VP debates
« on: October 05, 2016, 02:06:25 AM »
Is it too late for the R's to switch the ticket and put Pence on top?  He's the only one running that seems "presidential".  It'll be interesting to see how the fact checkers pick him apart.

I've heard a couple of comments that he was setting up for 2020 rather than 2016.

When they first walked out, I was impressed that they were color-coded with red and blue ties so we could tell them apart.  Then noticed that they had it backwards. :facepalm:  But once the debate started it was pretty easy to tell who was whom.

I've been listening to it on FOX on sat radio.
Kaine is a smarmy little prick. 
Only listened for about an hour. Out of 6-7 topics I think Pence got complete his say once without being interrupted.
Just once I'd like to hear a debater tell the interupter "I've got the floor, shut the *expletive deleted*ck up and wait your turn."

Well considering both Trump and Clinton are old enough that not waking up one morning wouldn't be particularly unexpected, he may just get that chance regardless.

That is all. *expletive deleted*ck you all, eat *expletive deleted*it, and die in a fire. I have considered writing here a long parting section dedicated to each poster, but I have decided, at length, against it. *expletive deleted*ck you all and Hail Satan.

You're too kind to Kaine. Not wrong, mind you, but too kind.

And the "moderator" chided Pence for not answering about Korea when he couldn't get a word in edgewise over Kaine's interruptions.

IMHO that should be the job of the moderator. But I understand that they're more interested in "good" entertainment than they are in good debating.

Having done a bit of actual debating in high school, I have to wonder why they even call these things "debates," when they don't ever attempt to follow a debate format.

Pence did a good job of working "Weak and feckless leadership" into his comments over and over to drive the point home, get an idea out there... if that sort of thing actually works.

I didn't bother with the debates. There really is no debate or question who to vote for between them if you are a liberty loving American.

The only debate in my mind is whether to vote for Trump/Pence or nobody. Is a potential Trump/Pence administration safe or trustworthy enough to be worthy of my assent via my vote?   

I've come to regret my votes for GW Bush and more locally, George Ryan and Mark Kirk.

In the past I was prone to party line voting thinking that would move the ball the right way. That was faulty reasoning and I ended up voting for incoherent wars, state corruption and a rino voting for the progressive agenda.

On a side note, from what I gather, Hillary chose pajama boy as her running mate and pajama boy is insufferable.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

The comment I heard this morning is that it looked like a debate between a Batman Movie Villain and the father of Johnny Quest.

I haven't decided which 3rd party (Libertarian, Constitution or Veteran's Party) candidate I going to give my vote, so I can vote against that anti-2A RINO Kirk.

Hate to say this, but I just might not vote this election.

Moving at the end of this week and may not have time to get registered in Kansas and actually nothing going on in Oklahoma that my one vote would change.

^^^I have been giving serious thought to not selecting anyone on the Presidential ballot, but voting as usual for the state and local races.

As governor of Virginia, Kaine used his prerogative to select himself to give the graduation speech at my son's college graduation.  All he did was talk about himself.  It made a big impression, albeit not a good one!
