Romney will be the next president, and here's why...

How well or poorly one is phucked (be it person or country)

is evaluated and determined truly and solely by the one

being phucked. Voyeurs can only imagine or dream.

Regarding the VP debate...my 2cents..

I thought Biden gave more substantive responses, more specifics and I loved that he quickly stopped to fact-check claims made by Ryan. But he kinda shot himself in the foot with the excessive laughing and his overall body language. It was initially funny but it quickly became annoying and disrespectful, imo. It seems to have somewhat overshadowed his otherwise very strong performance and it made Ryan come across as mature and poised thus making it seem like more of a tie.

But most Democrats seem happy with him since he showed some fight and passion. So I guess Biden got the job done.

What's odd to me is Romney was displaying similar body language towards Obama and republicans cheered it. But if Biden does it's rude and disrespectful. Biden was holding back laughing at the serious lack of substance Ryan had. He ran circles around Ryan... and ultimately appeared more attractive.

Shot fired at Obama campaign field office in Denver



Police say someone fired a shot at an Obama campaign field office in Denver on Friday afternoon.

No one was injured, though people were inside the offices when the incident occurred, said Denver police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez.

"It looks like it was one shot that was fired into the structure," she said.
The incident happened at about 3 p.m. at the campaign's offices on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street, Lopez said.

Sam Levin, a reporter for the alternative newspaper Westword, later posted a photo on Twitter showing one of the office's large, front windows broken out. By early evening, the window shards had been removed and a glass company was putting plywood up.

Lopez said police have a description of a "possible vehicle of interest." She said she could not release that information while detectives are reviewing any available video footage of the incident and pursuing leads.

An Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment on the incident, instead referring a question to the police.

Similar, yes. But Romney was nowhere near as animated with the sneering and laughing as Biden was, imo, and it made for a bad visual, especially when you consider the obvious age difference-- it was like a old man picking on a polite kid. It was a distraction.

Don't get me wrong, although I'm not an American I side with the Democrats and I am overall happy with Biden's performance and whatever he lacked in decorum he made up for it in other ways.

I'm just not in to extremes. The ideal for me is somewhere between Obama's detached and passive approach and Biden's OTT emotive style. Ryan and Romney's performances in the last two debates reflected that more, in terms of style.

[GiancarloC]

I viewed Romney as far more disrespectful. Biden was being more honest about his feelings, and he was telling the truth as it is. I felt as if the emotions were necessary to show what he really felt. I didn't want a robotic performance. A robot could have debunked Paul Ryan. I wanted a human being with human emotions. And I think Paul Ryan kept trying to take more of the time to talk... that wasn't respectful itself... so I don't think he was that polite.

Romney's and Ryan's debate lack all substance. I prefer a more aggressive, substance based approach. That's the only way anything will get accomplished in this system, and that way Biden could convey the reality to the voters... he needed the momentum. Anything less then what he did would have been less then acceptable.

Ack, perish the the thought.

Apathetic young Moonbeams tend not to vote; angry old fart conservatives can't wait to get in the booth.

That being said--I cannot WAIT until this is over. I forgot how much the elections can bring out the worst in people. Acquaintances, family, and co-workers are working my LAST nerve with this shit. And don't even get me started on some of the members here.

Lord help.

The problem with third parties in the US is that they unavoidably take votes away from the major party nearest in philosophy to the third party. In effect they support the party they like least. So Nader took Democrat votes from Gore, electing Bush. Perot took Republican votes from Bush and then Dole, electing Clinton. Teddy Roosevelt took Republican votes from Taft, electing Wilson. Southern Democrats took votes from Douglas, electing Lincoln, so alarming the South that they seceeded.

Some of the gentle Moonbeams can't vote because they live in another country, NativeSon.

As for the ones who voted for Romney? They oughta just get it over with and hang themselves. A gay man voting Republican these days commits slow suicide. The rope's faster.

I just don't get how any gay man can vote for Romney.

A Florida Gay GOP group made an ad that was completely false about the slain Ambassador in Libya. This alone should drive gay people away from the GOP... but somehow I doubt it. Gay republicans really have no leg to stand on.

You're saying they're going to be out of town come election day?

"gentle"

Where did that come from?
