The best part of the debate was following the commentary on Twitter. There were some serious knee slappers!

Bachmann has a fact checker? Must be a recent hire.

Politifact was finally able to give Ol' Cr@zy Eyes a TRUE rating on ONE of her statements! (So obviously she's slipping, right?).

True--1
Mostly True--0
Half True--2
Barely True--4
False----9
Pants on Fire--7

I bet they're working a (blank) load of overtime.

"Somewhere a guy hired to fact-check Michelle Bachmann just texted his wife to say he'd be home late."

These people are in front of you (we the people) to apply for a job. The procedure will take another year (have got more than 50 weeks to hear them out). What is it that you expect from those applicants? Do you want more than :" being negative"? Now there is a period of 50 weeks to hear them out on THEIR plans. Also there is a chance to find out about their family, no, not their husband/wife. I mean the bigger family, "parents and brothers" I mean, the people you usually never see. They who talk to the applicant, the people you give power while you did not elect them. The " Corporates", find out who they are and you know about your future, before the voting

hello? is this thing on?


ahem...

these people are not strangers. unless one has been in a coma for the last, what?, 30 years, or on a desert island (lord! what i wouldn't give for one of those all to myself.), we know more than well enough about each and every ding danged one of these, um, "appliCANTs." we know so much about all of them that they all might as well have been naked.

who are you tryin' to kid? anyway?

[Ray1948]

Naked? I just threw up in my mouth.

I am only tryong to understand how it is possible that GW Bush gets elected while everyone of the candidates seems to have lived like a "nudist" for over thirty years. Are people than that stupid? I don`t think so, I think the public is badly or not at all aware of what they elect (politician and program)

McCain had to "take a leak", on his Party(by choosing Palin)...now the GOP is tainted with crazy!

[commentsareus]

bachmann reminds me so much of Marcia G. Harden in The Mist. For the S.K. and/or F.D. fans, anything to get my mind off of the goplop.

Odd that Lyndon LaRouche hasn't declared. He seems like a perfect Tea Party candidate.

Sorry Sarah Palin wasn't there. She would have choked on the gotcha questions John King asked. Coke or Pepsi? Thin and crispy or deep dish?

[GraniteSkyline]

07:52 AM on 06/15/2011

She probably backed out when she was told she could NOT debate via Twitter.

[rich3324]

08:47 AM on 06/15/2011

Paper or plastic?

[LMPE]

12:48 AM on 06/15/2011

I'm gonna have to use some of those

WOW> just brilliant, and I thought mine were good

[truthsayer4ever]

10:30 PM on 06/14/2011

I'm sorry but newt looks just like one of the teletubbies. That's about all I got out of the debate (if you can call Obama bashing a debate).

[LMPE]

12:45 AM on 06/15/2011

Does he look like the gay one?

[GraniteSkyline]

08:03 AM on 06/15/2011

I disagree, I think he looks more like the Teletubbies' cousins the Boohbahs.
