Who Made the Most Outlandish Comment During Last Night's Republican Debate?

• My poor misguided Douche, Douche, Douche. You are going way  too easy on Chaz Stevens, Pathetic Plagerer.   http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/09/08/314493/despite-41-dna-exonerations-in-texas-in-last-9-years-perry-says-he-never-loses-sleep-over-executing-the-innocent/ You want to thank someone for this "great" post, then thank the journalist who <b>wrote</b> it - Marie Diamond. Quick rule of thumb.  If its not delusional, then its plagiarized.

• Sounds like you are an educated person but I'm not sure where you get your "facts".   Global warming is crap, many states have exonerated the convicted through DNA testing, and not all Republicans cheer those who have lost their life to the death penalty.   I am pleased to hear that you have not been visited by evil, but for those of us that have, we know it must be eradicated and we have the courage to do so.  You might be onto something with this evolution stuff though, it appears it may have had played a part in your existence.

• Is CNN so desperate for an audience that they will bed the Tea Party? How pathetic. "But in data we have recently collected, the Tea Party ranks lower than any of the 23 other groups we asked about — lower than both Republicans and Democrats. It is even less popular than much maligned groups like “atheists” and “Muslims.” Interestingly, one group that approaches it in unpopularity is the Christian Right." -- NY Times, Aug. 16, 2011

• Sociopaths don't reflect. They're deciders.

• In all fairness to you Douche Bag, that was a great post. Now only if you will stop slapping your woman around, I can respect you.

• Here is a better question.  Why is it the repubs can only field right wing extremists for these elections? If I was a republican, and I cant since I am not a fat cat, I would demand a reshuffle of this deck.

• I'm sticking with the $5,000.

• I have an idea for a poll. How much would it cost to buy Rick Perry? Since he essentially admitted he could be bought, but not for a measely $5,000.00, let's guess how much it would cost to buy us a genuine Texas Hoowa. 1) $100,000; 2) $1,000,000.00; 3) $40,000.00 and a lifetime supply of barbeque; 4) $20,000.00, cowboy boots and botox.  I'm going with number 1.

• At the previous debate at the Reagan Library, there was a spontaneous round of applause for executing people! And Perry shows no remorse, not even a tiny smidgen of reflection, especially when we know for certain that he signed the death warrant for an innocent man. Here’s why I find it impossible to be a Republican: any crowd that instantly cheers the execution of 234 individuals is a crowd I want to flee, not join. Here in the U.S, we are very likely about to execute an innocent person in the State of Georgia. That Perry in particular likely enabled the execution of an innocent man — as well as numerous other highly disturbing killings, of the young and mentally infirm — makes the cheering all the more repellent. That the death penalty in America has long been plagued by a serious racial bias makes it worse still. That this death-cheering comes from a party that relentlessly touts itself as ”pro-life” and derides the other as The Party of Death — and loves to condemn Islam (in contrast to its war-loving self) as a death-glorifying cult — only adds a layer of dark irony. During Perry’s tenure as governor, DNA evidence has exonerated at least 41 people convicted in Texas. According to the Innocence Project, “more people have been freed through DNA testing in Texas than in any other state in the country, and these exonerations have revealed deep flaws in the state’s criminal justice system.” Some 85 percent of wrongful convictions in Texas, or 35 of the 41 cases, are due to mistaken eyewitness identifications. In the end, we’re learning quite a bit about how Rick Perry thinks. Scientists tell him, after rigorous, peer-reviewed, international research that global warming is real, and Perry responds, “I don’t care.” A deeply flawed judicial process puts potentially-innocent Americans on death row, and Perry responds, “Let’s get the killin’ started.”The governor balks when presented with evidence on evolution, abstinence education, and climate change, but embraces without question the notion that everyone he’s killed in Texas was 100 percent guilty. The scientific process, he apparently believes, is unreliable, while the state criminal justice system is infallible.Intellectually, morally, and politically, this isn’t just wrong; it’s scary. The fact that Republicans in the audience found this worthy of hearty applause points to a party that’s bankrupt in more ways than one. But what do I know? I'm a card carrying Socialist.
