Day: October 22, 2012

To set the stage, the Foxies pick up on President Obama using Stewart’s expression, “optimal.” Welcome to the the hashtag, Not-Optimal which has become, Not-optimal-gate.

It seems that Senator McCain committed to something without proper vetting since he could not have possibly seen the president using Stewart’s term.  It aired an hour later than he made his proclamation.

Bulls#%t Mountain: Episode I – The Phantom Menace

Oh those Foxies are at it again.  Jon exposes the BS and lies.  Welcome to Bulls#%t Mountain.

Jon Stewart tells us that is the one thing about living on Bulls#%t Mountain, when it rains, you get the mudslide.

Tim Kaine is currently holding a telephone town hall meeting.  It’s around noon on Monday.  What an interesting strategy. He is reaching a lot of people on lunch hour and a lot of women. 

Tim Kaine is the best choice for Senate. He is very concerned over sequestration coming to Virginia.  He is addressing transportation issues, health care issues, job issues, and women issues.  Very informative.   Kaine is knowledgeable and doesn’t always think straight political ticket.  I like that independence (other than the rest areas.)

A current caller wants a Constitution Amendment to do away with Citizens United.  Kaine thought Citizens united was  a horrible decision and agreed with the caller.  He doesn’t think it would necessarily take a Constitutional Amendment.  He is concerned the secret money being dumped into campaigns more so than corporations.  He wants a shareholder vote for corporate giving.  That seems fair.  Kaine thinks  this can be done via congress rather than amendment.

He tells his audience that his biggest public concern is Education.  That is how he got his start, improving education in the Richmond area.  He would want to be on the Education committee in the Senate. 

He hasn’t once brought up Macaca.  I will, however.

The third and final presidential debate is tonight. Foreign policy is the focus and each candidate will have 2 minutes to answer.

President Obama should have the strength here but who knows.  I am not a betting woman. 

How many different election cycles, in recent memory, have been close in popular vote?  The polls have both candidates neck and neck…something like each having 48% of the likely vote. 

What would happen if there were an electoral college tie?

Did the Iranians drop an October surprise and were they attempting to manipulate the election?

Meanwhile, we will never agree on winners and losers.  Its obvious that the one who wins is the one we personally like the most.

Yawn!  I am so tired of this election.  We get this one over and the state cranks up.  Moan!  Groan!!  More fools.
