POLITICS: Creepiest Republican Debate Moments

There was little reason to watch the Republican debate tonight because they are all dead in the water due to Bush’s war. It sounds like Ron Paul added a little spice, so expect him to be tossed out of the next Republican debate just as the Democrats threw Mike Gravel out of future debates after he came out swinging last week. That’s how our political system works. Rock the boat, then you get your ass tossed out of the boat.

I believe the best way for a brilliant SG editor like myself to cover the debate is to take one measly quote from each Republican that makes them seem as creepy as possible. Here we go.

How about Mitt Romney talking about Osama bin Laden?

Settle down. McCain then had to top dead…and he did.

Have fun with that. And please tell me where the gates are, as I would like to avoid them. Speaking of the gates of hell, Tom Tancredo was asked about the day Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Wow. What about the day we freed the slaves? That wasn’t any good? How about the Fourth of July thingy, where we became independent? No? Fortunately, that was not the dumbest answer. That award went to Mitt Romney, who was asked to tell us one thing that is wrong with America. His answer:

Then he went on to say how great America is and never mentioned that there might be anything wrong with it. Is this his first job interview? “We’re perfectionists.” Come on!

How about Brownback on stem cell research?

Wow, I never thought of that. We should kill people to heal other people. It would be a great way to end poverty and homelessness - but it would not stop the problem of gays having jobs. Tommy Thompson was asked if employers should be allowed to fire a worker just because he is gay.

What a nice man. But not as nice as Rudy Giuliani . He was asked if Roe V Wade should be overturned

Yeah, it would be okay. No, I take that back, it would be okey-dokey. Or super duper. MIke Huckabee let everyone know how great America is by contrasting us with…other people.

It is true. When coal miners are trapped we do go after them. Many countries just fill in the hole and pretend like nothing happened. By far the best moment was when the candidates were asked to raise their hands if they don't believe in evolution. Sen. Sam Brownback, Gov. Mike Huckabee and Rep. Tom Tancredo raised their hands. Shiver.

And last but not least, Ron Paul. He was asked if he trusts the mainstream media.

Fuck yeah, because of all the standards, integrity and high quality.

There was also a guy there from Virginia. His name does not matter because he is a loser. There was not a black guy or a woman, which is shocking.

um, wow.

Where are the inbreds screaming 4 more years?

They are still going to win. Mark my words...and come back to this post after the 2008 elections.....The Republicans will win the next presidential election.

They are going to win because (unfortunately) the Democrats would rather go with charisma & name recognition.

He's right. Never forget to give credit to Bush's base. They vote on everything and do so with blind ignorance.

Go Ron Paul!!!!!

I want you to be wrong SO BADLY!

My my. GOP Uber Alles.

They're all Douchbags and Turd Sandwiches.
Exccept for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is the only one worth voting for, and is really a Libertarian/paleo-conservative. The rest are scum zombies.

You realize that's the exact same kind of thing staunch Republicans say about you?

Wait, you're claiming that the Republicans aren't going for charisma and name recognition?

Why then are so many GOP'ers urging Fred Thompson to run?

Why was Rudy "In Case You Forgot, I Was The Mayor Of NYC on 9/11" Giuliani even considered to be a front-runner for the GOP Presidential nomination when based on his political stances alone he should be as marginalized by the GOP as Zell "Pistols At Dawn" Miller is by the Democratic Party?

Shiver indeed.

"Given the inefficiencies of what the DC laughably calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or criminal." - Ron Paul

HIppies vote?

How does everything tie into Bush? He is no longer relevant.

So... you're saying he's bad at math?

No. Fuckin. Way.

he really said that ?

Actually, he is. Thanks for playing, though.

Yes, because if history teaches us anything, it's that the impact a President has on domestic and international affairs instantly vaporizes the moment he leaves office.

That's why, for example, the Vietnam War ended the moment LBJ left office, and why every Supreme Court justice a President appoints has to quit when that President leaves office.

I'm not gonna lie, I think the republicans are going to take the win in the next election regardless of what the democrats do. They took the house and senate and it would be a looong shot if they won the presidency also.

I disagree wholeheartedly with both you and Cash. If the democrats lose, it will not be because they've nominated a black man or a woman, nor will it be because they'd "rather go with charisma & name recognition" (whatever that means.)

IF the Democrats lose (and frankly, I don't think they will), it will be because they've bungled their huge, huge lead in fundraising momentum and because they've squandered the ill-will most Americans have for the GOP right now. No Republican candidate is any better or more bulletproof than either Clinton, Obama or Edwards right now.

You make me feel like a bad person when I laugh at jokes like that.
