Beyonce’ Question:

I was perusing the web, and a common theme on articles/blog posts about Beyonce always lead to discussions about ehr not finishing high school or having a GED…..

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought that the “original” Destiny’s Child were home schooled or something? It’s definitely the wikipedia story, and I recall seeing it on 60 minutes maybe? I just really thought that was the story no?

Just listening to the candidates discuss their views is painful enough without adding in cheers for execution or affirmative shouts to “let people die.” With the way things are going, I’m afraid to see what next week’s applause point is.

The words “Pants on Fire” come up repeatedly.

I like that the only thing that was rated true was Romney saying that Perry said that Social Security was a failure.

I raised about $30 million… And if you’re saying that I can be bought for $5,000, I’m offended.

Rick Perry

I think he thought he was being charming but really all he’s done is made us ask “So exactly HOW much can you be bought for then?”

This is exactly what we were thinking.

Several members of the audience shouted their approval when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul if he’d rather let a 30-year-old man in a coma die due to lack of health care coverage over mandating health insurance for American citizens.

“Congressman, are you saying society should just let him die?” Blitzer asked.

Though several members of the audience shouted “Yeah!” Paul responded “No.”

“I practiced medicine for several years,” Paul said. “The churches took care of them. We never turned anyone away.” [CNN]

We incorrectly stated earlier that Ron Paul reacted with an “awkward silence.” This isn’t correct; as you can see in this video, he clearly said “no” before the audience started yelling. Our apologies. Thanks to ProducerMatthew for being fantastic and getting this video up ten minutes after the debate.

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.
