I love the debates as much for their bickering and one-ups-manship (Trump: Yeah, well you're a loser so what am I?) flavor (I mean why present even a semblance of a united front to the Dems?) as I do for your great synopses. Tempered, of course, by the fact that one of these assholes will actually BE the Republican nominee.<br /><br />What struck me was that Hillary's name was only mentioned 2 or 3 times and Sanders not at all. While they whined about Obama the whole time. They do realize he's not running again, right? Hil or Bern is who they will be dealing with??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-27165226866451216372015-12-16T16:37:27.825-06:002015-12-16T16:37:27.825-06:00National Public Republicans had a panel of their &...National Public Republicans had a panel of their "reporters" review the debate last night. The tipoff that I should have changed the station were the words "Republican", "Debate", and "Substantive". All used in the same sentence. Evidently the "candidates" have "policies" and "ideas" about foreign policy. The "reporters" then giggled about the "candidates" talking over Wolf Blitzer (who, according to one of the "reporters", "pushed back" over debate rules not being followed). That was when I turned it off. When I turned back in 20 minutes later they were just wrapping up. <br /><br />The "new normal".

You are the man.<br />I was struck though how thoroughly the field whored itself like the lineup on the Reeperbahn.<br />They have no new ideas and no real message for actual voters.<br />Like the whores, everything is a coded message for their "benefactors" to signal they're on the game and know who's in charge.<br />We need more money for the military industrial complex! 70% of the Federal budget is not enough! (Excuse me, remind me again how many aircraft carriers and fighter wings ISIS has.)<br />Global warming is not a problem! Scary terrorists in Nowhereistan are the problem (and Hillary too - she's scary.) We need to send the proles kids to die and get maimed to show how tough we are.<br />Bombing their women and kids is OK because we're tough!<br />We need less regulation and lower taxes! Just because!<br />We need more police state surveillance and Internet regulation to fight the terrorists (ahem, something I predicted in an earlier post today).<br />And on and on.<br />It's like the dayroom in an especially seedy insane asylum.<br />bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.com
