Shut up! I paid attention to this Debate in the South on Fox News This One Time, and I Weren't Nearly as Drank as What I Needed To Be!

Okay, one of the things I need to point out about the debate I just half-assed paid attention to whilst watching other shit on tv and following Twitter and drinking some beer and putting some sheets in the wash is that Rick Perry really does think that the fellows who peed on some dead Taliban were just boys being boys. I guess Rick Perry was a boy once, and young. Unfortunately, I can't actually vouch for his ever having grown up.  I want a grown-up as president, and luckily, I think we have a grown-up as president in Barack Obama.  He isn't disappointed in these young men in order to show "disdain" for the military. He's actually appreciative of all the military does, and what can be actually undone by a moment of dumbfuckery. Also, desecrating corpses really is against military law.  I don't know why Rick Perry doesn't understand this.

But we don't actually worry about Rick Perry becoming POTUS at this point, do we?  Oh, no.

Let's talk about Mitt Romney. I don't think he was expecting to still have to debate tonight. Let's look at this clip with Santorum going after him about of all things, voting rights for ex-cons.



I don't know if the endorsement by those 150 evangelicals or whatever gave Santorum extra confidence, but he was kind of on the right side of the question (what?) and took it to Romney. I don't care for Rick Santorum because he's basically a virulent homophobe and a religiously-foolish misogynist, and also I'm still working out where he stands on "Blah" people, because I've always focused on the first two issues and never noticed the casual race bigotry he evokes that much before, but in at least that instance, he made Romney look like a clueless boob.

Um, and the last thing I have to say is: Newt Gingrich is a major jackass.  His nonsense about Obama as Food-stamp President and his nonsense about child labor might get some claps from hard-core fans and bigots, but the long-term problems regarding poverty in the US as involves food scarcity ends up coming down to the following:

Does Newt Gingrich think that if the economy collapsed, Barack Obama shouldn't need to or want to see to it we had our fellow Americans FED? Wouldn't Newt prefer even our poorest people were at least fed, if we had the resources to feed our hungry countrymen?  And doesn't he understand why children are treated different than adults? That they have a certain right to preferential treatment because they are the future and insisting that they pay for the privileges of their education is so much fuckery?

Meh--so glad I was mostly washing sheets and drinking. Else I might have developed a much greater dislike for these handful of remaining GOP candidates than I already have from the preceding eleventy-billion debates.

Did I mention I can not stand these people anymore?  Because that is important.  I can't.
