How many times has Obama been blamed for the bad economy already?  Does anyone keep count?

I have a bottle of Clontarf. Should I take a drink every time it happens?  :P

It should help dull the pain if you insist on watching the debate, yes.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

It took 12 minutes for an appeal to Ronald Reagan. Newt's first sentence, actually.

Pawlenty just outright called Bachmann a liar and a failure.  :lmfao:

Are they fighting over who will cut revenue more?

What on Earth is the point in watching religion-induced insanity debate with Voodoo-economics fanaticism!?

Wow, that spine implant sure is working.  Maybe it's working too well, it needs to be tuned further.

Our innate desire to be dominated and tortured.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Moderator: When you were governor you raised taxes and balanced your budget, doesn't this mean that raising taxes might be used to balance the budget?
Pawlenty/Romney: No


idiots..... reality doesn't seem to impact either of those idiots

I've said it before - I'll repeat it again:  The US will crumble under the weight of its own internal contradictions.  And that schizophrenic fixation about taxation (and state power behind it) among the American Populus is one of the most glaring of those contradictions; in fact I'd wager it's what will drive their republic under.  Mark my word.

If society actually implemented the things Gral wants, he would be the first against the wall.  :P

Today's GOP ideology should be viewed as religion, and the kind of religion invented by a crazed lunatic.
