Do the presidential debates influence how you vote?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 17, 2012

“Maybe. I’m waiting for them to come back with more speeches.”
“I don’t think they change for me. They just reinforce my thought.”
“No.”

Umm... Nothing personal. But how does a Literacy Coach pronounce "Msyua?" ...I tried and am sure I am off the mark. Must be one heck of a good teacher. - Rock On!
Thank you, Ms. "Aadfulcshaskjb." And thank you for giving me T.M.J....

No, they don't. I'm so glad I don't live in one of the so-called battleground states where folks are probably inundated with bazillions$ in campign ads. It gives the term 'swing dancing' a whole new meaning.
Sheesh. How long until November?

Face it neither WOMEN nor Republicans nor Democrats nor the Middle class can afford the Republican Party!
-- Women will be getting more republican big government in there lives? It is on the way! http://www.kansascity.com/2012/10/05/3849961/joel-brinkley-gop-would-impose.html
--- Public Education is a strong player in new Economic Growth yet republicans starve the system of funding which starves our teachers of resources. Which starves the desired level of education = stealing from our children’s future.
--- "Rebuilding America's Defences," openly advocates for total global military domination” (Very dangerous position which threatens OUR freedoms and the nations security) http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Project_for_the_New_American_Century
--- The repub party declared the day Obama was elected their primary function would be to make Obama a one term president. Consequently their millions of NO votes became the disastrous campaign against women,The USA and jobs for Americans. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/09/did-republicans-deliberately-crash-us-economy
--- Ask yourself is the market value of your home worth less than your mortgage? How much market value have home owners lost since 2007? Trillions of $$$$.
--- Republicans want to kill PBS and NPR - NO I want my tax dollars to support PBS and NPR
These republican economic policies are apparently entitlements that literally destroyed millions of jobs,economies,retirement plans. And made owning a home a risky investment - now that is remarkable.
--- This ENTITLEMENT - Bailing out The Reagan/Bush Savings and Loan Heist aka home loan scandal sent the economy out the window costing taxpayers many many $$ trillions (Cost taxpayers $1.4 trillion), Plus millions of jobs, loss of retirement plans and loss of medical insurance. http://rationalrevolution0.tripod.com/war/bush_family_and_the_s.htm[
--- This ENTITLEMENT Bailing out the Bush/Cheney Home Loan Wall Street Bank Fraud cost consumers $ trillions, millions of jobs, loss of retirement plans and loss of medical insurance. Exactly like the Reagan/Bush home loan scam. Déjà vu can we say. Yep seems to be a pattern. http://www.dollarsandsense.org/archives/2009/0709macewan.html
--- This ENTITLEMENT - Bush/Cheney implied many financial institutions were at risk instead of only 3? One of the biggest lies perpetrated to American citizens. Where did this money go? Why were some banks forced to take bail out money? http://www.democracynow.org/2009/9/10/good_billions_after_bad_one_year

No. I make my decision before the debates begin, and I don't have the patience to sit through them.

"I wonder if Jake and Whitney can call "DIBS" on Lance's box at the soccer field?"
Lance who? Lance Druggie Boy? No news to me. I new the guy was an arrogant jerk from day one. So he named a Girl's Volleyball stadium after himself. I bet he's never been there. Too busy having various mid-life crises, leaving his wife that stood by him through the cancer and chasing skanky chicks like Sheryl Crow. Jake....You don't mean that short bald guy on that absurd Sunday night Pitch show do you? Oh, Whit Whit Whit! Don't worry Jake, Hollis Brown already told me you want to kick my butt. I shudder.......

All I know is Ethel Skakel is not a Kennedy, she just married one. Her nephew Michael isn't a Kennedy either. He just said he was so he could get away with murdering that cute girl Martha Moxley in the impoverished village of Greenwich, CT in 1975. His dad's name was Rushton. With a name like Rushton, how can you not be a wealthy alcoholic with poorly-raised kids. So is it Rushton, Ethel, or Bobby's fault. Boy, politics sure is confusing.

"Lance Armstrong had repeated carnal relations with an Olsen twin."
Oh, for God's sake, BoB! Please! I just vomited on my remote control! I'm so GD pissed at that trollop for murdering Heath. His finest hour was in "Brokeback Mountain". I damn near cried at that. Jake Unpronounceablename couldn't even ruin it. I'm 80% straight but I would have damn well married Heath after watching that. Speaking of murder, I'm kinda hoping Dr. Spew will kill the entire cast of "Rehab". No "celebs", but the same spoilt jerk-offs. Just more privileged repulsive losers.

Lance Armstrong had repeated carnal relations with an Olsen twin. I can't remember if it was the twin that killed Heath Ledger or the other one. T_O_B
Really? I had not heard that. Gag. And Cheryl Crow, gag. She is from Missoura. Nuff said.

Sheryl Crow is a mouth breather. As a child, she never learned to breath through her nose. Usually the result of inbreading. Therefore her upper lip constantly hangs over her teeth and she cannot properly close her mouth, making intimacies difficult. See Suzie Chafee and Christie Brinkley. Plus, I believe she is from Kennet, MO. Lots of meth is made there, a sure warning sign.

I only get to vote one way, unless I vote early or request a mail ballot
Last time I voted, the old lady got all bent out of shape when I brought my own disinfecting wipes and spray to use before I voted with the touch screen. But dammit voting is always in November and April, the two months when the spread of disease is highest. Then last time I had to leave my gun with some kid outside while I voted. And if I want to vote tomorrow , I have to drive to the office. Dammit, I just may request an mail ballot.

"Darn it Eddie, some of those girls volleyball players would kick sand in our eyes"
Look Artie, the hottest women's volleyball players are from S. America, like Ronaldo, and they totally love to dominate men. I dated this KU volleyball player from there years ago. She was taller than me, beautiful, and insisted on tying me up with her panties while she took advantage of me and called me "Andrea". I loved every minute of it.

I have it on good info that your rock matriculated out to a massive pagan stone orgy south of Pleasant Grove in those mountains of rock which were rejected as inferior on the U-59 project. Start your search there!

Not a bad guess. But, I think it was manufactured in Colombia. Nurtured from the green leaves of the mountain to be cut, mixed with other "things," and compressed to dry.
Marrying a rock means to smoke it. When it gets to the point of no return it is then ingested rectally for full absorption.
I think My_Life may need some prep-H.
