How many of these freakin' debates are they going to have?

[jaxx]

I think there are 20some for the GOPers. Topic by topic, they will hem and haw their way through or just make up stuff.

Remember this when the nuts say PBO has no foreign policy/national secutiry:

Obama's Asia Win?

Walter Russell Mead tallies the recent successes of the president's East Asia policy:

The cascade of statements, deployments, agreements and announcements from the United States and its regional associates in the last week has to be one of the most unpleasant shocks for China’s leadership — ever. The US is moving forces to Australia, Australia is selling uranium to India, Japan is stepping up military actions and coordinating more closely with the Philippines and Vietnam in the South China Sea, Myanmar is slipping out of China’s column and seeking to reintegrate itself into the region, Indonesia and the Philippines are deepening military ties with the the US: and all that in just one week.

<..> Now see tonight if any of the GOP candidates understand anything of what Obama has just done, and has been doing in shoring up support for the US in the Pacific arena.

Beginning of CNN intro video looked like ad for "Modern Warfare 3".... And this part looks like something out of "24"

CNN on Cain's foreign policy credentials: he ran a pizza business "with global reach". #icanseerussiafrommyhouse

(at your own peril...) RT @LOLGOP: Gingrich Drinking Game: Drink on any "frankly" or "fundamentally".

Look, maybe Mitt's misstatement of his first name was just taken out of CONTEXT.

"I'm Newt Gingrich. I am smarter than you. Deal with it." Ok, he didn't say it. But he thought it. #cnndebate

Will fact-checkers jump on this: Romney says Mitt is his first name. Actually, it's Willard. #cnndebate

I'm not watching the debate, but decided to try and follow it on Twitter, just 'cause the comments are so damned funny. But they are coming so fast and furious I started getting dizzy trying to keep up with reading them, and I'm a fast reader!

[jaxx]

I love twitter. It's blazing tonight.

Did Herman Cain really just propose privatizing the PATRIOT Act? What would that even mean?

Cain: "I'm sorry Blitz, I meant Wolf"

I'm sure I heard Cain say he'd profile Muslims and kill them before they got us.

I think you heard correctly, as several people tweeted the same thing.

Newt is something else. Whines cause he can't talk and then tries to belittle and make the rules.

Newt thinks he is the Grand Poobah of the world.

I say he's just poo.

With POTUS putting Osama bin Laden out of commission (along with his many other accomplishments) what could these buffoons possibly have to offer?

They're sure PBO was wrong. This is really a weird debate. I think Cain has dropped, he has no answers.

Newt actually didn't say all that much, but he's better than anyone else on stage at making it sound like he did.
