Response to Political Emails
So I got a couple responses to what I sent out, and while I won’t post what was said, the response’s were stating that abortion is really the only issue that matters. While it is a HUGE issue for me as well, I dont feel like either candidate is going to make big changes to the current policy. So that being said, I have to look at other issues that are important to me, and there,...
Political Emails
So today I got a politcal forward that was extremely biased towards McCain and completely slandered Obama. It made me so upset! Not that the person who forwarded the email had those opinions, because I respect everyone’s rights to the values they feel are important, but that it was o horribly incorrect! Why do people even start these emails that are so far from the truth and...
P.P.P.S.
Tom Brokaw is Grrreattt. Script blocking is always funny. Awkward camera shots is soooo true, Katie Couric.
P.P.S.
Ok, so that last question did catch my attention. Way to pull it out in the last moment debate. Well played.
And Obama gave a nice answer to that, so kudos.
And McCain ….well……he blinks a lot.
And so it goes.
P.S.
Don’t you like how Michael Phelps is wearing a patriotic swimsuit - how appropriate.
Fun times
Well this has been a fun time posting tonight and what great pics I have found, haha. In fact I am closing my blog before the debates are even over because I am sure thee will be nothing more interesting said. I am not sure of everything they said, but I know that nothing really caught my attention and nothing changed my vote. Duh.
3 debates down, 1 to go. Let’s hope they end with a...
Tina so lucky!
So when I was talking to Katie I got a call from a “Private Number”. Of course I didnt answer cause that can mean anything. Well apparently what it meant was Tina was calling from Wayne’s phone.
But I am bummed I missed it because apparently she went to a party tonight and saw……Michael Phelps!!! I am so jealous - that kid is great. On my birthday 4 years ago (pre...
Boxers or Briefs?
It’s time to be brief. Let’s see how that works out :)
Uncomplete quotes
Is it super obvious I am not as into tonight’s debate as ones in the past? I cant even listen to the whole quote? Oh well, it is what it is.
Man, how old are these guys. McCain looks so old, but yet whines about being able to respond. “Well if he gets to, I wanna…”
I thought it was Ronald Reagan
McCain just said that his hero is Teddy Roosevelt. I thought it was Ronald Reagan. Is he allowed to have two? I dont know what the rules are on how many heros you can have. “..but talk softly, but carry a big stick.”
“…blah…blah…Pakistan….blah…blah…”
– Barack Obama (I just like how he says it)
You hitting on my man?
So Andrew tells me that the guys think the chica who served them at the mexican restaurant they went to tonight was hitting on him. He didnt seem to think so, but I can believe it. He is a cutie….but he’s mine lady, so back off.
Plus, he was wearing his Dr. Pepper shirt. Thats hot.
Who was he pointing to?
Man, McCain just ended that “speech” with a sauve microphone hand shift and a point out to the audience. What a showman, haha.
I like Obama’s tie. That’s all.
“…my friends….”
– John MCCain as pointed out by Andrew and apparently a lot of others online
Why not talk about prostate exams?
Obama listed mammograms and pregnancy costs, but you think he is too uncomfortable talking about men’s needs? Is he addressing women in this debate? I am interested….
Oh fundamental….my favorite debate word! Cause you all know I HATE Maverick.
So what is this tax credit for? I love that MCCain just gave Arizona a good shout out, but dogged the health care in TN, which is...
26 years
He has been in there for 26 years and now he is wanting to make a change? What took so long? Silly man. Interesting to say the least.
I like how he makes a gap between him and Bush while trying to “bridge the gap” on energy indepence. Even though he wants to drill offshore just like Bush.
Tell Flo I said Hello
Ok, so Katie had to go cause the French guy showed up. Thats a good enough reason so I’ll let it pass.
So….back to the debates? I have lost interest….this is more fun with Andrew. But I’;ll write if I find something to say.
Ok, I already have. That was funny the way McCain just was like “Senator Obama said…mumble…mumble….or something like...
the difference between the men
Obama is out in front of his chair, strong and confident and McCain is standing behind his chair, holding on as if he needs some support, a little less assured. Easy comparison and really is the epitome of what the convey.
Distraction....
Katie called so I am not doing a great job of paying attention to the debate. But thats ok, I am finding some good images to share, so thats good.
I think they are talking about how they would prioritize certain things.
Ok Tom Brokaw needs to get off the time issue. Who cares - no one cares if they get to all the questions - its all about how they say it, not what they are saying. Cause they...
Presidential Debate Drinking Game →
Andrew and his peeps in Ohio are planning on doing this while the debate is going on. By my count if they are following this they should already be toasted :)
hmmmm, buffets
Who doesnt like a good buffet? Oooo. Tom just laid the smack down. Keep on time boys! The VP’s could follow the rules. I guess you are just a couple of MAVERICKS!!!! McCain no longer has the corner on that.
So, let’s talk bailout.
Man, John McCain is WHITE. I guess he isnt outside much with this campaigning, but goodness, pale much?
I like when he calls Obama’s...
ebay layoffs →
Bummer dudes.
But he can be funny :)
Good joke John. I identify with Tom Brokaw - I like his voice after all. Warren Buffet? Just have him give all his money to us, that would help.
Ebay - bad example. Maybe he doesnt know they just laid off people today…oops!
The way he moves his arm reminds me of...
…Chris Farley. “..in a van down by the river!” Funny.
Ah, energy independence on the first question? You are better than that John. Thats the old standby. You could have had a better speech planned.
I find that bit about AIG interesting….jerks. Make them pay it back.
Seriously, Chris Farley people.
Town Hall
I wish they would actually have the debate in an actual town hall. That would be more authentic.
I like Tom Brokaw - he has such a nice voice. Since he gave me permission to be unrestrained I am hooting and hollering it up in here. Ok, so I am not. But no one would know for sure.
The world is a worse place than last debate. But at least gas is cheaper. I got gas tonight for 3.29 - what a...
Here is comes....
Get ready for another night of blogging the debate…good times ahead. Plus I am super bored since Andrew isnt here, so this could be entertaining at least :) Here’s hoping for some fun stuff to write about!
My Blackberry :) →
So I just got a new phone and I already have Andrew throwing back at me all the things I always whine to him about with his Blackberry. :) Sweet, payback’s a bitch, haha, JK. But I am having fun playing with it for sure!
“Perhaps the headline of the night was that Governor Sarah Palin did not embarass...”
– Katie Couric
We're ready!!!
So yeah, this closes tonights festivities - i dont blog the spins. But it was definitely a good show. Couric has a good wrap up. Maybe she is funny after all. Anyways, good night, and remember to VOTE!!!
Bi-partisinship
Biden has respect. He doesnt question other’s motives, just their judgement. Probably a good quality to have in life anyways.
Palin has friends :) But then again there are only so many people in Alaska so its not hard to know everyone there, haha. JK.
I love that they just met tonight - maybe cause she has been so closed off. And she is happy to answer these hard questions and talk to...
Finally!!!
Someone is addressing this stupid maverick thing!
GO BIDEN!!!!
Do they get paid per "maverick"?
Just curious :)
Alaska is a huge state!
How does living in Alaska help her tap into the heartland of America? Because she is from the middle class? She didnt have insurance at one point, so that qualifies her to be VP. Excellent.
DC is a shining city on a hill. Go Reagan! Haha, why does everyone like him so much? Oh yeah, they are republicans.
Excessive passion is a good thing Biden! Records of change are good things! Go Dems!
Change
Nice emphasis on “change”. Cause your side owned it first, Biden. Haha.
My pizza is on its way, yum :)
Why doesnt she ever talk about her experience as a reporter? I wanna hear her say that. I mean, it gave her some speaking skills, right? Thats important.
I think it was Fred Thompson that I was thinking about. I think. But let’s say that for now cause I dont want it to...
Maverick
And here is what dictionary.com lists as the number 1 definition:

“Say it ain’t so, Joe.”
– Sarah Palin
What's the capital of Alaska?
Wasilla? Ha, Palin sure seems to think so. I wonder where the Governor’s Mansion is located. Maybe she had it relocated to her beloved Wasilla.
Now is the portion of the program where they both refer to their roots. “Walk with me in my neighborhood” - Biden
Drewby is home!!!!
Yeah, distracted for a second, but back again :)
Is it possible to take the politics away from the war issues?
Ok, so this question is kinda morbid, Gwen. I think it is asked more for Palin than for Biden, but I guess anything is possible.
A team of mavericks…..I gotta look up this definition again. Drew just pointed out that she winked…..she is such a flirt.
The Interventionist
I am getting to know Biden a bit better. I like that. And I do like him. Phew :)
Anyone who goes to bat for countries in hard times is good in my book. I would like to compare their passports. I bet his is FULL and she has what, like one stamp in it?
Man, the vote for the war was a LONG time ago and a lot has happened since then. A lot of Americans supported the war before it went on like...
Timing is so important
They are such good little kids. Following the rules, politely asking if they can do something, and not going over their time. Good job boy and girl.
I wonder what their note pads look like at the end of the night. Mine would be full of doodles. But then I would NEVER be up there.
Biden is good at putting things in perspective, because Palin seems to keep saying a lot of incorrect things. I...
They are covering a LOT of territory
And onto nuclear weaponry.
I hate when we get into this debate because I want to know why we are the responsible country in order to use OUR nucelear weaponry as a deterrent. Why are we so much better than anyone else.
Gwen really is letting her do whatever she wants. I think Gwen has a little crush :) She is charismatic.
But Biden is commanding…..and always has a good answer. He...
She is trying so hard to be likeable :)
And she is doing a good job at it. But honestly, its getting annoying. She has to have a little commonality for every qustion. A little dig, but doing it in such a “nice” way.
I do admire how passionate about Biden is about world issues.
I really want to know what the Maverick stuff is.
I also want to hear how McCain is going to be different than GW Bush. Good point Biden. ...
Ok, we get it, you can pronounce his name...
…but now you are just trying to look smart by saying “naivete”
Sorry, had to take a break to order pizza. Drewby is home soon!!!
Fun - damental
I should start using that word more. Then maybe I can be a politician.
Palin is pretty matter of fact and “real” but she is just so gosh darn fun to make fun of :)
Is Biden wearing bronzer? It doesnt look natural.
I like how she is “talking” to him, but looking at the camera.
But back to the makeup. Her’s is flawless. She IS pretty, I suppose. However, she is...
Exit strategy
That phrase always seems a little humourous to me. Because then lines like, withdrawl, and early withdrawl follow and then my mind just goes south. But it IS funny.
Early withdrawl and terrorism in the same sentence. “It would be a travesty if we quit now in Iraq” - Palin
“I cant quit you” - Brokeback Mountain.
Haha, sorry, I dont really understand how my mind works...
