So because I don't agree with you that means I am sitting on my ass and not working?

I still want some of what you're smoking.

I don't want what AG smokes.

I value the few grey cells that still fire.

You write: (none / 0)

''I value the few grey cells that still fire."

And well you should.

They must be getting lonely.

Even if it were that easy..."Here, toke up!!"...you couldn't handle it.

Bet on it.

You can't smoke it, halO.

You've got to live it.

Re: Debate Thread II (none / 0)

I am interested to hear what polls say about this debate.

I thought McCain came off as a very scary crazy old man. Scary evil eyes. Repeating things as if he can't remember what he's talking about.

Obama looked tired but handled the answers pretty well and didn't fall for McCain's attempts to piss him off. Calm and cool and smart.

CNN (where I watched) said other networks didn't do the full-time split-screen view like they did. McCain may have done better if viewers didn't see his crazy expressions while Obama was talking.

Re: Debate Thread II (none / 0)

Well I missed the whole thing but the CBS group of undecideds seemed to love McCain.

Re: Debate Thread II (none / 0)

Is that because McCain was so great, or because so few people are truly undecided at this point.

Re: Debate Thread II (none / 0)

dunno.

Since I missed the whole debate I don't have anything to go on as to why they were so positive on McCain.

I hope you were having fun while we were listening to John McCain talk to his imaginary friend Joe the Plumber. :)

Re: Debate Thread II (none / 0)
