I want to hear Carson answer questions tonight about getting rid of Medicare and Medicaid. Most of his support is from retirees and older workers, and this plan seems like it will hit pretty close to home for them.

This is the part where I tell you Medicare and Medicaid are going to end one way or the other: we either reform it now or kick the can down the road and let them implode upon themselves because they're financially unsustainable.

Hint: the solution to the problem isn't "tax the rich."

And the is the part where I roll my eyes and ask you how Rand Paul is doing in the polls.

Hint: You may be the only guy who ever thought he was a legit candidate ...

So forgive me if I do not put much stock in your political prognostications.

Mitt Romney says Lindsay Graham belongs on the big stage. Mitt Romney is a fucking idiot.

The point about Medicare is not speculation. It is a matter of reading statistics. Keep kicking that can, though...

John Kasich is a goofus. Goofus is what I call my one year old when she eats garbage.

Rand's tax plan is garbage. Shifting the payroll tax to employers does nothing. Your pay stub deductions will be smaller but your wages will be cut to pay for it.

Rubio is winning and it's not close.

Huckabee is running for Jesus. He wants to be president so he can cure cancer and heart disease.

Carson and Trump were ineffective most of the night, and both got caught in contradictions by the mods.

Fiorina's explanation about her biz record was weak.

Christy's faux tough guy schtick is silly.

Kasich was better as the adult on stage and looked desperate and mean spirited on the attack.

Jeb might as well be invisible.

Huckabee is not going to be president. Focus on the diseases that cost the most seems to lack much humanity.

Cruz ... Goof sound bite candidate who comes off as completely insincere. Plus he looks like Eddie Munster. several posters on IE could explain his positions more effectively than he does.

Rand s a terrible candidate.

Moderators were terrible ... Not just because the questions were loaded (they often were). but disorganized and sloppy. Still, someone needs to tell the candidates that the media isn't running and they should debate those who are.

I just taught a class about politics.

Not issues. I taught a good old fashioned civics class.

These kids picked up on it! At the end, they realized that slow,
plodding, pragmatic representative democracy is the best kinda government.

They're smart and I won.

Watching both debates (both democrat and republican) is just like watching this on a loop over and over and over.

EDIT: And how the heck is there not a better youtube video of this...

Every day, I tell my kids that they have the power to change society the way they want it to be.

You don't get to be lazy and complain on the internet all day, you have to go make change. Or Shut Up.

Your opinion is only as welcome as your activism for it.

From a policy standpoint I think they all suck. :) Feel the Bern!

I hope he wins too. That way President Obama will see what real gridlock looks like and he'll realize that his problems with Congress had nothing to do with race.

You want Socialism? Watch Star Trek. Everybody lives in a scripted utopia and it only lasts an hour.
