I am actually almost regretting not having TV and missing the debate.  Could have been an epic drinking game, I suspect.

[AFK]

Stupid debate was stupid and I feel stupid for watching the few stupid minutes of it that I stupidly watched.

I hope The American People vote one of those clowns in.

Let's just get this shit over with, bottom out, and see what happens next.

silly you, there is no bottom.

Tonight's debate confirms Ed Rollins was right: it's a Perry Romney race. We've only had one direct lengthy conversation with Rollins (and it was earlier this year). We felt him, of course, as he was a big presence down in Texas during the Perot bubble. He should be relieved to be out of that seat.

Perry showed steadinesss and vacuity that will soothe his oligarchical backers. His 'social security is a ponzi scheme' a calculated gamble. We disagree with the talking heads that see Romney as the clear winner. Perry's dog whistles seismic. From South Carolina on we see Romney struggling – except possibly Florida.

Newt increasingly comes across as an aging hair metal band crashing a Gathering of the Juggalos. He seems content to suck up to everyone to maintain his perch as 'ideas' man. In his own mind, he probably has cast himself as Colonel House calling the shots in someone else's White House.

The fossilized nature of 'conservative thought' striking but irrelevant. All the issues pushed around are camouflage. Wisconsin, Ohio and New Jersey more realistic models for the cloaked oligarchical agenda. It's true enterprise zones were novel when Jack Kemp pushed them in the late 1970s/1980s. The Laffer Curve/supply side economics, too. If the Republican Party intended to be overt about its actual governing strategy the lack of intellectual innovation would be problematic. Now, it's only for rubes.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2011/09/08/introducing_perry_s_rule_why_you_should_never_cite_galileo_to_su.html

During last night's Republican presidential debate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry defended his position as a climate change skeptic. When asked by Poiltico's John Harris to name a scientist whose work on manmade global warming has informed his thinking, Perry said:

Well, I do agree that there is—the science is—is not settled on this. The idea that we would put Americans' economy at—at—at jeopardy based on scientific theory that's not settled yet, to me, is just—is nonsense. I mean, it—I mean—and I tell somebody, I said, just because you have a group of scientists that have stood up and said here is the fact, Galileo got outvoted for a spell.

Let's leave aside the obvious problem, which is that in Galileo's case, science was "outvoted for a spell" by religious authorities who believed that the Bible was the final wold on the natural order. (That calls to mind Perry's stance on evolution, no?) I understand what he's trying to say, which is that ideological zealots are ignoring scientific evidence in favor of their own worldview. I disagree with it, but that's his argument.

Instead, I would like to propose a corollary to the Internet rule of Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies, which stipulates that the first person to cite Hitler in a Web debate automatically loses. Let's call this new beast the Perry's Rule: If you cite Galileo to support your claim of scientific persecution, you lose.

Do you know whether, since the 2006 date of this article, anyone has shown that Perry was aware of the conflict between his stock ownership and his supposed values?

No different then say LDS not allowed caffine and owning stock in coke a cola

I think you need to frame the objection in terms of his hypocrisy, not his support for porn.

A lot of internet users won't get behind a movement which appears to shame somebody for liking porn.


If the target audience for the meme is the porn-hating right wing, you need to phrase it like it would come out of the mouths of one of his former supporters. More subtle. "RICK PERRY IS A PORN MONGER" sounds like a left wing polemic and will be quickly dismissed.

'Thirtyseven', the mind behind Skilluminati and other sites grabbed this immediately:

Who behaves like this in public with cameras rolling? Seriously.



Notice's Ron's location relative to the podium here...and in the next picture. Ron steps back about 2-3 feet to the side and is still trying to get Perry's hand off him...



...and then Huntsman arrives to break it up. Insanity. This should have been the focus of today's media coverage. Meltdown status: Reich Perry has mental issues that disqualify him from office.

You know what doesn't seem to be getting a lot of coverage?

How the crowd broke out in applause at Rick Perry's number of executions.  Media idiots still think Romney is leading the race.  Romney might get VP, to help with concerns about Perry's more populist declarations.  Huntsman will probably be bought off with State.  Michelle Bachmann will be offered the Department of Lunatic Ranting Where She Has Little Real Power, if she's lucky.  She's totally bombing, even compared to Romney.
