Good stuff!
I was sincerely impressed with both candidates. Is it wrong of me to wish the presidential candidates were Biden and Palin? Can we skip those other two guys?
I was pleased with the ability to see a personal side to Joe Biden and although I still don’t see eye to eye with him, I was impressed with his viewpoints. He’s certainly a lot less left-wing than his running mate.
However, he really did make a few mistakes. He said Obama never said he would sit down without preconditions with threatening foreign leaders nd Obama *did* say that.
He said he was taken out of context on the clean coal issue, but his view points were clearly spoken that he said NO COAL. NONE. Period.
If you change your mind, be man enough to say you’ve changed your mind. I know McCain downright said he had changed his view points on several issues over the years. (Immigration, Global warming, etc)
Either way, I loved the air in this debate. I was really enjoying watching it for BOTH parties, not just my own.
How do you feel your candidate did?

I had to quit watching.
Biden is like a used car salesman: What he says sounds awfully nice, until you investigate for yourself, and it turns out he’s full of outright (if clever) lies. It’s like the 2004 debate all over again.
i enjoyed it too… and thought they both did really well.
Unfortunately, I don’t live in the United States (I wish I did coz then I’d be closer to you, and we can partayyyy!!)… Anyway, and so I’m not as much in step with what’s going on.
****Oooohhhh I haven’t heard that Eve 6 song in forever****
So, I watched the debate. It was pretty good. But when you ask how my candidate did…I have to say I’m still undecided. Yes, I know.
@iknowHimdou - BRANDY! Have you not heard ANYTHING I’ve said? Wow, I can’t believe you’re still so undecided. Do you know you barely have a month left?
@purplepixiepoo - I want you to be in the US too! What’s up with your latest pulse???
@JTMac - Felons aren’t allowed to vote anyway. =)

Oh sorry if that was offensive! Hahaha uhm that’s a line from a song by Rage Against the Machine (Killing in the Name of), which is my favorite band.
I know, I know.
*Hangs head in shame*
There are things I don’t like about both candidates, I know no one is perfect, but right now the cons are outweighing the pros. I have read everything you said, read everything EVERYONE has said. My head is so boggled and I’m really not educated in regards to politics like I should be.
I shall message you the rest as to the sole reason why I’m leaning towards one a smidgy more than the other, it’s rather personal, at least for me.
*gulp* we were (and still are) Watching Twilight Zone DVD’s
hehe yeah big ormand is back on xanga bunny. whoot whoot lol. yeah the two were pretty good i dont like biden i find a hot head that takes it in the butt from obama. he isn as far left as obama or even as way over the top liberal as obama is but he still is on the ticket with him. Biden omg is so dumb if he thinks Iraq isnt the center focal point of terrorism. its between four countries that hide terrorists its funny<<<(sarcasm) if he isnt downright cenile lol. anywho lebanon syria and iran with saudi’s just sitting by eating cake and sippin tea watching it all while terrorists in their country kill americans. some ask me why dont you include ira. here why iran and has a little known hidden fact to those that dont know. here it is: the guy running iran was on the terrorist faction that held our people hostage back in the day in iran
fun fact there and he doesnt see any problem with holocaust because to him it never happened for he just wants to make his own with the isreali wipeout and hezbellah rejoices the alllalalaalaalalas lol. morons with nuthin to do i swear. well another fun fact omg have you heard about the ship carrying tanks lol that was hyjacked kinda funny whether going to iran russai or somalia. the things they described where radioactive poisoning. if i were them id sink the boat with the hostages and if possible get the russains out. and the ship was carrying things i believe to/from ukraine. which was stockpiles of things that blow big holes and cause mass carnage and destruction. if not chaos. well sorry to go big on my comeback but whew it feels good to let it out with someone i know can get me so well 
oh yes and saw V is coming out and quarantine looks freakin sweet. oh and love the lime in the cocnut song is by harry nilsson if youd like it on cd haha its a fave track of mine. yep comes from my crazy sense of humor lol.
Personally, I wanted to give Sarah Palin a chance before being against her, but I’m starting to be somewhat disconcerted about her inexperience on a lot of important issues.
I don’t like Biden, but I thought he did a better debate than Palin.
I love her accent, though. xD
On an unrelated note, um, I noticed you had a Garbage track playing when I went on your page, and I just so happened to catch an interview of the lead singer (ah, what’s her name?) on Carson Daily’s show.
I actually thought the debate went pretty well. I do think that Biden did better. I have to admit that I was miffed when Palin started launching into the whole speech about what the VP does and how the VP duties are so flexible (the Constitution says they aren’t).
@AvenueToTheReal - Shirley Manson.
i enjoyed it too. i was rooting for Palin, but i agree that they both did fairly well. what i enjoyed the most, was listening to all the democrats after the debate as they admitted how well Palin did. one even said that Palin proved she is capable of being VP and even president if it comes to that. i also saw many “disappointed” opponents of McCain/Palin leaving comments on Facebook, as they had to admit that she did a great job and didn’t make any huge mistakes that would end up the butt of horrible jokes on SNL.
Biden lied through his teeth. Repeatedly.
@SwordAndSacrifice -
I posted a few of those fibs.I had more listed but they sounded petty on my behalf. (which means they were also petty on his behalf.) If you change your mind or viewpoint, why not just say it so you don’t come across as a liar?
@AvenueToTheReal -
Garbage is the SHIZNIT. I did notice that Biden actually showed some personality in his debate. Before that, he’d kinda seemed like an airhead to me. BTW, if you change your mind and vote for McCain, I’ll give you cookies. I’m your biggest fan, Nori!
@life_by_us - Well, I don’t think his statement that John McCain voted against funding for the troops in Iraq was a “petty” lie. That was just brazenly untrue.
