DON'T BAIT ME, JUST DEBATE ME.

The three presidential debates were fascinating for their mano-a-mano aspects. These weren't debates,  these were dog fights, and were reported as such. "He looked like he was going to hit him at one point!" said one excited TV commentator. The first debate had Romney as a yard dog. Snapping and growling at poor Obama who seemed to have left his fight at home. He kept looking down as if trying to remember why he was there. He got off a few good shots, but all in all, he was down for the count when the match finished. The next debate had both candidates moving and jabbing, moving and jabbing. The President was awake, present, and gave as good as he got. Romney is a mauler, and at one point while spewing facts and figures as if he actually understood the math behind them, the president tried to point out a few discrepancies, and Romney told him to back off "you'll get your turn." Hey Mitt, that's not just another guy, that's the President of these United States! I shouted at my TV. Have a little respect. But Mitt was out for blood, and like a hungry vampire, he had no other focus. Obama came off a classier fighter. Sugar Ray Robinson in his prime. The last debate found Mitt Romney more subdued. His handlers had obviously told him he was looking like a brute in a suit. That doesn't win over moderates. So Mitt shifted gears for the last debate determined to look presidential. We saw a calmer, more reasonable Romney. Not trying to bite off Obama's ear this time. In fact he agreed with the President a good part of the time. Obama poked and punched this new cutout of Mitt Romney and won the match. So, it's pretty much a tie. It was good theater but not a good debate. We learned nothing new. Each man repeated his basic stump speech. Next time just put on the damn gloves. If your going to give us a blood match, just do it, for real, and save us from having to listen to campaign speeches that we're already tired of hearing.

MR. COOL VS MR. KOOL AID. THE RACE IS ON!

"Only Pres Obama could prevent a depression, end a war, get bin Laden, bring unemployment below 8 percent, then be told he can't run on his record."
     A recent tweet by Chris Rock.

OBAMA IS COOL. ROMNEY IS KOOL AID. Obama's main problem is that four years ago he was seen as the Messiah. People wanted miracles. The economy was to be turned instantly to gold just as Jesus turned water into wine. It didn't happen. He turned out to be an ordinary man. A good, hard working, dedicated President, but not the messiah everyone expected. And so now, the fickle populace is ready for the new messiah. Mitt Romney. He promises to do what Obama hasn't been able to do, turn the economy to gold. He speaks gold. Has a personal relationship with it, and now, he will share his golden touch with the general public. Just bring your tattered lives to him, and receive the blessings of the rich. How can you doubt that he is the true Messiah. His personal wealth speaks for itself. Listen. The cash registers are lined up behind him in a heavenly choir of chi-ching! Can you hear it? Of course, you can. Oh, yeah, this time it's real! The Second Coming.

CH-CH-CH-CHANGES. When he was Governor of Massachusetts, Romney was a moderate, then at the beginning of his race for the presidency he became a right winger, and now, he's a moderate again. You can't blame the man, he's a Mormon. I know you're not supposed to mention a man's religion in politics. I'm just saying as a true Mormon he has known that things can change, even the word of God. Polygamy was once an integral part of Mormonism, but no more. If you were black you were evil, your skin color was all a Mormon needed to cast you out. It meant you were in cahoots with the Devil. But wait, then came Civil Rights and changes that made us all equal, and the Mormons met the challenge by changing their precepts again. And there were other changes. But I don't want to make this a religious tract. I just want to point out that Romney just seems to change with the tide, he's actually just being Mormon. God Bless him.

OBAMACARE AND ROMNEYCARE ARE FRATERNAL TWINS. MITT WHY HAVE YOU ABANDONED YOUR OWN CHILD? SHAME ON YOU!
