<\/a><\/div>\n

Since I was down and out tonight with a massive headache, I just didn’t feel up to watching the debates. Instead, I used social media to learn everything I needed to know. Since I know there are those who couldn’t watch or weren’t up to watching, I thought I would share the list that I made to help all of you make an educated choice before you vote. Ready? Here goes:<\/p>\n

* This is not a debate
\n* Someone was lying at 5 minutes and 17 minutes …and 20 minutes…
\n* The candidates look like shit
\n* People like drinking games
\n* Middle class taxes were lowered but some are paying higher than ever
\n* Donald Trump is a small business
\n* Romney has a smarmy grin
\n* People would like to see the candidates box
\n* Obama thinks he is the second coming of Clinton
\n* PBS has good fellas
\n* 25 minutes in and some people are in alcohol induced comas due to the drinking game<\/p>\n

The debates in a nutshell.
\n10 first guy: “You said you were gonna do such and such.”
\n20 second guy: “nuh uh”
\n30 first guy: “yuh huh”
\n40 goto 20
\nIt’s like watching toddlers debate!<\/p>\n

*The correct term to yell out is Democracy, not Bingo.
\n* There should be a disgusting food challenge to this debate.
\n* The candidates are trying hard not to roll their eyes.
\n* Social security and women’s health care are somehow the same thing.
\n* Living wills will fix the economy.
\n* Politicians cannot tell time.
\n* Punches come in percentages.
\n* Politicians use ambiguous statements.
\n* Romney has a staring problem.
\n* There’s a smug jackass on tv.
\n* The candidates sound like the teacher from Charlie Brown.
\n* Obama is acting like McCain – old, tired & confused.
\n* Romney likes to nuke people. (10th Amendment)
\n* Obama will give me land to build a college.
\n* Politicians like to use big words and talk so the normal people can’t understand.
\n* Awesome is a grade for schools…
\n* Presidents don’t get facts, just houses and airplanes.
\n* Closing remarks are tedious.
\n* Romney wants to kill Big Bird.
\n* The debate was very freewheeling – big wheels would have been more fun to watch.<\/p>\n

* Romney thumped Obama.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Hopefully this helps all of you when you’re trying to decide who ought to be the head of our country!<\/p>\n

* My thanks to friends on both Facebook and Yahoo who shared these gems with me as they watched the actual debate.
\n* I may or may not have twisted a few of these when I wrote things down.
\n* Please do not take this list as a serious list of reasons you should vote for anyone. Do your research and homework so that you make an intelligent and educated decision.
\n* This site does not lay claim to either candidate. We still live in the People’s Republic of Katrina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
