beer or soda?

You’ll more than nachos…thanks.

Republican vs. Democrat in 2012. A Turd Sandwich vs. a Giant Douche. South Park had it right.

Hi RevBev

here we go

Megyn

Who the hell spells her name like that unless she feels gender challenged.

I think mud will be slung tonight. Thank goodness, we will be free of their endless debates for awhile.

You’ll more than nachos nosh those

Don’t know why I’m into corrective suggestions today. Hope you don’t mind.

All politics is local, so that means I should vote for Newt cuz he lives near me. Have I got that right? And would I have to supply my own vomit bag?

interesting Megyn wants to get Paul’s commitment to the R’s

YOYO wrt vomit bags, dontcha know. Can’t have the gubmint providing something so valuable for the likes of you. (The generic you, not the specific you.)

LOL. What did Paul say?

Not even the specific me lol.

Deep down he is really a cannibal?

Wow, Michelle looks hot tonight. I do believe that if she’d go topless, she could go all the way.

Hmmm. Maybe worth voting for then, if we can get him to eat the members of congress. Can’t think of a more deserving fate for them.

How many voters could she/would she screw?

Perry stumbles again on #3. A man’s got to know his limitations. His is, “Stop at two.”

All of them. Too easy. ;-)

OMG, TBogg must be throwing things at the TV right now. Perry honoring Tebow

Perry really should never try to list things. It doesn’t work out well for him since he has the mind of a 2 year old.

Perry confused, he thinks a loggerhead is a kind of turtle.

Paul does have a strong stomach, but think of the heartburn though! And that would just whet his appetite, he’d paint the White House red.

Threw you a soft ball.

Is anyone getting applause from the Iowa crowd?

Did they forget the applause signs, or has no one mentioned killing illegal aliens’ children yet?

I’ll be curious to see who gets the most air-time tonight. Whoever it is, or so my theory goes, is who FoxNews is backing. And that’s worth everything in a repub primary.

I’m sure Frothy will get a big hand when he talks about his latest plan to cut heating assistance and unemployment benefits.

it’s trending on twitter

Ya got that right.

supposedly Wallace loathes Mitt
and Brett interviewed Mitt in a closet

On the Foxtwat meters, it’s Paul, Huntsman, Gingrich, followed by Bachmann. Romney and Santorum bringing up the rear.

Gingrich not a lobbyist?! oh please

Perry is in last. Don’t forget Perry!

Bachman goin after the newt.

Wallace sez that if Iowa votes for Paul, it doesn’t count. Media no longer trying to hide instructions to voters.

Never lobbied. LOL

I never done it. I’m sure of it. In fact I got all the facts.

Paul can’t win with the Fox crowd.

Newts confusing the public with his wives. Don’t believe your lying eyes.
Bachman is kicking his butt.

Bachmann definitely scoring pts. off President Gingrich,

Who bought his “best-selling” books

Wingnut Welfare?

Newt likes both sides of every issue. Shut it down but housing is ok

“Only worked with people whose values I shared? ”
Big opening there.

I know that. It’s the blatancy that I was pointing out. It was an item I saw earlier today on Thinkprogress but can’t find the link just now.

Sounds like the newt show. If newt endorses the idea, then it is shit.

Wassername from Delaware sez that Gingrich has been consistent since he changed his mind the last time.

This fucking infuriates me. that fuck is not a democrat.

grr – my browser keeps crashing

Ah yes, i knew there had to be a way around this.

Wyden legitimized Paul Ryan’s attack on Medicare.

Whew. Bachman whacked Gingrich to behind Santorum.

Christine oDonnell – but she was talking about the big flip flopper, Mitt

i know there is plenty of cheese at the debate but i brought the good kind for more nachos

thank goodness is the last one until january — i would not have been surprised if they had scheduled one for christmas day to debate who is the most devoted christian

Bachman goes after Newt quite effectively. More so than Romney. It’s easier to attack when you don’t have as mixed a history.

Jeeze. But it may be true. Gore won the national vote, but it didn’t count either. Just sayin’

Oh, well, all those RWMs look alike to me. :-)

She’s not a witch, so it doesn’t matter which.

Good point.

Perry’s a true idiot.

Perry, fuck the government. Send them home.

mMm yumm thanks

well there was the Trump debate for the 27th – but as we know, that didn’t work out.

Paul, Bachmann, Romney and Huntsman tied for third, then Gingrich, Santorum and heeerrrreeee comes Perrrrrrrry!

I guess it won’t be Gingrich-Bachmann 2012

Starting my second (half) glass of wine.

Huntsman making took much sense…no applause.

Second slot goes to Rubio. I’d put money on it.

Let the money stay overseas. You can’t make them do shit.

Drinking is a really good idea during these “goat rodeos” – thanks WT. In fact, it may be a good idea for the next 5 years.

Time for oatmeal cookies? I’m into Xmas cooking mode. Cookies for the kiddies, now in their 20s & 30s. I bake a batch, they go into those chintzy plastic cookie ‘tins’ for under the tree. Got about a dozen left over from today’s batch of oatmeals with raisins. First come…

Or you might want to wait for tomorrow. Don’t know which ones yet. Might be PB, CC or GS.

Gingrich up a little, Bachman back behind Romney and Huntsman.

these dumbasses didn’t understand what he said.

No regulations. None. Toxic waste in water, tainted food, collapsing mines….no problem.

Romney just gained points.

Oh, boy. No EPA. Dump your arsenic wherever you want. Goes for nucular waste, too. Romney: Let markets determine your future. Open up energy resources. Wow, the Norh Slope is going to start to look like the Nigerian Delta.

Made chocolate chip cookies last night. Great for breakfast this morning, and after lunch, and maybe another one soon…hope I don’t start resembling Governor Christie.

I’ve found that reading the comments here without watching the debate helps tremendously. I get the overall idea of the happenings at the goat rodeo without the aggravation. And there is plenty of snark to make it pleasant.

Let’s impeach Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts, then Newtie…!

Fuck SCOTUS!

Not a problem, as market will take care of it. After enough people die, remaining workers/consumers will no longer work there/buy the product.

President Gingrich is having a graduate student moment!

@EWErickson: Third person today tells me they got polled in New Hampshire and the list of candidates was Romney, Newt, and Jeb Bush.

https://twitter.com/#!/philipaklein/status/147112256835039232

Hey why not abolish the supremes or at least limit their terms to like 2 years??

Yes. let’s do it.

LOL!

I don’t watch either but I do enjoy the comments here. They’re funny while the debates are not. I’m sorta sorry I missed Paul slapping Newt around though.

Abolish the Ninth Circuit…? I bet bmaz is totally thrilled with that garbage…!

Gingrich, Wow. I testified that we love god and I have warned everyone that I will be like Jackson, Jefferson, and FDR that I will disband courts that say you don’t have do verbally bow to god. (BTW, my hick City Council just went on an “Under God” kick and think that intoning “Under God” is the cat’s pajamas. It is a princapal of the Tea Party.)

I’m game…! ;-)

I eat fewer cookies when I make them myself.

Wait. That didn’t come out right.

Well, it did.

What I mean is that home made taste sooo much better that I am satisfied with fewer.

My weekend guest wanted PB cookie recipe, which she asked by email once she got home. From a frozen dough from last year, and I gave her a bag for her drive home. It’s the one from Joy of Cooking. So easy peasy. But so delish.

Ditto.

amazing i agree with Perry. Limit the time they are on the bench.

The race is tightening up. Paul, Gingrich, narrowly followed by Romney. The rest are in a peleton at 50%. The question the fox meter asks is “are the candidates answering the questions.”

A better question would be, “Can any of the candidates even understand the questions?”

Here comes the bomb Iran chorus

Must agree with Pauls anti-war in Iran stand even though he is repellent to me.

We distort, you deride.

Paul is spectacular on anti-war, civil rights, completely nuts on economy, property rights (aka environment).

Paul fading slightly. Romney, Gingrich and Bachman tied. The rest slightly behind. Margin of error plus or minus 100% considering the source and the likely fingers on the twitter triggers.

Do any of the questioners understand the questions.

gee Santorum, why does Iran hate us so?

Rich. A radical theocratist calling Iran a radical theocracy. douchebag.

Ron Paul is the sanest voice amongst the bunch…! What a low bar to clear, I know, but, dayam…!

Fox totally diappointed that they couldn’t get Paul to say “bomb Iran”.

Pshaw. I was rooting for Huntsman. I think I would have voted for him.

Isn’t it interesting that he doesn’t seem to realize that the economy has everything to do with rights – civil and otherwise.

It’s pretty amazing that despite all attempts of pravdanda, majority of U.S. public still has its head screwed on properly. Gives you great insight into Soviet Union.

Obama shrunk our military? When? I must have missed it.

Mitt, choad, do you think Iran is going to give back the Drone? Dummy.

We need a strong military so we can fuck up anybody.

They took down the meter for Perry. I hope it is glitch. I thought Neal Cavuto was sort of dissing him. Maybe Rupert made a call to Central Services.

‘lose the peace’ is an oxymoron

It’s a mental disease caused by lapsed synapse.

Bachmann… ‘Obama is trying to lose the peace’ *gah*

I know she’s a pretty woman but Bachman has crazy-looking eyes.

We need to nuke Iran before they develop a nuke because they might use it.

Paul is rawking…!

They’re a window on her soul.

Yeah, bomb the fucks.

That’s it Ron is winning Iowa.

Actually, they prolly will give it back. Didn’t China give back the U.S. military jet? In boxes full of pieces?

It’s getting good: Paul, Santorum, Romney. Perry back on the board.

How could Iran nuke the Dome of the Rock?

Shut your Hole Bachmann

Bachman appealing to the “United States people” to kill Paul for not wanting to bomb Iran.

Ron Paul was just magnificent. For all you not watching, try to catch it on youtube.

What’s with the Mr. Speaker bullshit. Pudgey is more accurate.

Danielle Pletka, prez of AEI, so neocon in chief, sez Iran will not use bomb but need to bomb Iran anyway so Israel will be chief cook & bottle washer in ME.

Paul has got this one right. There will be no end to war if you follow Bachman.

Picky, picky, picky

Newt cracks me up when he does his Jesus imitation with the outstretched arms. Mostly, because his arms are so short that I now think of (as someone here mentioned) the Pillsbury dough boy.

They need a huge gong to shut these people up.

Idea for a new reality show-America’s next war criminal, featuring the republican candidates. Obama, cheney and the shrub can judge because they are already lifetime members.

Just saying.

When weighing flakes vs. solid citizens (one of my fave binaries)…

The professor is getting pissy

The key Q is does newticles wear french cuffs with fancy cuff links. Otherwise he doesn’t count.

Paul, Gingich, Perry. (Wiping brains off of the screen.) Perry operatives must have hacked the system. That’s why his Fux-o-meter was offline for a minute.

They need a huge bgong to shut these people up.

Fixed it for ya.

Loss of jobs figures is a total lie.

But he got the votes.

Huntsman is for fracking now. Shut up dummy.

He is right. O will cave in.

#141 O always caves. It is his secret weapon.

more job loss lies from Bachmann

Michele’s right – Obama’s all about his re-election

He should always be referred to as the disgraced former Mr. Speaker.

her pants are on fire

Frack him.

Perry: states are lavatories of innovation.

Lavatories of innovation. Perry please.

did he say “lavatories?”

Perry: We can’t pick winners and losers, except in the Middle East.

You are kidding – right????

I meant Ni@@erhead Please

10th amendment does not apply to Keystone, though. Or drone flights over Oregon.

Oh, my god. It is not over. I have to cook dinner or I’ll be up all night. He said it’s round 3. Are there 9 rounds?

They should have to go on a month long reality show like survivor so we can see which one is the real galtian bootstrap’in American.

these fox observers sound a wee bit sloshed – I wonder what their drinking game is

How big a fence would you build?

There is a fox bloviator with a beard and a mouth full of phlem talking about how 70% of the public believes Iran is an imminent threat to “Isreal, the US, and the rest of the world.” OMG. The Fox heavyweights are all on the set and the second stringers provide the intermission comments. What a bunch of couch potatoes.

The Panel of Choads on break is worthless

no, see others heard it too.
I wonder how long it took Perry to commit the anniversary of the bill of rights to long term memory? He looked proud of himself.

Chug one every time the amphibian says ‘frankly”?

The border is safer than it’s ever been. Perry please

Hamas and Hezbollah are on the border trying to get in.

Hezbolah, and Hamas in Mexico. Perry for Prez, Santorum for VP. Cain for Secty. of Defense.

OOOO the new badass santorum. Ha Ha frothy bad ass

you’ll be under the table in no time!

Jihadist training camps in South America.. that’s a new one.

Are these guys macho or what??? They’d fire everyone and bomb the rest.

Bachmann for First Lady.

Oh Rudy he’s a real idea man. Go , about your experts some more.

Saint Terrorism: Obama embracing “scoundrels” like Ortega and Chavez and not loving the Hondouras golpistas.
Romney: give ID system to the VISA. I’ve got to call my broker.

Heard on Fox earlier today that the terrorists are in Mexico preparing to deploy a cyber weapon in the US. Every time we create something great like the internet those damn terrorists try to turn it into a weapon.

Gee, you mean like stuxnet?

Prolly would provide better choice than U.S. Ds & Rs.

These TPers should be for voting for all workers otherwise it is taxation without representation.

Obama insulted the Golpistas of Honduras?

Arizona deliberately violates federal law Pudgey.

Ha Ha the values of the RepublaChoads

Here’s a question for the geniuses: If you were to be elected, do you think the economy you inherit from O would be better or worse than the one he inherited from Bush?

Mitt = Pretzelman!

Smart Mitts you want both sides of all issues. We get it.

I guess, so. Probably by not shooting Zelaya.
Chris Wallace: I can see why that moron is against abortion!!

Fox is going after Mitts harder than the other candidates.

Hassan Nasrallah for DHS or Sec of Defense!

brett and chris no like him

Ha Ha Mitts is a knot so tight it can’t be unraveled

Only at repub debates is a ban on assault weapons and a 5 day waiting period a monstrous thing.

They are against abortion because it causes downward pressure on wages.

Romney fought against required gay marriage.

Under the indefinite detention bill just passed, could a pres santorum disappear all the gays?

Santorum, is going all gay freak out. ha ha Mitts clear as mud.

Once again, I can’t get past Bachman’s crazy eyes.

Now they are coming to there senses. Gingrich, Santorum, Perry and Romney. Paul’s meter is down. For a for a while I thought this poll was fixed.

Ok you’re anti-gay Mitts. Done

What a bunch of great christians on that stage. Jesus would be proud!

Yes.

Newt campaigned to make soup with partial birth abortions.

Did Bachman actually say moment of conception is a “seminal” issue? Oh, the irony.

I’m serious, bitches!

Infanticide? Huh?

Didn’t Rick Santorum’s wife have a necessary “partial birth abortion” or close to it?

Thou shall not spill …

Q: So after all these debates, how will Iowa republicans vote?

A: However fox and hate radio tell them to

Gawd… Sometimes I truly regret being such a political junkie…! This clown car pileup truly tests one’s stamina…! *gah*

Ron Regan dug up again.

Perry quoted someone “who’s name doesn’t come to mind”. LOL

Repubs always eat their own. That’s the process

That’s bc she’s nuts.

I think most Cs of C operate on the same principal.

Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan. Recall his 12th Commandment: Don’t bite down, Nancy.

Everybody on stage is a serial liar. Deal with it.

Thank god no more debates for a while.

Michele, revive that corpse.

LOL -

but given corporate control of the state houses, that may be the right phrase!

Thanks be BeeJeebus it’s over…! ;-)

Blow is a figure of speech, Nancy.

So who won tonight? Personally, I’m not sure but I do think Ron Paul had the best moment.

hahaha

Maybe I am on a delay “livestream”. I just heard Bachmann indicate that abortion is seminal, too. Not irony deprived here.

Who ya gonna trust. Ghostbusters.

Final meter reading: Santorum won!

*heh* How fitting…! ;-)

Mahalo, jc for the metering…! *g*

That’s disgusting. Who will clean up the mess.

Newt’s demagoguery of Israel and Palestine has paid off. Sheldon Adelson has committed $20 million to his super PAC.
I wonder if the The anti-newt establishment and the old conservatives like Buchanan will fight to end citizen’s united now.

thanks everybody!
See you all after the caucuses

More like pidgen English from a 1930′s Tarzan script.
“Me Tarzan, you Jane.” Me gyn, you chiropractor?”

What I want to know is how much has Adelson/AIPAC already shelled out to all these clown car participants’ warchests…! *gah*

That would be hard to check… but the Jewish establishment had a debate and paul was disinvited.

She is probably still trying to figure out where the fingerholes are located lol. One would have thought a woman of her experience . . .See Jack Warner.
