do debates matter

DO DEBATES MATTER
thats the question i was asking myself
we watched all 90 minutes plus of the debates
we watched the pre show and the post show

slate.com

i have a rule
i dont listen to pundits from either side
since i have a mute button on my remote
my
darwinian mute button

the reason we watch the debates
are
that we dont want to rely on someone elses opinion
on who won
what was discussed
was it fair
etc

ill decide that myself

now i realize that
the debate no matter what happened or what was said
was not going to change my mind on whom i was going to vote
nor
i doubt that many of you got your mind changed

now
looking at the debate
i think hillary won the debate
since
scattered across the new media and from politicians
who were trump supporters
agree with my assessment

did it matter
well it didnt change my mind
nor did it change most of everyone elses minds

it seems the ones that it could affect are
those millennials
yep yours and my kids and grandkids
may decide this election
scary huh

white women
see
i tell you they are always are under control those females
subtle like
if you are married and are a male
well you already know this

so
does it matter
these debates

i would say from what i hear and read
yes
it matters

the election may hinge on these next two debates

no i personally dont care if
he releases his tax returns
her emails i could care less about
i dont care about bills indiscretions since all know about them
i dont care about hearing childish words slug back and forth

i care about

how each treats other human beings

pensions which may break state and city government
guess who will be paying when that happens

healthcare
dont just say get rid of it
solution please
i for one am a big advocate of medicare for all
with a lot of tough decisions which our politicians cant seem to make

medicare

social security the big elephant in the room

immigration a fair policy please

taxes
sorry we have to have taxes
even fairminded billionaires recognize we have to tax people
just make it more fair
we cant cut taxes and keep spending

race relations

most of these werent even discussed

so thats what i want them to talk about
how to fix these issues

i want all the millennials to vote
its really thier future here we are talking about

they need to speak on their behalf

all those who say they are going to sit this one out
you cant do that
there is too much at stake

if you arent registered to vote
or if you dont vote
there is no excuse
you have no right to complain about anything

if you arent registered to vote
here is a link
walks you through how to
register to vote in every statte

WHAT HAPPENED



by now we have all heard about benghazi
before now i sure didnt know where it was
and probably didnt care
still dont care except that we lost an ambassador and three men
on the attack

why it happened or how it happened will be hashed out
im sure in the political arena over the next few weeks
of course when the election is over it will probably disappear
off  the radar

so what really happened
here is a good article with a timeline of what  transpired that
night and what has happened since

im sure 47% of you will think one way and 47% of you will
think another way and the rest of you will be undecided

my view
its a sad story
it shouldnt be repeated
it was on president obamas watch so yes you accept responsibility
thats the way it is

it could easily have been on someone elses watch
this stuff happens to all presidents
reagan-lebanon   carter-iran hostages   bush 2-9/11
clinton-twin towers and multiple attacks

should these be politicized
no

what really matters is what we are all worried about
economy jobs taxes medicare medicaid social security
womens issues wall street reform

it is sad this event will be forgotten mostly in 15 days


here is the link to the timeline of events that awful night
we should all read about it

DEBATES THOUGHTS

here at the country n we use to have these two roosters
(one was larry of larrys weekend
my wife shes nemesis)

they use to get along until the smallest one matured
guess his testosterone levels got high
and they began to fight on a regular basis

they would face each other
bring up their neck feathers
peck and circle each other
real macho guys
those cock fighters

thats what the last debate reminded me
was those two roosters fighting each other

so im glad this is the last debate
and that theyll be sitting down this time
bet theyll kick each other under the table
dont you

not sure how theyll talk on foreign policy for 90 minutes
know id like to hear more about the stuff that matters
to all of us as i mentioned above

ive decided next election im not going to watch the debates
live
im going to only watch them on snl saturday night live
theyre more fun to watch that way

POST DEBATE IMPRESSIONS
its always interesting to see what comes out of a debate

apparently there is a group of women called walmart moms
not sure who they are but they thought obama won

i conjure up visions of those pictures of women from
facebook and social media who are morbidly obese and have
those skin tight almost see through pants on
makes me queasy just thinking of the visual

apparently the walmart moms have replaced the target moms
and the soccer moms
guess because of the economy women cant afford to go to
target and cant send their kids to soccer so they can only
afford to go to walmart

hope im wrong on that visual

then mitt said according to something thats gone viral on social
media that he got a binder of women when he got to be governor
to the victor the spoils

i know thats not what he meant but its what he said
and social media loved it

i think that next time or next election they need a timer that
goes off at the 2 minute mark that is loud and annoying and then
a real annoying sound gets louder and louder the longer they talk
you know like on the radio when the announcer wont go to
commercial so they play music that gets louder and louder until
you cant hear them

also the moderator needs to have a handheld buzzer that if they
wont shut up she just pushes a button and a zapper on a
shock collar zaps them util they shut up
like the ones on dogs for barking or going outside a perimeter

bet on the first debate mitt would have just kept on going anyway
and obama wouldnt have ever been shocked
mitt had too much red bull and caffeine for that first debate

or what would be better would  be to put them in their suits
with real big old boxing gloves and head protectors inside
a large cage dropped over the stage
with no rules and just let them go over it
like a good ole tomcats fight
who ever is left standing wins the debate

seriously though
this debate was a good one
none of them will ever be perfect
the democrats think obama won
the republicans think mitt won
the general consensus across several news media sites is that
obama had a slight edge over romney

my impression of the debate is the same

now we have 3 weeks left
wish the debates were over now
and the election would be determined by what the campaigners
do over that time period

i sure am glad that i dont live in a swing state since
we dont have to deal with all those political commercials
since the outcome here in texas is pretty definite

i did run across this article this morning from the nytimes that
is about how the campaigns both of them are monitoring
us the voters on the internet
we thought it was just big brother and google and facebook

almost makes you want to give up googling facebooking twitting
and whatevering we all do

be sure and vote

GET ER DONE

its time tonight for the two presidential candidates
to get er done
this is it
its the super bowl night of the presidential election
whoever wins this debate tonight
if they do it decidedly like romney did the last one
will probably win the election since it
appears things are too close to call

actually this is exciting for presidential politics
it seems more and more people are interested in this
years election than in years past
which is good for our american political system

(wonder if the gridlock will continue no matter who wins)
(probably)

the last debate next week wont matter as much as this one does
the people get to ask these questions
the moderator is well respected and more than
likely wont let anyone take control like romney did last time
and will ask some good followup questions and
will hold the two candidates feet to the fire
to answer the question

you know how they do it
they get asked about health care and they answer the question
like it was about a foreign policy question
both sides do it

this debate is like a super bowl between a spread no huddle offensive
team with no defense against a running team which depends on
its defense to win games
(without of course all those interesting commercials)

the two candidates are from opposite spectrums
and their parties offer contrasting solutions to our problems

the debate wont sway me to change my mind or in fact
most americans who vote
remember if you dont vote you have no right to complain
about anything

lets get er done get this game going tonight

the super bowl of the political season is a game to watch

MONEY

it is obscene the way the money is flowing into these super pacs
which is having an influence on the presidential election and other
races
there is no control over how much is donated and in some cases
who donated and how much is not available
thank you supreme court for screwing all of us

this is the first billion dollar election
thats how much money is being spent this time
shoot thats enough to buy the dallas cowboys franchise

it is scary that some outside source lets say china or some
rich person could pour millions and millions of dollars into the
election and determine who gets elected

heck china already owns wall street
could they own the presidency too

you know that money is not given without strings attached

at least in the past we knew who the big money donors were
and could tell where the influence was

this is probably one of the biggest threats to our election
process ever ever

and it apparently cant be changed without a constitutional
amendment

a new twist to the old saying that money does the talking

we probably should be more upset over the super pacs
influence on this election than anything else thats happening

howdy yall, follow up debate

HOWDY YALL

howdy yall in texas may be going away
or is being diluted down some
especially in cities like dallas austin houston
and san antonio

there is a influx of folks from all over the country
and all over the world
all those different dialects ie yankee and those
foreign languages have changed the texas twang

if you go into austin you generally dont hear
any how yah doin or howdy yall

however
i live in a rural county whose county seat is about
5000 people
you go into the local feed store
youll hear
howdy  how yah doin
or the local grocery store
and
what i really like is to go to get my car license or
go to get my drivers license at the state or county
offices and those people
are texas twang friendly
(you know how unfriendly those places are in the
larger cities-pick a number fill that form right
now go back to the end of the line)

yep texas twang
hope that doesnt go away around where i live

yall come back now yah heah

FOLLOW UP DEBATE
romneys goal look aggressive
obamas goal dont screw up
both accomplished their goals
would say romney won the debate

although he looked like an add kid without his meds
or looked like he had too much starbucks yesterday
like the kid in class that has all the answers and interrupts
the teacher and the other kids so he could answer the
questions

obama was too passive
dont know if that was his strategy or not

usually the debates dont affect the election much unless there
is a major screw up

maybe the undecideds can now decide

kim komando posted from usa todays match your views
to the candidate called the candidate match game

i took the 14 question test and matched the candidate ill vote
for at 87%

you can go to usa todays site to take the quiz

the debates

THE DEBATES

tonights the first of three presidential debates
wished we would have had some sooner
hope its not a joke like the republican debates
this year in the primary and the democratic debates
in the last elections primaries

think it may be more focused as romney hopes
to use this as an opportunity to gain some on
obama
obama needs just to not screw up and to do well this time

like
nixon did by not shaving
like al gore did by sighing too much
like reagan did to his opponent mondale by saying he would
not hold his age against him
like bentsen did to dan quayle when he said youre no jack kennedy

dont remember anything from last elections debates
i presume obama won those against mccain

i already know whom i will  vote for in this election so the
debates are not going to change my mine any

seems funny that there are people out there who are
undecided
how can you be undecided this election as the
difference between the two candidates and the
two parties are so different

but i guess they are out there those undecideds
guess this is what these debates are all about

all obama has to do is be calm and not make a mistake
if romney screws up in any way like if he  makes one of us
unfunny jokes or bets obama money that romney will
win then
the press and news folks will have a hay day with it

yep
romney needs to get in one of his zingers and obama
needs to just remain laid back and calm

well see
wish i could go ahead and vote and get it over with
although i sure enjoy going to the voting booth
on election day and just experience the whole voting thing
it is a right we have
i just want to savor it

lets dont take this away from anyone no matter what party
they vote for
we tried to do that in the past and it was a smear and is a scar
on our history

be sure and vote
