The Ron Paul camp calls Trump a loon, whose antics are beneath the
dignity of the presidency, and the first thing Trump does is prove them
right. Comedy gold.

Donald Trump may be a huge factor in guaranteeing Obama’s reelection.

Paul finally got something right.

I don’t see much difference between Trump moderating than some who have already moderated. I will be interested somewhat as to how this will go.

I’m glad that nobody in the GOP sees the problem of a one time possible candidate as a debate moderator.

Paul has the right idea on this-going to this clown show of a debate would be an error of major proportion.

And the fact that GIngrich jumped on pretty much proves that hypothesis.  

After the Trump Debate, the candidates are all going to have to start voting each other off. I wonder if anybody has found the hidden immunity idol. Either way, somebody’s going to Redemption Island.

Trump can lead all the GOP clowns on a 2 hour discussion of Obama’s birth certificate, number one issue in Trump’s universe.

Ron Paul knows this is only good news for Obama. Trump as a debate moderator reminds us of the craziness and stupidity of the GOP.

There is not way “The Donald” can moderate the debate. He has not released his birth certificate.

Trump is one of the most thin skinned human beings ever. I wish someone would punch his lights out.

The people who don’t mind Trump as a GOP debate moderator are the same idiots who didn’t mind Cain’s book tour as a GOP presidential campaign.

Tina, Pablo, Michelle etc..
Clowns need children to entertain and there is no shortage of them in bat-shit-crazy teabaggerland.

“I will be interested somewhat as to how this will go”
So I will be too, as will millions, maybe tens of million, of others -

because there are few things in life as mesmerizing as a train wreck, 
as a rocket failure, 
as two massive office buildings on fire & their suprastructure melting, 
as a kid on a skateboard miss-timing his leap and nailing himself against a concrete abutment right in the cojones at 20+ mph, 
as watching the young jackasses on Jackass stuff their Fruit-o-the-Looms with raw chicken parts then try to crawl hand-over-hand along a rope hanging not 6 inches above the jaws of the most aggressive and agile of entire starving wallow of aggressive & agile alligators.

In THAT kind of setting, the only thing Mittens can do to have any chance at all of ‘winning’ this Trumped-up debate is, just not going to it at all.

(Which does not mean Mittens will NOT go to it, nor even does it mean I WANT him not to to – he might go, and I for one would most certainly want him to.) 

Lookin’ For A Trump Bump

The debate is hosted by a globalist hump
Who goes by the name of Donald Trump
Newt and Mitt will be there
To adore the Donald’s hair
And hopefully get the idiot vote’s bump!

Yes, this world’s getting way too bizarre
Like  Monica moistening Clinton’s cigar.
Next thing you know
They’ll have a new show
Where the Candidates must Dance With A Star!

This debate should be fun for all to see
Watching Donald give the field the third degree
It’s the next inevitable step
In America’s ongoing schlepp
Toward establishing a true Idiotocracy!

Not that I care, but how much damage does Trump continue to inflict on the Republicant Party?

“Granted, it would be good news for Obama, but still.”

WTF?  Has Mediaite officially become the obnoxious guy at the dinner party who assumes everyone in the room is hardcore liberal?

lol…Trump’s feuds with 2 GOP candidates is very similar too his feuds with Rosie O’Donnell and Jerry Seinfeld.
And you teabaggers think this is someone appropriate to moderate a debate?

Of course you don’t.  If you were alone in a room with Frank Luntz you would come out very much against it.
However, in public teabaggers can never concede a single point no matter how crazy it is because their whole persona is defined by being right on the internet.

They should now call him Donald Chump.

It would be very much like Trump to ridicule the absentee candidates DURING his debate. He couldn’t resist taking the shot.
And the ones who kiss is ass this week will get fawned over.
And each question he asks will be sure to include his own positions so maybe he can WIN his own debate and jump back into the race like he threatened.

Yet teabaggers think it’s all a great idea!
I hope it happens.  You will deserve what you get.

Personally I don’t think the debate will happen.
I just can’t believe the Right has gone this far off the deep end.

But I wouldn’t mind being wrong.  :)

Of course you don.t see much difference, because you ‘baggers are  clueless f#cking fools, we all ready know this.

Where are Donald Dump’s tax returns?  He promised to release them when President Obama released his birth certificate.  Liar and blowhard.  He’s nothing more than a reality TV host and birther.  And he’s hosting a GOPbagger debate.  Tells you all you need to know about the GOPbaggers.

I have to agree with you. If Romney were wise, he’d bow out leaving Gingrinch to flap in the wind…

REPOSTED ABOVE AS REPLY TO B_F_D.

This is an accurate description of what is likely to happen. Seriously, how can these people really believes this is appropriate? No sane person wants a clown to moderate a debate, especially not an egomanical clown.     

i know! as a FORMER Trump fan (i liked his first book) he is such a BABY.

It’s unbelievable…. so sick of him

When Republicans fight, liberals win.

Someday you will, Skippy.

You just know its taking every single fiber of his being not to shoot back one of his trade mark-stonepark responses. He’s probably shaking in front of his keeyboard sweating.

Either way I like this new persona-he’s like Gloves now-he comments and leaves and who could ask for more than that?

;-)  

Skippy. I see what you did there. 

They will go. They are after all the party of this…
http://imageshack.us/f/40/kos26.jpg/

Mitt will go, and he will be treated most favorably. In fact, the media will declare him the winner the next day unless Newt pulls some brilliance out of his ass. Romney is the establishment candidate…Herman Cain had a good point about there being 3 audiences: The Media Elite, the Political Elite, and the PEOPLE. Which one do you think will win out?

You are the weakest link. Goodbye! If only someone would say those words to Santorum/Perry/Huntsman so we could have a real race.

Using the word “clown” to describe Donald Trump is an insult to people who make their livings as clowns. He is a reality TV star and a Globalist puppet. Seriously though, he was the guy Comedy Central roasted before Charlie Sheen! The Situation and Whitney Cummings outed themselves as a retard and a whore, respectively all for a slice of his cash. Ron Paul 2012: Nobody’s Puppet.

It’s like Bozo calling Ronald McDonald a clown. 

I belive it to be sad that some are.

Just let Trump keep ruunig his mouth. This can only help Obama.

False. It shifts the national conversation to to the right. Obama has been drowned out in the last few months.

The most conservative (Huntsman) already said he wasn’t going and hopefully the only other of them running that I would vote for (Romney) won’t go either. 

It would be great if Newt, Trump and perhaps Bachmann makes it a 3 ring circus all on their own.

He was and is right about the wars in Iraq and Afganistan as well . They are the cause of our deficit (National debt)

They sould just let Trumps hair be the moderator! I believe it has a life of its own.

But if the baggers go away who will be the voice of the clueless?

Start voting each other off… The island? Survivor?  Ok, I agrree with that. aThis is like a reality game show.

I think Bachmann will show up for Trump. 

 I hope nobody else drops out. I love a circus.

“Failed Huffington Post wannabes” is an apt description of Mediaite.

As broken as our system might be, I don’t think it’s the right path to go down. While I herald Mr. Trump’s contribution as a businessman, and his influence on the early goings of the race, I don’t think his contribution at this point provides a positive representation of the system as a whole.  I don’t believe it is a precedent we want to embrace.  Mr. Trump still comments on the possibility of his own Independent run, he had his opportunity to gain the nomination himself, and he comes with celebrity and baggage which compromises the validity of the forum.

It is up to voting Americans to prove to the candidates for our highest office that we DEMAND higher standards from them and this process. Please sign this online petition to show the candidates we are serious about our country, our issues, and them — and hope they would show us the same respect.

IF Conservatives were to criticize each other, your party would be stronger (and better for the nation as a whole). Gone would be the crazies you are currently plagued with. It is precisely because you follow Reagan’s 11th Commandment that you have these problems.

You “herald” Donald Trump for making the presidential race about Birtherism and other forms of racism?

Josh Feldman,

Note how eager Newt Gingrich sounded to participate in the debateyesterday. He compared Trump to Bill Gates, and boasted he would proudly go to a debate sponsored by either man.

That part confuses me. “He” who compared trump to gates and “would proudly go” ?   I would assume you mean Newt, but the way it reads as if you are saying Paul? if so then this writing makes no sense.. it’s not clearly written.

Paul also surmised that Donald Trump “does not like to be challenged” on the issues. Well, that is just absurd. Trump is not thin-skinned, and he proved as much by responding thusly to Paul’s critique.

Well that is just absurd….

^^^^^ may I assume you were being facetious here? 

Sorry your writing just isn’t clearly stated for me.

now would this damn site please move our individual chat boxes to the top of the page so I dont’ have to scroll all the way down to find the damn box to post a comment? errrrr :(

RON PAUL 2012!

Clear. Consistent. Honest.

He’s the clear choice for this election.

Might as well have Snookie as a moderator.

More like the freaks in the side show.

Sideshow Blues

My landlady treats me like I don’t pay my rent.
Gave my car to my mechanic, I ain’t seen it since.
My phone is always ringing, when I want to be alone.
They try and sell me everything from Heaven to cologne.
Everybody’s got an offer I can’t refuse.
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.

It’s all a big commercial; It’s a video of a man.
It’s a plot to put an end to my attention span.
They make up all these issues, I never understood.
If I thought I could change things I’d run out to Hollywood.
But it’s hard to kick the door down wearing seven dollar shoes.
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.
I’ve got them sideshow blues.
I want to tame the lions.
These center ring rich kids ain’t even trying.
From college to the big top they take the best positions.
While I’m out in this tent with these freaks and musicians.
While I’m out in this tent with these freaks and musicians.
I’m moaning them sideshow blues.
I try to tell my girlfriend she’s the only one that I’ve got.
This chick I hardly knows keeps on telling her she’s not.
She got a loaded pistol, she waves it all the time.
Says some times you gotta kill a boy to keep his ass in line.
Well that’s the way she sees it, she says she saw it on the news.
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.

See people play satanic records, and you don’t know when they’ll freak.
From quiet kid to maniac to movie of the week.
We’re killing over cocaine, dying over sex.
We’re bowing down and praying to who’ll ever cuts the check.
When I go to church on Sunday, I can’t help sleep in the pews (that’s what I do).
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.
It’s a circus out here mama, Your baby’s got the sideshow blues.
It’s a circus people…Step Right Up!

Todd Snider

If it’s him, 1angry1 sounds like him and more nasty,

Why insult Snoop Dogg?

It would be great if Ron Paul and the Libertarians could just take over the Republican Party. The mass of the Party seems hopeless now. They will not listen to dissenting opinions.

If Libertarians were to capture the party, they would not take us immediately to a Libertarian America. It would be pointed out to them in the Halls of Congress that Libertarianism remains a hypothesis. As beautiful and natural as its operations seem, it has not been tested. Only early America, with its slaves and a continent to add top our empire, serves as a test case. This is a radically different world now than then.

If the Libertarians really have faith that their hypothesis is valid, then they should have no fear of conducting an experiment to verify this. Southern New Hampshire. Eastern Iowa. A few areas picked. Local communities willing to join recruited. Various places around the nation. It would have to be well-planned. Rich and poor; urban and rural: a broad selection of modern American society would need to be covered. Special national laws covering potential problems like the atypical migration of business and rich people into the zones in the early stages of such an experiment would be needed.

It is a big challenge, but trying to do this with the whole country as the first stage is just not remotely responsible. They will get this, enough of them to work with, anyway. I have confidence in this.

When the experiment has been running for a while, we will see what worked and to what degree. We will all learn something; some more than others ;-) We will then negotiate any broader changes to apply to the rest of society.

If Liberals and Libertarians could morph their typical dialogue into this, then we could begin cooperating right away. I am sure my ideas will hold swath, and you yours. Let’s agree to support the strongest ideas whatever the outcome.

Actually, I’d just like to double-check something. In his article, Josh Feldman repeatedly refers to Donald Trump as “sponsoring” the debate. However, I have read elsewhere that Mr. Trump will only be the moderator, not the sponsor. Which is it? Is Trump the moderator, the sponsor, or is he doing actually doing both?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Gingrich!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcV4EaSElfw&feature=youtu.be

The debate is sponsored by Newsmax, a news organization that leans right.  Trump is the moderator.

Is Newt the dog faced boy?

all the left leaning news organizations are broke

well, the other moderators weren’t pathologically-lying, birther kindred spirits of the insane Orly Taters, for one thing.

I would not be surprised to learn that Trump paid somebody to let him be the moderator.

Oh Trump, honey.  Even you can stretch the imagination enough to call a consistent man with real ideas a “clown-like” candidate, that still leaves you as an actual clown.  We’re never going to take you seriously, Trump.  We just feel sorry for you.

That was a nice play on Paul’s part, coming up with such a legit-sounding reason not to attend the reality tv show charade of a debate!

The next Celebrity Apprentice will have Teresa Guidice, the table flipper from Real Housewives of NJ, Clay Aiken, runner up on American Idol yrs back, Debbie Gibson, 80′s teen songster,  50 something x model Cheryl Tiegs, Marco Andretti, and Victoria Gotti, daughter of notorious John Gotti.  Those are the leaked names so far.

Oh, and Donald Trump will be pandering and parading as a serious journalist for an upcoming clown-fest of several teabaggers people who want to be the GOP candidate for the president of the most powerful nation in the world.

So…  which one of these televised events will be the most bizarre and entertaining? 

I hear Teresa and Victoria get in to a huge bitchfest fight too.

ben(in)sanity, you are paranoid. Trump will set the tone, not the media. I don’t think Trump likes Romney, and I’m sure Trump will show that. If Trump favors anybody, it will probably be Bachmann.

Yeah. But the real joke is on the ones that do show up!

TRUMP:  ” Some magazines have said I am the single most important endorsement a
presidential candidate can have. I don’t know if that’s true but it
wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t say that to brag, I just tell it like it
is.”lmfao

In order to figure out which is more accurate, the possibly good comment by WRWE or your certainly better joke in reply, I went to wikipedia to determine which, between Donald Trump and Snoop Dogg, has risen from the greater depth to the greater height, done the more public spirited things including charitable works, and has had overall a better effect on society.

As to roots, Snoop takes a huge lead: he’s a black American, descended of kidnapped and brutalized slaves, a street kid of the hard urban mean streets, less a gangsta than real gangster in his youth, a Crip until he got out of jail for his last coke beef (which looks like possession for sale, a lowest-level street crime), and finally hooked up with Dr. Dre, his mentor. Trump, in contrast, is one of those born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-his-mouth white dudes, his dad a big real estate tycoon, dad’s money and connections got Donald his first job – with dad – and his key education at Wharton, and his second job – inheriting dad’s business, where he’s been ever since. It’s not even clear that Trump has actually grown the net value of his dad’s company, but it is clear that Trump has certainly showered himself way more ostentatiously than his dad Fred ever did.

On the own family front, Snoop’s either completely or mostly a solid one-woman guy:  he married his h.s. girl friend, then they divorced a few later, then they renewed their vows. Also, Snoop swore off and gave up coke and pot for her, so that’s love, man. Donald we all know about: glitzy alley cat, marries good looking but haughty middle European fashion runway types, vacuous women, which he treats much like accessories; done it 3 times so far. Snoop wins Round 2 easily.

This is AMERICA man, so we gotsta deal wid net worth. According to this
 http://www.therichest.org/tag/snoop-dogg-net-worth/
Snoop’s NW as of April 30, 2011 was $150M.

Now the story of Trump’s worth is, uh, a lot murkier. He CLAIMS – he BRAGS at being a billionaire. Maybe; who knows; it’s all tied up in levered property, not identifiable net worth. Lawrence O’Donnell calls Trump for bull shit and says he worth at most a low single digit in the hundreds of millions. Okay then, even by O’Donnell trash talk, Donald wins this one – but it’s still not even clear he’s got more now than he inherited from dad, whereas Snoop made it all, no help from dad or anyone but the talent Dr. Dre spotted.

Bonus: Trump sued a gun named Tim Obrien in 2009 for defamation, the alleged slander being that Trump wasn’t even worth $250 Million. Trump LOST that lawsuit.

Snoop gets arrested, a lot; mind you, he’s a black gangsta rapper, so I’m not sure that’s much of a career buster. Donald has had his legal problems too, but being a white connected property tycoon, he’s been able to buy himself free from legal difficulties including fraud charges a number of times. It appears Trump was essentially bankrupt to the tune of almost a billion at one point in the 1990s (Wikipedia puts his debt then as $900 Million personal and $3.5 Billion business – which some might call minus $4.4 Billion net worth.). Trump has had big problems with the SEC, until the younger Bush took over and had all its teeth removed.  
In terms of works of art, there’s no comparison: Trump over the years has been something of a builder and otherwise quite a bit of a landlord, in the sense of heading up a property management company, of condos, apartment buildings, office buildings, a least one casino and a least one golf course, but it’s all pretty cheap looking and classless. Snoop on the other hand gave us:Doggystyle Tha Doggfather No Limit Top DoggRhythm & Gangsta: The MasterpieceEgo TrippinMalice n Wonderland andDoggumentary

And Snoops been in at least 45 movies, playing mostly himself – getting PAID to play himself. It’s not even a contest: Snoop by a galaxy.

In fairness, Snoop was a celebrity trasher at this year’s Trump Roast. I don’t know what that means in terms of art, but in terms of trash, it’s pretty interesting in that Trump apparently guaranteed the production costs of his own celebrity roast. That says something.

I left out charity, because it’s too hard to track down all the bullshit claims by Trump. To me, it again looks like no contest, as Snoop walks the walk and talks the talk, but I’m calling it a tie – okay who cares, call it for Trump if you want, Snoop is already so far ahead on points Trump would have to become Ghandi and Mother Theresa combined just to be counted as ‘in the contest.

Ron Paul has integrity. Nice.

Trump is a political loser and anyone who would follow or support him for the presidency should probably take a political science class. Unfortunately Congress and the Senate are filled with many more similar to him, with very few exceptions.
Good for Ron Paul and Jon  Huntsman for staying away from the event and I hope the ones who participate show what a joke they really are including the two-timing CFR member and 33rd degree mason Chameleon Gingrich!

Not for long..

Newsmax is ultra right neocon.. They don’t like non intervention and go with the “Islamists hate us cuz we’re free” storyline.. 

Second that!

He gets a lot of things right. You just aren’t paying enough attention.

Trump calls Ron Paul “Clown-Like”??

At least Ron Paul isn’t the one with the expensive clown hair.

GOP please tell Trump he’s fired.

I think he said he’s “waiting until they all vote each other off the island”.

However you may or may not feel about Obama, he is smart enough to not weigh into a bickering bunch of petty morons that are going to burn themselves out long before even the first presidential debate.

NO NO NO NO!!! It’s all the biased “liberal media’s” fault! The GOP wouldn’t ever possibly do something this stupid lol!

LOL Trump calling someone else a clown.  Trump’s entire image and celebrity is based on being an arrogant buffoon.  Good for Ron Paul for having some self respect and not participating in what will be a total joke of a debate.

Chameleon Gingrich – more accurate, but not as slimy as Newt!

Trump had a great opportunity to be “the bigger guy” in this but he chose not too. 

“Few people take Ron Paul seriously and many of his views and presentation make him a clown-like candidate…

Kind of sad when you have to act like a teenager….just another reason why people are sick of politics in our country

Few people take Donald Trump seriously…and Trump is the clown…what a joke.

UPDATE: A senior Paul campaign source emails to push back, and hard: “We
agree, of course, with former Speaker Gingrich — this is a country of
people of enormous talent. Those who deliver thousands of babies like
Dr. Paul and those who spend their time focusing on promoting themselves
for profit. We even have those who lobby, but don’t call it such
because, as they say, they can make $60,000 per speech. While those of
us in the Paul camp might disagree with Newt Gingrich about whether
Donald Trump is the right man to host a serious political debate, we do
agree New York is a wonderful place to go at Christmas. We are sure two
average Americans like Speaker Gingrich and Donald Trump will have a
wonderful time picking out gifts for their wives. We suggest a place
called Tiffany’s, we her it is quite nice this time of year and given
their celebrity status they can probably get special deals and $500,000
lines of credit.”

Oh right, Snoop is a real model of morality, intellect and achievement. He actually came from a pretty well off background so becoming a thug lowlife was a conscious decision on his part. Spare me you white guilt whitewash of a lowlife who should be in prison for multiple violent felonies. Snoop is the perpetrator, not a victim.

Trump, Cain, Bachmann, Palin, one clown after another. RP is a one note man, but at least he is consistent and has a dignified bearing. Though I had to laugh where he said that the free market, backed up by contract law, was enough to take care of pollution and workplace safety issues.

You forgot sarainitaly lol. FYI Pablo is Herman Cain. No one else can love him that much.

Im sure Newt will show up and Trump will ask beautiful questions that make Newt look like a perfect candidate. Too bad reality is a little more grey and cold than Trump leads the couch potato generation to believe. He will then endorse Newt and make a bigger joke of the GOP. If this is a serious issue like Trump tries to say, he should step aside in all matters politics just like Cain has.
