OK - I went in. First time I've watched any part of any GOP debate. 15 min in - scared shitless -

[NRaleighLiberal]

From the crowd booing the gay soldier in the DADT repeal question that Santorum handled in an utterly indescribably horrific way, to...well, to everything. Logic tells me Obama has nothing to fear from this cast of lunatics.

Two terms of Bush, the state of the economy and the fact that nearly 50% of the debate audience wants to abolish the Dept of Education tells me to be afraid that the time is ripe in this country to actually anoint one of these horror shows to the office.

That 15 min told me all I need to know about how utterly important it is to work like hell to make sure that doesn't happen!

[Avalux]

1. Isn't it simply horrifying??

I caught the part where Bachmann said she'd repeal the education law, go to the dept. of education, turn out the lights and lock the door.

:wtf:

It's hard to believe it's not satire.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. I usually have lots of words...but there are really are NO WORDS for this.

[Worship Money]

19. I know,

Doesn't this seem like one big parody?

I sometimes still have a hard time convincing myself this isn't a joke, a satire of konservative freaks and mushheads on a very large scale.

[flamingdem]

2. What channel?

Sounds scary

[butterfly77]

3. fox

[7wo7rees]

7. Naturally, Fox.

[glinda]

13. It is all one long free AD. They should be fined.

[Chorophyll]

29. CNN did the last one.

The one with the Teabagger audience that applauded letting the uninsured die. Wolf Blitzer hosted. It's all a big circus. :(

[flamingdem]

8. he he I don't even know where that is on my cable... nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. Breathe! Visualize whirled peas! Chant "aalllll yooouuurrr baaaasssee aaarrrre beeeelong tooo ussss"

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. :D

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. !!!! ....deep breath...I'm OK now! (it's over!)

:hi:

[patrice]

18. Thank you for your service to humanity!

:hi:

[FarLeftFist]

9. BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID! The FASCISTS are coming!

[Denver Progressive]

22. +1

[Ilsa]

10. But you can't understate the GOP's ability to lie, cheat, and steal any election. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. +1! nt

[Ineeda]

11. It's like they're trying to out-insane each other.

Very dangerous lunatics, one and all.

[samsingh]

30. i know

hey that repug is a bigger moron than the other one.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. Glad it's over -don't think I can do that again! Not sure what to do - shower, brush teeth, vomit..

just indescribably bad, and that just scratches the surface.

Just any one of them being a candidate indicates how absolutely screwed up our country is at the moment.

[Whisp]

14. apparently not more horrifying than the President.

There are far far more nasty words against him here than those brain scooped zombies.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. if everyone were forced to watch one of these debates, it would put things in perspective!

There are light years of separation between Obama and any one of these GOP nincompoops in just about every facet imaginable. What a slap back to reality that 30 minutes was....

[TheKentuckian]

20. Even now you greatly "misunderestimate" how truly awful they are.

Folks need to grasp that their ideology is utterly poisonous and their policies have entropy baked right into the cake. It can not be amended into a state that will benefit the people, their designs inherently inhibit the ability of government to function, create debt, and funnel wealth and resource control to the special few.

If people understood how awful these fucks were these scammy policies would get a motherfucker impaled.

[Worship Money]

21. Yeppp

Every. Single. One. of those motherfuckers is beyond dangerous and repugnant.

[Daphne08]

23. I've watched three so far and...

these people terrify me!

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. How can these people terrify us and NOT terrify those in the audience?

I just don't understand that. :shrug: My rw neighbor, the one with 'NO SOCIALISM" sign in his front yard, thinks Michele Bachman is an intelligent woman :crazy: and would like to see her as President and he is SERIOUS!

[NNN0LHI]

24. You are right

I didn't need any debate to convince me though. I lived through the 1980's so to me this was already common knowledge.

Anyone else notice some of the most well known Obama bashers around here are avoiding this thread like the plague?

Don

[HappyMe]

27. We managed to make it through 30 minutes of that tripe.

We just sat there in silence, shaking our heads. He yelled "Answer the question!" a couple of times.

It was like a long, painfully unfunny SNL skit.

[Eddie Haskell]

28. Logic has very little to do with an election.

I wouldn't get complacent.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

31. "...nothing to fear ..."????

Sorry, but you are dead wrong. The same was said when GWB ran the first time and look what happened. Obama is in deep sneakers if the nominee is either Perry or Romney.

Shitty economy + fear + election hijinks = President Romney/Perry.

Bet on it.

[LuckyLib]

32. You're a better person than I. I can't bear to cast my eyes on those crazies.

It's too painful. The stupid just oozes.

[Nye Bevan]

33. They have to pretend to be insane to win the nomination

after which they will acquire some sanity.

At least I *hope* they are pretending.
