Anyone watching the debate? So far, I like some of the things Ron Paul said, Huntsman said and Santorum said. Newt came off like a whiner (don't make us republicans in fight! you're protecting Obama! I'm speaking to the super conservatives who believe that shit!), Bachman is just a loon (answer everything with Obamacare!) and Perry and Romney cancel each other out.
Watch a debate where the combined IQ of all the contestants = 2 digits? A bit too frustrating for an optimist such as myself.
well, Bachman stuck by her m.o. of "ignore the question, change the subject so I can blame Obama" for every single answer. I hate it when candidates do that.
It was genius. She said whatever she wanted and then they usually asked her a follow-up to insist she answer the actual question, which she could answer or just ramble some more. Doubles her time on the podium.
I caught the last few minutes. Rick Perry didn't sound very smooth defending himself about climate change. And Ron Paul not just sounded crazy, but looked crazy too. Wouldn't let him anywhere near my kids if I had any. I'm sorry I didn't get to see it all. Good entertainment. barfo
Rick Perry: "Social Security in its current form is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme." Which then humorously reminded me of what Flounder, in Animal House, might have exclaimed....
Flounder uttered those words right as his cronies had littered marbles all over the road that the band was going to be marching down. I was just thinking that, even though Perry was attempting to call a spade a spade, marbles were figuratively being spilt. And, I loved it!!
dumb that down a little more. I've never seen Animal House, and I'm not sure if you're saying he was wrong or you support him.
I think Darius Miles says it best when it comes to ABM's post. [video=youtube;6m_G0tq2MHg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m_G0tq2MHg[/video]
Perry spit out a direct, if not potentially controversial, response to a controversial subject. No beating around the bush. Exposed himself, really. I could have just seen that Flounder character reveling in what I'm sure will become political fodder.
You should be in creative debate programming! I got 20 bucks that Perry can do the somersault dunk but Gingrich can't.
Funny, I was thinking more of Otter's response to Flounder (with Otter representing the political class), "You fucked up; you trusted us."
