US Presidential Election: Tuesday November 6th, 2012

[nimic]

Cain is now telling us how the atheists have intimidated "us" into not fighting back.

This is as good as I thought it would be.

And now the moderator is telling us how angry and unhappy the atheists are, and how happy and successful and kind the believers are.

It's fact!

 

[nimic]

Gingrich blames it on the French Revolution (for real).

 

[Red Dreams]

religion...hmmm so that is why the mormon church is not represented.

Blamed what on the French Revolution?

Yeah, I just had the same thought. I think Huntsman could well have been here, but I imagine Romney declined the invitation because he expected the debate to go exactly like this, with a heavily religious focus.

Ron Paul is pretty much defending atheism now. Well, when I say defending, I mean he's pretty much saying how atheists must be allowed to hurt themselves if what they want to.

 

[nimic]

Blamed what on the French Revolution?

Oh, I don't know. Hollywood? That got mentioned. Angry, unhappy, secular atheists, certainly.

Newt Gingrich.

 

[Kaos]

Bachmann is fecking nuts, biblical world view?..

 

[Team Brian GB]

Bachmann is fecking nuts

What is she talking about, a 'biblical' world view.

God help us.


See what I did there?

 

[nimic]

Stop aid to China, because they are aborting so many children!

 

[Kaos]

They're all using today as a cheap opportunity to sell their books.

 

[nimic]

Here goes Newt on Occupy Wall Street. "Go get a job right after you take a bath".

Brilliant. This is the idea-guy on the right, apparently.

 

[nimic]

Do these people not want to be president? I'm sure I've seen statistics that say that the majority of Americans sympathize with Occupy Wall Street?

 

[Kaos]

So all men are created equal then Cain....I take it that includes gays, muslims, atheists and commies eh?

 

[nimic]

Cain is asked if every state has the right to make their own decisions when it comes to such issues. His answer?

"If it's right".

Is this a new abortion debacle? That was a great one.

 

[Team Brian GB]

I must say that was a great set of questions.

 

[Kaos]

I actually quite like Paul, but his plan for cutting the department of education (amongst others) is fecking insane.

 

[Saliph]

What are you watching, and where?!?

 

[Team Brian GB]

I can understand there are different views on education on whether it should be implemented locally or nationally, but why are people cheering so much for the abolition of the Department of Energy?

 

[nimic]

I must say that was a great set of questions.

Apart from his editorializing on atheism/religion and happiness, the moderator is doing a good job.

I remember this guy being on Colbert, which makes this a strange thing indeed

Republican primary debate

Now that would be epic, the Republican candidates with Stephen Colbert.

 

[Saliph]

That Chelsea cnut tricked me.

 

[Kaos]

And here comes to obligatory 'homosexuality is immoral' mantra again

 

[Team Brian GB]

That Chelsea cnut tricked me.

It wasn't on the list as it is an online thing only, I didn't know either.

 

[Saliph]

It wasn't on the list as it is an online thing only, I didn't know either.

I'm just kidding buddy.

 

[nimic]

It's not online, and there are no Mormons, but this debate is clearly created to best bring out the stupidity of the stupider candidates, ie. all of them except for Huntsman.

 

[nimic]

Cain wants to completely ban abortion in the US.

Jolly good.

 

[Team Brian GB]

When Alabama, one of the most republican states you can find rejected anti abortion measures by an overwhelming majority only a couple of weeks ago, you'd think that would get through to these people but no.

 

[nimic]

Listening to Ron Paul is a roller-coaster ride. He says something entirely sensible, and then, without skipping a beat, says something completely insane. Or the other way around.

 

[Kaos]

Is Bachmann capable of answering a question without mentioning the word 'god'?

 

[Team Brian GB]

Is Bachmann capable of answering a question without mentioning the word 'god'?

God no.

 

[nimic]

Is Bachmann capable of answering a question without mentioning the word 'god'?

Or Obamacare?

 

[Kaos]

God no.

You're on a roll.

 

[Team Brian GB]

You're on a roll.

I'd like to take credit but it is divine intervention.

 

[nimic]

Santorum doing his "Gays are ruining America" thing.

Santorum doing his "Gays are ruining America" thing.

Everytime I see him I cannot help but think, what a big forehead.

 

[nimic]

Everytime I see him I cannot help but think, what a big forehead.

I think "who is that guy again?"

 

[Kaos]

Santorum is quite possibly the most pointless candidate in the history of elections...even more so than opposition candidates in dictatorship nations who hold token elections.

 

[Team Brian GB]

I think "who is that guy again?"

I still find it hilarious how he ran far to the right of the Israeli Government on the prisoner transfers.

I would probably have a much stronger opinion on him if I thought he was in the least relevant. He has zero chance of even being in the top 5 in the republican primaries, and he doesn't even have as much entertainment value as Bachmann.
