You are too much, Sedate. Definitely one of a kind. I think of you as a political junkie with Tourette’s.

Interesting. I don’t think I’ve even watched a Star Trek episode from beginning to end. After reading that, though, I could see how you could make the comparison.

Considering what a good guy his dad was, I’d consider getting Rambler. I always thought they were cute – 1959 – 1962 years

Congratulations! You were definitely committed to your record, and probably are better off for it.

Every time I watch Romney, I have the urge to buy a used car. More specifically, an AMC.

After watching the debate, a few things became obvious.

1) Romney was intent on “me too-ing” Obama too death and that pissed him off. After all the posturing over the last 2 years, when it actually comes down to it, he admits he would do very little differently. That’s probably true. Romney is now famous for boldly saying exactly what his audience wants to hear. So (outside of Obama overruling his advisers on killing Osama) Romney would have followed the same advice given to Obama.

2) Aside from getting into (or out of) specific wars, most Presidents wind up having almost exactly the same foreign policies in the end, irregardless of what they say before getting elected. American foreign policy has very little to do with what Americans think.

3) Anyone hoping to get elected must stuff as much Israeli cock in their mouth as they can. For some reason, the fate of this small pile of useless rocks is far more important than any country other than America itself.

4) Europe? Wat Dat? Afroqua? Africk-a…South Amerdakota? Japan? What huh?

5) Mexico? Canada? Nope. Those are covered under “domestic policy”.

And above all…

6) There’s really not much point in having a Foreign Policy debate. Damn near every President has damn near the exact same foreign policy. Besides, (without looking it up on the Inter-tubes) the average American probably couldn’t name more than 7 countries anyway, never mind find them on a map. Nor could they give less of a flying fuck about any of them, unless they have oil, or Jesus was born there.

Even though the guy occasionally laughs and tells the odd joke, I’ve always thought “Vulcan” was the single best word to describe Obama.

More specifically, this one.

Hey … I had a perfect record and didn’t watch any of the debates … and I’m one who has a history of watching them! …. Nonetheless, you have captured what I need to know.

Hey, that’s 10 minutes longer than most.

I’ve heard that people get that impression of Obama…snobbish. I think he’s the type who is “formal” then warms up. Provided he likes you.

Alcohol. That’s what got me through it.

See what I endure for the ones I love? Glad to be of service, though. A lot of people just won’t watch. And I don’t blame them.
