why would any Republican want to fund education, don't they rely on people being dumb as fuck to get elected?

Speaking of which things to cut... Weak post.

Is this all some sort of cruel joke? I honestly wouldn't mind if the liberals and the conservatives duked it out (I'm liberal, for the record), but I would at least like for it to be somewhat evenly matched. At this point, Romney should just cede his time in all debates and let the rest of these numbskulls dig their own ditches.

Is there a word for when you feel embarrassed because someone else is embarrassing themselves? The "Micheal Scott" effect?
Why does he want to cut the Department of Energy anyway? It seems like a matter of major valid concern for the federal government to the point even Republicans should agree we need it.

I've never been a Republican, but I can't recall seeing a group of frontrunners as deeply unlikable as this bunch. It's like a supervillian's assistants convention.

I feel a meme image coming on, "Can't count to 3, will fix budget!"

I don't know that this is such a weak post. Perry is sort of an easy target, like all the GOP candidates. But this level of inarticulacy is simply astonishing. It's as if Obama dropped his pants and farted into a microphone for a State of The Union Address - although arguably, that would still be ....well, let's say Obama dropped trou, tried to fart, and instead sharted into a microphone. That's about the same.

This is by far the weakest slate of presidential candidates in that I can think of. They're midgets beside Obama.

Does this seem like a guy who knows that the DOE runs the nuclear weapons complex? To him, DOE means green hippies stealing oil jobs.
So, anyway, I didn't watch the debate. Who'd the audience boo this time? Babies? Puppies? Babies playing with puppies and giggling?

I feel confident that this is truly the best the Republicans have to offer.

So much going on in that clip. Ron Paul almost convinces him he meant to cut 5 departments. Then someone else chimes in with "EPA!" and he momentarily considers it. So awesome.
Anyway, play him off keynoard cat!
