How did he get in there then is America is a smart, well informed country?

You tell me...

A perfect storm of Bush exhaustion, the most inept campaign by a GOP candidate ever, an economic collapse 1 1/2 months before the election, "white guilt" votes for Obama, and the MSM exercising what is hopefully a one-time scam on the American people by promoting one party beyond all reason...

Its your right. Not my problem if the majority of people are far to mentally lazy to get off their ass and make an informed decision.

Ill be voting for a guy who wants to reign in this federal monster, not continue to feed it.

Look, with all due respect, I have posted this before - I voted for Ross Perot. I viewed him as a viable candidate with a real shot at changing the country.

I've aged many years. I've come to recognize that the primaries are the time to get off your ass and fight for your candidate. Get involved, get active...you can make a difference at that time. However afterward, you are down to 2...maybe (as the case with Perot) 3 viable choices. Sorry, but the majority of the country may have a much different opinion on who is the best person for the job than you do or I do.

In the end, you get to vote for YOUR choice. And whether your choice is Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Gary Johnson, etc...the country will narrow it down to just 2-3 viable choices. If you decide to vote for someone other than these, the incumbent will likely win. Yea, it sucks. However it is the best that we've got and what we've got is much better than other nations.

Good luck and please use your vote wisely.

And what are his chances of making a difference?

Thanks JFrame.....my sweetie teaches fifth grade at a catholic school, and she did teacher training in public schools. Great teachers are huge (I feel they've helped me immeasurably), but your parents are your primary role models, and your parents can teach you more than just about any teacher can. (at higher levels, you do need teachers with expertise and extensive training).

Teachers can inspire the kids, and I'll always love the five or ten best teachers in my life. But I spent 25 years as a student (12 yrs, 1-12, skipped K; 4 yrs undergrad physics; 9 yrs grad physics). Plenty of teachers

Just so we're clear: You favor Obama over Ron Paul?

Ok guys, gotta jet. This was fun. I'm really looking forward to the Ryan-Biden debate.

Haha. Millions of people voted for Ron Paul, and he raised a lot of money.

You are confusing people with the media.

When Obama is re-elected, we will revisit this conversation.

The third party will caucus with one of the two major parties, just like they do now.

Third parties aren't viable.

You think Johnson will do what you want him to do solo?

That will be pathetic. I actually think Ryan will look like a bully picking on a mentally-challenged child with 1 leg and no arms.

He will have to walk a tightrope in order not to give biden the sympathy vote.

Obama would have to get a promotion to rise to Pauls level, but just the same, by himself Ron Paul is sort of like a bodily function. If you don't flush it, it draws really annoying flies.

(I'll spell it out, the Paulbotas are ****flies,)

Can the like-minded people of this country please separate from the rest who want to government to enforce their own idiotic views? Please?

Since RP didn't make it to the stage why don't we talk about the debate?

jdavionic · 10-03-2012, 20:52

Switched to CNN to see their opinions.

JRoCc · 10-03-2012, 20:52

Barry looked so bad.....I was thinking they would stage something so the Secret Service could sweep him from the podium.....then their was a loud noise back stage that both candidates stopped and looked behind them....I thought the SS were on their way in to throw Barry the life preserver.

Ok, then.

Obama is going to violate the constitution because he wants to impose his own view on the country..

Romney is going to violate the constitution because he wants to impose his own view on the country..

jdavionic · 10-03-2012, 20:54

Wow, the spinsters are busy. "He's basically looking to pay for his plan by cutting out Big Bird"

I can't agree more...I believe the decline in student scores in this country (in general) can be attributed to a large degree in the degradation of the nuclear family.

There is a great tendency to blame the economy, and the fact that both parents have to work. But I recall that it was my father (who worked full time), who spent nights with me at the dinner table going over my homework with me. My mother spoke very little English, so it was up to him. He could have just packed it in after 9 hours on the job and a long commute home -- but come 8 o'clock, he was my tutor.

Parents (or some surrogate thereof) should be every child's #1 hero -- and those of us who can claim that are truly blessed.
