Ron Paul: "STOP MINTING CHANGE"

Still the funniest thing I have read on this thread

huh?

I think Mickey Kaus nails it:

I was surprised by all the talk in the debate spin room about Hillary's angry little speech after Edwards took Obama's side in the great "change" debate. The talkers assumed it was a potential Rick Lazio election-losing moment, an audience turnoff--a judgment echoed here and here ("dogmatic ... angry ... vicious"). ... I was surprised because when it happened, I thought to myself, "pretty good response." I've seen it again--here--and I still don't get what's wrong with it. Unconvincing, maybe. Heated, yes. But not overheated or uncontrolled or unhinged. This isn't the sort of thing I usually say--but isn't Hillary's outburst exactly the sort of forceful putdown male candidates not only get away with, but are expected to come up with? ... Maybe have a high tolerance for confrontation. I thought Lazio won that debate. ...

any kaus commentary on hil vs edwards is nullified by the fact that 80% of his posts are about the ridiculous edwards love child story

Feeling grumpy today, eh? For your information, Edwards has two grown up daughters, one of whom is standing on his right in the picture above.

I agree with Kaus though - I thought Hillary's response was good. I didn't think she sounded "shrill" at all and only seemed moderately angry, which I didn't find unreasonable.

Yes, the Shrillary headlines have already hit the presses blogs

hahaha i have no idea!

hillary definitely had the better debate performance and i found her eminently more likeable when she got mad. she seemed more human

Yes, Zogby doesn't have a great track record for NH but... hey now! CNN/WMUR/UNH, the second most reliable per that Pollster list, now has Obama up by 10, and USA Today/Gallup has Obama up by 13. Unless Obama gets caught in an airport bathroom, this contest is over.

And the Nevada Culinary Workers plan to endorse a candidate Wednesday. If (when) Obama wins NH, he will almost certainly be their pick. That means Obama wins IA, NH, NV, and SC. Seriously, this really is over.

Jesus Christ ...

Did the weakest Dem candidate for the general election won tonight? I think so.

By sending forth Hussein Osama out of Iowa, Democrats have unwittingly weakened their general election prospects.

Hussein's exotic mixture of radical liberalism, Kwanzaa Socialism, antipathy towards the unborn, and weakness against his jihadi brethren will all come back to destroy him against almost any Republican opponent, even the snake-grope from Hope.

I think we as Republicans should be celebrating tonight at the coronation of Hussein, in whose presence millions of Democrat women, from elementary school teachers to journalism majors to law school grads to dykes on bikes will go weak in their knees.

As defenders of this great Republic, and of the pinnacle of Western civilization that it represents, we should all come together tonight and agree on a common strategy that will keep the White House from becoming a madrassa.

God Bless America, Land of the Free.

Kwanzaa Socialism

isn't Hillary's outburst exactly the sort of forceful putdown male candidates not only get away with, but are expected to come up with?

no, it would have looked just as slightly unhinged if it came from mitt romney or john mccain

What exactly did you find “unhinged” about it?

To: nwrep
If Obama wins the nomination, I expect to see Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton try to horn in on the campaign, claiming that it was their past efforts that paved the way for an Obama candidacy, and that he owes them.

I hear music swelling under this.

ha i was just listening to that not a half an hour ago. uh so do these people really believe this muslim shit or is it just a particularly lame attempt at propaganda.

It's like an inspiring monologue made a previously wimpy character near the end of a hit movie made in an alternate America where lynching is still okay.

omg andy rooney is mad abt the candidates names - he doesnt like them!

huckabee touting his foreign policy experience - 'i've visited israel nine times' lol u fundie

romney turning into the GOP's bitch is the funniest shit ever

the law huckabee passed in ark. that allowed children of immigrants to receive fed aid for college is the best thing he's ever done

ethan did you see all the romney zings last night?

i was out but i saw them today looool

'which one?' ahahhaa

i dunno, i'm not even trying to guess what people who might think romney might be preferable to mccain or huckabee could think because those dudes seem to have souls? Their live-graph thingie had romney's approval at like 90% of their focus group when he was talking about this stuff...

why are they all stuttering so much more than yesterday?

the repub. debate was the most entertaining non-sports non-30 rock tv show ive seen in 6 months i think

last night*
