come on man, you are never at a loss to talk about the debates
Fact check-
"when a wise person debates with a fool, the fool rages and laughs, and there is no peace and quiet"

The proverb extends to outside of the VP debate.

My dad used to tell me, “In this country, you will be able to accomplish all the things we never could.” He and my mom emigrated from Cuba to America to give us a better life.
They believed in American exceptionalism, the promise of America.
America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights; power belongs to the people; and government exists to protect our rights. We shouldn’t be trapped by the circumstances of our birth -- we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us.
In America, we’re united not by a common race or ethnicity -- but by common values. This election’s about preserving those values and applying the founding principles to solve the challenges of our time.
It's a choice about what kind of country we want to leave our children. Let’s choose more freedom instead of more government. Let’s choose Mitt Romney and the Republican team to lead our nation back to prosperity.
Mitt believes we need to change the direction of our country. He has a plan to create 12 million new jobs. Together with the Republican team, he can deliver the real recovery America deserves.
Marco Rubio
Woot!
That is quite possibly the biggest load of ass-kissing bullshit I've seen in a long time.
I didn't know people still fell for that non-specific, wrap-yourself-in-the-flag, platitude-heavy and meaningless drivel.
Mitt Romney has "a plan," does he? 12 million jobs? Really?
So how come all we've heard is "you'll just have to trust us" and "we're going to lower taxes for everyone including the top 1% except the top 1% and not cut anything but make a lot of cuts and everyone will be happy and have jobs... but... um... well.... it's too hard to explain it to us... AMERICA THE GREAT!!!
If you don't vote for Mitt... All the eagles will die and god will take a big steaming dump right on the baby Jesus, who lives at the top of the Statue of Liberty that God himself put there in 1492!!!
You dad used to feed you that line about "in this country, you can [insert vague goal-oriented statement]," did he? And you fell for it?
Yeah.
So did a lot of people. Which is why the poor will storm the capital building to protect the taxes of the richest people... those same guys who will lay them off and outsource their jobs to China the week after.
"Power belongs to the people?"
Bullshit, it does. The power belongs to the Mega-Rich people like the Waltons... who, between the 6 of them, have more money than the bottom 40% of our country. And who could pay enough politicians to keep bills from being passed that would raise the minimum wage. Which is why almost HALF of their employees at Walmart are eligible for food stamps. But not a lot of people hear about that because the news agencies are owned by guys like Rupert Murdoch... who invents a new "liberal outrage" every week to distract their viewers.
Power belongs to people like the Koch brothers who have given HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars to campaigns this year. And they've bought enough politicians to keep campaign finance reform from being addressed as well.
So you know what?
you can copy/paste all the bullshit you want. I just hope most people remain smart enough to see through it.0 -

So that's why you keep saying "woot" at the end of all your posts.
