[quote who="Jythier" reply="21" id="3253039"]Well, you too. But yes.[/quote] Well I didn't think you were talking about me Jyth..haha. But ok. You think she's attractive. Different strokes :)
[quote who="Jythier" reply="19" id="3253026"]She IS pretty.[/quote] Who? Candy?
It's amazing to me how fast things change. From your generation to mine, the mail-in thing just kinda disappeared. Or maybe I was never aware of it? Anyway, great story as usual. You should assemble all these into a manuscript.
[quote who="Anthony R" reply="15" id="3252962"]Probably not, but it didn't stop me from doing it.[/quote] Yeah me too. I've grown so accustomed to pretty people filling journalist's roles, that when a real woman, age and all shows up...it's stunning, almost a taboo, and worthy of comment.
[quote who="Anthony R" reply="13" id="3252834"]Obama slithered out of the debate without answering the Libya question on security and Candy Crowley who looks like the love child of Dudley Moore and Fred Gwynn helped him. [/quote] When I was in broadcasting there was an pretty solid rule about "the window." If you weren't picked up nationally by about the age of 28-30 (tops) you were relegated to local reporting (which many people prefer anyway
[quote who="Daiwa" reply="12" id="3252462"]Monitored 3 live blogs of the debate rather than watch it & vomit. [/quote] I had it on tv but my laptop open to facebook and twitter. The twitter-verse has some seriously FUNNY quips....keeps me from getting too worked up over the debate. Yes, I agree Candy really helped BO out. She doesn't strike me as the type of female who wants to wait arou
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="8" id="3252251"]Crowley had a chance and she blew it. Her liberal bias trumped neutrality.[/quote] I don't think anyone was surprised....but you know I always hold out a little faith in the human race. [e digicons];P[/e]
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="5" id="3252204"]Obama wins the election, unless something radical happens, like he punches a baby or something.[/quote] I like an optimist! But I hope you're wrong. Four more years of this? Seriously, even if Romney can't do anything about the economy, just a change in command will garner more confidence. BO's face will forever be linked with debt and death.

[quote who="Jythier" reply="2" id="3252140"]Who the heck is Candy Crowley? Why can't the moderators just let the candidates debate? Obama could have said that he said it was a terrorist attack. He'd be lying, then, instead of the moderator. 3 minutes is a lot of time when you're talking, and that's how much extra time she gave Obama, as well. If you really believed in Obama's chances, you wouldn't need to cheat.[/quote] <span style="font-size: sm

Last night, I didn't hear anything unexpected between the two candidates. The news maker? Candy Crowley backing up the president during the debate, and then pulling a mea culpa after. But personally I wasn't shocked by that. I think Americans should expect it. She said before millions BO was right, Romney wrong. Then AFTER the debate said she erred. Oops. </p
[quote who="Jythier" reply="37" id="3250830"]Nobody ever polls my house. No landline! [/quote] I think Dems are more likely as a group to answer polls. [quote who="Jythier" reply="36" id="3250826"]I'm proud that in my country, the USA, there is no election fraud - people vote and then they count all the votes properly every time. It's a beautiful thing, living in a democracy.[/q
Polls. The reason I don't put stock in them.... We have caller ID. We don't answer the phone when pollsters call. In fact, we don't answer ANY political calls. How do we filter them out? If we don't recognize the #, we let the machine pick up. Why? <span style="font-si
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="33" id="3249419"]And to the shame of many (not all) of our Bishops, Biden has been allowed to get away with it.[/quote] I heard a bishop somewhere today scolded Biden's stance. I had no idea he was Catholic until that night. [quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="31" id="3249381"]So why doesn't Obama/Biden carry over this same policy with those on welfare?

[quote who="Jythier" reply="26" id="3249118"]I was unimpressed with Biden's reported (I didn't watch it) stance on abortion, that he agreed it was murder but didn't want to intrude on other's rights to murder, or something like that.[/quote] Lol...yup. He'll probably have to pay penance for that one! [quote who="Jythier" reply="29" id="3249345"]Someday, when I'm in a Veep debate, I'm gonna use that.[/quot
Oh, and the abortion question. Really? What a set up. Ryan shoulda said, "Our economy is in the crapper. Our citizens are being murdered by terrorists while the Commander and Chief plays with the rich and famous. And you want to talk about abortion? Really?"
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="25" id="3249073"]On the VP Debate: I rated it a toss up (it will not affect the race). But Biden lost points with independents by being the bully. At least he did not make any gaffs. But as usual, he was doing a campaign commercial not a debate. Ryan came with his A plan and looked very good.[/quote] I went to bed thinking 60/40. 60% of the debate going to Biden. But when I woke up, I realized all that
So I watched the VP debate last night. I think Paul Ryan did ok. Wish he would have been able to finish a thought without interruption. But, that's the nature of debates. Gotta fight sometimes to be heard. I think Biden presented the Dems worldview well. But all the smirking? It reminded me
An excerpt: Governor Romney has proposed a personal income tax reform that would lower marginal tax rates and broaden the tax base. Critics of the proposal have argued that high-income taxpayers would receive a tax cut, and given that the proposal is meant to be revenue neutral, this would inevitably lead to increased taxes for families with low and moderate incomes. Because the Romney proposal does not specify

How ridiculous...this whole class war thing. When did it become a bad thing to be wealthy in this country? I'm HAPPY when people become wealthy. I think it's a wonderful side effect of hard work. <span style="font-size: small
BO is back on the campaign trail...talking smack. What a backbiter. He took his lumps at the debate when it was face to face, man to man, now... NOW when there is no one to fight, or contradict, he gets brave, and mouthy. I realized today BO isn't just incompetent. He's a coward . He's afraid
