Life's too short to watch that abomination.

I'll read tomorrow about who bit the heads off the most chickens.

That seems kind of sexist, but I really don't want to even think about it.

Was going to watch, but didn't.

I am watching (kinda) the CNN recap.

holy crap. Ive been reading about it. These are totally insane lunatics. They say they would demand Congress declares War on Isis. which would be really hard as they have no base or country, but I think its more so they can use the war powers act to do really bad things , and never have to leave office. That would go along with how they are talking at least. Carson wants to intentionally kill innocent people, even women and children just to send a message to ISIS, and he wants to put Putin in a Box, and thinks that will deter N. Korea ??? Trump and others want to bomb the shit out of anything that isnt part of the USA, Trump wants to restrict many the use of the internet , while Rubio wants to raise the price on the internet , so us poor folks cant use it.

Im sorry, but these people should be locked up in a mental institution for our safety.

I felt very reassured by the debate. Only three of the nine debaters would start World War III immediately after taking office.

It was a gathering of people unencumbered by either truth or civility.

Couldn't take it anymore, even as background noise.

Trump does look more and more like Mussollini.

I stopped watching when I could not tell the difference between the debate and a speech by Musolini.

Not to mention it would really piss off Wonder Woman, and then American Maid would have a snit fit because wifey is all twisted in a knot. Bad news all around.

I put it on but fell asleep. Then Fiorina harshed my happy and I turned it off. Her voice is like nails on a blackboard to my ears. You know how they say they use female voices for announcements because other women are indifferent but men tend to pay attention to them? Fiorina's voice fills me with bad urges.

Thanks, I don't need to worry then!

I am amazed our country has come to this. It's a pure spectacle.

Pandering assholes, all. Not even good theater. Although in the aggregate trump's support percentage is pretty meager, his popularity makes me sad.

Just listened to Christie on imposing a "no fly zone" and shooting down Russian war planes. :wall: He had no answer on Charlie Rose's question what if the Russians impose a "no fly zone".

I was amused the first 70 minutes but then gave up. Bickering between Trump and Bush was funny. Rubio was maybe least repugnant, until he talked about phone records and stuff. Carson's children's heads comments were typically bizarre - promised ISIS children a quick death...or something. Lobster hands Kasich was typically fascistic. Fiorina jewelry choices made sure nobody thought she was a Muslim. Speaking of Muslims, Cruz sounded like a parrot. "Muslims extremists...political correctness. (Glare. Repeat.) Trump and his "really good wall" ideas...Ugh. Jeb is done. Rand Paul made sense for a few minutes. Christie did his usual "jus dis guy from Joysey doin dis ting" shtick. Lots of shooting down planes talk. Are these people on the no-fly list?

What makes me sad is that you could put Clinton up there with the group and she'd be to the right of several of them on issues like the middle east, spying on US citizens, and corporations. The only difference between any of their positions on the middle east and Obama's current policies is they promise to bomb more then he currently does and maybe force congress to actually declare a war before we use our army to kill people.

It was funny when Paul accused Christie of being a WWIII enthusiast. :lol:

Trump wants to kick ISIS off "our Internet". Then he wants to personally "penetrate" the Internet, over and over. :shock: In fact, "penetrate" was used way too often. Kasich wants to penetrate everything. Someone should suggest synonyms for next time. Cruz doesn't want to penetrate anyone but he'll "carpet bomb" the mid east. Sigh.

Presidential candidate Marco Rubio recently "fired off a letter (PDF) to the Federal Communications Commission asking the agency to allow states to block municipal broadband services." The municipal services offer cheaper, faster broadband alternatives to the large telecoms. Rubio's campaign has taken large donations from AT&T, and the article notes that other providers, "fearing competition, have used their influence in state government to make an end-run around local municipalities. Through surrogates like the American Legislative Exchange Council, the industry gets states to pass laws that ban municipal broadband networks, despite the obvious benefits to both the municipalities and their residents."

Rubio is just following orders from his corporate masters.
