Was anybody watching the (R) Debate this AM?

Am I on a different planet, or do they all sound like the are insane?


Ghoulianin: pay for infrastructure by lowering taxes.

McCain: Open talk about using the "bomb."

Romney: Slick-assed bullshitter.


The only one who made any sense was Ron Paul , and I'm not going to vote for him either.




Once thing is certain, and that is that these guys are toast.

1. McCain is a living example of untreated PTSD.

3. Damn. You are right. I hadn't made that connection before.
I feel sad now for McCain and angry, once again, that we as a nation cannot see the sick, sick cycle of sending young people to war who will return with PTSD and who will act our their insanity by sending the next generations to war to return home with PTSD.

5. One of the worst sides of PTSD, is the illusion that delusion
is OK, and it takes a long time to learn to deal with it, in my case 35yrs and still counting

8. Would you mind explaining a wee bit more?
I think I sort of get it, but there's some confusion remaining. If you'd rather not, that's ok.

9. I can only speak from experience However, it is an Illusion to yourself
that the things we do in our daily life are acceptable, ie: overreacting to situations, feelings of rejection, some of which are valid, being reclusive, and a lot more I won't go into, however these feeling by definition are an Illusion, and the delusion is, that these feeling and ways of reacting are acceptable, I hope this helps to explain it.

11. Thanks, it does help.
I have done a bit of work in the mental health field and any input can be valuable.

2. Central daylight time, local station doesn't start until an houl and
a quarter from now. Dish tv outsourced their menu service a couple months ago, so there's no way to determing what's coming on an hour from now. (If that crap doesn't stop soon I'm going to explore the possibility of a different satellite provider.)

Is the puke debate taking the place of his regular show?

4. It was on George Stephanopoluos's (sp?) show.

Really, the only one that made any sense was Ron Paul.


The rest of the sadsack song and dance was about how we have to fight em there, islamic terrorism, tax breaks and how everythind is great.



What a bunch of fucking assholes.

My wife made me leave the room after I started throwing things at Ghouliani's image.

6. Many thanks.
I'll try to watch as much of it as I can stand, since I'm a little sick already. It won't make much difference.

7. Ghouliani couldn't say what his biggest mistake was. Implied there were too many.
Said he'd tell a priest.

Others said crap like not telling wives they loved them enough and similar nonsense. Romney, of course, said abortion flip-flop. Tancredo pulled the Jesus card.

10. Shouldn't they be in church?
Or are they hoping the fundie churches broadcast the debate as their sermon?

God is going to smite them.

12. The Romney Comedy Hour
“It’s wrong for a person running for the president of the United States to get on TV and say, We’re going to go into your country unilaterally.”

HAHA

13. Why would they have a debate on a Sunday morning?
Were they trying to make sure their supporters didn't watch them debate?
