And Again They Face Off

Debate 2

It felt like I was at a playground fight and a debate broke out by accident.

“Pettysburg” Chris Muir labels it in today’s Day By Day cartoon when the young leftist character gushes how much Obama in this debate reminds her of Lincoln.  It beats the heck out of me how the left draws any similarity between old Abe and young Barack. I don’t think they have a thing in common.

So, how did the candidates fare this time around? Hard for me to say, but ...

* Romney kept his cool and stayed professional. While Obama did manage to NOT do the grinning-derisive-jackass Biden face, he sat on the edge of his seat with his little smirk waiting for a chance to be irritating and to throw more lies around. At heart he is a rabble rouser. Still the community organizer who plays really fast and loose with the facts. Ex Post Facto, whoever wins this one in the Fact Check sweepstakes had better make major hay with it; I couldn’t count how many times each guy flat out told the other one he was lying out his ass. SOMEBODY sure was messing with the truth last night.

* CNN’s moderator Candy Crowley got in the way. What, did she think this was her show or something? I think she clearly had a bias in favor of Obama. Both candidates did run right over her several times though.

* Obama was the clear loser on the body language part. He could not look Romney in the eye. He could not stand toe to toe with him. He kept looking away, turning his back, pretending that he couldn’t hear the questions he wasn’t going to answer and so on. Holy cow, if you can’t go all WWF or NBA trash talkin face to face with a used car salesman opponent, how are you going to stand up against the psycho North Koreans or some evil greasy mullahs?

* The hypocrisy of Obama is pretty amazing. He tells the biggest lies with not just a straight face but with a “Who, me? Why are you accusing poor little me?” wrapper. How dare you say that in the wake of the Benghazi attack, which I secretly knew at the moment it happened was a terrorist attack, that I blithely went off to Las Vegas to raise funds, not caring a whit that my ambassador was being raped and murdered! That’s not how we do things!! ... and of course, that’s exactly, EXACTLY what he did. There were a number of these puke inducing statements, bullshit drops of galactic caliber. I couldn’t make it to the end of the debate because of it. I got as far as the Libya part, where Crowley had her one shining moment and told Obama that he did indeed misstate something or other. Then I turned it off and walked away.

* I want Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh or even Newt Gingrigh to moderate the next debate. Why is it that the left gets to supply the moderator for every single one of these things, every single time? Their bias is sometimes highly apparent. Doesn’t the Right ever get a turn??

* Horry clap, Romney has wookie paws. Great big hairy patches between the joints. Manscape!!

What else? I dunno. Still on my first coffee. Then I’ve got another window job up the street, so I won’t have much time to update this until much later. Add your own thoughts, comments, observations. Thanks.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
