A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.
If you are the author of this post, see the Edit tab ad Help (and Advanced Help) for detailed documentation.
1. Someone compares Syria and Bahrain.
2. Someone says Gitmo should be closed.
3. Someone mentions the administration's xtrevilist definition of 'militant.'
4. Any CIA-backed coup is mentioned.
5. Someone suggests legalizing drugs to stop feeding the cartels.
6. Someone suggests the US doesn't need to have military bases all around the world.
7. Someone suggests lifting the complete failure that is the Cuban embargo.
8. etc.
Not much difference in economic policy, but maybe they'll slip up and say something substantive, that we can hold them to. Yeah, I know, got a bridge to sell me, if I actually believe that will happen. LOL!
Start out by asking whether they'll pledge to defend Israel and then turn it around and ask whether that would adequately deter Iran. Brilliant. Of course, their only skill is dodging questions, so it doesn't really matter. But still very clever and concise.

I'll be
watching Lions at the Bears.
Lions, Bears, Oh my!
Lot of atrocities to document there, too.
Not again!!!!!!
Please - put us out of our misery already!
LOL -- if only, cc! I'd rather eat one of the Insectidotes
than watch that drivel again.
I LOVE the insectidotes....
If I could figure out how to post some pictures, I'd give Corrente some wonderful Arizona Insectidotes! But, alas.....
Teetotalling game
Take a shot if any of these happen:
1. Someone compares Syria and Bahrain.
2. Someone says Gitmo should be closed.
3. Someone mentions the administration's xtrevilist definition of 'militant.'
4. Any CIA-backed coup is mentioned.
5. Someone suggests legalizing drugs to stop feeding the cartels.
6. Someone suggests the US doesn't need to have military bases all around the world.
7. Someone suggests lifting the complete failure that is the Cuban embargo.
8. etc.

Nobody then can run against a sitting president.
Poor choice of words - when you think of Obamney...

Good catch
Ouch!

Oooh! The "put you into this Camry" smile. With eyes so cold
it looked as if Romney wanted to fire this pesky non-Dot Zero One Percenter immediately. How dare The Help speak critically to him?
As a non-Obama voter, I have to admit that Romney actually made Obama look fairly good tonight.
However, we still have a piss poor choice. I am not voting legacy, once again.
I see the middle east has come up

for real? is Obama stuttering
https://twitter.com/stacya71/status/260552655913492482
I think it's "put on," but he does it from time to time . . .
what on earth for, I can't imagine. It drives me nuts, too.
(It may be his attempt at being "a regular guy." LOL!)
The stuttering is a practiced technique....
It makes you seem "human" and real and overcome with what you have to say.
He has always stuttered. Media keeps saying he's a smooth
Speaker. He never has been. Pure fiction.
is this how Romney is coming across?

Frankly, glad it's turning back to domestic (economic) policy.
Foreign policy of the uniparties--identical.
Not much difference in economic policy, but maybe they'll slip up and say something substantive, that we can hold them to. Yeah, I know, got a bridge to sell me, if I actually believe that will happen. LOL!

Obama slams Romney effectively on small bus in MA
Then starts defending his education policies!!!! Listen to him, you'd think he has for the CTU and against charters!
Obama's problem
https://twitter.com/_MatthewWeaver/status/260555594157670401
Yes, President Obama, you've "reformed education" all right . .
Why don't you elaborate on all the public schools that you've shut down, and replaced with private charter schools.
Oh, I forgot. You NEVER give any details. Your style is "all vision, no substance."
