is the best for: giving a quality video for the debates, listing all relevant information, and keeping the "reader" up to date with changes. That site also lists relevant polls.
If anyone finds anything better, definitely post it.
This thread is not to take away from other threads that may also be relevant. If you want to talk about or pick on a particular GOP candidate in an existing thread, definitely do so. I wanted this thread to focus on the debates. I did not think creating 18-20 threads for each debate, when each debate would only garner 5-10 posts, would be kosher or logical.
The last debate I have partially seen is the Iowa Thanksgiving Family Forum. I liked the relaxed and open atmosphere and presentation to the debate. I did not like the "churchiness" and the obvious pandering to the Christian demographic. It was almost gag-worthy but at least face-palm worthy. I understand the need to do so but it was just too damn fake.
I will post my remaining thoughts on it when I finish the video.
Better than can be said for most politicians really.

Maybe the song was a mnemonic device that half-worked in the sense that he remembered it but didn't remember the concepts/info attached to it.

For that joke to work wouldn't it have to be 2102?
Lol, makes me think of the Simpsons episode where they broke into a Gay Republican meeting where the members handed out bumper stickers saying to vote for a "Gay Republican President in 2084" to which they commented "we're realistic"

My theory is that his speechwriters are pranking him. Someone told him that was the song from the 2000 Olympics.
My favorite was his response to Palin calling him the "flavor of the month". Cain said he was not a flavor of the month, but was like "Haagen Daz Black Walnut; a flavor with the real staying power". Unfortunately, they don't make Black Walnut anymore: it was a limited edition flavor of the month.
Lol...maybe there really is a conspiracy trying to stop him from winning the nomination.

I had a long ass debate with my roommate regarding Iran and how our current policies are getting us nowhere.
He basically stonewalled me and asserted that Iran "cannot be reasoned with" to which I asked him what he proposed we do if not attempt to reach some kind of understanding/rapproachment.
He advocated military force, to which I replied that Iran would not go down like Iraq did and would be too large for us to occupy given how stretched we are at the moment.
His response...
...let Israel occupy them.
My response: it would take every man, woman, and child in Israel to subjugate a country the size of Iran if they could do it at all. Which would leave Israel itself open for attack.
Come to think of it that would be the best thing ever for the Arab countries: no more Israel and no more Iran.

I think the solution is far simpler than that. Since there is a large portion of Iranians that do not wish to maintain the current government, you just have to get the government to surrender/abdicate their positions. Then make sure the people hold fair elections and be done with it. I want donuts.
It probably would be that easy, actually. If we actually planned it out like Mo-Fos, we could take out the majority of their government officials in the time span of a few hours: mass assassination.
