asking rick perry to define strict constructionism. shameful, gotcha question.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link

I hope they ask Mitt the favorite-founding-father question twice, right at the start and right at the end.

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:53 (twelve years ago) link

i hope for mitt, they bring out the props (e.g., video clips of his contrary prior positions, and copies of early editions of his books).

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:54 (twelve years ago) link

Mitt: "You already asked me that."
Panelist: "Just checking in..."

"Fundamentally"? Hey, copyright infringement!

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:59 (twelve years ago) link

this is a crazy-off of the highest-order.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:00 (twelve years ago) link

"I can...I can come out in support of that." What a strange way to word that.

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:02 (twelve years ago) link

I do love when these people are forced to explain the logistics of something.

if that riddler look-a-like would end his doomed campaign, newt would open an even bigger gap against robot-mitt romney.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:21 (twelve years ago) link

paul has a ceiling

iatee, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:25 (twelve years ago) link

ron paul stumbling on the issue of how he'd actually implement his radical, crazy program.

but ultimately, he gave an intellectually coherent -- if unsatisfying -- answer.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:25 (twelve years ago) link

i used to believe that newt had a ceiling too...

Mordy, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:26 (twelve years ago) link

Man, I hope this whole thing is just one big trap Huckabee's set for Mitt.

"RON PAUL, IF YOU WERE A TREE, WHAT KIND OF A TREE WOULD YOU BE?"

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:28 (twelve years ago) link

wtf, ron paul, what about ANN F----G RAND?

blown opportunity, IMO. atlas shrugged.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:28 (twelve years ago) link

i figured he would recommend ann rand over the bible.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:29 (twelve years ago) link

"I'm a tree...not a person anymore, a tree...I just want to make sure I've got the question right"--forgot, he's out.

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:30 (twelve years ago) link

i am already ready to say mitt romney has collapsed in this forum.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:32 (twelve years ago) link

Mitt's eating up the clock!

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:32 (twelve years ago) link

that was a totally awkward opening by romney.

now back on longwinded message.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:32 (twelve years ago) link

haha idk if this was intentional on your part but if you ever want to troll a libertarian, refer to her as "ann rand"

"it's AYN!"

k3vin k., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:34 (twelve years ago) link

ppl should just call her alisa rosenbaum

Mordy, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:36 (twelve years ago) link

"i'm so sorry i didn't pronounce alisa's made up name correctly"

Mordy, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:36 (twelve years ago) link

serious question, largely to alfred: what's happening to romney? something is different, and worse, about him lately. not sure if it's the forums he's been in, maybe he's rattled by gingrich, maybe he's tired, not sure. but he doesn't sound like the confident, resolute guy that he needs to be to win the GOP nomination.

i mean, the uneasiness in romney is on display tonight.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:37 (twelve years ago) link

(sorry, it's a question to anyone; i just know that alfred strongly believes it's a foregone conclusion that romney will win the GOP nomination).

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:38 (twelve years ago) link

I showed my students a Godard clip on Friday. We're very big on the cyber-learning up here.

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:38 (twelve years ago) link

There's this neediness to Romney that's quite unappealing. Newt's a blowhard completely comfortable with himself.

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:40 (twelve years ago) link

and there's your media moment for tomorrow.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:42 (twelve years ago) link

ha ha ha (nervously) "I DON'T MEAN TO BE INSULTING"

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:42 (twelve years ago) link

He got through it--clumsily, but I can't see that he hurt himself in any way. (Or helped, which is good.)

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:44 (twelve years ago) link

Perry's just so funny. "Back...in their home district thing."

clemenza, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:48 (twelve years ago) link

(sorry, it's a question to anyone; i just know that alfred strongly believes it's a foregone conclusion that romney will win the GOP nomination).

Me and 500 GOP g-men. Besides, you guys are the only ones part of the claque that watched Romney's one less than semi-pro interview last week.

Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:49 (twelve years ago) link

LOLGOP Pete Nicely -- Republicans, I'm so scared of this super smart Newt guy. PLEASE DON'T NOMINATE HIM.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:52 (twelve years ago) link

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 02:52 (twelve years ago) link

Romney's one less than semi-pro interview last week

now two, btw, if you combine interview and debate performances.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:06 (twelve years ago) link

continuing evidence of mitt's meltdown.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:09 (twelve years ago) link

Daniel, an honest question: why do you want Obama to win? Why are you so invested in a weak primary challenge?

Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:22 (twelve years ago) link

sigh

iatee, Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:23 (twelve years ago) link

that deserves a good answer, which i'll try to give a little later. for now, i'll say that, if we have to have a GOP president, i much prefer romney to others in the GOP field, but that's weak praise.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link

yeah RAH RAH RAH GO MITT YES WE CAN

Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 4 December 2011 03:25 (twelve years ago) link

@Shoq -- The quality of these debates has really plunged since Herman Cain left the race.

lol

Huh, I was basically assuming that everyone here apart from Morbius was Team Obama.
