A foreign policy debate??? Roughly 40% of the federal operating budget is borrowed and we're discussing foreign policy?

What are the drinking rules?

One shot of araq for every mention of Iran.
One shot of vodka for every mention of Putin.
One shot of kosher vodka for every mention of Israel.

Anybody else find it ironic the debate of these two clowns is coming to us from a place called "Rat's Mouth?" As I recall, Boca Raton is Spanish for rat's mouth.

So in a sense, we are getting this directly from the rat's mouth.

This is going to be difficult to watch. All the pundits are talking as if Romney and Obama represent a stark philosophical difference, of American exceptionalism versus non intervention. Or at least Fox News is. As if Obama is some kind of isolationist.

A debate between Barack O'bomb-ya and Mitt (Don't) Bomb-me.

'Perhaps the closest we have ever come to nuclear war'?

Tell that to Japan, Shieffer...

 

[civusamericanus]

In who's sane mind would you install an embassy in Libya, when it had been less then a year since NATO's war ended and it's long time leader was murdered. It's not like we have had a long term relationship with Libya.

 

[jclay2]

aaaa romney is talking about expanding foreign aid!!!

 

[acptulsa]

Gender equality? You going to shove that down the throats of our ally and the Bush family's dear friend, Saudi Arabia, Mitt?

 

[civusamericanus]

Finally a TRUE difference between these two candidates, one has a "Blue Tie" and the other has a "Red Tie"! This is going to be good!
