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.

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.

The debate is over and they're still arguing. Play nice.

Maybe Charlie Rose should run for President.

If I'm elected President I will implement my 666 plan!

Mitt Romney wants to help the middle class, but he can't find it.

If there was no Government, we wouldn't have to listen to Michele Bachmann.

Santorum wants to repeal more regulations because the ones that were repealed that led to the current crisis were not enough.

Jon Huntsman has joke writers.

Rich Lowry from Lowry's Restaurants?

Romney spent his life in economy...is that like the Matrix?

I'm hungry for that pizza deal.

Finally...Reagan!

Rick Perry was reading Reagan's diary. That was supposed to be private.

Mitt Romney brought his own clip.

If a super committee is good, wouldn't a super-super committee be better?

Michele Bachmann is a voice in the wilderness and that's a good place for her.

John the Baptist was talking about Michele Bachmann.

Michele using more New Testament imagery.

Huntsman says it's going to be U.S. and China. New cold war!

On day One I will issue Two executive orders!

Shouldn't someone be occupying the CEO of Honeywell?

October 11, 2011, 6:08 pm PST

thejamestripp James Tripp

Can you name your 52 points? I have 999.

I'm offended by Romney's use of the word "Heck."

Mitt Romney will wave his magic wand and undue Health insurance reform.

28 kids is enough.

If elected, Cain will change parliamentary procedure.

Charlie Rose is apparently unable to ask a question unless he is sitting at a round table.

A young Alan Greenspan would make a good Fed Chairman.

I think Alan Greenspan was the only Fed Chairman Cain could name.

Banks are charging $5 debit card fees because they're crooks.

The Chinese couldn't compete with us if they'd lend us more money.

Perry has lots of blame, no solutions.

The Heckler had a better answer.

Shouldn't Michele be adopting her 24th foster child?

Michele should adopt Newt Gingrich.

Why are they all saying such mean things about the President?

Why is Rick Santorum still running?

Charlie Rose is a table person.

"Breaking Taboo" - October 3, 2011

Here's yesterday's podcast of "Breaking Taboo" with me, Rick Overton, Johnny Dam and Host Lakota Phillips in which we talk about "Occupy Wall Street" and "Occupy LA:"

Tonight's debate will accept questions from Fox News' viewers which should be interesting because normally they don't question anything.

September 22, 2011, 6:03 pm PST

thejamestripp James Tripp

Orange is a conservative color to name your county in FL or CA.

The first question is from a job creator.

My debate: Google or Fox?

Details is a magazine wherein Rick Perry looks at the pictures.

Is this thing on?

Mitt Romney has 59 points when 58 would do.

Mitt wants us to have the same opportunities he had. I don't like lobbyists.

My money doesn't belong to Barack Obama; it was stolen by George Bush.

Rick Santorum is wearing a striped tie. Must have a new stylist.

Santorum doesn't think the government has to follow U.S. labor laws. Santorum doesn't think.

There's no danger in a future President raising taxes under Cain's 999 plan because it will never be law.

I can't wait to see what people watching the debate think of the people watching the debate watching the debate.

Mitt is upset that Perry is a Flip-Flopper. That's Mitt's job!

Rick and Mitt's staff read each other candidate's books.

"I believe in America." --Mitt "the Godfather"

I would eliminate the Congress Department.

Eliminate the EPA before they discover the GOP stinks

Newt likes to debate his questioners. Must be a fun Prof.

Let's stop teaching Evolution!

The less education the freer we think!

 Eliminate the Defense Department...I mean Education Department.

"The Mother of all repeal bills," starting with the Constitution.

"Local anesthesia for all my friends!"

I would build a fence around Michele Bachmann.

Illegal immigrants should be educated, but not so much that they vote for somebody else.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it...Frost

I'm debating which products to buy during the commercials.

"It is unacceptable for Iran to become a nuclear nation and I don't feel so good myself."

If you mess with Israel, you mess with the U.S. and the retired people in the Florida audience.

Newt wants to privatize diplomacy.

The world is in the process of becoming more dangerous if Newt is elected.

I think Gary Johnson wants to submit a balanced budget.

I think we should blockade Cuba!

Only Santorum can save Santorum.

"We should be able to express our faith" unless we're Muslim.

No hugging in the military.

Keep your sex to yourself, which is a sin.

Rich people aren't killed because they don't have health coverage.

"I erred on the side of my former chief-of-staff-turned-lobbyist." -Rick Perry

"It's different than Obamacare." It's Romneycare.

"There are a lot of reasons not to elect me." Mitt Romney

Glad to be part of the human tragedy!

Let's lower the tax rates and raise the debt!

Finally somebody brings up Reagan!

"Where else but in America could you live in this country?"

Gary Johnson wants to balance the budget.

I would pick the guy who could get me free pizza.

Rick Perry is advocating an unnatural act between Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich.

Nobody is answering the question except Gary Johnson who wants to balance the budget.

Live Tweets From GOP Debate IV

I missed the first part of tonight’s debate. Here’s the rest:

I am a great American Tragedy.

America needs to wean itself off of its heroin like addiction to oil and its addiction to heroin.

Rick Perry smiles like someone who is just about to screw you.

Bachmann described Bush's out of control spending, adopting the "run against Bush" strategy that worked for Obama.

Obama doesn't have a smart phone, he has a blackberry.

Huntsman is using the royal "we."He must be running for King.

My Smartphone is not taking quarters.

Do people in the audience get a door prize?

We should audit Rick Santorum's rational for running.

A zero corporate tax rate is too high. We should give corporations tax refunds and lollipops!

We should get rid of the fed and let me print the money.

Is Rick Perry using the Fed for political purposes?

September 12, 2011 6 pm PST

thejamestripp James Tripp

I would put Elvis Presley on the dollar bill.

Newt works for Fox and doesn't like GE, which owns MSNBC.

Newt is cheerfully opposed to getting out of a race he can't win.

Romney made an actual proposal.

If Rick Perry had it to do over again, he wouldn't have been influenced by that lobbyist.

Rick Perry will use an executive order to nullify the constitution. At least it's efficient.

Rick Perry needs a Scooby snack.

Rick Perry is offended that Bachmann thinks he could be bought for $5,000. He could be bought for $10,000.

Health care reforms---stop eating so much pizza.

Romney says Obama cut Medicare. Will he restore the cut?

Obama is post dating checks? I thought only I did that.

I hope the commercials are better than the debate.

Reason #27 to applaud: My uninsured neighbor is sick and may die.

We should close all the Borders and shop online.

This audience doesn't like education. Surprising.

If illegal immigrants are breaking the law, how did liberals pass laws that created illegal immigration, 

Michele?

Mitt, they didn't come for a handout, but they're still voting for Democrats.

"EPA Gone Wild" is my favorite DVD!

This audience could have used a warm-up act.

Wolf is such a tease going into commercial.

Rick Perry is bringing his wife. I prefer the horse shoes.

Bachmann would bring the constitution and the Bill of Rights to the White House. The Bill of rights is part of the constitution.

is off to watch a coma patient expire. He should have been insured.

Live Tweets of President Barack Obama's Address To Congress

September 8, 2011, 4 pm PST

thejamestripp James Tripp

is live tweeting the President's address to Congress.

Boehner borrowed Rick Santorum's pink tie.

Congress seems to get along with the President's cabinet.

I don't recognize a lot of Congressmen unless they're standing with a lobbyist.

Boehner's applause does not seem sincere.

Obama doesn't care about politics, just getting re-elected.

Congress is finally doing something about the economy; they are applauding doing something about the economy!

Mitch McConnell looks sad.

How come only half of the house is giving a standing O to O?

Obama keeps talking about passing a jobs bill as if it’s a joint someone is bogarting.

I've heard this Warren Buffet story before.

I believe the tax should be flat and I claim it for Queen Isabella of Spain!

"We have to decide what our priorities are." Fundraising for re-election.

He hasn't said, "Pass this bill" in a while. Is that part over?

All the men in the room look like they're wearing the same suit.

If Obama wants to sell more cars overseas, he'd better raise emission standards.

We're not #1?

Regulations are for the regulators!

I've identified 501 reforms.

You mean we're not going to wipe out the New Deal?

Obama is playing the "Race to the Bottom" card.

Obama is talking about a Republican who looked to the future...November.

Steve Case is in the House. Thanks for reminding me I'm unemployed and I lost money on AOL.

Will he close with "Pass the bill?"

"Man can be as big as he wants!" especially in the aisles of Wal-Mart.

September 8, 2011, 4:45 pm PST

thejamestripp James Tripp

My guess is Congress won't "Pass the jobs bill now."
