Speaking of debates... please please please please please let this happen. OK, so practically impossible, but a man can dream...

Personally, I'm ready to see some "South Korean legislature"-caliber brawling. The whole political theater aspect of it is starting to look like reality TV anyways, why not toss in some situational conficts which have been utterly engineered to explode in everyone's face?

Sadly there are very few US politicians I really see having the guts to stand their ground and throw hands (and chairs) like the Koreans, they talk a good fight, but I think if it came down to actual fisticuffs im fairly sure the shouting would all be 'SECURITY' and 'DONT HIT ME OR ILL SUE' rather than 'CMON THEN HAVE A REAL GO YA WUSS'

Yeah, not having politicians behave as kindergarten babies is really sad.

[Lysabild]

Dunno, I'd love a good fight once every bluemoon in the Folketing. Them Asians have something on the right here I feel.

Remember: If Congress regularly broke out into inter-congressmen fistfights we wouldn't have as many set-in-their-ways-three-fourths-senile-utterly-disconnected morons able to hold seats. Age brings frailty.

Oh dear oh dear.

Thursday afternoon, the LA Times reported that Romney’s tax returns listed 23 funds and partnerships that did not appear on Mitt Romney’s personal financial statements — the disclosure forms candidates are required by federal law to file with the Federal Elections Commission. Romney filed his disclosure forms in August 2011. The timing of this revelation couldn’t be worse. Hours before a GOP debate and days before the crucial Florida primary, Democrats now have new fodder for demanding additional tax return information from the Romney campaign.
...
Lying to the FEC is crime, but proving that Romney decided to purposefully omit the information (if he did) would be a pretty high burden to meet. There’s been nothing to indicate so far that Romney did anything more than make a mistake on a complicated government form. But if Roussell’s allegations are correct — and it’s proven that the omission of offshore accounts and investments, as well as investments connected to Bain Capital were left off purposefully, for political reasons — then Romney is in trouble legally. Obviously that’s a big “if.”

The debate tonight is fascinating

Holy crap. Santorum has the most sane tax perspective of all the republicans. I mean, it isn't going to balance the budget, but it is more sane than anyone else. I never thought there was something where Santorum would be least bad.

[FearfulJesuit]

Education and welfare. He's less bad than the rest of them.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Education and welfare. He's less bad than the rest of them.

No he isn't. Read his social policy. If you are not sufficiently abhorred at the idea of Santorum being President after that, read it again. And again. And again.

[FearfulJesuit]

I meant in terms of education and welfare he was less bad. Yes, otherwise he's horrible.

Newt Gingrich promises moon base by the end of his second term.

Sane people: "Let's fix the country."

Newt: "TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Alright, I like space exploration as much as the next liberal nerd on the internet, but a moon base in eight years is totally unfeasible. Just return meaningful funding to NASA and let them do what they think is best.

Not to mention the whole "doesn't even have ONE term" thing.
