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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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.

anderson looks fabulous
Live stream here.
wall street romney is it cold
in your little corner of the world?
are you ready for some “lame mbm questions”?
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.
rick santorum tax code social engineer
apples and oranges
Romney don’t understand Nevada already has apples and oranges, but Cain is only talking oranges. Because Presidents don’t deal in apples.
I don’t need to watch. Hot Air already told me Cain is a moron stoopidhead dumb-dumb. Yay Mittens!
Now Ronmey is saying repeal Obamacare. I don’t trust him.
rick slaps the mittens
– Well of course he can say that now, O’fuck gave him permission.
mitts capped co2 too
Now Romney says the people of Mass. like the Romneycare 3 to 1. I don’t trust him.
not romney is winning so far
ricky hits the mittens
Is Newt the only grownup on the stage?
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
Santorum thinks there’s a “community” of illegal aliens.
Hopeless romantic.
i’m scared i’m becoming a paulbot
Cain is on fire now!
Paul is crying for the beatnicks. Newrouter you should be scared;)
Stupid internet, I keep losing the live feed switching between threads.
i like the baracky bashing of this “debate”
newrouter, you ‘like’ it — I LOVE IT!!!!
I’m sorry, Bachmann needs to go away now.
What, she only cares about moms when it comes to the housing debacle?
Newt make nice point — can’t separate “faith’ from decision making.
So Anderson is trying to start a pity-party for Romney.
How bout you join his campaign.
Cooper’s already in that campaign as Romney’s a progressive Dem hiding out in RINO clothing.
What rank is Bachmann in the military?
That jacket’s gotta be at least Super Admiral.
go newt
How can ya not love Newt!
“suicidally stupid” LOVE IT!
“can’t separate “faith’ from decision making.”
Yeah it’s too bad Newt has faith in a Green God named Al Gore.
Does Cain lose points and does Newt pick them up?
Good to hear George McGovern is still going strong.
“We have enough weapons to blow up the world 25 times,” says Paul.
Who is talking about using nuclear weapons again?
not romney i think is winning still
“What rank is Bachmann in the military?”
I think she got her calender mixed up and thought tonight was the Iron Chef challenge.
Heh.
How bout we cut the EPA and Dept of Ed?
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.
oops hostages at Gitmo, Cmon Herman focus!
Cain was on the ropes for a minute there.
Ok lets kick ronnie reagan when he’s (really) down. Maybe someone could bring up fast and furious instead.
newt’s response about reagan vis a vis irangate screws up the theoretical question to cain. oh my.
No shit, huh?
There’s an incumbent in the other party with high unemployment and no recovery.
So… let’s debate Iran-Contra.
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.
Didn’t this fella lose to Bob Casey Jr., arguably the dumbest Democrat in the Senate?
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.
More cheerleeding for Romney. Anderson should get a royalty.
Damn. I just got in.
Anything left but bones ?
“Didn’t this fella lose to Bob Casey Jr.”
note: don’t listen to karltherover
Note: don’t suggest people listen to people they don’t listen to
Ok Mitt nice pitch for Cain!
Romney Hey mine is bigger than yours.
Michelle: Mine is different than yours (and it’s a bold color)!
Did Newt just say “fuck you CNN?”
“Note: don’t suggest people listen to people they don’t listen to”
note: don’t support arlen spector in ’04
Seems the debate was really just a promo for Anderson Cooper’s show.
that was very unrewarding
note: don’t support arlen spector in ’04
Especially with Sherriff DeMint on watch!
Note: go fuck yourself newrouter
Romney sounded insincere, Perry halting, Bachmann unfocused, Santorum shrill, and Paul, well, like Ron Paul.
CAIN WINS!
“Note: go fuck yourself newrouter”
chop chop
Good for Newt, talking his last speaking opportunity to smack Anderson once.
Or maybe Newt…again.
I’ve always liked Newt. If only…
No more MBM debates! Morons.
Expect to see the Cain Gitmo soundbite for the next couple weeks. I think Cain took a hard hit on that one.
Not a single word on entitlement reform, was there?
Covered all the important Iran-Contra and Mormon questions though.
To be honest, I’m a bit concerned about how little I know about these candidates’ positions on the Spanish American war.
“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?
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.
How else are we going to learn how they feel about gay Eskimos or this new drug called “crack” cocaine?
Are you surprised?
wall street romney is a remarkably enthusiastic fucking liar … he matches Obama in this respect
OT, but Naomi Wolf just got her dirty socialist ass busted…
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.
Totally on topic.
vdh opines

yea vic buy into to the mbm society you belong to.
“too little political experience and not enough prep”
yes we need the rovester bs answer. spector ’06!!
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.

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.
tweet peeps have 140 char imaginations. union taught.
“Too little political experience and not enough prep makes you look like you’re inadequate to the office.”
cheers to 57 states
tweets are like booger fights. go 6 year olds.
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.
so who decided that our political discourse has only 140 char?
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
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.
“Mr. P”
yea cast by the #OWS crowd. ricky sucks outside of texas.
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.

oh good 140 char sound bites waiting to go viral. tweets are what dweebs do ax hughhewitt.
Are you commenting or tweeting, newrouter?
also hughhewitt likes the big gov’t work that comes his way.
He’d be one of the few who would have to add words to be understood… )
don’t forget:

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.
“Are you commenting or tweeting, newrouter?”
count those char mr. ernst. unfair and unbalanced!
My tweets are super rad. Also, bitchin’.
“This is the guy who tormented Clinton almost as much as did Hillary.”
yes the not romney faction had a good time tonight.
The TPM leftytards put together a 100-second video of what they think are the ‘good parts‘.
bh, you should fix your ‘bh’ with the orangyness that leads directly to your tweet-stream. That’s be cool I’m thinking.
How do I do that, serr8d?
“tweet-stream. ”
yes there is one close to the out house.

Another try.
Website not name.
Yay!
Thanks, guys.
Ok.
Now you got me looking over my shoulder.
bh, that link you posted at 22 hrs ago is flagged as unsafe. Did you post that, or were you hackered?
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.
You damn smart-aleck kids with your twitter and your facebook, get off of my lawn!
Shit. No, not me.
Thanks, serr8d.
Changed my password. That should do it, I assume.
Yikes.
Seriously, thanks, serr8d.
Those pictures of my junk were from me though.
(I’m changing every password I can think of now. Fun.)
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.

Thanks. Okay, just revoked them all. Had about ten of them.
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.
I kind of liked Santorum. He seems angry a lot, much like myself.
