Done. Wimped out.

Made it through an hour. Stomach is churning, and muscles are tired from clenching. This isn’t a debate, it’s a celebration of massive and unrelenting untruth.

Ye gods, watching Palin wasn't this painful.

9 idiots that the MSM treats as serious candidates, giving them lots of air time, all while black listing one of our own Dem candidates.

I'm betting on something like "These poltroons need a good ass-kicking. I'd best get started..."

Consider this TR quote, and just how different a person it suggests he was, compared to that gaggle of self-absorbed pinheads:

"Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance."

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”

I'll watch the wrapup on MSNBC -- it will be far less painful.

I'll catch the recaps in the morning news, but I doubt I'll be able to stomach much of that either.

I truly fear for our country if one of these nutcases gets in. Truly.

I have wussed out. I just can't stand any of them, and Ted Cruz's nasal whine is enough to cause nightmares.
