Live Tweets From GOP Debate Part X
thejamestripp James Tripp
will be
live tweeting the Republican debate beginning tonight at 6 pm PST.
thejamestripp James Tripp
Newt is
using one of his scary words---"radical."
Will the
media still call Ron Paul a dark horse if he wins?
Rick
Santorum will light the people of Iowa on fire. That's radical.
Rick Perry
would be a part time President.
I wish I could
sign a pledge.
They are
blaming the President for an obstructionist Congress.
Jon
Huntsman said the tax should be flat. I say it should be round and I claim it
for Queen Isabella of Spain!
Newt seems
like it's beneath him to be there.
Newt
worked with Habitat for Humanity. He’s a regular Jimmy Carter.
Ron Paul
needs to raise his speaking fee.
There are
a lot of good GSA's, Newt isn't one of them.
I am
shocked...shocked that there is gambling going on in Washington!
You should
have facts before you speak unless you have facts before you speak.
Rick Perry
looks like he doesn't recognize what he said.
We already
have a part time Congress T-Th.
Here comes
the judge!
thejamestripp James Tripp
I'll bet
Newt won't close the divorce court.
My
favorite judge is Steven Tyler.
thejamestripp James Tripp
The
audience is easily amused.
Obama
followed through on the agreement signed by Bush.
Nothing
could be more dangerous than stating the facts to this audience.
I declare
a no flies zone between Rick Perry's ears!
Up with
oil! Down with aquifer!
Texas
politicians are the biggest wind makers.
Monroe
Doctrine? Cuba? ¿QuĂ©
Jon
Huntsman makes too much sense.
Marriage
is a relationship between a man, a woman and a corporation.
Barbaric
is one of Newt's words. Bachmann shouldn't use it.
Life
begins at 5 PM.
Life
begins when this debate is over.
thejamestripp James Tripp
Are you
better off today than you will be in four years?

"Breaking Taboo" - December 5, 2011
Here's today's podcast of "Breaking Taboo" with me, Steven Forrest and Host Lakota Phillips (There's a technical difficulty in the middle where there's a dead spot, but just forward through it:) :

Live Tweets From GOP Debates Part IX

James Tripp
will be
live tweeting the GOP debate beginning at 5 pm PST.
thejamestripp James
Tripp
Newt is
surging over his belt.
I'm still
not sure who's winning.
I liked
the National Anthem better when Frankie Valli sang it.
Who's
winning this debate?
Let the
games begin!
I am James
Tripp and I want to be your next President. Am I winning?
Will the
real Presidential candidate please stand up?
The
greatest nation that ever "was," says Huntsman.
We should
use every tool to combat terrorism, but that's no reason to vote for New
Gingrich.
Do not
sacrifice liberty for security unless you want to scare the American people
into voting for the GOP.
I need to
get a wireless phone.
The wages
of sin are not enough, so I'm forming a union
Rick Perry
has failed to collect intelligence.
Ron Paul
can't believe he's in a debate with these bozos.
The GOP Debates
were just picked up for the back 13!
Rick Perry
has no understanding of foreign policy.
Bachman-1
Perry-Less than 0.
We should
send the UC Davis Police in to break up the occupation of Pakistan.
"Don't
complain if we kill people." You tell 'em, Newton.
By
"radical leaders," Santorum means, "Democrats."
Someone
from the Heritage Foundation is not a member of the audience, but a
representative of one the
sponsors of the debate.
My friend
Ernie is less than a year away from getting a loud Hawaiian shirt, but that's
no reason for a preemptive attack.
Santorum
has relations all over the world, but he's no Herman Cain.
thejamestripp
James Tripp
We should be blowing people up, not
putting them back together! #MittRomney
If I'm elected President, I'm going
to Disneyland!
Newt helped form a caucus before he
was forced to resign his office in disgrace.
Not only will Gingrich bomb, he will
change their regime. You go, girl.
If I'm elected President, I will
appoint a super-duper committee!
I never heard Obama say
"Y'all." #RickPerry
Brutus is an honorable man.
We'll be funding China's military,
but we'll also be their suppliers. It's a job creator!
I think there should have been an
opposing view to Wolf Blitzer's station identification.
Why do they keep identifying members
of the Heritage Foundation as just members of the audience?
Rick Perry wants to Occupy the banks
in Mexico.
Santorum has a four point plan,
which is five less than nine.
What if they don't go to church,
Newt? Should we let them in?
Mitt Romney is a party animal.
Rick Perry is magnetic. We must stop
him.
Rick Perry is very into boots.
Now to debate which product to
buy...
There is no reason to applaud for
the Heritage Foundation.
Cain will not support a no fly zone
in Syria; he will deliver pizza anywhere in 30 minutes.
The people asking the questions know
more than the people answering them.
Regime change in Syria, Not USA. #MittRomney
"This is not just about Syria,
it's about Iran..." because I don't know anything about Syria. #HermanCain

From Newt Gingrich’s answer, I think
he’s been watching "24" on DVD.

James Tripp
It's
always good to start a debate with commercials.
I want to
hear Rick Perry say, "nu-cle-ar."
If Newt
had a cat in his lap he'd be a good James Bond villain.
Rick Perry
wants to re-invade Afghanistan with a three point plan of attack.
"How
can we begin to seek peace without war?"
Jon
Huntsman doesn't want to invade anybody. I don't get it.
"We
don't negotiate with Democrats."
Newt wants
to invade Pakistan.
Cain
wishes they all could be Pakistani girls.
Rick Perry
is sticking to talking points and not answering the questions. He's not fooling
me.
Rick Perry
went back to the talking ppoint instead of answering the follow-up.
What is
Michele Bachmann mourning?
Finally
someone standing up for Christianity!
Isn't it
Santorum's turn to surge?
I don't
agree with the positions the commercials are taking.
Nobody
wants to answer the questions.
John Paul
II, Newt?
This panel
wants to invade Iran. Let Israel do it.
Is it
torture to question a subordinate with your hand on her knee?
Perry
wants to invade cyberspace.
thejamestripp James Tripp
"Everyone
will be put into Obamacare." Sounds okay to me.
Herman
Cain would reverse all three things, but he only named two.
Who needs
the rule of law when the yahoos in the audience have pitchforks?
Let's get
rid of Romneycare.
Where is
Tim Pawlenty on all of this?
If you have to work to get your
unemployment check, then you're not unemployed.
It's LBJ's fault!
Herman Cain will do a lot of
consulting if he's elected President.
"Here's another fine
mess!"
Banks that are "too big to
fail" should be broken up.
thejamestripp James Tripp
Perry survived.

The 98%
I’m a little concerned that only 1% of the 99% are
representing 100% of the 99% and I think it’s time somebody started protesting
about this, but not me. I’m not a trouble maker. It’s just that the people in
the Occupy movement aren’t 99% of the people. They’re probably not even 1% of
the 99% of the people they say they represent. They’re not the only ones getting
the business from business. They’re just the ones with sleeping bags and no
toilets, but that’s no reason to listen to them. I have things say too. Listen
to me. I am a spokesman for the 98% of the 99%.
The only trouble is, I have nothing to say, but
that’s no reason not to say anything. Long live the ninety-eight!
First of all, my landlord’s an asshole. I want to
state that right off. I have rent control, so the landlord doesn’t want to fix
anything. The landlord wants me to move out so he can raise the rent. “Fuck-you,
landlord. I’m not moving out. Fix the sink!” The only way I get repairs done is
if I call the building inspector, which I have to do every six months. I’m on a
first name basis with Building Inspector Yen, but that’s no reason to use his
first name.
Secondly, how come I never got on “The Tonight Show
with Johnny Carson?” What, did he think he was some kind of a big shot? Is it
because I didn’t have tits and didn’t blow Jim McCawley?
The 98% of the 99% have a lot more to say than the
1% of the 99%. I think I’m proving that. I don’t think the 99% are saying
anything, which makes me think we’re a lot alike, but that’s not important.
What is important is that we’re different.
Here’s something that bugs me---people who make
lists of things that bug them. I got things that bug me too! Who needs to
listen to your list? Stupid 1% of 99%.
Too big to jail banks are a big problem. I get it,
1% of the 99%. Maybe you’re right about that. The banks are bigger now than
they were before the crash. That’s bad. I get it. I saw “The Merchant of
Venice,” the one with Al Pacino, and I could be wrong, but he doesn’t look
Jewish---maybe a Northern Italian Jew (Are there any?), but I digress, and it’s
not worth protesting, and who knows, maybe this digression is more interesting
than the body of words that surround it and maybe I should digress more often,
but that’s a digression, also not worth protesting. There are at least 1% out
of 99% of you who are not amused by this, maybe more.
My bank has all kinds of new regulations, and
somebody ought to complain about that, but not me. I got a letter the other day
saying I have to have money to keep an account. Stupid bank. They’re gonna lose
a perfectly good customer!
Bank of America and Citibank wanted to start charging
a $5 monthly debit card fee but people wouldn’t pay so they backed off. Fuck
you, Bank of America and Citigroup, although in the interest of full
disclosure, I do own stock in Citigroup. Fuck me.
Unemployment’s a problem. I get it, one per centers
of ninety-niners. You don’t have a job. I don’t have a job either. You don’t
hear me complaining. Do you think people pay me for this? They don’t. I’ve been
unemployed for so long now that I had to put it on my résumé. But just because
I’m unemployed, that’s no reason to get a job. Why should I go to work for a
corporation like some serf when I could be surfing if I surfed? So I can buy a
big new plasma TV and fancy new car and food?
Here’s another thing to complain about---but not me.
I won’t be complaining. There are too many media companies. I don’t have that
kind of time. With 5 different corporations controlling the flow of mass
communication in this country, it just gets confusing. We need more media
consolidation. News Corporation should buy everything, including lobbyists, so
we can get one consistent message. I don’t know what that message should be yet,
but it will be for immediate release…Maybe, “Sale Thursday!”
If News Corporation owned everything, we wouldn’t
have to pay politicians so much to run for office. Who needs campaign finance
reform when News Corporation can tell you who to vote for? Why make politicians
collect a bunch of little checks when it’s so much easier to just collect one
big one?
The Supreme Court said that corporations are people,
but I still won’t visit them on holidays. If corporations are people, how do
they fuck? I know how they fuck me. I don’t even have the rights to the patent
on my own DNA, which can sometimes be a problem.
There are already seven billion other people in the
world and only 106 of them are following me on Twitter. Maybe corporations
should count as people. Then they could follow me.
Corporations are not people. They have more rights
than people. My friend, Ernie, went public and he got arrested. Corporations
should not have unlimited free speech rights. Just ask the Marlboro Man. You
can’t. He died of cancer. Corporations shouldn’t have the same rights to free
speech as people and I’m not so sure we should give it to the Supreme Court. Maybe they ought to shut up. That’d set a new
precedent. I have contempt for this Supreme Court. It was a five to four
decision. With a Supreme Court like this, who needs elections?
Don’t get me wrong. I love corporations. Why, some
of my best friends are incorporated! I wouldn’t want one to marry my sister. I’m
thinking of incorporating myself to avoid federal election spending limits and
for the limited liability because I’m liable to do anything. “Was’t Hamlet
wronged Laertes? Never Hamlet. Twas Hamlet’s corporation.”
At this point, I should probably point out that I
forget the point, but that’s not important to the point I’m trying to make. My
fellow ninety-eight per-centers, this country isn’t a Republic, it’s a
privately held corporation, founded in Philadelphia, more recently a Delaware
corporation, soon to be relocating to Switzerland, but that’s no reason to
occupy it.

Live Tweets From GOP Debate Part VII
thejamestripp James Tripp
will live tweet
the Las Vegas GOP debate, where the odds are the candidates, today starting at
5 pm PST.
thejamestripp James Tripp
is looking
forward to the commercials in tonight's GOP debate.
Tonight's
debate will be multimedia, but I may still fall asleep.
I think we
need another GOP debate after this one.
Who
produced this opening and why?
What's
with the dramatic music?
Every time
I see Michele Bachmann she has more make-up on her eyes than the last time I
saw her.
Shouldn't @DonRickles be in this Las Vegas debate?
I disagree
with Rick Santorum's position on his daughter.
Herman
Cain started giving his wife the business 42 years ago.
Perry
would be a job creator if he withdrew from the race and let someone else take
the position.
thejamestripp James Tripp
is happy
to be in Vegas.
Did you
know that Michele Bachmann was a former tax attorney?
Shouldn't
a tax attorney be in favor of taxes?
Herman
Cain is in analysis.
My plan is
better that Herman Cain's. My plan is called 9-9-9-9.
Cain's constituents
don't understand him and neither do I.
Newt wants
0 capital gains so Warren Buffet doesn't have to pay anything.
We need to
resurrect the Glass-Steagall Act.
There's a
lot of natural gas on stage.
People in
the lower class have more mobility because they're homeless.
Did Mitt
Romney just say he took a crap in Massachusetts?
I don't
have a name you can add care to-Obamacare, yes. Romneycare, yes. Trippcare? No.
The
evolution of the mandate-1. Newt 2. Mitt 3. The President.
The
commercials were longer than Cooper said they would be.
I can't
wait to be e-verified!
A pizza in
every pot!
these
boots on the ground were made for stomping.
If you
have anything nice to say about the President, don't say anything at all.
I will
enforce English as the official language of this panel.
They love
legal immigration as long as they're Americans.
Texas is
no California.
Check his
papers!
I think
Herman Cain left out an ethnic group.
Dan Rather
was an anchor baby. I know.
thejamestripp James Tripp
Faith is
being crushed by our courts and our government which is a good thing.
We need to
bring our troops home so they can occupy America!
If nobody
wants nuclear waste, maybe we shouldn't generate it.
What kind
of a debate is this? They all agree.
How do you
repair the economy without criticizing Obama?
Rick Perry
wrote a letter to Congress which was as effective as the one I wrote in Mrs.
Toomey's 1st grade class.
Cain was
for TARP when the polls were for it and against TARP when the polls changed.
Who has
the biggest flag pin?
"Government
can't manage anything," especially if Ron Paul is running it.
Everybody
has the right to have two arms.
Santorum
is no John Kennedy.
"How
can you trust him with power if he doesn't prey?" - Newt. I'll prey if
Newt gets elected.
Ron Paul
wants to eliminate the Department of President.
Cutting
defense spending would be like cutting defense contractors contributions to my
campaign.
We need to
eliminate foreign aid and diplomacy.
Romney wants
to turn Medicare over to the states which are almost bankrupt.
Michele
wants to invoice the countries we invade.
Newt
thinks selling arms for hostages was a mistake---out on a limb.
Santorum
is at 1%. Does that mean he's rich?
Mitt
Romney has created job openings.
And now
the end is near.
Michele is
baking a cake.
thejamestripp James Tripp
The debate is over and they're still
arguing. Play nice.
