Did a professional development event recently with a lobbyist who knows pretty much all these clowns. He described Noem as among the dumbest human beings he's ever met.

That said: yeah, I probably would

That hair is awful.

you could part it, nowahimsayin

As a Democrat, I wish these guys would debate every night.

WE GIVE MONEY TO OUR ENEMIES, LIKE ISRAEL AND EGYPT AND SUCH, WHEN WE PROVIDE FOREIGN AID. oh ron paul

when the hell did people start booing in debates?

infanticide, newt? fuck you

teen pregnancy is down, rick

So, the solution to all these problems that Santorum is talking about--yes! More birth control! Teach kids how to use it, and make it easy for them to get it!

give me the # of years romney ran bain, and the # of employees, and I could give you a fairly accurate count of the # of birth control pills romney's company willingly, consciously paid for, and the # of abortions, etc

This is the first debate I've watched. Have they all been this incoherent?

I'd love for someone to ask these jags if the point is the ends or the means: to use state power to change the outcome or to punish behaviors of which the rulers disapprove.

this is the worst i've watched. i've watched about four. they are just old men talking non-sensically about issues about which they have either no knowledge or are willfully being ignorant for votes and applause.

newt's worried about the coercive power of the state

but I doubt he's ready to jump up and dump most of our laws on drug possession

alan colmes is kind of a beast on twitter:

GOP: Government is bad; state has too much power; but it should teach abstinene and make sure families have a mom and dad

just wondering whether these guys have met a woman who has been to planned parenthood, or have ever visited a facility?


FWIW, GOP voter interest in this is at a big low.

republican candidates' timeline

ron paul: 1830
rick santorum: 1857
mitt romney: 1889
newt: 2525

no one's explained the difference between medicare and medicare advantage to mitt yet

arlen specter was maybe hte most popular senator in PA for the past 40 years. that's why he supported him. let's be real. sheesh

now santorum's pointing that balanced budgets may be next to irrelevant in governance

these guys

More of a random thought... but I hate when anyone laments that the country has fallen since the good ol' days of our forefathers. I know I'm bitching about something I am benefiting from, but those days were filled with slavery and genocide. It's inconceivable how willfully ignorant so many people are on the other side of our history and the costs of Manifest Destiny.
