GOP Hispanic Leadership Network Debate Open Thread
CNN:
Just days before Florida Republicans go to the polls to choose their nominee, the GOP presidential hopefuls will meet for a final debate hosted by CNN, the Republican Party of Florida and the Hispanic Leadership Network. CNN lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer will moderate the two-hour presidential debate which will take place at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville on Thursday, January 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
So does it help or hurt the candidate at this point if they speak Spanish at this one? Also, two hours of Newt, Mitt, Ron, Rick, and...Wolf Blitzer?
Tequila!
Open debate thread below....




Will Wolfie ask Noot about
when it was a bullshit claim by Nooty.
Only If wolf is not a coward.
He may be far more concerned about 'access' for CNN than about the truth. We'll see...
He may have been cowed by Fib's accusations that the media is not fair. republicans are masters of 'chilling' and 'bullying' the media - kinda like the mob.

Nope. He is pounding on Fannie & Freddie, and the thugs are loving it.

I bet the word "ILLEGAL" is winner for the word cloud.
2nd place goes to REFORM.

More spending is clearly needed on pubic education...
A population of uneducated simpletons is more security for thee elite and the powers that be .The poorer , dumber and more ignorant they can keep the population the better it is for the Republicons in particular , look at an electoral map of this country , red states / blue states . You'd think that inbreeding would be a major issue with these family / moral values Republicans but obviously it benefits the Republican party , has for generations , they're evil , not stupid .
Morans...
It boggles the mind that there would even be anyone in the Latino community who would want to attach our name to a GOP debate. Maybe old habits die hard with los Cubanos or something. Most of the rest of us know that the GOP hates us, and one would be deluded to think that at the end of the day the GOP likes the Cuban-American community anymore than they like the rest of us.
I've never seen change without a fire
republicans are predators and the Cuban-American community are their prey.

Thing Annaleigh, re your first sentence............But then remembered the old adage my enemy's enemy is my friend.............they will get thrown under the bus by the hater in chief no matter what......and that'll be sooner rather than later.

If he named his prospective cabinet, he'd be a shoe-in. ;-)
How 'bout
President: Newt Gingrich
Vice Pres: Sarah Palin (in exchange for Todd's endorsement)
Sec of Treasury: Phil Gramm
Sec of Defense: Paul Wolfowitz
Sec of State: John Bolton
Attorney General: Tom DeLay
How can you go wrong with a ticket like that ?
..not the language of the ghetto.
Then he appologized for that in Spanish...lol

Paul and Santorum had some nastiness. Mitt and Newt had some nastiness. Overall nasty. Nasty audience too. Wolf is nasty period.

I've been tuned into the fascists 'infomercial' for a while now, and no sign of Ron Paul. Typical CNN stove piping.
OK, Paul gets a question.
..and a second question, about his health! nice one blitzer.

Who but a few Paulbots gives a damn about Ron Paul ? He's not even in the running for all practical purposes ... and for good reason .
To raise the level of debate.............however it is lost on the moderators,(if you can call them that), the other participants and particularly the audience...........all they crave is [R]ed meat.
The first casualty of republicanism is the truth.
Party politics are not only undemocratic, they are antidemocratic.
Paul does pucker their butts with the truth at times , I'll give him that .
It is about money noot. There is no money for space. We con't even repair bridges and Noot wants to put a space colony on the moon? The Floridiots should be pissed off at being so obviously pandered to.
What company has $500,000,000,000 to go to the moon? this is idiotic.
Watch The Jetsons, this is Newt's promise to us and it will be by the end of his first term if we will just vote for him . Wolf Blitzer is like a damned robot , that he actually gets paid and has been on the air for so long ... is a sign of the times in this country .
Wolfie to Noot: "Noot are you ready to admit now that you are full of shit?"
private email networks for his govt buddies, destroyed evidence, bid-rigging..
"Two staffers who worked directly for Gov. Scott Walker while he was county executive were charged Thursday with illegally doing extensive political work while being paid by taxpayers to do county jobs."
"One of the two, Darlene Wink, cut a deal with prosecutors under which she has agreed to provide information in a related investigation about the destruction of digital evidence and to aid in further prosecutions. This is the first indication that the multifaceted John Doe investigation may be pursuing charges of evidence tampering."
"Milwaukee County prosecutors also made the surprising disclosure that top Walker aides set up a private Internet network set up by top Walker aides to allow them to communicate with one another by email about campaign as well as county government work without the public or co-workers' knowledge."
"The emails traded by Walker officials via the shadow government could provide investigators with a trove of information as they pursue other angles in the case. Earlier this week, the Journal Sentinel reported that the probe was focusing on possible bid-rigging and other misconduct in the competition to house the county Department on Aging in private office space."

Wonder if the Mackinaw Center will do a FOIA on Walker?
Rush Limbaugh is what a smart person thinks a stupid bigot sounds like.
Noot, "No, I think we should put 8 rockets a day into space."
I need a shot of tequila.
Now Noot says that federal government has failed to spend eoungh on the Everglades. I agree but for a Republican to say the government didn't sped enough is crazy.
to develope them for oil exploration or such. That's my guess, because I'm not watching.
Is Noot going to tell this unemployed woman to just go get a job? Or maybe he will get her a job as a janitor.
Forget it. the dumbass woman without insurance was clapping when Noot said he wanted to repeal "Obama care."
ROFLMAO!
No kidding?
You can't make this shit up.

Too bad there are ZERO pertinent questions - just soft balls custom made for repuli-fascists.

I would say all, but Santorum makes the exception. Are we sure he's not a serial killer? Just saying.
but as an atheist I try not to antagonize the christians on this blog.
I figure if they are here, they are enlightened enough not to let the church define their politics.
or their child rearing.

It's rationalization. It is not true that morality requires religion, but for those that exploit religion, like any cult, it has to be made to serve a purpose, fill a need. No need to be filled, no need to institutionalize religion.

Hispanic voters will not be swayed by a candidate who panders and lies to them in their own language. Bullshit is bullshit no matter where you are in the world, and Latin people are just as good at sniffing it out as anybody else.

"Respect are country speak english" Maybe the sign maker needs to learn how to speak english first!
notice America's = America is ... official language, agree these sign writers need to use Americas official language or be sent to Gitmo
"Respect are country"? "America's offical language"? Are these for real? Or are they engaging in political satire?
