If he actually just said "this country should be like motherfucking Spider-Man" I would totally vote for him, no joke
He has to pronounce the hyphen, though

He's just saying, "Things where all going well when we had Enron and Worldcom. Why was that bad?"
Like I said. They really want Perry.
Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."

At times, I swore they had, "If wish to pick fight between Santorum and Paul, ask this question...." on their blue cards
I mean, I get that it's attacking some of the right wing stuff, but it was a poorly worded question.

I think fair is fair. If you campaign on being a religious nutjob, and a big part of that is being submissive to your husband (and general female inferiority), shouldn't the husband be the one running as he's the one that would ultimately be running the show?
"There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother."
I missed that, but I'm guessing it was a reference to her saying before that she became a tax lawyer because her husband asked her to and wives need to submit to their husbands. I don't remember the details because it's a pretty insane story but if the word submissive or submit was thrown around that's probably why.
I liked how much the crowd hated a submissive Bachmann.

That's what it was based on. The question itself was more or less on the lines of "If you were President of the United States, would you be submissive to your husband?"
I get the point behind asking it. I get the whole religious nutjob thing and everything, but the way the question was worded just seemed.
I dunno, it was a bit.... eh. It struck a wrong chord with me.

Going by any actual definition of the word submissive I don't want really any member of government being always submissive to, well, anyone really that isn't actually their boss.
But Bachman apparently believes submissive means respects.

It was meant to. When she said "Women should be submissive to their husbands because the bible said so," she points out the wee bit of bias in the ole good book.
We live in the modern world. Women are just as capable in anything as men. The question was meant to ask her to explain how she can say or believe one thing and then still be on that stage. The question, as did many in that debate, openly proposed that the candidate was a hypocrite. And to go back to what Fencingsax said, man, do they really want Perry.
Which, of course, it doesn't.
Is a hypocrite.
Eh guess I didn't miss anything good, I stepped away from the interwebs to prepare myself for an evening of debauchery.
Overall it was much more interesting of a debate than I thought it'd be, I don't really think it'll impact the straw poll (I'm mostly waiting to see if there's a large number of write-ins for Rick Parry, with an A as in America!)
Fair enough.
Nah, not much. Fight between Pawlenty and Bachmann, fight between Santorum and Paul. Romney deflecting. Huntsman trying to pose sane answers which made him sound all the worse. Cain, "I'm a businessman and I got jokes" and Angry Gingritch. Oh and some fights between the candidates and the moderators...it was almost as if they were expecting softball questions or something....
Listen we could discuss this all day but I have to take the person who respects me a whole lot to the S&M club. So they can be respectful to me in front of lots of people.
and a lot more pointed than i think the candidates were expecting.
Hunstman won points with me on his NCLB answer and I vaguely remember his civil unions answer not sucking too badly.
Cain won some minor points with 'america needs to know how to take a joke' line, which granted had me chuckle a bit.

I think it's the first email I've gotten from the official Obama '12 campaign. Pretty funny it's "hey check out these nutters tonight".
That, or the question was intended to answer if a vote for her for President was actually a vote for her husband. If her husband told her to veto a bill that she liked, would she do it?
It's because he was the only candidate that said something even to the extent of "Hey, gay folks have rights too..."
And enlightenedbum, that Sierra Nevada line cracked me up. Sullivan and his "Dish" continue to be one of my favorite websites.
To be fair, Rick Santorum said that gay folks have rights.
Just only in Iran.
that was really one of the weirder moments.
