My friend, if you will allow;
It is for us all to remember (and I believe you do) that the ballot is stronger than the bullet, or in this case, the hammer. Would that a few whacks to the head would do a lot of politicians good, to be sure. But would it ultimately change their mind or just dull their will to speak it? We should consider the definition of a politician; one who compresses the most words into the smallest idea of any man. If we could really learn about the men behind the words in their speeches, and what they are truly capable of, in spite of what they will be allowed to do, we would all sleep less secure tonite and tomorrow.

I watched about 10 minutes of the debate before I decided the rest of it was going to be more of the same and decided to do something else.
If anything, this debate only reinforces my belief that we should all write-in Chuck Norris this November. Quit trying to pick the lesser of two evils and vote for a real man.
Remember: Chuck Norris doesn't debate, he roundhouse kicks children and drinks their blood. I'd like to see another candidate with that kind of male-reproductive-organ fortitude.

Thanked: 21I thought Palin didn't embarrass herself, and did OK. I think Biden was very good. Personally, I wish he had went after Palin on her Machiavellian purges and cronyistic appointments in Alaska when given the opportunity, but I can certainly understand why he chose not to. My favorite moment was the "John McCain's no maverick" soliloquy. If it had come earlier, Palin's "maverick" talking point would have just sounded silly every time she said it (and she wouldn't have stopped saying it), but it had great effect when he said it. In fact, the undecided tracker in CNN spiked downward every time she said "maverick" any way, so maybe Biden was right.
Palin had some rather weak moments. My favorite was when she started talking about the Constitutional role of the office of VP, suggesting she would have more power than Cheney, followed by Biden's assertion that Cheney has been the most dangerous VP in history.
