  3. happyfeet says:

    wall street romney is it cold

    in your little corner of the world?

  4. newrouter says:

    are you ready for some “lame mbm questions”?

  5. bh says:

    Ron Paul just referred to himself as the “Champion of Liberty”.

    Perry did the same with “Proven Job Creator”.

    One of them should try and sneak in Germanicus.

  6. newrouter says:

    rick santorum tax code social engineer

  7. newrouter says:

    apples and oranges

  8. LBascom says:

    Romney don’t understand Nevada already has apples and oranges, but Cain is only talking oranges. Because Presidents don’t deal in apples.

  9. DarthLevin says:

    I don’t need to watch. Hot Air already told me Cain is a moron stoopidhead dumb-dumb. Yay Mittens!

  10. LBascom says:

    Now Ronmey is saying repeal Obamacare. I don’t trust him.

  11. newrouter says:

    rick slaps the mittens

  12. BBHunter says:

    – Well of course he can say that now, O’fuck gave him permission.

  13. newrouter says:

    mitts capped co2 too

  14. LBascom says:

    Now Romney says the people of Mass. like the Romneycare 3 to 1. I don’t trust him.

  15. newrouter says:

    not romney is winning so far

  16. newrouter says:

    ricky hits the mittens

  17. BT says:

    Is Newt the only grownup on the stage?

  18. happyfeet says:

    wall street romney doesn’t have the slightest fucking idea why people come here illegally does he?

    they’ll come whether there’s in-state tuition or not for reals… you can look at the historical record, wall street romney

  19. LBascom says:

    Santorum thinks there’s a “community” of illegal aliens.

    Hopeless romantic.

  20. newrouter says:

    i’m scared i’m becoming a paulbot

  21. Danger says:

    Cain is on fire now!

  22. Danger says:

    Paul is crying for the beatnicks. Newrouter you should be scared;)

  23. Danger says:

    Stupid internet, I keep losing the live feed switching between threads.

  24. newrouter says:

    i like the baracky bashing of this “debate”

  25. Gary says:

    newrouter, you ‘like’ it — I LOVE IT!!!!

  26. LBascom says:

    I’m sorry, Bachmann needs to go away now.

    What, she only cares about moms when it comes to the housing debacle?

  27. Gary says:

    Newt make nice point — can’t separate “faith’ from decision making.

  28. Danger says:

    So Anderson is trying to start a pity-party for Romney.
    How bout you join his campaign.

  29. Gary says:

    Cooper’s already in that campaign as Romney’s a progressive Dem hiding out in RINO clothing.

  30. bh says:

    What rank is Bachmann in the military?

    That jacket’s gotta be at least Super Admiral.

  31. newrouter says:

    go newt

  32. LBascom says:

    How can ya not love Newt!

    “suicidally stupid” LOVE IT!

  33. Danger says:

    “can’t separate “faith’ from decision making.”

    Yeah it’s too bad Newt has faith in a Green God named Al Gore.

  34. BT says:

    Does Cain lose points and does Newt pick them up?

  35. sdferr says:

    Good to hear George McGovern is still going strong.

  36. sdferr says:

    “We have enough weapons to blow up the world 25 times,” says Paul.

    Who is talking about using nuclear weapons again?

  37. newrouter says:

    not romney i think is winning still

  38. Danger says:

    “What rank is Bachmann in the military?”

    I think she got her calender mixed up and thought tonight was the Iron Chef challenge.

  39. Danger says:

    How bout we cut the EPA and Dept of Ed?

  40. LBascom says:

    Paul says Iran should be dismissed and concentrate on the economy, ‘cuz they can’t invade us, or even shoot a missile.

    He’s so clueless on foreign policy he’s scary. Also, he can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.

  41. Danger says:

    oops hostages at Gitmo, Cmon Herman focus!

  42. BT says:

    Cain was on the ropes for a minute there.

  43. Danger says:

    Ok lets kick ronnie reagan when he’s (really) down. Maybe someone could bring up fast and furious instead.

  44. newrouter says:

    newt’s response about reagan vis a vis irangate screws up the theoretical question to cain. oh my.

  45. bh says:

    Ok lets kick ronnie reagan when he’s (really) down. Maybe someone could bring up fast and furious instead.

    No shit, huh?

    There’s an incumbent in the other party with high unemployment and no recovery.

    So… let’s debate Iran-Contra.

  46. Danger says:

    The hostage negotiation question is a bit of a non-sequitor. The official policy of the federal govt is that we don’t negotiate with terrorists for hostages. The real story is a bit more…lets say nuanced.

  47. sdferr says:

    Didn’t this fella lose to Bob Casey Jr., arguably the dumbest Democrat in the Senate?

  48. bh says:

    Does Santorum remember that he lost his last election in Penn? Lost by 18% points.

    And he just gave that as his strength.

    Does not compute.

  49. Danger says:

    More cheerleeding for Romney. Anderson should get a royalty.

  50. serr8d says:

    Damn. I just got in.

    Anything left but bones ?

  51. newrouter says:

    “Didn’t this fella lose to Bob Casey Jr.”

    note: don’t listen to karltherover

  52. sdferr says:

    Note: don’t suggest people listen to people they don’t listen to

  53. Danger says:

    Ok Mitt nice pitch for Cain!

  54. Danger says:

    Romney Hey mine is bigger than yours.

    Michelle: Mine is different than yours (and it’s a bold color)!

  55. LBascom says:

    Did Newt just say “fuck you CNN?”

  56. newrouter says:

    “Note: don’t suggest people listen to people they don’t listen to”

    note: don’t support arlen spector in ’04

  57. Danger says:

    Seems the debate was really just a promo for Anderson Cooper’s show.

  58. happyfeet says:

    that was very unrewarding

  59. Danger says:

    note: don’t support arlen spector in ’04

    Especially with Sherriff DeMint on watch!

  60. sdferr says:

    Note: go fuck yourself newrouter

  61. LBascom says:

    Romney sounded insincere, Perry halting, Bachmann unfocused, Santorum shrill, and Paul, well, like Ron Paul.

    CAIN WINS!

  62. newrouter says:

    “Note: go fuck yourself newrouter”

    chop chop

  63. motionview says:

    Good for Newt, talking his last speaking opportunity to smack Anderson once.

  64. LBascom says:

    Or maybe Newt…again.

  65. serr8d says:

    How can ya not love Newt!

    I’ve always liked Newt. If only…

  66. motionview says:

    No more MBM debates! Morons.

  67. BT says:

    Expect to see the Cain Gitmo soundbite for the next couple weeks. I think Cain took a hard hit on that one.

  68. bh says:

    Not a single word on entitlement reform, was there?

    Covered all the important Iran-Contra and Mormon questions though.

  69. bh says:

    To be honest, I’m a bit concerned about how little I know about these candidates’ positions on the Spanish American war.

  70. newrouter says:

    “sdferr posted on 10/18 @ 7:49 pm

    Note: don’t suggest people listen to people they don’t listen to”

    to clarify: are you suggesting that ricky in ’04 did not listen to karltherovester in respect to pat toomey’s campaigne?

  71. Joe says:

    I am surprised no one asked Anderson if he tried women yet…he tried coffee for the first time just a couple of weeks ago.

  72. bh says:

    No more MBM debates! Morons.

    How else are we going to learn how they feel about gay Eskimos or this new drug called “crack” cocaine?

  73. Spiny Norman says:

    Seems the debate was really just a promo for Anderson Cooper’s show.

    Are you surprised?

  74. happyfeet says:

    wall street romney is a remarkably enthusiastic fucking liar … he matches Obama in this respect

  75. serr8d says:

    OT, but Naomi Wolf just got her dirty socialist ass busted

    10:00 Author Naomi Wolf arrested tonight in NY in Occupy protest with about a dozen others. Photo at left

  76. bh says:

    So many of you don’t create these short messages called tweets anymore.

    I’m following now though. Like a creepy guy outside your kitchen window. Just watching.

  77. bh says:

    Totally on topic.

  78. newrouter says:

    vdh opines

    On too many occasions, he doesn’t answer the particular question asked or obfuscates about his past statements. But again there seems no interest in detail at all. Too many weird things about electric fences and trading captives for terrorists = too little political experience and not enough prep. His chief strength: He remains absolutely unflappable! But we don’t elect presidents on that admirable trait.

    Link

    yea vic buy into to the mbm society you belong to.

  79. newrouter says:

    “too little political experience and not enough prep”

    yes we need the rovester bs answer. spector ’06!!

  80. serr8d says:

    More, and OT about the tweeting, but that moron @Patterico is still tweeting about those little girls (and various suckpuppets thereof) that existed around the time Weiner’s weiner was actually a story.

    Don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but when that anklebiter gets started in on something or someone, it’s nigh on impossible to get him to finally let go.

  81. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Too little political experience and not enough prep makes you look like you’re inadequate to the office.

    On the other hand too much political experience and preparation makes you look like a phony.

    Newt for Chief of Staff.

  82. newrouter says:

    tweet peeps have 140 char imaginations. union taught.

  83. newrouter says:

    “Too little political experience and not enough prep makes you look like you’re inadequate to the office.”

    cheers to 57 states

  84. newrouter says:

    tweets are like booger fights. go 6 year olds.

  85. serr8d says:

    Newt for Chief of Staff.

    Newt’s forgotten more political nuances than the rest of ’em on that stage combined.

    He’d make a great VP for Cain, in a Cheney sort of way.

  86. newrouter says:

    so who decided that our political discourse has only 140 char?

  87. happyfeet says:

    Mr. serr8d that’s mean what you said and honestly I think Mr. P has done a very good job examining the machinations of a very complicated and elusive set of players what to varying degrees played a role in driving a perverted dirty socialist piece of shit out of office

  88. Joe says:

    He’d make a great VP for Cain, in a Cheney sort of way.

    I like Cain a lot, but I would like to think he could do the job without Newt as his Cheney.

  89. newrouter says:

    “Mr. P”

    yea cast by the #OWS crowd. ricky sucks outside of texas.

  90. Joe says:

    Don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but when that anklebiter gets started in on something or someone, it’s nigh on impossible to get him to finally let go.

    Yeah, we noticed.

  91. Ernst Schreiber says:

    ABC’s Nighline focused on the exchange between an “angry, frustrated” Perry and a “composed” (or something like that) Romney over Romney’s “hypocritical” (according to Perry) position on illegal immigration. Their analysis: Romney wins because of his “Rick’s had a tough couple of debates” quip.

    The thing that jumped out at me however, was the look (more like affectation) of amused/frustrated disbelief. Reagan made the same face right before the “There you go again” remark, and probably dozens of other times as well.

    Romney’s so damn fake he has to borrow his mannerisms as well as his positions.

  92. serr8d says:

    tweets are like booger fights. go 6 year olds.

    On the contrary, a 140-character limit allows for very little logorrhea, and forces a writer to squeeze out all of one’s tendency to be boring. Think of tweets as introductory sentences to paragraphs, just before you flesh ’em out, and remember that speed readers catch the first sentence and skim the rest of the paragraph, so a tweet is like a hook, so to speak, because it has to leave a mark.

    And, there’s artwork to a succinctly presented tweet. Maybe one day I’ll hang the hang of it.

  93. serr8d says:

    Mr. serr8d that’s mean what you said and honestly I think Mr. P has done a very good job examining the machinations of a very complicated and elusive set of players what to varying degrees played a role in driving a perverted dirty socialist piece of shit out of office

    Mr. P deserves a nice boot in his ass, really. I’d say a pair you wouldn’t mind getting dirty, like Frank Zappa’s python numbers that he’s likely still wearing.

  94. newrouter says:

    “On the contrary, a 140-character limit allows for very little logorrhea”

    oh good 140 char sound bites waiting to go viral. tweets are what dweebs do ax hughhewitt.

  95. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Are you commenting or tweeting, newrouter?

  96. newrouter says:

    also hughhewitt likes the big gov’t work that comes his way.

  97. serr8d says:

    Are you commenting or tweeting, newrouter?

    He’d be one of the few who would have to add words to be understood… )

  99. serr8d says:

    All’s I’m saying about Newt is that he is a repository of political savvy who’s contribution to any President would be much appreciated.

    This is the guy who tormented Clinton almost as much as did Hillary.

  100. newrouter says:

    “Are you commenting or tweeting, newrouter?”

    count those char mr. ernst. unfair and unbalanced!

  101. bh says:

    My tweets are super rad. Also, bitchin’.

  102. newrouter says:

    “This is the guy who tormented Clinton almost as much as did Hillary.”

    yes the not romney faction had a good time tonight.

  103. serr8d says:

    The TPM leftytards put together a 100-second video of what they think are the ‘good parts‘.

  104. serr8d says:

    bh, you should fix your ‘bh’ with the orangyness that leads directly to your tweet-stream. That’s be cool I’m thinking.

  105. bh says:

    How do I do that, serr8d?

  106. newrouter says:

    “tweet-stream. ”

    yes there is one close to the out house.

  107. serr8d says:

    Let’s see…it might involve changing things in your WordPress log-in, and also making sure that Gravatar realizes it’s still you and still assigns you your kitty. I will experiment with mine.

    If I disappear for an extended time you’ll know why… )

  108. geoffb says:

    I think you would enter this, http://twitter.com/#!/tehpwbh , as your url in comments login.

  109. serr8d says:

    Am I still alive?

  110. serr8d says:

    That was too easy. Go up there to the upper left-hand corner, the pull-down menu with your name on it, edit profile, past in the URL geoffb helpfully provided, and save. Gravatar is smart enough to keep up without tweaking.

  111. bh says:

    Another try.

  112. geoffb says:

    Website not name.

  113. bh says:

    Yay!

    Thanks, guys.

  114. geoffb says:

    Ok.

  115. serr8d says:

    Now you got me looking over my shoulder.

  116. serr8d says:

    bh, that link you posted at 22 hrs ago is flagged as unsafe. Did you post that, or were you hackered?

  117. Jeff G. says:

    Heh. 3 or 4 people in my meager following dropped me, probably as a result of my not thinking Perry performed very well.

    There’s a way to get popular doing this. I simply don’t have it in me, I guess.

  118. Ernst Schreiber says:

    You damn smart-aleck kids with your twitter and your facebook, get off of my lawn!

  119. bh says:

    Shit. No, not me.

    Thanks, serr8d.

  120. bh says:

    Changed my password. That should do it, I assume.

    Yikes.

  121. bh says:

    Seriously, thanks, serr8d.

  122. bh says:

    Those pictures of my junk were from me though.

    (I’m changing every password I can think of now. Fun.)

  123. serr8d says:

    Oh! You’re welcome. I hates me some Anonymous and their dirty, illegal hackering tricks. Best if they all get to know the feeling of running backwards through cornfields, naked.

  124. serr8d says:

    What it might’ve been was you gave permission to an application that got frisky. Go into Twitter, settings, the Applications tab; see if you recognize all of ’em. Revoke permissions as necessary. (Can’t believe I’ve collected 27 applications, including ‘Alan Colmes’ Liberaland’, ‘Gawker’, and ‘TPM’. !REVOKED!)

  125. bh says:

    Thanks. Okay, just revoked them all. Had about ten of them.

  126. Mueller says:

    I watched a rerun of Dexter so I missed Anderson Coopers hair.

    #119
    You got a mention on ‘instapundit’. That should make you feel all warm inside. That and a shot of Irish.

  127. Pellegri says:

    I kind of liked Santorum. He seems angry a lot, much like myself.
