Dennis Miller had a good bit on O'Reilly tonight. He said the Republican candidates are like characters from an old west movie: Romney is the stage coach driver, holding the reins and leading the charge; Gingrich is the old crusty crumudgeon next to him shooting the Indians; Santorum is the preacher riding in the coach with his family who is moving west; Paul is the gambler who keeps telling everyone that there are no Indians just as one shoots him right in the temple. It was a good bit, but I think Terry's CD analogy for Romney beats it.

One More Time
Okay guys, the last debate for a month is Thursday night on CNN at 7 our time - and I have that right this time. Let's roll with it one more time and then we'll have a break. Obama gave the candidates lots of bait in the SOTU (did I mention I didn't watch?) judging from the sound bites I've heard today. The crowd will be back in it this time. 8:30 start time.

That's 8:30 start time for the blogging.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing - isn't it overstatement for Gingrich to keep saying "factually false." Wouldn't just "false" do it? He also says "factually correct" which is redundant. Aren't facts by definition correct? Those two phrases kill me.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Ma, 830...
ReplyDeleteReady for the debate at 830, also ready for the break. I want to see how Newt does in the polls w/o the debate bumps. Here is my new musical anology for the remaining candidates. We have a long tough drive in the dark over rough roads ahead...
ReplyDeleteRon Paul - AM news, sports, weather, ag reports, maybe a Little Orphan Annie serial re-run but at night switches to 12 hours of the crazy conspiracy guy, ultimately not for me.
Rick Santorum-Christrian music station, some hymns (Gathers) but a lot of Christian Rock. Good message that I should be uplifted by, but for some reason I just don't care for it as it just does not get me going.
Mitt Romney-Easy listening, a lot of decent songs that I know and like but given the drive ahead it does not get me going.
Newt Gingrich-That rock station that plays great tunes but then throws in a speed metal song, a power ballad, or the occasional rap song in its rotation. Its like, what? I was just pumped and moving along with Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Free Bird" (or "Sabatoge" by the Beastie Boys) and then you throw a bad song at me, COME ON!
Still with Newt, but COME ON, stop playing Puffy Daddy and Journey...you're killing me.
here we go
ReplyDeleteLove it Terry. Wish I knew all the bands and songs, but you've got it. You're the master of analogy. Here we go. Newt's had a rough day. I can't tell you how many times I turn on Rush and he's referencing something I've already read that day. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYea, I'm ready for a break, too. But here we go. Audience noise is back. Maybe we can stay awake on this one.
Rush had a good defense of Newt today...
ReplyDeleteProbably will fast forward through Paul again, but will listen to Santorum.
ReplyDeleteWhy has Newt had a rough day? Did he get in a huge fight with his spouse over wanting to buy his kids pottery barn furniture?
ReplyDeleteNewt needs a BIG night. His poll numbers are down in Florida.
ReplyDeleteYup...I am starting to believe Obama would whoop Romney
ReplyDeleteYou knew that was going to happen, Katie. How long have you been married?????
ReplyDeleteListen, Obama's gonna win. Newt's the only guy who has a fighting chance.
ReplyDeleteDon't sing with the singers!
ReplyDeleteNew furniture, really, I thought you just bought some
ReplyDeleteCrowd cheering, yes....Ron Paul is crazy
ReplyDeleteI love that you can refresh through F5, I hate that you have to scroll back down. I know Romney has 5 sons, 5 straight sons and 16 grandkids.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of hearing about Santorums grandfather. Whoopie.
ReplyDeleteLet go of the hate...he's out in about a week
ReplyDeleteIf Santorum talks about "stolen" SSN's again I'm gonna scream.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you can open the comment section in a new tab, bigger than the pop up
ReplyDeleteTrue, I won't say another Santorum word.
ReplyDeleteYeah, cause illegals don't steal SSNs. The is sooooooooooooo rare
ReplyDeleteHOw?
ReplyDeleteHow do they steal them, they buy them online or use a legal friend/relatives
ReplyDeleteSame ol same ol on the immigration issue
ReplyDeleteLOL! Brought over by Coyotes. At least Romney knows the lingo :)
ReplyDeleteNo, I meant How do I change the comments view.
ReplyDeleteYeah, coyotes...I hate the way Mitt stares at the person answering
ReplyDeletePaul can take one question and then go 360 degrees in another direction and then the next time we know he's anti-war again!
ReplyDeleteRight click on the comment section and say open in a new tab
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooooooo, Mitt gets pissed at Newt. He has been working on his angry voice
ReplyDeleteWow, Romney wins that one. Sorry, Newt :(
ReplyDeleteMitt's self deport idea is stupid, but he wins the round on emotion
ReplyDeleteQuit listening to Paul. The response to Newt's line about English surprised me. People are passionate about that.
ReplyDeleteI like that the crowd is back
ReplyDeleteYes, thank God for the crowd!
ReplyDeleteYea, that's the first time Mitt's gotten righteously angry and done so effectively. Score one for Mitt.
ReplyDeleteMove on, Newt. Mitt won.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the English thing is making some noise
ReplyDelete"Our problem is not 11 million grandmothers." Mitt just newted Newt.
ReplyDeleteQue Pasa?
ReplyDeleteYeah, again Mitt's ideas are stupid, but he wins on emotion
ReplyDeleteRon Paul just wants to play nice and make friends with Latin American and all will be well
ReplyDeleteRick is in the weeds on Honduras, I know where he is going but I don't think many others do
ReplyDeleteFunny, Katie.
ReplyDeletePaul - you are bitter old man. It's like you just want to bring up the fact we shouldn't be in war on EVERY question. Congressman Paul, "What is favorite color." Well I tell you what it's not. It's not green. There is too much green. And that green is on Army uniforms and those uniforms on Army people and those Army people are in Afghanistan and we aren't the nations police. (written during whatever Santorum was saying about Hondurous...blah..blah..blah)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Rick had a nice come back on Paul....WAR, EVERYONE BUT ME WANTS WAR, Rick said no such thing
ReplyDeleteKatie, you make me belly laugh.
ReplyDeleteWow! Breaking news on the ad DURING the debate. Never scene that before. A fact check during a debate.
ReplyDeleteFreddie and Fanny set up question from the "public" to set up Newt...man are they piling on.
ReplyDeleteA legit Freddie Mac question and Mitt turns it into an attack. Answer the damn question. I'd say that if it were Newt doing that, too.
ReplyDeleteThis has degraded into mud slinging between Newt and Mitt. They should just arm wrestle
ReplyDeleteWow Newt, you are getting it handed it to you.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord, this is not a debate of ideas...it is lets just punch each other for about 2 hours
ReplyDeleteLet's get back to the issues
ReplyDeleteWow. Boos and claps at the same time. I'm really getting tired of this from both sides. This is really getting ugly and stupid. We have serious problems and Freddie and Frannie are a big part of it and this is what we get. I'm getting pissed now. Newt and Mitt both are making me sick.
ReplyDeleteFinally Newt actually answers the question that was asked.
ReplyDeleteThis is Paul's wheelhouse, I like listening to him on these issues
ReplyDeleteSomeone has a golden opportunity here to take the high road and just stop this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWow. Score for Santorum.
ReplyDeleteIf Rick were a viable 3rd candidate, he would be rising after this, but I don't just see it. Good for you Rick, LETS GET BACK TO THE ISSUES
ReplyDeleteScore one for Ron Paul. A big one. Newt is nodding his head. TAKE THE HIGH ROAD, NEWT, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!
ReplyDeleteMa, Santorum did just that! Thank you Jesus!
ReplyDeleteCOME ON WOLF, good for you Newt. Rick slams them for not issues and Wolf want to see them fighting
ReplyDeleteThat mess between Newt and Mitt is exactly why Santorum stays in. Go Rick! Great point! Why doesn't he catch on????? That is a serious question. Why doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Wolf isn't going to take it like John King does.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Newt. Wolf is getting booed. Mitt's taking the low road. And here we go.
ReplyDeleteOh Newt, your shovel working at full steam.
ReplyDeleteNewt back on track with the tax answer...is not looking good up til then
ReplyDeletePolicing the World on a tax question! I'm starting to love Paul, he kills me.
ReplyDeletePaul - WTF are you talking about. He's incapable of answering a direct question.
ReplyDeleteHe is scary amusing, I cannot believe people like him
ReplyDeleteDon't let Mitt fool you. He can be a very nasty man. This tax the rich thing is ridiculous. Rush made a great point today. If you take ALL the revenue from the nearly 9000 people in this country who make more than 10 million per year you could run this country for 11 days. Taxing the rich more will do nothing.
ReplyDeleteMEDICAL RECORDS! CNN sucks
ReplyDeleteSpeaker Gingrich you are the fatass person on the stage. Are you willing to lose 50lbs as to serve as President? And way to compliment Paul to avoid your own issue Newt!
ReplyDeleteYou gotta it Ma, Mitt is nasty...he is going to get creamed by Obama
ReplyDeletePaul gets to look like the happy smiley good guy because no one is after him. Seriously. Let's pretend Paul drops out. Who do his voters go to?
ReplyDeleteAnd great answer Paul, you can't discriminate against AGE!
ReplyDelete50 percent of his voters are dems keeping him afloat
ReplyDeleteYea. Screw the medical questions. So Hilary, if you win the nomination are you going to get a facelift? Assholes.
ReplyDeleteDone with space programs question...Debt, Iran, Obamacare, Afganistan, spending,
ReplyDeleteHillary, how will menopause affect you as President?
ReplyDeleteThey are only talking about space because they are in Florida.
ReplyDeleteTough start for Newt, I'm back with him.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they aren't hitting social security. It's the entitlement programs, social security, medicaid, medicare, that will soon go bankrupt. Have any of those programs been talked about at all let alone the debt and the deficit and the overblown government. I agree with Mitt on this one. Get real. We don't have the money for a colony on the moon. Score a big one for Romney. "We've got to say no to this kind of spending." Mitt is right.
ReplyDeleteAngry Rick has been practicing as well
ReplyDeleteWait for it, I think Newt redeems himself
ReplyDeleteBreaking Christensen news...Jeremy's still not speaking to me! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteMa'am you look like you would make an excellent hooker.
ReplyDeletePaul, can't answer her question. He's pathetic.
ReplyDeleteThink tea party for the last 3 years. Think 2010 election. We are so far from those issues in the debates. Republican candidates should bring every question back to the basic issues on the economy.
ReplyDeleteYep, Paul punts....no emotion
ReplyDeletePaul can only talk about what he believes are the problems. He has no answers.
ReplyDelete2010 seems like 10 years ago
ReplyDeleteOkay, finally. Back to the economy. Thanks, hooker girl.
ReplyDeleteThey prefer to be call Vagina entrepreneurs
ReplyDeleteSomeone pass her some condoms and a kleenex.
ReplyDeleteFinally going after Obama. Can you imagine how many questions a Bush SOTU would generate from the press for either a republican or a democrat debate. It would be interesting to log how many questions there have been in ANY debate that referenced Obama.
ReplyDeletespeaking of vaginas, I've got a pissed off husband and I want some furniture....uggghhhhhhh - guess I'm off to work tonight too.
ReplyDeleteYuck Kate, just plain yuck
ReplyDeleteAngry Rick is back, he is getting redder and redder
ReplyDeleteOh Terry, please, don't think your wife uses it to get her way as well. It's what females do.
ReplyDeleteNo comment
ReplyDeleteThink how frustrating it must be to be Santorum. Right on almost everything and getting no traction.
ReplyDeleteShut up Rick, MA can chose what they want to do. States Rights, are you a Republican or what?
ReplyDeleteRick is right, Mitt is sputtering...if Mitt wins this is a preview of debates to come vs. Obama
ReplyDeleteSantorum is right. Obama will kill Romney on this issue. Rick is doing Newt a favor. Santorum is so winning this one.
ReplyDeleteAre we blogging about a debate or sex?
Mitt just turns it to Obama. Good move.
ReplyDeleteWolf wants to move on, NO STAY WITH IT....
ReplyDeleteHow's dad? Have you checked on him? Wash is nasty sheets.
ReplyDeleteNo, Kate. Romneycare is not anything a self respecting conservative would tolerate.
ReplyDeleteWe agree again, Terry. Thinking the same thing at the same time.
Obama is going to clobber Mitt with this, an hours worth of the debate will be devoted to Mitt sputtering on Romneycare
ReplyDeleteYou dad is fine. He ate a good supper and just went to bed on clean sheets.
ReplyDeleteIs he going to work tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteHispanic Americans....Good Lord, lets see who can name the most hispanics in about 2 minutes. Alex Rodriquez, uh SPeedy Gonzalez, uh...The girl who cleans my toilets...wait, oh crap
ReplyDeletePaul said WAR in a which hispanic do you like question. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
ReplyDeleteMitt is a douche bag...
ReplyDeleteSantorum has been the only candidate who can be counted on to hit Romney on Romneycare. Up until tonight it's been a missed opportunity. Forget his investments and tax returns. Keep hitting him there if you want to hurt him.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Terry - So Wolf's gonna ask why their wife would make a good First Lady. Who ever, and I mean WHO EVER says, because she gives good head, is getting my vote. Even if its Paul. But it won't be because he will say because she hates war.
ReplyDeleteAnd next up a first lady question. OMG. I can't stand it.
ReplyDeleteYup, I think there is a reason Newt has not hammered him with it...That is a winning blow, not tax rates, investments, blah, blah, blah..
ReplyDeleteDarci would make a GREAT first lady
ReplyDeleteOMG Mitt. Exploiting your own wife's illnesses. And with no emotion.
ReplyDeletePaul's answer was so dumb about his wife. Romney's answer was great.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Terry!!
ReplyDeleteCNN sucks, again Wolfe is picking a fight and ignoring ISSUES
ReplyDeleteI miss Bachmann's husband. I think Santorum almost said his wife is hot!
ReplyDeleteI thought Romney's answer was good.
ReplyDeleteSantorum's answer would have been good if it didn't feel like he was plugging his wife's boobs...I mean book.
ReplyDeleteNewt takes the bait, AGAIN....Come on Newt, stop accepting the fight with Mitt CNN is setting up for you
ReplyDeleteWhat do you miss about Bachmans husband?
ReplyDeleteHow horny are you Kate....take 5, we will wait
ReplyDeleteNewt's wife needs to dye her hair brown. I'm serious. Someone tell her.
ReplyDeletePlease!!!! No Reagan wars!!!! Newt! Mitt! Don't take the bait. Get back to issues!
ReplyDeleteI'm not but we haven't heard from Mom in awhile. If anyone is taking 5 it would be her.
ReplyDeleteDon't care about Cuba....
ReplyDeleteYup. There it is. Newt took the bait. Shit. Bachmann's husband is weird. I was kidding.
ReplyDeleteCNN is controlling the debate and those dimwits are letting it happen.
Ron Paul is HILARIOUS, WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR WAR...sounds like Obama more and more
ReplyDeleteI'm not taking YOUR bait, Katie.
ReplyDeleteMitt didn't take the bait, skipped Wolfe trying to get him to fight Paul and went straight to Obama
ReplyDeleteIs this over yet?
ReplyDeleteSee!!!!!! Blitzer tried to DEFLECT an attack on Obama and put Mitt back on Paul. It's so BLATANT. Protect Obama - pit those guys against each other. They got tons of ammunition in the SOTU, and who has referenced that? Mitt a couple of times. That's it.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Terry.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Mitt and with stand it? oooooo Palestine question
ReplyDeleteI dont' like Mitt speaking for Isreal, what would YOU do, not what you think they think
ReplyDeleteHere we go, a Palestinian question.
ReplyDeleteCastro is still alive? ooooopsie
ReplyDeleteAnd CNN sets up who gets the question first, given to Mitt to show some cred so the others piggyback on his answer.
ReplyDeleteMitt's answer is right.
ReplyDeleteAnd CNN skips others, Rick did not get to answer the Palestine qustion
ReplyDeletePuerto Rico, I quit....COME ON CNN YOU SUCK, bring back Diane
ReplyDeleteThe Palestinians in Jerusalem WANT the Israeli's to stay in control.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to sound racist here, but what % of Floridians are hispanic? Where are the white guys????? What % of this debate is dominated by hispanics???
BECAUSE CNN SUCKS...A TOTAL HACK JOB
ReplyDeleteDown with the Puerto Ricans!
ReplyDeleteIf you're still there, Katie, does Rick Santorum have a broad enough point of reference for you tonight? (Good friends with the governor or Puerto Rico, very well versed on issues in Central America, etc.)
ReplyDeleteWould that religion question be asked in a democrat debate?
ReplyDeleteThat he met in Church.
ReplyDeleteNope, CNN hackjob...this debate is pissing me off.
ReplyDeleteI must have debate fatigue. This whole night is pissing me off.
ReplyDeleteShoot that stupid attorney.
ReplyDeleteThere we go again, Terry.
ReplyDeleteThis debate is pissing me off as well. Everyone is pissed off in my household.
ReplyDeleteThe only saving grace....stupid, stupid questions. But how many "uhs" and "ums" did you hear. They all can answer coherently, Obama is a stuttering moron who would fake a stroke if he were in this debate
ReplyDeleteI guarantee that no democrat would have answered that question as well as these guys have.
ReplyDeleteNewt's answer makes me laugh.
ReplyDeletePaul is crazy, I know i keep saying it but I have no other way of expressing it. He is CRAZY
ReplyDeleteMitt goes back to the well on the final question, and bores the shit out of me.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Terry.
ReplyDeleteAgain, Katie, you knew how j would react. You're banging your head up against a brick wall and you keep doing it. You made your bed......
Yup. Uninspiring Mitt. What answer of Newt's made you laugh, Katie?
ReplyDeleteNewt and "I believe..." bad showing tonight but I am still with him. Ended well
ReplyDeleteMom, but my approach was SO different and w/in 1 minute he was flying off the handle. Had I presented a freaking gun to buy he would have been all ears, but his kids beds. pfffttt. Now you are pissing me off. Paul, shut up. No more debates, I can't handle it anymore.
ReplyDeleteRick's answer to the final question explains why he has no traction.
ReplyDeleteNo wrap up for me, i got what the kids got. Pooped liquid twice during the debate. Love you guys
Mitt, Obama got elected by going around saying, YES WE CAN. Get a damn tag line. You give your stupid ass resume everytime. You need to shut up too.
ReplyDeleteNewt's answer did not piss me off. But Newt's answer made me more pissed at Romney's answer. Romeny, get a freakin lesson from a motivation speaker. SERIOUSLY.
ReplyDeleteSantorum....I'm no longer pissed off at you but go home to your 7 kids and keep breeding.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Katie. Sorry. And I agree with you about Mitt. Get a tag line. Good point.
ReplyDeleteThat's it for debates for a month.
My prediction: Mitt wins Florida and goes on to win the nomination. You heard it hear first.
My prediction: MiM will vote for a sausage.
ReplyDelete
