Fiorina is asked about Democrats having a better track record at growth, talks about a woman she met. Have not heard a single item to answer the question.

Gets an ovation, with a "fuck your bell" to boot.

I don't think anybody is actually saying 'fuck your bell', but they are defying it and the moderators aren't taking control.

They should have a vibrating plate under the candidates feet which gives them a jolt and keeps going until they finish. Kind of goes into the whole Pavlovian conditioning stuff though.

I'd bet you could get it down to under a hundred. Easily down to 100 if stupid legalese definitions can be in a separate volume

Here we go..."Ben, Y U lyin?"

Apparently, the answer is "I'm not lyin, you lyin!"

Carly Fiorina points out that big government has grown under both the GOP and Democrats, but of course points out the bulk of the problem has been because of Democrats. Kind of ignoring that if you adjust for inflation, federal spending actually dropped under Obama, and he hasd the lowest percentage increases on a dollar basis of any president since Eisenhower. Obama had a peak spending in 2010, which has since declined, and even at the recession peak he was below how much Reagan was spending in 1983.

http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/27/news/economy/spending-obama/

So, you get the message "obama is the biggest spender ever!" and you counter with "actually, no, here are the figures to prove it". Then the goal posts shift right out of the ballpark: "well, republicans in congress control spending, so if spending is so low it's congress's doing, not Obama. If it was up to Obama he would have been the biggest spender ever". Which is something you can't prove or disprove because there's no data to support that.

Well you kind of need those stupid legalese definitions in there.  Cuz it's law.  I could give you a one sentence comprehensive history of humanity if you want me to leave all out the troublesome details.

Was no expecting the Israel example from Trump.  How do you guys feel about Mexican suicide bombers?

Every freeze frame of Trump's face is giggle-inducing. The man is a human Muppet.

Yeah...Israel does a great job of keeping Palestinians out with walls.

Kaisich is doing a great job fucking the rules.  Clearly he is qualified for the office of president as it exists today.

Kasich is protesting, hard. He's also using up his time and chances for other questions.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.
