TagsTagsHere's a second live-snarking thread for the CNN Republican Party debate, as they approach the last few minutes with a deluge of xenophobia and atavism, but not a single question about science education, evolution, or climate change...
It's time for the final appearance of the GOP Clown Car before Super Tuesday, as the remaining four candidates try to make the American public believe there's a single ounce of difference between any of them. Tonight's debate may go down in history as the first time a Presidential candidate was ...
Another Republican debate has come to a close, so here's the wrap-up thread to try to make sense of a party of millionaires that attacks its own for being millionaires...
Here's a second thread to discuss the second hour of the sixth GOP debate this month, as the millionaires rip each others' flesh...
CNN has a live video feed here, for tonight's encore performance of the GOP's Florida Clown Car. The big difference tonight: hooting and jeering and applauding for reprehensible things will be encouraged by CNN and Wolf Blitzer, so Newt should be able to do some great rabble-rousing.
Here's a vastly important subject guaranteed not to come up in tonight's debate (the sixth debate this month): the precipitous decline in American science. Neil deGrasse Tyson really brings the point home with maps showing the amounts of peer reviewed scientific research in different areas of the globe. Exceptionally poor at ...
Newt Gingrich is raging at the media again, for shutting down the hooting yahoos who would normally cheer his far right race-baiting: Gingrich Threatens to Skip Debates if Audiences Can't Participate. Mr. Gingrich clearly noticed something was off, too. “We’re going to serve notice on future debates,” he told Fox. ...
Here's a second thread for wrap-up comments about this pathetic event they're calling a debate. Brian Williams failed to follow up on a single issue; it was basically a two-hour commercial for the Republican Party agenda. I don't know who "won" the debate, but I know who lost. You, me, and ...
Watch out, here comes the GOP Clown Car again, disgorging its endless cargo of makeup-laden performers for another fantabulous debate about nothing of consequence. In the Big Top, the Romney harlequin has no choice but to attack the Gingrich jester like a mad (but hilarious!) dog tonight; you can look forward ...
Here's a second thread for the South Carolina GOP debate, because the first one's filling up fast. My take so far: Get used to saying it: "Romney's the nominee." Say it ten times fast.
It's probably too late at this point to talk them out of embarrassing themselves again, so here's a thread to discuss the CNN South Carolina GOP debate, starting at 8 pm ET. CNN has a live video feed here: CNN.com Live. With Rick Perry now out of the race, all the ...
Here's an open thread for wrap-up comments about tonight's GOP debate, possibly the most race-baiting debate so far, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. I could hardly believe the audience reactions tonight. For example:

The GOP clown car arrives tonight in Myrtle Beach; I'm sure everyone is filled with a delirious sense of anticipation. The wingnut herd has been ruthlessly thinned lately, and five candidates remain, four of whom have no real purpose except to prop up the pretense that someone other than Mitt ...
While watching Saturday night's Republican debate, my jaw hit the floor when Ron Paul, asked a question about his now-infamous newsletters, said: "One of my heroes is Martin Luther King." My amazement stems from the fact that in December 1990, Ron Paul's official newsletter contained the following paragraphs: He was ...

There was no way I was going to wake up at 5:30am to see this morning's GOP debate; but it looks like Mitt Romney managed to go tone-deaf again, suggesting that only very rich people should run for office in America. Mitt Romney suggested in today's debate that only rich ...

And now, the clown car. [Video removed...]
Well, it's been more than three weeks since the last GOP debate, and I'm sure you've been missing these events as much as I have, so this weekend you're going to be treated to two (2) GOP debates: tonight at 9pm ET, and tomorrow morning at 9am ET (that's right, ...
The media are now pretending that there was some actual conflict, but the Republican candidates obviously agree with each other on almost every issue. Except for Ron Paul, who consistently plays the Crazy Uncle. The only real "conflict" tonight came from the attacks on each other's past positions for not being ...
I'm trying to decide whether to play Batman: Arkham City or live-blog the Iowa GOP debate. But how can I resist the sheer spectacle of the Republican Clown Car as it pulls into Sioux City, Iowa with a full load of pandering politicians? And with questions from Fox News, no less. Live ...

Looks like Donald Trump wanted to quit before he was fired: Trump pulls out of GOP debate. Trump said in his statement that Republicans were reluctant to appear at the debate because he was unwilling to rule out an independent bid for the presidency. Also because Trump is a clown. ...

In previous GOP debates, the audience booed a gay soldier, cheered Rick Perry for setting a record in executions, and applauded letting people without health insurance die. Last night, another appalling moment was added to this catalog of infamy: GOP Debate Audience Cheers Child Labor. Video "I think every person up here ...

Rick Perry just said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is "a minor issue." On that note, we launch our second thread on this pathetic debacle.
It's time for another Republican Party debate, and I'm sure you're all as excited about that as I am. Yet, in the midst of this expectation, I am sad. Life just seems so empty without Herman Cain and his visionary 9-9-9 plan. These debaters have some mighty big shoes to fill. There's ...
