my old home town

evening Jane

Fla is in dire straits

Low comedy?

thanks Jeb

Jane!!!

Jeb demolished an S&L all by his wittle self…Broward Savins and Loan,the booooooooshies really know how to work it

“Watching Rudy make a desperte Hail Mary pass tonight could be the evening’s best sport.” A little typo there…

Let the show begin!

Bout time for Rudy to get his lunch eaten in public. Should be out of the race by a week from Monday. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy….whassa matta Rudy- devil got yer tongue?

remember Anthrax in BocaRaton….Rootie was supposed to clean it up

wunner if Brian will ask him bout it

Let’s see if Brian Williams and Timmeh spend 45 minutes trying to start a fight tonight…

I’d like to see Ghouliani come in behind Ron Paul.

Not that I like Ron Paul at all.

McCain and Romney duel? KO. Sounds like fun!

Poor Rudy-One-Note can only sing one note. Mitt the Sh*t might be a hit.

That will tell the story, won’t it?

I’m rooting for it. Fair is fair, ya know…

that would be uncivilized

Will Huckabee be the McCain surragate and go after Romney? (Chuck Todd)

Has anyone already noted that there’s a reason why Florida ends in DUH?

will nora be wearing her catwoman costume?

HA!

the stage still looks crowded

hahahahaha

Timmeh’s got the game-face on. Not that that means anything - it’s Timmeh, fer chrissakes…

“9iu11iani”

lmao.

He has become such a joke around people I work with. Those who ordinarily stay on the periphery of political discussion suddenly feel right in the middle of it all when they make their crack about Rudy 911. sucks to be him. love it.

What a softball first question! Why not start with imminent nuclear holocaust like they did with the Dems?

i miss Fred,he must be getting some good zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

CAMILLE is on cant watch these bozos when i can watch Garbo

Let me please ask each of you to consider voting Democratic next November. My woman and i are somewhat put off by a couple of our candidates. But we at this point will vote Democratic in the next elections. It is imperative that we oust the GOP from the White House. We think.

wish Rachel Maddow was asking questions… now, THAT would be entertainment!

And for kicks wouldn’t it be fun to see Katherine Harris carrying round cards? /snark

McCain looks tense

I don’t know what planet that old putz lives on, but I’m sure not “planning my 2010 budget.” What a maroon.

The downside is that he’s turned 9/11 into a subject of derision. We NYers have thick hides, but it’s too bad anyhow.

I’m planning on how to pay my mortgage next month!

9iu11ani, he’s tan, he’s fit, he’s failing…

why was McCain saying “we need to save”, when the agreement seems to be that we all need to go shopping?

Me too! To say nothing of the utilities and the groceries…

Oh gawd. McCain is on and it’s the same old cut corporate income taxes thingie. Mc Cain says we (workers and consumers) ought to save money. This is not funny in the least.

it’s a record!

rudy just spoke for 90 seconds without mentioning you know what!

Did Ghouli just say that Sen Bond and somebody else introduced *his* (Ghouli’s) tax policy in the Senate yesterday?

Delusions of grandeur much?

And Rudy says we need to cut spending. Does that include Iraq?

Mixing up short run & long run.

now THAT’S a great idea

McCain is extolling the “Reagan Revolution”.

I was gonna suggest “tax cuts” or “stimulus” as trigger words for a drinking game.

Bad idea averted.

All those people McCain is mentioning who support him on economics–today’s voters don’t know who they are.

I must say these guys make me want to take a nap.

Rudy turning the disaster into a subject of derision by association is not lost on me, but to be clear, it is Rudy that is the subject of derision.

I think he named Marty Feldman

McCain claims that Paul Krugman misquoted him (paragraph 4). Or maybe he just forgot… He is getting on in years.

I cannot testify as to how long Lahoma is going to stay with this Republican “debate”.

Nice to see Brian Williams and Tim Russert being consistent tonight by starting this debate with 25 minutes of stupid questions about race, as they did with the Democrats last week.

For sure, but 9/11 tarred by associaton.

Timmeh - “Governor Huck, ya wanna take a shot at Willard?”

Huck - “Stimulate the economy by fixing the roads”.

Huck talking New Deal.

I know who he his, but how many voters do?

Romney smirking condescendingly at The Huckster

Mitt complementing McCain and Rudy. A desperate plea, hoping they won’t beat him up tonight.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ commuter train zzzzzzzzzzzzz bush cut taxes ZZZZZZZZZZ tough times zzzzzzzzz economy in their DNA ZZZZZZZZ tax cuts permanent zzzzzzzzzzzz

Lahoma has left the scene (watching the Rebublican debate). She indicated she can’t take it.

Oh, Gawd, PLEASE don’t let McCain laugh again. It just absolutely creeps me out when he does that.

Lahoma is a wise woman.

Yeah, American Concrete…!

McCain - “Tax cuts good - Spending bad”. Thank you.

Brian has such incredible credentials….he is a FIRST CLASS teleprompter reader as his equally qualified colleague tinkerbell Couric…BWAhahahahahaha….these people look into the camera,and tell America what to think

McCain talking about when the GOPs “lost an election” like it was the worst thing in the world. Although he doesn’t explain how to restrain spending.

How come the GOPs get all the serious questions tonite, unlike the stupid Brian Williams questions last week?

Bizzaro EPU’ed by posting upstairs. RON PAUL!

–

Fuklebee plan is to disallow tax rebate to be spent on China goods - no thats just his lead. He is down with putting it into jobs and construction and people stuck in traffic.

I gotta say I stand up and clap that he is talking about trillions wasted sitting in tolls and traffic. I wish he did not have to put in the China slam/contrast first though.

“Massachusetts is in a ditch…I went on a tour of the USA for a Presidential launch while making fun of MA all across the country”
~ Mitt

Wow, the no “Bush” mention rule is even meaning that none of the candidates are calling McCain voting against the original Bush taxs cuts (only to extend them).

I wish Fred was still here.

These guys are BORING!!

Scripted RW pablum delivered in monotones.

Poor Rudy-One-Note can only sing one note.

In honor of Rudy’s bilingual campaign in Florida:

Carlos Jobim

Open odds on Ron Paul and his FISA stance. Who laughs at him or mocks him - and does McCain call him Stalin or something?

geez, they guys just exude charisma!

It’s good to see The Huckster making such a concrete proposal.

Ron Paul sounds like a sane Pat Buchanan.

Damn, Ron Paul is going to tell the truth on the dollar and people are going to be all zikes.

Hey maybe the mods will ask him if he is “talking down the econ”.

Not bad for a blockhead.

Hey they are asking about their likely buddy from Countrywide walking out of a worthless company with a 110 million USD package.

Rootie is tri lingual?

Well friends… I think watching the Republican debate tonight is far less exciting than watching the lichen grow. I’m going upstairs. Lahoma has inquired if I’d like to play some gin rummy.

Rudi talking about the Saudi prince — watch him dance!

It’s going to take me a while to wrap my head around that concept. Wow. I never thought I’d see “sane” and “Pat Buchanan” used in the same sentence.

Ghoul managed to mention the “Twin Towers”

RUDY!
You should have ripped the check up, not given it back.

Have a grand evening, you two.

Yeah, he tries! *G*

9iu11iani’s voice is shaking?

Rudi sez the Japanese bought Brian Williams’ building. Does he mean Rockefeller Center or Brian’s home in the Hamptons?

He is trying to talk his way out of showing a nutjob with 10 million USD NYC Ground zero at the request of the WH.

must be that old headache

I prefer the clintons and obama mixing it up

to this

Pubs know they haven’t got a chance in Nov. - I think they’ve given up

Tim Russert running the GOP’s failure numbers.

TIMMAH!

Nice, the R’s are going to school on the economic record.

EEEEK…. Rudy’s grabbed the wrong teeth again…

Rudy - “I’m pretty much in favor of trade - pretty much in favor of free trade…”

Bravely taking a stand, I give you - Rudeeee!!

McCain’s giving us some “straight talk” amidst his lies about Democrats.

McCain “the Democrat debates” doesn’t know a noun from an adjective

McCain straight talkin’ “Dems tax and spend”.

Hey, McCain still rembers the easy lie as “straight talk”.

The Dems will tax you into oblivion.

- No McCain he just read the stats. The bridge to no-where…that has to be his likely great friend Ted Stevens (R - Alaska)

McCain, “Dems! pork barrel spending! Dems!”

ya think John Gibson makes the 10 million dollar paycheck also,i know the little squirt does

McCain just mentioned “the bridge to nowhere” for the 2nd time tonight

Huckabee sez “I wasn’t there messing things up.”

I’m beginning to think McCain is kinda against “The Bridge to Nowhere”.

Huck panders to the fearful.

ooh. Huckster praising Bush!!! Now, that’s a novel approach.

Hucklebee’s talking to the people at the bottom of the economy.

hucksterbee’s trying hard not to sound nuts

Huckabee - winning debate after debate if they give him a chance. I mean 2nd place since Ron Paul has won all the other but for one.

McCain: Veto! Veto! Veto!

Mitt just short circuted since he could not answer the question.

He is a “changeBot”.

Mitt:

I’ll run away from the record of Washington.

I hate when they say they’ll cut spending by cutting pork-barrel spending and there’s no follow-up about spending on the wars. (currently 2 wars, soon to add Pakistan, then maybe Iran….and there’s always Syria)

all of them are

Romneybot moves kind of like the Tin Woodman…before he got oiled.

I’ll repeat my stance on “absurd social programs”. The first one I would cut is spreading democracy in the ME.

Mittbot 2008 - I am not from Wash-ing-ton. I am not from Wash-ing-ton. My dad was 3-time Gov.

He did call out Obama’s Regean line: “We are the party of ideas” or tactics, or something terrible.

Ghouli’s doing that creepy eye-popping thing

“the bridge to nowhere” count

#3

by mittens

Willard - “We are the party of change.”

Get the hook - call the guys with the straight-jackets!

Ghouli - There isn’t anything you can possibly name that I didn’t accomplish as Mayor of New York.

Mitt says repubs are the party of fiscal responsibility. Imagine if they were irresponsible, the trouble we’d be in.

Ron Paul finger up: This is a New Era. (Econ & dollar)

you’d think the Rs could afford better sound equipment.

It’s that scary echo thing from the Wizard of Oz. That’s why Mitt is in Tin Man mode.

McCain sez we are succeeding in Iraq! Claims Clinton said she wants to wave the white flag of surrender, just the other nite.

I don’t remember her saying that.

Great question. Can’t sustain the wars, either militarily or financially. McCain says no one told him that.

McCain: Withdraw troops over time. 10,000 every 10 years.

Gee I do not think there would be American casualties if there was no American military presense (or if there were it would likely lead to war).

McCain says, “I know of no military leader…that says we cannot succeed in Irak” Oh, yeah? There have been a number of recently retired ones who have said that…”we’re defending freedom”…”it is succeeding”…yeah yeah yeah

YOu’d think they’d be more afraid of their portfolios drying up than afraid of the turbans.

McCain takes a couple of gratuitous swats at Sen. Clinton…

I hope somebody asks the Huckster about amending the constitution to reflect the bible.

McCain - “On the subject of Iraq, I am clearly out of my mind and dangerously delusional.”

McCain: Soldiers say “Let us win”

McCain still running on the BS express.

Mitt saying

this is how is got cannon fodder for iraq

Mitt: We can’t turn Irak over to al Qaida

Romneybot piles on Sen. Clinton…

Willard making an impressive bid to out-crazy McCain on the Iraq subject…

Oh! Mitt thinks dems are audacious and arrogant! Fighting words! Applause!

Don’t they all seem in a funk? No energy?
Guess it must be the economy. And the fact that none of them can raise any money.

Rumsfeld is the scapegoat tonight.

I’m impressed they are all running against Clinton already…
