Image via ShutterstockThe Fox News GOP kiddie table debate is about to begin, with Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. Rand Paul threw a tantrum and decided to take his ball and go home, but the other three piled into the clown car and they’re getting ready to square off, if you can call saying exactly the same things on every subject “squaring off.”
You can watch this debacle, I mean debate, on the web here.
I folded during the last debate, for lack of proper preparation. Will use this hour to collect nutritious food, strong drink, and out-of-date painkillers from the back of my sock drawer.
Less than ten minutes for a Benghazi reference

Yeah. I’ve come across so many anti-PP rallies in my day that I’ve come to realize they’re some of the biggest dicks on earth. Total chuds. I’v never been able to keep my trap shut though.

I hope someone on stage makes a Rand Paul joke.
ummm, Huckster, we DO have the worlds strongest military and the B-52 is a testament to American engineering.
Wait, we shouldn’t allow refugees in because….we have illegal immigrants in this country?
Greetings from the air, glad there is no way to watch this debate here. Getting on board proved a bit more stressful with United forcing people to line up in groups, but no problem.
The real debate tonight is being recorded at my destination, so will be able to zip through that dreck to see if there are any fireworks. I will be surprised if there are.

One thing about the Navy/Iran thing that struck me - invariably, the wingnuts making a stink refer to Iran as our enemy. Allan West went on about how you don’t surrender to an enemy, etc., while others of course go on about how weak we are, letting an enemy do this to us.
But the thing is, if THEY are OUR enemy, then WE are THEIR enemy, and who would let any enemy craft enter their territorial waters and not respond? Do they imagine we were EVER so feared that any adversary would not do AT LEAST what Iran did?

That’s spot on. Hell some of the more honest Republicans admit their idea of bipartisanship is the Dems giving in completely to what they want. Honestly, we got one party who has its flaws but lives in reality.Meanwhile the other party wants to take us back to an America that never has existed.

The “undercard” debates exist not only to sell more advertising, but also to avoid the headache of choosing between having all 13 on one stage or dealing with complaints that the candidates excluded weren’t getting “equal air time.” The networks likely don’t want to have to argue that the debates are anything but long infomercials for the various candidates.

But that decision itself was arbitrary, as shown by leaving off Gilmore.
The choice of who gets on stage was always about getting only the most popular on stage. But after Feb 1 it will be clear that some of these current folk will follow Graham and Pataki off the campaign trail.
Are the post Feb 1 undercard debates only going to have two people? Because that is what it will come down to when Huckabee leaves, which he promised to do if he doesn’t do well in Iowa.

re: #181 Targetpractice
The “undercard” debates exist not only to sell more advertising, but also to avoid the headache of choosing between having all 13 on one stage or dealing with complaints that the candidates excluded weren’t getting “equal air time.” The networks likely don’t want to have to argue that the debates are anything but long infomercials for the various candidates.
None of the candidates are getting the same amount of air time as the yooge bombastic loudmouth
Remember, they booed the Golden Rule at the SC debate in 2012. Bless their hearts.
I’d also like to take a moment to share my debate predictions. Ready?

Huckabee on Social Security was so idiotic - yeah I know, that can be said of all topics.
But on social security payments the truth is simply this - money is created and destroyed virtually by our banking system. Money is no longer physical thing. It is not gold, or silver, or anything. Money is a social agreement.
When someone collects more in SS payments than what they paid in during their lifetime, they are the beneficiaries of a net transfer of wealth from current workers to themselves.
Huckabee is too much of a coward to stand up in front of the Fox watchers to state that.

I know that there is a lot of cognizant dissonance going on here… but to claim a “renaissance” by tearing apart children from their parents…
This is beyond double-speak.
“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy.”

Carly can’t even negotiate her way out of the GOP undercard. She’s out of her league, and the sole issue on which she runs - her business experience - is one that would ordinarily disqualify anyone from running.
She attempted to run two legendary companies into the ground - Lucent (the former Bell Labs) and HP. She nearly succeeded in both cases because her business judgment was atrocious. But thanks to a golden parachute she ended up doing better than the thousands who lost their job due to her mismanagement.

I found out that my sister is one of those this week. At Christmas, I walked in on my sisters having a conversation about ‘women’s issues’ and they said I probably wouldn’t want to listen. I made a joke about Trump calling Hillary ‘disgusting’ and then tried to end the conversation (I’d promised myself that I wouldn’t bring up anything political).
My sister emailed me last week to demand that I explain why I hated straight women so much. She apparently hates Hillary so badly that making any kind of connection to Hillary and other women is a slap in the face to all straight women. This was her actual argument. She was mortified to be lumped in with Hillary as a woman. She thinks Hillary should be in jail.
I finally got her to apologize today. She kind of confirmed that she had written it while drunk, but she still stands by her compete and utter hatred of Hillary.
I was going to tell her to quit watching Fox News, but I decided to quit while I was ahead.

“We need not resort to any fanciful British origins of the name Peneverdant, as it is clearly the effort of a Norman scribe to write down the unpronounceable English name Penwortham.”

Thank you for your commitment and good luck in avoiding “drain bamage”. ;)

If only the economy was creating jobs …
Opening video was amateurish. Also, “job creators”.

Seems to be their position that 10 sailors in two bass boats should go in shooting and start the war. We would have the element of surprise.

Iran letting American hostages go free without giving Iran arms is not something Reagan would have let stand!
Just tuning in. I’m all ready sick of this shit.
