the morons in the room can’t put two and two together and probably just think that Ron Paul’s still that crazy kook at the end of the bar. Paul also says that inflation is a tax and if he stopped inflation, we would be freed up from its hidden taxation.

Mitt Romney is asked if he will release his tax records soon. He gargles something about McCain and Bush and says that he hasn’t planned on releasing them. He says that he isn’t opposed to doing it however. He is then asked about his ties to Mexico and the crowd boos at the question. He is asked that if he has close ties to Mexico, why doesn’t he work towards helping Latinos and does he feel like his actions are alienating the Latino voters. Mitt says that Latinos, like all people, are interested in America because it is an “opportunity nation”. Mitt adds that he must communicate to all people that America can be better. He says that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be showed favoritism over those who have been waiting in line legally to enter this country. He then throws in that he would veto the DREAM Act.

Santorum starts pushing some mumbo jumbo about how if people get married before having children it’ll keep them out of poverty. He then blames Obama for everything and bitches about how public schools can’t promote marriage anymore. Santorum says that Obama is “..deliberately sabotaging young girls.” And Ron Paul is the crazy kook?

The moderators then ask Dr. Paul about racial disparities in drug related arrests and convictions. Paul says that it is very clear that racial disparity exists in both those convicted of drug charges and those sentenced to the death penalty. Paul points out that murderers often times get out of jail before drug offenders. He says that the drug war is bringing violence to our border and that it is the real border security issue of today.

Newt Gingrich is criticized about recent comments he made about blacks needing to ask for jobs instead of food stamps. He’s asked if he sees this sort of rhetoric as insulting to blacks, if not all people. Of course Gingrich says it isn’t insulting. He tells some weak story about how his daughter was a janitor at thirteen and how she loved making money and therefore black people should like it too. Juan Williams presses Newt further but gets booed by the South Carolinians in the crowd. What the fuck? Between this and the Romney-Mexico issue, these people are coming off as backwoods bigoted rednecks and people wonder why Republicans have that sort of stereotype! Newt adds that Obama has put more people on food stamps than any other president. While this may be true, it was the Bush administration that really got that ball rolling for Obama. In the end, Newt Gingrich doesn’t explain how his ideas help blacks, he just brushes it off and doesn’t bother dispelling the concerns brought up by the only minority on the stage or on the panel as a chorus of boos continue to be directed at that minority.

Ron Paul is then asked about comments he never made that he supposedly didn’t want to track down Osama bin Laden. Dr. Paul informs the moderators that he never said such a thing and that he voted for the military to apprehend the Al-Qaeda leader. Paul says his frustration was in how the situation was handled as we had the guy cornered before and didn’t go after him, instead we fucked around for a decade and then finally nabbed him almost ten years after 9/11. Paul adds that he wanted a properly executed mission but the whole situation was handled awfully. He then says that we need to respect other nations’ sovereignty and we need to follow proper procedures and not dig bigger holes for ourselves. Bret Baier takes a jab at Ron Paul and says that his stance on taking down terrorists is “to the left of Obama”. Ron Paul points out that we went in and got Saddam Hussein quickly. He then questions why acting quickly, capturing the enemy and detaining them to ask them questions is a bad thing yet waiting a decade and then flat out killing them is perceived as great.

Gingrich is asked if he would go into Pakistan to kill terrorists without getting permission from Pakistan first, even if doing so would end our relationship with Pakistan. Newt doesn’t answer the question, he just immediately attacks Ron Paul and says that Dr. Paul’s stance on foreign policy is “irrational”. Gingrich continues to ignore the question and goes on to just talk shit about Pakistan for continually reaping the benefits of foreign aid but not helping us militarily. Yep, because giving foreign aid apparently isn’t an act of kindness it is a transaction where we buy the countries we “aid”. Gingrich then channels Andrew Jackson and says, “Andrew Jackson had a clear cut idea about Americas enemies…KILL THEM!” This soundbite was met with thunderous applause because just like the establishment dickheads on stage, the majority of the South Carolinians in that building would rather murder someone who doesn’t like us than attempt to work towards a peaceful resolution.

Ron Paul then responds to Newt by saying that if other countries did to us what we do to them, we wouldn’t be cool with it. He then goes on to use the “golden rule” example and the rude crowd starts booing Ron Paul loudly! These people are sick! They are very vocally supporting murder and want to hear nothing of peace. This is the Republican stereotype that will continue to keep sane people away from their party. Paul doesn’t falter like other candidates however. He powers through his points, despite the evil jeers of the scumbags booing. Those of us that don’t condone unjustified cold-blooded murder and imperialism cheer from our living rooms because the oldest man in the room stood strong against the vehement hatred and hunger of hundreds of establishment zombies who only call a man crazy because they don’t have the brain power to understand him. I think it was Dave Chappelle who once said that people use the word “crazy” to describe things that they don’t understand. At this point, it doesn’t matter how many times Dr. Paul tries to educate the idiots, eventually you’ve got to just accept the fact that some people are ignorant and move on. Hopefully Dr. Paul learned this lesson but kudos to him for not faltering before these assholes. Another lesson learned, South Carolinians are rude as fuck.

So immediately after the sane man made his statements, Mitt Romney essentially went on a rant that we’ve got to “Kill! Kill! Kill!” and he actually said, “A bullet in the head is the right course of action.” Yep, this also got thunderous applause from the pro-murder sect of the Republican Party. Romney then went on to say that he would build a military so strong that no one would test the United States and thus, it would keep us out of war. He does realize that we go to war with everyone else first, not the other way around, right? I know.. I know, I’m giving this haircut too much credit.

Rick Santorum gets in ”Kill! Kill! Kill!” mode as well and starts bashing Obama for being what he deems as pro-Assad because we put an embassy in Syria. Yeah dude, why reach out and try to build a relationship when you can just shove bombs down their throats?! Santorum spins it into Obama being anti-Israel as Syria is in bed with Iran. Of course the racist “bomb the world” crowd cheers and cheers.

Perry has to get some ”Kill! Kill! Kill!” action too! He says that he wants to send a powerful message to Iran, Syria and Turkey. He takes a little bitch shot at Ron Paul because he’s a pandering redneck dickweed. He then goes on to defend the Marines that pissed on the dead Taliban soldiers which gets the asshole crowd on their feet. I get this feeling in my gut that the Sith have finally come out of hiding. Perry rambles on and on about decapitated soldiers in an attempt to excuse the heinous acts of our Marines. He then tries to explain that Obama is to blame as his bad policies affected the military. Huh? What? Is this dude drinking all the left over vaccinations he couldn’t force into young girls’ arms?

Here’s the kicker of the night however. Mitt Romney was asked about NDAA and he actually says that he would have signed it into law as Obama has! Romney gets a chorus of boos from the asshole crowd but this time I agree with them. Mitt demands more time so he can explain himself; time is granted and then he just rambles incoherently about it and about expanding military power. Okay, so unless you have been in the dark for months, Mitt Romney is for a Nazi-like law that allows the military to arrest and detain American citizens without due process! This guy is leading in the polls people!

Oh wait! Rick Santorum is also on board and he even tries to dispel concerns about the law proving that he is completely ignorant on the subject and incompetent as a decision maker. What does that tell you when a guy who has been a Washington insider, as long as Rick Santorum has, can’t understand a law that he is reading. Then again, the prick never even probably thumbed through the evil bill.

They quickly move over to Ron Paul and change the subject. Paul, who has been a big critic of the NDAA bill, requests time to talk about the issue. Paul is given the opportunity by the moderators. He talks about how the bill is tyrannical and how it destroys the 4th Amendment and our constitutional rights. He says that Americans being held indefinitely without habeas corpus is a horrible thing.

On sacred cow entitlements, Romney says that he would adopt the Paul Ryan Plan in regards to dealing with the Medicare problem. He goes on to say that he would provide “..higher benefits for lower income people and lower benefits for higher income people.” Yep, he’s not a progressive shitbag. Newt calls for the Chilean model on Social Security and adds that Social Security under his plan would be voluntary.

Rick Santorum is asked if his jobs plan is crony capitalism as it seems to pick winners and losers. Ricky Boy says that he would cut corporate taxes for everybody, so it’s fair. He then rants and raves about foreign competition. When the hell did our leaders turn into such pussies, so afraid of foreign competition? Man the fuck up and compete bitch! He then goes on to whine about regulations. Wait, isn’t he responsible for a lot of those? Baier signals that his time is up and Santorum snaps at Baier like the little Yorkshire lapdog bitch that he is. No one wants to hear your boring rant dipshit! Not even Fox News who has been the only force pimping you out! Santorum’s tantrum then turns over to Newt and they bicker back and forth and I zone out and go to the kitchen for a granola bar.

Juan Williams questions Mitt Romney’s consistency and asks him how he is pro-gun rights when he was the first governor to ever sign an assault weapons ban. Mitt tells Juan that he worked with both pro-gun and anti-gun groups on the legislation and they all agreed on it. He even mentions that he took a picture with the leaders of both groups when the bill was signed. He then talks about hunting elk and pheasants. Wow, you’re a tough cookie Mittens!

Santorum is asked about his anti-gun history and he goes on to say that all his votes were supported by the NRA. He said that they supported him signing certain laws because if they didn’t something worse might come down the pipeline. Oh c’mon! What a crock of shit! So you eat a small piece of poop today because you fear that if you don’t there might be a big piece of poop tomorrow?! No dude, you stand by your convictions and you kick both piles of poop and call it a day. Santorum is such a weak pushover hoe. He lets fear dictate his life, whether that’s fear of hypothetical future legislation or fear of a God he doesn’t even understand. Rick Santorum is of the old establishment mentality that you have to take away some rights in order to protect other rights. This guy is beyond stupid.

This discussion about guns carries over to Ron Paul who says that gun laws should be left to the state. Santorum then has to make it known that Ron Paul tried to do away with the 2nd Amendment! Really? God, doesn’t the Bible talk ill of liars? There goes Ricky Boy disappointing Jesus again! Ron Paul says that he would repeal anything that would ban guns. He then points out that Rick Santorum is just nibbling away at the Constitution for his own means.

Newt Gingrich goes on to defend himself from being accused of supporting China’s “one child policy”. He says that he never, in any way, supported that policy. He and Mitt then get into a pointless quarrel over Super PACs. Mitt days that he would get rid of Super PACs as they are corrupt and wrong. Rick Perry then closes out the debate talking about troops on the border and “aviation assets”. In his funny Texan accent he promises to “..lock the border down within a year after taking my hand off of that Bible.”

This debate was hard to watch. The audience was absolutely awful and even though I talked some shit about South Carolina, I hope that their attitudes and behavior doesn’t reflect that of the rest of the state. I guess we’ll find out as the next debate is also in South Carolina. If the crowd at that one is just as ridiculous, it’ll deter me from ever wanting to set foot in that state again!

In the end, Ron Paul did well, even with the whole world seemingly against him. It wasn’t his best performance but it was solid enough. I believe that Romney walked away weak, especially after his NDAA comments. Plus he just pandered and filibustered most of the debate. Newt did really well despite the Fox News and Wall Street Journal moderators trying to “gotcha” him to death and hang him out to dry. Rick Santorum is going to end up sucking gay dicks in Hell so I don’t care about him. Perry is probably going to drop the fuck out because again, he’s deader than shit in this race.

I tried to keep this one short and sweet but these idiots just give you so much material to rip apart and bash.

Santorum: 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex. 2. Senator Rick Santorum. – Definition take from the Urban Dictionary.

Politics are amazing. I mean, with certain candidates people are so quick to jump on every potential fault they come across but with other candidates, people are blind as fuck and only see what it is that they want to see. In the case of Rick Santorum, who is now technically a frontrunner, people are either blind or just absolutely fucking insane! I mean, how has this guy come from out of near obscurity to become a GOP frontrunner in just a couple of weeks? Those goddamned Iowans and their stupid caucuses have unleashed a beast on us and if this beast isn’t stopped dead in his tracks now, we will all pay greatly for this Iowan insanity.

Rick Santorum is the worst choice for president out of all the GOP candidates that have come and gone this election cycle and that’s a hard feat to pull off, as most of them are severely flawed. Santorum is a bigoted prick that wants to force us all to live within his corrupt Christian vision. His perfect America would be a Catholic dictatorship with him as de facto ruler. Abortions for rape victims would be outlawed, gays would be in prison or most likely slaughtered and we’d all be forced to stay married to assholes and raise our children as Bible-loving zombies who have to bow to Santorum first and God second. Maybe this seems extreme but after reading through a huge list of quotes from the man, this most assuredly would be his perfect version of the United States.

Hell, Santorum wants to force his brand of Christianity on the world. In fact, he is ready to go to war with pretty much every Islamic nation in an effort to prove his point. It’s actually better if I just let his words do the talking here:

“The idea that the Crusades and the fight of Christendom against Islam is somehow an aggression on our part is absolutely anti-historical. And that is what the perception is by the American Left who hates Christendom. … What I’m talking about is onward American soldiers. What we’re talking about are core American values.”

First of all “core American values” aren’t violence and aggression, his stance on that is “anti-historical”. Secondly, you can look at this and analyze it a few different ways but the point is, he does hold a lot of resentment towards Islam. In almost every single debate where any nation that is primarily a Muslim one has come up, he has preached for aggression towards them. He is so eager to go to war and drop bombs and throw sanctions on everything in an effort to perpetuate a religious war that should have died centuries ago. Rick is of the belief that these people simply want to kill us because we are a free white Christian nation. Santorum, like anyone else that shares this incredibly flawed and dangerous logic, is a fucking idiot that could benefit from picking up a book other than the Bible.

Now I am not trying to attack his Christian views, as I have no beef with any religion, but I am attacking the fact that if he actually read his sacred book and believed the words written across its pages, he would realize that his actions and his motivations are very unchristian. Anyone who believes that Santorum is right and that we should just aimlessly bomb all these “threats” is an accessory to murder. When looking at the bigger picture, the actions Santorum and several of his colleagues want this country to take aren’t that different than the cowardly actions of Al-Qaeda. One nation’s freedom fighters are another nation’s terrorists. Rick and those with his school of thought could benefit from actually listening to the words of Osama bin Laden and other terrorists who have explained over and over why they attack us. Apparently no one is getting the message because the actions that have caused these groups to take up arms against us are still being committed by our government everyday all over the world.

Stateside, his religious intolerance of things he doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to learn about have dug him into some pretty deep holes throughout the years. He has bashed homosexuality and has probably been the most anti-gay candidate since the horse and buggy days. As I did with the last subject, I’ll let Santorum’s idiot mouth spell it out for you:

“Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?”

He also said this:

“If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. … That’s not to pick on homosexuality. It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing.”

And:

“A lesbian woman came up to me and said, ‘why are you denying me my right?’ I said, ‘well, because it’s not a right.’ It’s a privilege that society recognizes because society sees intrinsic value to that relationship over any other relationship.”

God this guy is a fucking moron. I’m sorry and maybe it is my libertarian stance but I just can’t stand people, especially politicians, that are this vehemently opposed to gays. I could argue that this is modern times and not the 1700′s but fuck, everyone was gay back then. Dudes would marry their wives, not because they loved them but because it was a business transaction, and then they would go off with their friends and fuck young boys all night. As twisted as that may sound to some, this was common amongst the aristocracy of the day back then. Hell, the ancient Greeks who gave us democracy as well as major advancements in philosophy, maths, science, astronomy, law and language were some of the gayest people ever. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of art from that era that depict gay sex. It’s not some new freak thing that just happened in the last few decades. If Santorum had his way however, they’d all be sent to concentration camps or killed and used for dog food.

Santorum’s bigotry doesn’t just end with gays and lesbians, he actually said this about black people:

“I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money.”

Why did he single out black people? Aren’t whites, latinos and all other races on welfare? I guess Ricky Boy just sees this as a black thing. It doesn’t stop there, on President Obama’s race and pro-choice beliefs, Santorum said:

“I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say ‘now we are going to decide who are people and who are not people’.”

Jesus dude, this guy can’t be serious, right? Well, it doesn’t just stop with black people, gays, lesbians and Muslims. He said this about Mormons:

“Would the potential attraction to Mormonism by simply having a Mormon in the White House threaten traditional Christianity by leading more Americans to a church that some Christians believe misleadingly calls itself Christian, is an active missionary church, and a dangerous cult?”

Mormonism a dangerous cult? Funny, they’re not the ones wanting to bomb the everliving shit out of the world! They just want to have mad wives and lots of kids. If it is all consensual between the adults, what is wrong with that? Who the fuck is Rick Santorum to say what is and is not acceptable? What gives him that authority? Well, where he sits, it’s his complete misunderstanding of the Bible that gives him that authority.

You know, fuck all this social madness. I think it is pretty clear that this bastard is full of hate and intolerance and would just rather kill you than look at you if you aren’t living up to his moral code. So how does this piece of shit hold up as far as being a politician? Well, several watchdog groups throughout the years have added Rick Santorum’s name to the list of “Most Corrupt Members of Congress”. You see, Santorum is a big government asshole that shows no concern over our country’s economic woes. Truth is, he is a big reason why we are dealing with these economic woes right now.

Rick Santorum’s own book “It Takes a Family: Conservatism and the Common Good” really spelled out his philosophy on government and our daily lives. Basically, the book goes on to argue for more government intrusion into our lives at home. Santorum believes that it is the government’s role to dictate to parents and families how they should live. Of course, Rick wants the government to push a Christian agenda on everyone, which completely goes against everything that the Founding Fathers wanted for America. In his book, he supported several big government programs, such as national service, publicly financed trust funds for children, community investment incentives and economic literacy programs to be put in every school in America. That’s kind of funny though considering that Santorum had this to say about our education system:

“It’s amazing that so many kids turn out to be fairly normal, considering the weird socialization they get in public schools.”

Right, is what he is proposing not a form of socialization? This guy is a classic doublethinker or he just doesn’t think the rules apply to him because he is in the service of a higher power. Yep, that same higher power that told Michele Bachmann to run for president. Maybe people should stop talking to that higher power, he gives shitty advice. Then again, these are idiots trying to decipher something greater than themselves.

Rick Santorum also supported No Child Left Behind, the Medicare prescription drug benefit and other very costly pieces of legislation that were all a form of socialization and a contributor to our budget being out of control. He has always been a big supporter of earmarks and not just in his own state. Santorum was one of the idiots that was heavily in favor of the now infamous “Bridge to Nowhere”. The truth is, Rick Santorum is one of the biggest benefactors of earmarks in congressional history! According to a Rick Perry attack ad against Santorum and verified by Taxpayers For Common Sense, Santorum has received over a billion dollars in earmarks during his time in office!

In 2005 alone, Santorum received $483 million dollars in earmarks for 872 different projects! Defending himself on Fox News, Santorum said:

“I’m proud of the money that I did set aside for things that were priorities in my state instead of having bureaucrats do that.”

Santorum worked closely with Tim DeLay in developing the K-Street Project which was an effort by the GOP to put pressure on lobbyists to hire Republicans in their top positions as well as to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with special access to influential officials. Hell, Rick Santorum is a crony capitalist at his fucking core. This corporatist really needs to have his front lawn “occupied” by protestors. Santorum, like many others, used this as a tool to get free money to flow into his state. Of course there is no such thing as free money as it is us, the American citizens, who are paying for it now.

If you are a free trade person, good for you – that’s awesome. Unfortunately, Rick Santorum has been a long time opponent of free trade and true capitalism. He has spent his entire career backing higher tariffs on goods from other countries. He always has and still supports government intervention in the manufacturing industry. Rick Santorum feels that it is the government’s job to pick the winners and losers. Apparently this guy has never read anything from an Austrian economist or watched Milton Friedman’s series “Free To Choose”. If he had, Mr. Santorum would be very well aware of how his policies damage American interests stateside and abroad and how this just adds to our economic peril and rampant joblessness.

I could honestly go on and on about this worthless piece of shit but I don’t really think it’s all that necessary. Truth is, one could write a book about Rick Santorum and all the bullshit shenanigans this hate-mogering scumfuck was a part of. He is not what this country needs now or ever. He is a big reason why this country is in the shitter and electing him to be president would be the biggest mistake this country could make right now. In all honesty, I don’t see how this guy could be any better than Obama. In fact, I guaran-damn-tee that Rick Santorum would be much worse. You know how you see those signs with George W. Bush that say “Miss Me Yet?” on them? Well if Santorum became president, you’d see the same slogan attached to a picture of Barack Obama. Then again, being caught with such pictures in Santorum’s America would end with you being sent off to be a guinea pig in his Jesus indoctrination camps.

Hell, when your own nephew writes and publishes a piece urging people not to vote for you and instead to vote for Ron Paul, that’s saying a lot. When your own campaign staff is caught at a rally supporting Ron Paul, that should also tell you something. Rick Santorum is a statist shitcock that isn’t above turning the United States into a religious fascist dictatorship that will spend itself into oblivion. Those closest to him have warned us, yet people keep sending this douchebag money. The fact that he has made over two million dollars in the last two days is absolutely frightening.

It’s time to pay attention America!

Here’s a video showing how statist and liberal, yes liberal, this guy is. I didn’t even touch on his love of the Federal Reserve and dislike of the gold standard but this video hits it:

The 63-foot Sierra White Fir lighted at the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Dec. 6 as the official 2011 Capitol Christmas Tree includes a prominently displayed ornament paying homage to President Barack Obama, but includes no ornament readily visible to a person standing near the tree’s base that uses the word “Christmas,” or includes an image of the Nativity, or bears the name or image of Jesus Christ.

On the north side of the tree–at a height of about 4 feet and easily visible to people standing near it—there is an ornament that says: “I ♥ President Obama.”

When asked whether the tree included any ornaments that mention or depict Christmas or the birth of Jesus, the office of the Architect of the Capitol, which is responsible for the tree, told CNSNews.com that it “does not have a policy nor any restrictions concerning the themes for the ornaments” that go on the tree. The office could not say, however, whether or not this year’s Christmas tree does in fact include even a single ornament that directly references or depicts Christmas or Christ.

My Two Cents: Love him or hate him, Tebow either successfully uses the “power of prayer” (if you believe in that sort of thing). Then again, the Vikings suck worse than my last gf’s bj’s. Sorry Jesus, gotta side with the Vikings current level of suck on this one. End Two Cents.

If there’s justice, Tim Tebow just clinched whatever it was he was supposed to clinch.

After another sensational late-game performance, Tebow lifted the Broncos to a 35-32 victory Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

“I’ve definitely seen that a couple times from No. 15,” said Vikings receiver Percy Harvin, a former Tebow teammate at the University of Florida whose terrific 175 yards from scrimmage, two-touchdown effort was spoiled by Tebow leading the Broncos to 28 second-half points. “When I hear all those ESPN commentators say, ‘He can’t do this,’ I laugh. After the game, I whispered in his ear, ‘Let ‘em keep hating. Keep ‘em hating on you.’ ”

Having lifted a team back from a 1-4 record and seemingly in contention for the future quarterback likes of Matt Barkley, Landry Jones or Robert Griffith III, Tebow, and his Broncos, are now in control of their own playoff destiny.

By virtue of his 6-1 record as a starter that has moved the Broncos (7-5) from last place in the AFC West to a tie with Oakland on top, Tebow has become not just the man of the hour, or the Broncos’ quarterback of the year.

CONTINUED at Denver Post.

*Taken from Fox Sports.

Jake Plummer and Tim Tebow actually have a fair amount in common, if you think about it.

Both played quarterback for the Denver Broncos(Plummer from 2003-06), and both won games in ways that were not always described as “pretty.”

But Plummer seems to have run out of patience with Tebow’s prayer routine and wishes that the Broncos’ current QB would tone it down a bit.

“Tebow, regardless of whether I wish he’d just shut up after a game and go hug his teammates, I think he’s a winner and I respect that about him,” Plummer told XTRA Sports 910 in Phoenix on Monday.

“I think that when he accepts the fact that we know that he loves Jesus Christ then I think I’ll like him a little better.”

This was the most religious debate thus far and with that said, I wouldn’t have even watched it if it wasn’t for Ron Paul’s involvement. Let’s be realistic here, between Bachmann, Santorum, Cain, Gingrich and Perry, the answers to most of these church questions are pretty cut and dry and predictable. I’d rather watch a dead man’s beard grow than have to sit through two hours of these so-called Bible-thumpin’ conservatives tell me about how this country is swerving off of the road paved by Jesus.

In addition to that, this Thanksgiving Family Forum was moderated by Sean Hannity’s chief propagandist Frank “I wear sneakers with my suit” Luntz. The fact that he does wear sneakers with his suits, irritates the bejesus out of me but I guess for douchenuggets like Luntz, looking like an overweight slobbish NBA draft pick is how one wants to be presented on national television. If it weren’t for the man love Hannity gives to Luntz, he’d be the 3rd key shift leader at Champs Sports.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Mormons were MIA from this shit show. I guess they are considered heathens or something. Also, I guess it was understood that most Americans probably wouldn’t want to sit through this since it was not televised: not even on C-SPAN! I had to watch the debate via a live stream.

The forum starts with Michele Bachmann walking around with a pitcher of water, pouring everyone a glass. M’kay, this is already getting really fucking strange. I guess “family forum” translates to an episode of the “Brady Bunch” with Bachmann playing Alice. The deliberately set-up family dinner debate is just atrocious and hokey as fuck. See for yourself!

Yep, hokey as fuck.

The one great thing, probably the only great thing, about this debate is that it actually starts with Ron Paul! Holy fucking shit, did Hell freeze the fuck over?! Luntz asks Dr. Paul that if he is elected president, what do the words “So help me God” (part of the Presidential Oath) mean to him. Ron Paul replies by telling Luntz that elected officials have to swear an oath to take office to uphold and defend the Constitution and the rule of law. To him it means that he isn’t just saying this to himself and the American people but that he is saying this before God, which holds extra weight.

Herman Cain cuts in and says that “So help me God” means that he is “ultimately responsible to God almighty” and that he is asking for God to help him. Yep, just like his sea of advisors, Herman Cain needs God to tell him what decisions to make.

Bachmann, after passing out brownies, Jesus-friendly coloring books and crayons, points out that “So help me God” was originally used by George Washington. She also said that he kissed the Bible because he literally saw the hand of God rise up this nation. I once saw Cthulhu eat a Snork but I had just snorted some Fun Dip right before that. To suck up to the locals in Iowa, Bachmann says she was born and baptized there. Lady, the only thing Iowa is known for is “Field of Dreams”.

Luntz asks Bachmann about how she recognized that she was a sinner and how she gave Jesus her heart. She said the Holy Spirit knocked on her “heart’s door”. I didn’t know that the heart had a door. Why do they cut people open for heart surgery then? Doctors are stupid.

Rick Perry says that the words “So help me God” are “so powerful”. He says that no one can be president with their own human intellect and that the president needs God to help them. Perry then talks about spending a lot of times on his knees.. kinky. Perry also says that if God wasn’t holding him up, he’d be “scared to death”. So was it God that put “Oops” in his mouth a few debates back?

Luntz asks Santorum what the number one value is that America has lost. Santorum says that America doesn’t abide by God’s laws. He then cites Islam for having their civil laws being one in the same with their higher law. He says that America needs to do the same thing. In a way, he is basically calling for us to adopt the Christian equivalent to Sharia. Good job dork dick. Santorum then says that as long as abortion is legal, Americans will never have rest. WTF? Here’s a cookie cutter religio-douche wanting to force his worldview on a majority that does not agree with him. Fuck this whole idea that this is a “Christian nation”, that’s bullshit. The Founding Fathers, contrary to most of these conservatives dumbed down ideology, didn’t intend for this country to be ruled by the law of God, let alone become a Christian nation.

Luntz then asks Santorum what message God was sending him when he lost the senate race. I do have to give sneaker dork Luntz a high five on that one. Santorum gets irritated by the question but laughs it off like a nervous twatbag and flips the script without really answering it.

Luntz asks Gingrich which one value would he like to see re-instilled in America and how would he go about making it happen. Newt says that he wants to make sure everyone remembers that the Founding Fathers said that our rights came from our creator. True, and this is very different than being ruled by God’s law, which many conservatives just can’t understand. Newt also points out that the Founding Fathers didn’t specify that what religious sect that the creator was a part of, he makes it known that there isn’t a particular religion/denomination in America that holds any more weight over any other. Newt says that if we had a system in place that properly taught these points, we would be a dramatically better country.

Santorum then jumps into the Jesus debate to plug his book, which I won’t share the title because it is probably full of more crap than a carnival Port-O-Let. He goes on to talk about how the left has co-opted the academic institutions of America and killed God. Santorum says he is going to take public education back and says that he took the culture back when he was a senator. He talks about how he worked with Hollywood to eliminate the filth coming out of the TV. Yep.. how many ‘Twilight’ movies have come out since you were in the Senate dude? Good job killing those evil sparkly baseball-loving vampires.

Ron Paul steps on Santorum’s nuts and lets it be known that both sides of the coin have a hold on culture and have influenced American culture too much. Oh, the Jesus freaks are rumbling now. Paul says that the goal of government isn’t to mold people and society, its job is to preserve liberty. He warns that we as individuals need to take responsibility for these things. He says that blaming the liberals is basically foolhardy because conservatives go to the other extreme where they force free people to conform to new laws, which stifle liberty. Point being, to those of you that believe in Christ, he died for your sins and instead of using his power to save himself from the tyrants that killed him, he allowed them to crucify him and thus, without proving his greatness, gave the people a choice in whether they wanted to believe in him or not. He didn’t force anyone to follow him but that is essentially what idiots like Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann want to do. In forcing their Christian viewpoints on any of us, they are going against the very fabric of what their religion is. Unfortunately for us, they are too damn blind to their own bullshit to see reality. Luckily for us, their skewed reality doesn’t sit well with the majority in America today.

Herman Cain says that we are seeing a wider gap of Americans with faith and Americans without faith. He adds that people of strong faith, like himself, have allowed people of non-faith to intimidate them. Cain believes that the faithful have been too passive. Wait.. isn’t that what you’re supposed to be? I thought your whole religious philosophy dealt with not fighting back, turning the cheek and washing the feet of those who are against you because ultimately you will win them over from leading by example? Did I miss something? Why do I, someone who isn’t religious, know more about your belief system than you do, Mr. Cain? Herman ends his sermon by saying that Christians need to fight back and to fight back they need to express their faith, regardless of the setting, without fear of criticism.

Newt Gingrich gives examples of how conservatives are happier because they are faith-driven and how liberals are miserable because they are missing something in their life. Newt also says that he doesn’t feel that liberty means an absence of value, which is his attempt to counter Ron Paul’s last point.

Rick Perry talks about how in Texas, he had a program that brought pastors together with other people to help pray for this country. Rick Perry then challenges all the other candidates to not be afraid of being a faithful individual. He then says that you need to always preach your values because values are what can influence congressional decisions or something like that. Perry then says our values have to shape this country. By our values, he means his Christian values not anyone else’s values.

Ron Paul, straying away from the religiotards, says that “liberty doesn’t mean libertine, it means you have choices.” He adds that legalizing freedom of choice doesn’t mean that you are endorsing behavior that you might find immoral or without value. Paul says that we have to legalize liberty and freedom not designate what people’s beliefs should be. Just because someone may make a bad choice doesn’t mean that we should all give up on liberty. Ron Paul points out that it is the defense of liberty that we are actually losing in this country, which is basically a warning to all the other candidates at the table.

Bachmann goes on a tirade about a law that censors pastors at the pulpits from expressing political viewpoints. While that is an attack on the First Amendment, I have been to many churches throughout my life and heard many pastors speak on politics. Shit, any of these candidates watch ‘Jesus Camp’? The Evangelicals in that documentary had little children praying to a cardboard cutout of George W. Bush! Yep, there’s censorship going on. Hey wait, here’s a clip of it!

Yep, that’s not blatant indoctrination or anything. Censored my ass.

In regards to defending the First Amendment, Cain talks about how if preachers preach liberalism from the pulpit, people have a choice to leave that church and go elsewhere. Okay, so he is for freedom of choice over forcing his faith-based ideology now? Well, I guess it works if the end result is people leaving other churches to join a church that has a like-minded philosophy to Mr. Cain (or the other candidates). He then shouts, “My way or the highway! Nine! Nine! Nine! Jesus Pizza! Mother! Fucker!” Yet, even after that, he is blind to his and most of his counterparts’ hypocrisy. “Y’all can’t do what you want to do but if you choose to do what I want you to do, I am for that freedom!” Hallelujah!

Herman then says some tidbit that churches are intimidated by the IRS. That is a meaningless statement. What does that mean? Are you trying to wedge in a 999 plug? Besides, isn’t everyone afraid of the IRS? That’s like saying churches are afraid of hungry wolverines! Dude, we are all afraid of hungry wolverines but what does that have to do with anything?

Ron Paul is asked about what his worldview is. He responds to Luntz be saying that if people are able to have their freedom, they have to accept the responsibility of having that freedom. It’s about giving people the freedom to choose and allowing them to have the personal responsibility to do what is right. He then says that if people can’t live up to their own personal responsibility then they have to face the consequences of their decisions and actions.

Bachmann cuts in with “I have a biblical worldview!” Of course you do honey. Yawn. She claims that God wrote the owner’s manual and she trusts him to show it to her. Yep, and God once reached down from Heaven and handed me a bratwurst with sour kraut and spicy mustard.

Cain then says, “Freedom without responsibility is immoral.” Trying to sound like a libertarian, Cain says that you can have all the liberties you want as long as you don’t infringe on anyone else’s liberties.

Rick Perry goes off on some tangent about liberty, life, morality, Obamacare and his high score in Q-Bert. It’s hard to follow the ramblin’ man but at least he brings us the light-hearted comedy portion of the show. He then goes on about his “start at zero” foreign aid policy.

For the record, it is nice not having time wasted on Mitt Romney tonight. I’d like to hear Huntsman make some points and shit, I’d love to see Gary Johnson up there but I’m pretty sure he is now officially out of the debates for here on out.

Racquetball Rick then channels the Founding Fathers when talking about how God gave us laws and that they should line up with the laws of our land. Sorry idiot, the Founding Fathers never insinuated such nonsense and on top of that, you’re a fascist dickbag for trying to force us to live in Rick Santorum’s America. This is why no one takes you seriously and why you have consistently been dead fucking last in every single poll since you got into the race. America doesn’t agree with your fucking message dude, take a goddamned hint! He even goes as far as to say that right and wrong are “absolutes”. Yep, you’re wrong.. absolutely!

Occupy Wall Street is then brought up by Newt and he disses them and uses them as an example to prove how the left’s ideology is destined to collapse. He then tells OWS to go get a job but to first take a bath.

Cain says that Gingrich gave a perfect illustration of the OWS statement he made weeks prior. Cain says that Occupy Wall Street is immoral as they have freedom without responsibility.

Luntz then asks Cain, who often times touts states’ rights, if the federal government should have the power to step in and dictate these morals and values that everyone in the debate is calling for or should it be a state responsibility. Cain dances around the question and gives his typical ambiguous answer. He then talks about how when the Founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they set the bar high and that’s the journey we have been on. Huh?!?! How the fuck that does that answer the goddamned question? Luntz, Hannity’s propagandist, just lets this idiotic answer fly. Herman Cain could’ve just screamed out, “I saw Jesus eat a puppy!” and Frank Luntz would’ve been cool with that answer.

Dr. Paul has to point out to these intolerant bastards that the Constitution does not give the power to the government to enforce morality and values and that the federal government shouldn’t have any sort of power over the states. He reminds the candidates that the Constitution is a restriction on the federal government. Which all the other candidates agree with when the topic isn’t religion.

Just like Santorum, Rick Perry plugs his book. The only book worth plugging is Ron Paul’s “Liberty Defined” which everyone should buy and read immediately. Anyway, Perry talks about amending the Constitution and adding a human life amendment which conservatives believe would ultimately protect human life by turning over the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade. So basically, Rick Perry isn’t for states’ rights because he wants the federal government to outlaw abortions across the board. Here’s that bullshit hypocrisy that these people think is somehow excused because it has religious undertones to back it up. Perry then promotes a law for traditional marriage and throws out states’ rights on that one too. He finishes his statement by saying that the next president needs to change the Constitution. Um.. the current president is changing it but don’t all you shitpickle conservatives hate him for it?

Cain and Bachmann start bitching about Obamacare and start talking about states’ rights. Santorum then jumps into the Obamacare discussion and basically says “fuck states’ rights” and then goes on a rant about how the federal government needs to fight gay marriage. Jesus, does this fucking guy ever stop talking? Santorum says that states are undermining the values of America. In reality, Santorum is just undermining our intelligence.

An audience member implies that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. He then proceeds to ask Herman Cain if he would allow the abortion issue to be a state issue or would he make a federal law or an amendment to the Constitution banning it nationally. Herman Cain, who says he’s all about states’ rights, says he would make it a law. Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Cain also admits that he would push hard to achieve this.

Weighing in on the topic, Gingrich says that the Fourteenth Amendment has a part in it that says that Congress can define personhood. With that said, Newt would like to influence Congress into passing a new law that says that personhood begins at conception.

On the same subject, Ron Paul counters Newt by saying that he has endorsed the amendment saying that life begins at conception however he doesn’t feel that the federal government should enforce these things, as all other law enforcement against violence is handled at the state level. He reminds us that when we try to nationalize things, we expose ourselves to great danger. He solidifies the point by saying that when a mistake is made in these situations, that the mistake is national. He feels that it is better to officially state when life begins but to let the states handle it in their own way, as they should with everything else, as the Constitution states in the Tenth Amendment.

Bachmann chimes in and says that it is abundantly clear that every human being is made in the likeness of God and that it is important to understand and protect that. Yep, she’s still not getting it and still not understanding that we don’t all see things in the same light as her and her colleagues on the stage. She says that she stands up for the federal government being involved in this issue. Aah.. another Tenth Amendment hypocrite! Go Tea Party! She then goes on a tangent about taxpayer subsidized abortion brought forth by Obamacare. She has a hard time making any statement or answering any question without bringing up her hatred for Barry O. Her tangent then goes into how important it is to repeal Obamacare and that she is the candidate that will repeal it. Yeah lady, every candidate in the race says they will repeal it. What makes you so special with your one talking point?

Rick Perry is asked if the closing down of faith-based adoption agencies due to their rejection of same sex couples getting a child is a federal problem. The question alone by the head of this church group is asinine on so many levels. Rick Perry responds by saying it is a federal issue and that by passing an amendment outlawing same sex marriage will help combat the problem. So is Perry and the religiously intolerant people in the crowd going to take it one step further and have the government rip children away from parents who might just be gay? The thought of this is despicable, especially with countless studies that have been done that have proved that children raised in same sex households aren’t any worse off in any way than children raised by single parents or both parents in a heterosexual relationship. Perry proudly points out that gays cant adopt in Texas. I guess keeping kids in a fucking orphanage is the ideal choice then?

The same question rolls over to Rick Santorum, who can’t wait to spew his religious bullshit on the masses. He says that they can’t wait for the federal government to step in and define marriage. He calls for everyone to go to the states and have the debate because this debate can’t lose. Uh huh, so says the guy who has never not been last in the polls. He closes his statement by saying that it is important for our society to honor everyone (unless you’re gay).

Newt jumps in the mix and says that he would use executive powers to reinstate George W. Bush’s “Conscience Clause” and extend it to adoption agencies and other religious services. He would encourage a bill that would cut off all federal funding to any jurisdiction that discriminates against religious beliefs. The problem with this is that anyone can claim that any jurisdiction discriminated against them. How is going to investigate the claims? How do you effectively determine what is bullshit and what is legit? This just opens up a big ass can of worms that really just grows the government and give them even more power that they don’t need. How much would it cost to make an agency to deal with these issues?

Frank Luntz mentions that Rick Perry has been pushing for term limits for Supreme Court justices. Luntz then asks the audience if they would support the idea and it sounds like most of them clap. Perry then asks how many would support a part-time Congress and the room erupts once again with applause. Luntz then asks all the candidates if there are any changes that they would like to make to the court system and political system.

Bachmann says that we need to limit subject matter jurisdiction. She also says that we need to limit the lawsuits against energy companies from radical environmentalists. She then works in another token Barack Obama jab.

Newt says he would abolish the rule that allows universities to keep students from using any sort of religious language or expression during school functions and graduations.

Rick Santorum says he agrees with both Bachmann and Newt but that he’d go one step further. Oh course this shit clown would go one step further. He is on some bullshit mission from a God that made him lose his last election. Santorum adds that he would abolish the entire 9th Circuit. Dork Dick then says that he is appalled by the fact that the courts are so powerful because out of the three branches of government, they are listed third. He says that the Founding Fathers would also be appalled by this. Santorum is something special. He finishes up by giving us a crappy story about how he has stood up against the courts. Whatever dude, you are still a fucking toolbox.

The debate pauses with a five-minute potty break. When it is over and Luntz calls everyone back to their seats, he points out that Perry wouldn’t sit until Bachmann took her seat. Perry in his Texas accent replied, “Well that’s how my momma raised me.” I think he even tipped an imaginary hat.

Luntz kicks off the second hour of the debate by asking the candidates to share a personal story of a challenge that helped shape them and their spirituality. He points out that the question isn’t a mandatory one but says that if there was every a time to bear their souls, this was it. What the fuck did Luntz snort on his potty break?

Herman Cain is quick to jump in and says that his faith grew with his life experiences. Cain says that the most challenging experience that made him dig deep in his faith was when he was diagnosed with cancer. Cain then takes a long pause for what felt like some alligator tears. Maybe that seems unfair or cruel for me to say but this all seemed like a desperate attempt to try and pull on the audience’s heartstrings. Luntz even says he will come back to Cain to hear the end of the story, since Herman is all broken up. Herman quickly snaps back to normalcy and starts telling the story like his tears were never there. Anyway, the punchline comes when Cain says he turned to his wife and said “I can do this!” and she turned to him and said “We can do this!” Okay buddy, so where does Jesus enter the story?

Next is Rick Perry story time, which brings us a tale of how Perry was challenged and found strength in his faith. His story was about how he was influenced by his Scout leader. He talks about how his town had two churches and the whole town went on a faith walk, whatever that is. Perry then tells us that when he got out of the Air Force he was miserable and sad and couldn’t figure out why. Then one day he realized that “there is a hole in everyone’s heart that can only be filled by the lord and savior Jesus Christ.” Sorry dude, my heart is filled with ribeye and whiskey.

The other Air Force guy on the stage, Ron Paul decides to share a story. He talks about how he joined the Lutheran church and went through catechism. He mentions that his faith helped him through his military career and especially through medical school. He then says that he never had a medical issue like Cain but by being a doctor he shared many experiences with his patients that strengthened his faith and solidified his beliefs.

Bachmann has to get her time, so she tells the story of her parents’ divorce and how she didn’t see her father for a long time. She talks about how her mother had to get a job for the first time and how all the kids had to also get jobs to keep the family going. She feels that God presented her family with that challenge to help them rise above it. She then goes on a long rant about her bazillion foster kids. She also works in a diss to Senator Al Franken, one of my favorite SNL stars ever. And then she goes on a tirade against Obamacare. She just needs to sleep with Barry and get it over with already.

Luntz asks Santorum if he wants to join story time but Santorum just panders at first and tries to get around it. Yep, he wants to tell all of us to live like him but he doesn’t want to tell us how he got there. Feeling the pressure, Santorum decides to participate and he tells the story of how one of his children was diagnosed with a fatal condition. As he tells the story, I can see why he was reluctant to join in. Santorum tells the most heartfelt and saddest yet touching story I have heard in a very long time. His story went on for a long while and it is too long to share here but what he went through and what he had to overcome within himself throughout his horrible experience almost makes me feel bad for the very strong critiques I have been giving him. In the end his story had a happy ending. But none of this excuses the fact that he wants to force his worldview on all of us.

Here’s his story for those who want to hear it.

Newt is next on the docket and he relates to Santorum’s story by talking about his close friends’ who had a child that was born with a severe heart problem. There were only three doctors in the country that could operate on the kid and it had to be done within 24 hours. The parents found the right doctor and the child’s life was saved, however the doctor found out that the child had brain tumors. The child was then in the hospital for six years, as they removed the tumors one-by-one over that period of time. In the end, the operations were successful. The child has a good heart a good brain and went on to live a great life. Newt then uses this story to illustrate a point. That point is, do you want to let the government decide who gets what kind of health care and who doesn’t based off of a percentage basis or do you want a country that truly cares about life?

Frank Luntz gives all the candidates props and tells them that they are all people with great character and that they all have the ability to do great things and contribute to the good fight. He also says that he hopes that they stop fighting, as they have in debates before this one and that they all work together to take the country back. Luntz then asks the group to talk about an event or a situation in their lives that did not go well for them and to tell the audience what they learned from it.

Newt tells us how he was primarily raised by his grandmother at an early age and that she taught him his early religious views. He then goes through his own personal history of his relationship with religion. He then tells us that despite his long-term relationship with God, he got to a point in life where he was working so hard and earning so much from his labor but he just wasn’t happy, he felt empty. He likened his symptoms to that of an alcoholic. It was a friend who intervened and gave Newt some books and advice that helped him re-center himself and brought him even closer to God.

Ron Paul steps up to the plate and talks about the hardest thing he deals with is that he is his own worst critic and he can’t stand seeing himself on television because he nitpicks himself apart. He says that he strives for perfection by trying to learn from his mistakes and trying to improve the delivery of his message. He adds that he can’t really pinpoint just one thing that stands out that he wishes would have turned out different because he has been so pleased to be involved in everything he has done, especially all the great debates he has been in as well as delivering thousands of babies when he practiced medicine.

Next up, Cain talks about how he has been very successful in business and it is because of the help of “God almighty”. He says that he has had several little failures but no big disasters that have stood out. His biggest little failure is that he doesn’t feel that he wasn’t home enough for his kids when they were growing up. Cain gets really emotional again. I think we have another John Boehner here.

Governor Perry says that he always wanted to be a veterinarian. He then says that he took a liking to organic chemistry in college and before he knew it, he was a pilot in the Air Force. He then pimps out how awesome his wife is and says God blessed him and he is, in fact, the most blessed person at the table.

Dr. Paul is asked if he would support an amendment that would define marriage as heterosexual. Ron Paul says “no” and explains that all these problems should be dealt with in a constitutional manner and that it is an issue to be decided on by the states. He goes on to explain that having the federal government deal with this is going in the wrong direction. As an example he asks, “What’s next, the UN defining marriage?” He says that families and churches should handle it. Surprisingly, he doesn’t bring up the fact that he is a strong believer in individual liberty, which this sort of amendment would be an attack on.

Rick Santorum is then asked why he feels that a federal marriage amendment is necessary. Santorum says that the pro-life movement during the Roe v. Wade era didn’t have their shit together. Um, that’s abortion dude not gay marriage. Anyway, he gets back on topic and says that he helped draft the amendment and that he feels it must pass. He points out that there was only one vote for the amendment in the Senate and that was because he forced the vote and since then, no one has done anything about it. Could it be because, god forbid, no one agrees with you except for a few crazies? Like less than 5 percent of the GOPers that actually take polls? Santorum then attacks the Tenth Amendment and says that this issue is “too important for that.”

Bachmann feels like she should add her two cents on the discussion about the federal marriage amendment. She boasts about how she backed a similar amendment in Minnesota even though it made people hate her because in her heart of hearts she “knew it was the right thing to do.” Guess what? She takes another shot at Obama and then spews out “One man, one woman, no other definition will do!” Just because you think your holy book espouses this nonsense justly because you can interpret its passages however you want, you can’t force us all to bow down to your version of God.

Herman Cain says he would lead the charge to overturn a Supreme Court decision that overturns the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA.

A mom in the crowd asks the candidates if they believe in a “common good” and if so, what role they feel that the federal government should play in supporting it.

The first one to take the question is Newt Gingrich, who states that, “The Founding Fathers would’ve said that the purpose of government is to establish the framework within which the individual, the family and the community seek a common good.”

Rick Perry on the subject of the common good goes off on a tangent about securing the border. That’s an issue that drives conservatives batty and Perry is pimping the idea but his track record with illegal immigration is incredibly spotty.

Herman Cain says that we can’t become a lawless society. He also says that the common good is something to establish a level playing field. Um, what? He adds that the reason why America needed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was because the country wasn’t fair and respectful to all people. So is Cain buying into the progressive propaganda in regards to the Civil Rights Act?

A student in the crowd asks the candidates if it is the responsibility of the schools to teach children right from wrong.

Racquetball Rick snags the question and starts pimping out the fact that he homeschools his seven kids. He says that the American education is fundamentally broken because it is an archaic system established over a century ago. He points out that we have changed a lot since the system was created and it is time for major reform. He also states that it is the parent’s responsibility to truly educate their children due to our shitty ass schools.

Bachmann says a bunch of stuff about her legion of children not becoming wards of the state or something. She says that education has to stay close to the family and the government needs to GTFO.

Frank Luntz asks Ron Paul a great question when he asks what is the moral justification for getting involved in Libya and potentially Syria as well. Paul answers Luntz by first stating that Christ taught about peace that we had a right to defend it. Paul continues by telling us that the church struggled with this in the early days and that because of this, St. Augustine came up with the “Principles of Just War”. Paul says that those principles as well as the Constitution do a good job of mapping out what our rules for war should be. He also notes that every war since World War II has been illegal by definition.

Michele Bachmann said that wars are moral if we are attacked or threatened. Well shit lady, almost every country ever has threatened us in some way. So I guess you are saying that all wars are moral then? Cain says something about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and protecting self and property and other stuff. Perry says that it is clear that war is moral when America’s interests are in jeopardy. Well buddy, one could always say our interests are in jeopardy. Santorum says something about gays and Jesus and kayaking; I am falling a sleep as this debate is nearing the three hour mark! Yes, three fucking hours! Newt says something about pagans. They’re still around? Sorry reader of this article, I am just losing interest in these warmongering neocons in this long ass debate.

And with that, this debate is over! I swear it was longer than watching all three extended editions of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy! In the end, Ron Paul owned it and everyone else sucked donkey dick. Well, Newt was good because he is just a good speaker and very engaging.

The heckler was booed by the crowd when he began his rant with “The Christian God is the only and only true living God. The creator of heaven and the universe.”

“Jesus Christ is God! Jesus Christ is God! Jesus Christ is God! Jesus Christ is the son of God!” the man continued.

“You’re the antichrist!” the man said. The crowd responded with an enthusiastic cheer of “four more years” afterward.

“First of all, I agree Jesus Christ is the Lord. I believe in that,” Obama said to tepid applause.

For a group that claims to be offended by the mere whiff of politics and religion’s intermingling, the left sure does bring up Jesus quite a lot.

The most recent outburst is the work of a progressive outfit called American Values Network. In this instance, God is being dragged into the debate as a way to exaggerate the late author Ayn Rand’s influence on GOP policymaking and to smear anyone who happens to find any of her ideas appealing. Not only is she loony, don’t you know, but also her notions are in “direct contradiction to the Bible.” And Beelzebub’s minions—Paul Ryan and others like him—simply “can’t have it both ways, and neither can Christians.”

They can, actually.

As I am neither a theologian nor a Christian, I am in no position to answer the “What Would Jesus Do?” question. My friends on the left (and by friends I mean people I watch on cable TV), though, have alleged that Jesus supports compulsory “charity” so that the wealth can be appropriately invested in Her Lady of the Ethanol, The Blood of Bankruptcy-Prone Social Dependency Program, or other worthy causes. That’s what Jesus would do.
