I'm not sure if I'm alone in this thinking from this side of the fence: If you are not a tea party Republican, you couldn't vote for any of these freaks. And President Obama is head and shoulders sooooo much better than they are. I mean politically - not just philosophically.
Post Debate: CNN had one commentator who just said education didn't come up in the debate. I would humbly say that you need an education to talk education.
Seriously, did you look and listen to the audience. The tea party is filled with old, white, mean people. Close your eyes and harken back to your childhood: "GET OFF MY LAWN YOU SCALLIWAG!"
And they're mean. Really mean. Ron Paul intimated that a young healthy person who didn't buy his own health insurance and then wound up in a coma deserved to die. People cheered. Rick Perry (to his credit he seems to have some humanity to him) talked about giving illegal alien children college aid - and people booed. They even hate social security (which was ironic because most of them were clearly getting paid on it).
Herman Cain. He said he would bring his sense of humor to the White House. Where is he funny? Show us some funny, Herman.
Michelle Bachmann. Michelle, the Bill of Rights is in the Constitution. Seriously. It might help if the Tea Party actually read the document. Not just the crib notes. Or the Koch Brothers lobbyist version.
Ron Paul. Boy he sounds good. I sure hope he gets the chance to take it to that Woodrow Wilson. Oh, and skirts are getting much too short these days.
Rick Perry. Rick Perry makes George W Bush look like Albert Einstein. And such a love affair with lil' ol' states' rights. Why, I wonder what that could really mean for people who aren't old, white and screaming, "YOU HOOLIGANS, LEAVE MY MAILBOX ALONE!"
Newt Gingrich. Great. I thought we got rid of him. Your not the Speaker anymore, so stop speaking. Maybe he'll get bored and go step on Tokyo.
Mitt Romney. He sure looks Presidential. Maybe when he loses, he can buy his own country, print his own money and put his face on it. Then he can bid for the Olympics. He won't even have to bribe himself to get them.
Rick Santorum. I want to be President because... OK, I'll take Vice President... What about Secretary of Treasury... Mayor of Scranton? Anyone?
