The Ultimate Democratic Debate — Senator Mike Gravel vs. MSNBC. Senator Gravel was excluded by MSNBC for the Drexel University debate October 20, 2008. The Senator states the parent company, GE wants him out. GE is part of the military industrial complex. They have contracts in the billions of dollars with the US Government to manufacture equipment for the military.

The nerve of NBC!

and i looked over on the bench and saw mr. obama who was going to change the way politics is done and he looked sad even ‘windshielded’

he told me the tv ad comparing him to the ‘dark skinned judas of old betraying our risen lord before dawn’ was probably what did him in and it was below his ethics to combat such ignorance and instead he called for a national day of ‘oprah viewing’ which saw his poll numbers drop as the average american realized he/she really really really liked half-raw sizzling-hot pork chops on the plate for dinner and screw the foreigners-

I was like having this you know fierce argument with my significent other when we were driving to the dairy queen for some space=age cold stuff and a gnat or something hit the windshield just when I said ‘your parents inherited a psychosis you just can’t shake’ and the bug juice made me rethink everything.

and at that point too i started thinking of a clinton presidency that would squash every enemy of free trade like a bug and i was like smiling when i let my psychotic partner have a lick of the whirled cold sugary neighpalm ‘twist supreme’

So far no whiff of FISA or other civil liberty issues…

No – but the candidates were asked IMPORTANT QUESTIONS about IMPORTANT THINGS (like UFOs, Halloween costumes, etc.) – NOT ONE QUESTION about the restoring the Constitution or civil liberties.

NBC used to be a serious news organization – they should be ashamed.

Russert’s a buffoon…

Yes I cant believe they did not discuss the FISA hold or the AG up for confirmation, nor did they mention the backstabbing FTA Peru expansion up for a vote next week.

I guess the Constitution isn’t a Presidential Issue…

Richardson: we need an “energy revolution”, and “An Apollo program for renewable energy.”

Imagine where we’d be today if the initiative had been taken up in the Carter administration. Sigh.

It was begun and the Reagan administration, probably influenced by the oil guys Bush & Cheney, killed it.

I laughed, because the candidates all look like PEZ dispensers. Not a commentary on their answers, I hope.

Not sure what brand the Republican panel would be.

A real hoot that the moderators have more time than half the candidates.
Even though it’s been Obama and Clinton in the news, the last three days seem to showing effect (affect?)
Some shifts perhaps?

effect

really on target comment.
