Yes, Fox News is your go-to channel for the latest installment in the ongoing series of torture devices known as “debates.” Well, this one isn’t exactly a debate, more like a series of right wing nuts interviewing other right wing nuts.
Including AG Ken Cuccinelli, a true wingnut kook who’s currently focused on harassing climate scientists.

A child with two hands clutching a hungry stomach is a child with two hands that can push a broom. They’d earn a few bucks on the side, learn valuable scrubbing techniques, and become accustomed to the debilitating joint and back pain which will soon become their constant companions in a life of fruitless toil in the service industry.
I have talked to several armed forces superiors and they have stated that the child supersoldiers of Africa can easily handle automatic weapons, and also that their still-developing brains have not fully learned to fear death.

Rick Santorum: “We’ve seen a radical environmental policy by this administration.” He’s got to be joking. Obama has been infuriatingly timid in his environmental policies.

Not the only one he’ll miss either —

“Lol. We look forward to watching Mitt and Newt suck-up to The Donald with a big bowl of popcorn,”

Bachmann: Obamacare is the “social engineering playground of the left, and it has to be stopped.”
Congresswoman Bachmann, can you name 3 specific portions of “Obamacare” that you dislike, and explain why you don’t like them?
Otherwise, the statement makes zero sense. Zero.
Argh! That’s why I’m watching a lousy football game. It’s less aggravating.

The Republicans are so blinded by their deep personal hatred of Barack Obama, they barely realize that their top contenders are (1) a former IRS attorney who went after taxpayers (Bachmann), (2) a guy who talks about family values but surprised wife #1 with divorce papers when she was terminally ill, then years later surprised wife #2 with divorce papers when she was terminally ill (Gingrich), (3) the Governor who presided over legalizing same-sex marriage and universal healthcare in Massachusetts (Romney), and (4) a Governor who insisted on in-state tuition breaks for illegal residents, and tried to mandate (!) the HPV vaccine for teenagers in Texas. It seems strange that these are the candidates favored by the Tea Baggers, but then again the Tea Baggers are pretty far gone.
Meanwhile, the only sane candidate, Jon Huntsman, doesn’t seem to be getting any traction, because he worked for The Evil One (Obama) as Ambassador to China.
