The Teapublican candidates and their supports are repulsive and ignorant. Why do they think being gay is ONLY about sex? What a bunch of assholes.

They want less government... but they want to allow that government the decision of who/who not to kill. They cheer for the hypothetical concept of a man dying because he doesn't have health care. Now, they boo a gay soldier because he asks "are you going to support me if you're elected."

What a bunch of idiots. I'm not using a pejorative here... they are literally IDIOTS.

    Yeah right!!!! How is all that hope and change working out for you now???

    The bottom line is we need something better in Washinton than we have now. Call them tea baggers, what ever you want, just know- we willl NEVER be able to spend our way out of what we are in now.

    The key to it all is spend less and smaller government. Socialism does NOT work!

    on topic... he ended the explicit discrimination against gays by the government that we've been fighting for since 1964. So, "all that hope and change" is working out pretty darn good.

    the rest of your comment is off topic and sounds like a Rush Limbaugh sound byte... misinformed and just plain not true. Re-examine your fact base.

    I was thinking with these 'audience wrong-doer idiot types' and their happenings,
    wouldn't it be a kicker to find out they belonged to the opposite party
    just trying to stir some shit up ... give the other party 'the look'

    wouldn't surprise me ...
    getting ready for the dirty play starting soon if it hasn't already

    where is the socialism??

    calling obama a socialist is an insult to socialists..

    perhaps you should read up on socialism before you start throwing that word around..

    It's working out pretty well for gay soldiers, actually. And It's working out pretty well for many Americans. And will continue to work out well if we stay the course.

    Hm. An interesting comment. So... what is it about allowing gay soldiers to serve in the military is "socialist?"

    And I guess more to point... do you know what "socialism" means? Because our current president isn't a socialist.

    back on topic by the way...

    it is a shame that they have to pander to the lowest of the people in our country...the anti gay bigots...the selfish who do not want insurance for everyone, etc..

    I think homosexuals should be able to be out and in the military. I think there are at least a few Republican candidates who agree with this stance. Trying to label the entire party based on one segment, is actually "stupid".

    Regardless, on the priority list of things that should be discussed during the Presidential debate, this is pretty damn low.
    Here's a new demo called "in the fire":

    Why is it, that after every republican debate, we talk about how the crowd either cheered death or booed a gay soldier or something else of the sort? The excuse is, it's just a "couple" of audience members but it's a couple audience members in every crowd. I think it is fair to say that once these dipshits become a trend (which they have), that these couple of members in the crowd are representative of the base of the new republican party, uneducated bigots.

    I am sure this will go over great with a few people here but I don't really give a shit.

    We're not talking about sensible republicans here... we're talking teapublicans (or tea party, or [deleted] what have you). And yes, you can label that entire subgroup as being moronic bigots. I've yet to meet one that isn't.

    so you believe that something called equal rights is not a high priority for a presidential debate. I can't imagine a higher one.

    yes i can agree with you. i actually respected the gop before the tea party hijacked it and took it to the far fringes of the right.

    You have it backwards my friend ... the GOP hijacked the tea party.

    People that are true to the Tea Party's original charter are not concerned with gay marriage, DADT, abortions, and other social issues. That doesn't mean someone can't have an opinion on those issues, but they are not issues for which the Tea Party came to fruition. It came to fruition based on the following:

    * Fiscal Responsibility
    * Constitutionally Limited Government
    * Free Markets

    So someone jeering a gay soldier isn't a Teapublican, they are old-school social conservatives.
