I Couldn't Watch Debates

Posted by itisntluck 12 years, 1 month ago to Politics

It was like watching a second rate high school football team playing the NFL. It was embarrassing to watch a total dressing down of a standing president. I had to turn it off.

Good morning itisntluck,

I thoroughly enjoyed the debate. I watched it from beginning to end. Yes, it was a bit uncomfortable watching our sitting president being dressed down, but after the last three and a half years of feeling constantly dressed down by our president for being a businessman I started to feel like what goes around comes around! Turn around is fair play! After years of corruption and malfeasance it is difficult to feel much sympathy…
Respectfully,
O.A.

  I hear what you are saying, but It was like watching some poor soul on America's Funniest Videos making an ass of himself. Just to see a fellow human humiliate himself like Barry was doing was more than I could stand. I almost......just almost, felt sorry for the ignorant ass.

I just now received a telephone message: --
"Mitt defeated . . . in the last debate, . . ." --

But it was the FIRST "debate."

  NO !! (response to later comment) -- "Mitt defeated X . . ." -- NOT, "Mitt [WAS] defeated . . ."

  Doesn't the DNC know that most people in the U.S. have televisions? Well, at least for now. If the current decline continues they'll be trying to figure out how to eat those TVs

    The DNC knows that half of Americans can't form their own opinions and are waiting to be told what to think.

      For sure. The real horror there is those that tell them what to think.....can't think rationally.

        Yes they do, but I take comfort in knowing that when they finally get what they want they'll run out of victims and will soon be literally eating each other.

I watched Mr. Romney, C-SPAN 1 : --
1 - Paper Sheets were taped exactly blocking, the television screen's "right" side.
2 - All sound was OFF, excepting Mr. Romney.
This system worked perfectly .

  BTW, you could have left Barry's sound on. He said nothing. <s>

  That's a great system......now if we can tune the bozo out next month I'll feel a wee bit better. I know Mormons. None of their faithful ever go on public welfare. The church puts them to work. If Romney can get a halfway decent majority in the congress we may be surprised. Alas, even if so, he'll only delay the inevitable.

    Some Mormons are on food stamps (lots of mouths to feed), and the free school lunch program seems to be okay-fine with plenty of them too.

      Note - I said..."None of their faithful..." in refering to Mormons.

        I'd bet a few bucks that if I asked them if they were faithful Mormons they'd say yes. I know Mormons too. I live in Mormonville! I've said Mormon way too many times in this... Is there a way to measure faithfulness besides asking, or are they automatically unfaithful if they take fed freebies?

        BTW, the "Jack Mormons" I've met readily admit they don't follow the "Words of Wisdom". re, they smoke, drink, gamble, etc.

        ....and that's why they're called Jack Mormons. Now, Peter Preacher and Molly Mormon would neeeeeeeveeeeer do such things.

        Because I know that they have no access to the above sins. (I know nothing actually.)

        Oh yes. To be considered one of the faithful, one must have paid full tithing and answered their "calling", re. if one is called to teach a class or head up a youth group, you would do it. The mormons I know are pretty cool I've found that the closer I get to their Temple in SLC, the less pious the Mormons are. Converts are a PITA, but I have found that to be so with all religeons.

        I'm pretty sure the ones I'm referring to: free lunchers/food stampers, are temple recommends...I wonder if they're risking excommunication for going outside the church for "help". I'll have to ask around. Actually the biggest Mormon shocker I've heard about is how the young mom's don't know how to cook for their families. Is cooking becoming a lost art these days? I find this amazing.

        What makes you sure those you refer to are temple recomends?
        
        When you are asking around I should hope you'll consider the motives of those you question.

        I'm in a tight knit community. I'm very close to some people in the church. Enlighten me, what motives might they have?

        The same as any human with a beef or an opinion formed beforehand without adequate evidence, or one who judges all by the actions of a few.

        We have a mutual understanding and discuss plenty. These are loooong time friends I'm talking about (the ones I would ask, not the ones I'm wondering about (regarding food stamps), and they (my friends and the food stampers) don't know each other. As far as I know I'm not being judged by them and if I am then big whoopity doo. I have questions and I'm going to ask them.
