Open Debate Thread

Bottom line is, Brownback is going to win. Of the rest of them, I’m guessing either Ron Paul or Rudy Giuliani is going to come off looking the worst. Second-runner-up in that category will be McCain.

What do you people think?

  1. I don’t think Huckabee is so bad. He doesn’t believe in evolution, so that’s a start. Also, I like how Tancredo wants to do something about all of these illegals.

    Tommy Thompson is a clown. He can’t even control his bowels during a debate. I would say it’s worth keeping him around for his comedic value, but we already have half a dozen candidates who are only good for their comedic value. Probably half a dozen who can’t control their bowels, either.

  2. Huckabee and Tancredo are at least conservatives. More than you can say for Rudy McRomney, that’s for sure.

  3. Sam has been sent here from God to strike down all foreigners, dark people, homosexuals, communists, liberal, women, etc. It is clear that he will win the debate. In fact, I predict that Sam will win the debate before a question is even asked – unless of course CNN (Communist News Network) sandbags him. Go, Sam, Go!!!

  4. Fred Thompson (when he eventually declares) is the most viable conservative candidate. A lot of people that fiscally conservative but more socially liberal (like me) wouldn’t vote for Brownback; but we also wouldn’t vote for McCain, Rudy, or Romney either.

    Ron Paul is just nuts.

  12. Being a “creationist” and believing (read: *knowing*) that Sam Brownback is a viable candidate is simply the test of a true American – not like the fake ones who believe that the Constitution, instead of the Bible, is our true governing document. Because the Bible demands that we torture those who insult Christianity, only an uncivil liberal unfamiliar with the ways of reasoned debate can deny that torture is not permissible; in fact it is compulsory. Besides, it’s been proven that the Constitution is a fraud any way.

  13. I agree with most of what St. Legalize said. I’m not sure that the Constitution is a fraud, but it really wouldn’t surprise me anymore. Liberals lie about so many other things, why not this? Maybe the Second Amendment is the only original one left in there, although why the lieberals wouldn’t get rid of that one first is beyond me.

    The vast majority of Republicans realize deep in their souls that the Bible is our True Constitution. Some just have an inkling but they are forgiven because they are at least on the path to righteousness. Those who deny it are not republicans. They are RINOs. Libertarians don’t even understand the concept. You are not forgiven your willful ignorance.

    And “lib” is just a way of writing “liberal” with fewer letters.

    Feel free to call me a “lib.” Then you can call yourself an alphabetic conservative!

    Comment by Fascinated and Confused — June 5, 2007 @ 2:43 pm | Reply

  16. The Constitution is an obvious fraud to me because it guarantees that which the Bible prohibits, i.e. due process of law, the freedom to be secure in one’s possessions and papers, the freedom to avoid torture, the “freedom” to express thoughts contrary to the strict word of Christ, equality among the races, the right of women to vote, and the “freedom” to NOT be compelled toward the only true ideology – the word of Christ. I suspect that liberals, communists, foreigners, women, people of color, gays, etc. manipulted the document at its inception to include the blasphemy contained therein. The proof of this is the fact that the only necessary freedom necessary to men is the freedom to arm one’s self against the tyrany of a state that presumes to become too secular.

    It is the word of God, and therefore subject to no debate. Only an uncivil, barbarian, unaware of the techniques of reason, can disagree with such self-evident truth.

    You make good sense.

    Back to the thread at hand,
    Rudy McRomney doesn’t really concern me. Though it will be fun to watch Rudy try once again to justify allowing murder. McCain has become a gray dwarf of his former self. And Romney? Other than being an insane hallucinating liberal, he always seems to be trying out for a role on Law and Order.
    My one concern is that the other actor is sitting at home cribbing all of Senator Brownback’s best lines and positions and will later use his Hollywood trickery to make people think he believes the script he will later be reading.
    There is only one Senator Brownback and hopefully the devil worshiping CNN will be confused by God so the senator will have a moment to shine and all of America can see his Holy Light.

  25. LOL anyone who is foolish enough to think that Sam didn’t totally dominate this “debate” is probably a weak woman, a “person” of color, a lesbian, an Islamohippy (or their supporters). CNN (Communist non-News Network) did everything it could do to slander God’s chosen land, the United States of America, in this “debate” and STILL Sam won out! It was a performance of Biblical beauty – fitting because of the fraud perpetrated upon God’s chosen land by the false secular document called “the constitution.” Sam is opposed to the rights of women to determine their own fates, the rights of minorities to influence national politics, and the ability of evil foreigners to enter God’s country without taking a religious oath. Anyone who thinks otherwise is uncivil and untrained in reasoned debate LOL! When Sam is selected as teh ruler of America, the gays and the illegals will be promptly shipped off to Gitmo, or (God willing) the new detention state of Vermont, where they will be subject to torture for its own sake, thereby ensuring that white Christian shall reclaim what God has chosen for them – not to mention the hell that awaits the subhuman Islamocommies in Iran. Period.

  27. While you may want Brownback to win, according to GOP.com, he’s in sixth place, just above Gingrich after this last debate. Romney is outdistancing him by at least 5 points.

    He better hurry up and catch Guilliani before the Primaries, which begin really early this time around.

  28. Brownback has it all tied up now. Sometimes when I watch him I just wish he would sneak into my bedroom at night naked and beat me up. There aren’t many men I would trust to take a dump on my chest, but Sam Brownback is easily number 5 or 6 on my list after that debate performance.

  39. I recently came across a great writer who I think Senator Brownback should hire to punch up his speeches. His name is Mike Adams and he has some gems like this:

    “Feminism is a minority social movement, whose members murder innocent children in order to obtain sexual gratification.”

    and in defining a liberal:
    “One who suffers from an emotional disorder that renders him, her, or it unable to appreciate humor.”

    He himself has a great sense of humor that he exhibits here:
    “Now that I’ll no longer be Baptist I can have sex standing up without the fear that people will think I’m dancing.”

    Hopefully, God will find a way to let Senator Brownback find this man. Or, at least Mike Adams will go on tour so I may have a chance to hire him to perform for my next birthday party.

    I think it’s pretty clear at this point that a vote for Giuliani is a vote against God. But if you didn’t know that already, a simple bolt of lightning is probably not going to make it clear to you.

  49. To quote The Oxford American Dictionary:

    liberal |ˈlib(ə)rəl|
    adjective

    1 open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values : they have more liberal views toward marriage and divorce than some people.

    This is a reasonably accurate definition of “liberal”. It also means that Martin Luther, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and perhaps even Jesus were “liberals”.

  50. Not in the present-day sense, of course, but in the sense of the definition. All I’m saying by this is that liberals are not simply “against everything”, and that liberalism is not necessarily bad.

    “Brownback is at what, 1 or 2%? And that’s just the Republican vote.”

    Moonbat polls don’t count. By my reckoning, Brownback has at least 40% of the Republican vote and 35% of the general vote all sewed up. He only has to capitalize on his nomination, and he’ll have the whole election sewed up by January 2008.
