After watching the snooze fest that was the GOP debate, can anyone really believe these clowns are running for President? Perry is a loose canon waiting to shoot his own foot off, with the blazing rhetoric of evangelical Christian crusader as he talks about social security insurance being a “Ponzi scheme.” and quite proud of his canned hunt record for killing the most death row inmates of any state. Romney is the rich guy with no idea how the economic downturns have effected most Americans (remember him trying to buy fast food with a $100 bill? ) Ron Paul is a cartoon character, surely the Wiley Coyote of the Bunch, but nevertheless, he has an oddly framed concept of what would be good for America. (Cut off air conditioning to our soldiers in Iraq would save $20 billion?) Michele Bachman, the mother of a gazillion children as she is so apt to mention, needs to go home and raise them. She is the wild eyed Phyllis Schaffley of the bunch, touting those good old family values while attempting to avoid spending any time with hers. Huntsman is the brightest of the bunch, but failed to criticize in prime time that his party needs to recognize the fact of global warming and evolution and at least try to join the 20th century, if not the 21st.
The others I can’t remember. Poor showing all the way around. If Obama can strengthen his base by acting like a Democrat instead of acting, with regret, like a Republican, he has a good chance to win re-election. Don’t you think?

Huntsman did say chide Perry ” …. 98 of 100 climate scientists come to the same conclusion…. if we become the anti-science party, we lose…”
If we could get the best of Ron Paul, John Huntsman, Barry Goldwater (when he was older), and R. Reagan in one candidate ….we’d have the modern day Eisenhower. Freakin’ RINO’s.
he has a good chance of winning.
His biggest problem is the recent purchase of millions upon millions of dollars of airtime by the Right. They will flood the TV airwaves with the propaganda they need to sway the low-information voters and to lie their way into the hearts of Unaffiliateds.
I am really interested to see how the social media plays into this. The repugs can’t dominate that media yet. Or at least, I don’t think they can.
I am particularly galled by the O&G advertising on MSNBC. It is the same bunch of bullshit babble and lies, but it comes between very thoughtful and important comments from all the MSNBC show hosts.
Don’t those people realize that process lends credibility to the lies Exxon/Mobil and ANGA are wedging in between their progressive comments (with which I agree, of course)? Or is it that the money is just too good?
Apparently only Romney and Santorum sang along with the national anthem at the beginning of the debate.
I guess Perry and Bachmann had “other priorities.”
