The Republican Debates

[Ulaven_Demorte]

So the Republican Debates were held last night, I'm watching them in bits and pieces between chores.

One thing struck me as funny, at least here on Lit. The Conservatives aren't crowing about their candidate of choice after the debates, just continuing to try to tear down the Democratic candidates.


What does this say about their confidence for next November?

The speed with which the liberals went after Mitt Romney's Mormonism ought to give you some insight into their honorable intentions.

*grin*

Liberals don't have a problem with Romney being a Mormon, Hell, I don't care if he wants to be a Scientologist or a Hindu, you should be looking at the "Religious Right". Their view of Mormonism as a "cult" is well documented, Just ask James Dobson.

I did notice though, that instead of talking about your candidates you went straight to attack mode against the perceived enemy.

Proved my point for me.

Who watches a debate at this point anyway? Not like anyone here is a delegate that has to choose between all of them.

Yeah, it's much better to listen to the sound bites spoon fed to you than to actually listen to the candidates themselves.

I think you missed my point... there is no point in listening to 10-14 people jabber on about shit when I have no part in the process until 1 person is picked at the convention. Add that in with the likelihood that whatever they say now will be different than what they say come Sept 08 and this shit has no value at this point. If I were in one of the caucus states then maybe it'd be different but since I'm not it isn't.

A majority of those people are still also sitting members of congress.

I live in a Primary state, so paying attention to all of the Candidates is a good idea. Knowing the issues and all of the Candidates views on them is important, unless you're just voting along party lines no matter what, in which case you could just send a monkey to the polling place to yank the lever for you.

Duncan Hunter jumps the Shark

Candidate Duncan Hunter stated that he believes the the U.S. has the right to preemptively strike Iran to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons, using nuclear weapons, if necessary.

*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt* Disqualified.

In a primary state yes that matters. But since I'll only get 1 actual candidate I can vote for from each party on the ballot it'd be a waste of time to sit through 2 hours of bullshit until the actual debates occur between candidates I can vote for.

 

[FinePhilly]

My candidate wasn't a part of the debate, so I had no reason to watch.

I frankly don't care for any of the candidates represented last night.

It's pretty sad watching them desparately trying to pander but not exactly sure who they are pandering to and for what reason. They want to say they are against evolution but they don't want to look like superstitious fools, they want to serve their corporate masters with cheap labor but they can't hustle that amnesty/immigration bill to even their most ignorant party members. They want to pretend they are tough on terrorism but they come off sounding like Dr. Evil. They want to be pro-war but even the mouth breathers are starting to figure out it's a quagmire and all of Bush's swaggering and tough talk isn't going to fix it.

Ahahaha, you want to react after they drop one on us eh? Ahahaha, typical.

Well, that was the plan with the Soviets. *shrugs*

When did Iran become a super power?

You, and Giuliani, obviously have information the rest of the world is not privvy to, Since the last intelligence estimate said that Iran is years from nuclear weapons production.

Rudy is also disqualified for not ruling out a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Iran.

Just let them have the bomb and you will have to deal with them as they were.

The only way we could be threatened by some small country is if Republicans are in charge. See, security is more than swaggering around and talking tough. It actually involves things like being pro-active when you receive a PDB saying, "Osama Determined to Attack in U.S.". Not outing your own CIA agents working on nuclear proliferation. Not firing carreer military when they offer real world solutions in favor of taking advice from draft dodging, war profiteers.

Of course we wouldn't be threatened by Iran if the Dems were in charge because they'd proactively surrender.


See, thats just as silly as your opening line.

Democrats win wars. Republicans lose them. The last time a Republican won a war it was the Civil War. Get a clue.

You are simply insane UD, you should know by now the self serving characteristics of some intelligence reports. What difference does it make if it's two years or five years? The time to do something about it is now, unless you want to turn the region over to them. If that is the case, well just look the other way, it won't be long before the consequences dawn on you.

In your mind no doubt I am insane. It's much easier to dismiss someone if you can marginalize them in your own mind.

Unfortunately for you the reality is that weapons inspectors have been to Iran, and based on their reports Iran is years from beginning to produce nuclear weapons. But of course, you don't believe the UN weapons inspectors, unless they tell you what you want to hear. The same song and dance that was used to pre-emptively invade Iraq (they have WMDs and are trying to build Nuclear weapons) is now being used to try to provoke an attack on Iran.

Booga Booga Booga! Sorry, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, won't be fooled again.." I don't buy it, the credibility of this administration is shot to hell. If Bush went on TV and said that the sky was blue I'd go outside and check for myself.

The good part about that is that you're a minority and will likely stay that way for a good long time to come.

you mean the SAME "intelligence" estimate that said SH had WMD's??????????

are you gonna WAIT till they have it?

THEN WHAT?

Had being the operative word in your statement.

Hell, we should just hand out nuclear weapons to every country with a fucking flag. Then maybe we would think twice about invading another country for bullshit reasons wouldn't we?

Rather than go after N. Korea who we KNEW had nuclear weapons we invaded Iraq, again instead of going after N. Korea who we KNOW has nuclear weapons we're making noises at Iran.

Thats bravery that is, talk shit to a country that is little to no threat to you and puff up your chest.
