I'm not against certain traditional values, but much of the GOP is pushing further rightward than the USA has ever been before. They aren't conservatives. They're right-wing liberals. Fifty years from now, these guys are going to be viewed in the same light as people who favored slavery. They were ultimately wrong, and simply slowed the USA's progress as a nation. I would argue that these RINO's are the ones who stand for what the Republican party should be about.

Just opposite. Rinos are left liberals who lobve islam. Only the TEA party can save America from beheading and honor killing.


I'm not entirely sure if you are serious or being sarcastic.

Now Lindsey Graham says Obama doesn't know how to be commander in chief, and he'll rebuild the military.

... once again, anyone see Lindsey Graham as a great commander in chief who knows exactly how to run a military?


... I'm starting to think he's deliberately being ironically funny.

Calling it a "kids' table" is kinda like saying they are the special ed kids and the main debate is the loony bin.

Seriously, even though I lean Republican, the Republican party sorely disappoints with the choice of candidates this election.

Liberals and rinos are like stalin fanboys after katyn
The Baghdad "battery" was just a jar to store scrolls over-hyped by a self-serving archaeologist.

The crusades were a counter-attack called for by the legitimate government of the relevant lands, the Byzantine Empire.

I don't think that he does. I believe that he wandered onto stage under the assumption that it's still going, and no one has the heart to tell him that it's over.

Sunday shows and morning news shows.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Trump criticized Carson's religion as "extreme". Lordy, I hope this slandering scum isn't elected.

Adventists are not really that out there, to be honest.

They take a lot of steps in regards of body theology that even I don't, but that doesn't make them crazy or unreasonable compared to even Protestantism. If anything, they are pretty much mainstream protestantism except for the body theology bits they have taken to lengths.

I bet the people in the audience have an easier time with this debate than those of us watching at home.

Recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado.

Honestly, if I were them I would target Obama plenty. He's an easy target as the incumbent, and contrasting what you would do as President to what he has done is pretty traditional fare, and what people want to hear.
