I can’t believe I watched the whole vice presidential debate. I didn’t think I would, figuring Biden would eat Palin alive. I even had some Palin jokes ready, especially after the article which just appeared in the New York Daily News.
The night started with some great Simpsons and Seinfeld. I laughed especially hard at the final line of the second Simpsons episode, the one where Sideshow Bob gets out of prison and marries Selma, then tries to murder her. After Bart foils his plan, he says: “You can’t keep the democrats out of the whitehouse forever! And when they get in, me and all my criminal friends will be back on the streets!” I still debated if I would watch the debate as the time drew nigh. I finally decided to, and in a strange way feel glad that I did.
As said, I thought Biden would eat Palin alive, given his experience in the Washington criminal syndicate. I felt surprised when early on I realized that Palin would win. She seemed more vibrant, and speaking more to the American people. I still plan to write in Ron Paul, so nobody panic. They did seem to go back and forth about things, and at times I felt confused as to whose side each serviced. Palin talked of soccer games and hockey moms. Biden droned on about whatever. I felt a little sleepy, and started a little fantasy number in my head, where I would participate in the debate, as a last minute rogue addition.
Allow me to present my economic stimulus plan. First, we bring our troops home from everywhere, and put them on our borders. Then, we legalize pot, tax it, and put all the taxes towards balancing the budget. This way, smokers would absolutely know that they would not support terrorism. This plan seems simple enough.
They said they would support gays in contracts, visitation rights, etc., but both opposed gay marriage. This seemed rather confusing to me. I figure I’d get a gay guy to help me pick out a suit or something. They do well with those sorts of things, and tend to get good smoke too – killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. Personally, I don’t care what people do in their own lives. Leave it up to the states, find me a woman, and I will feel happy. Speaking of, did Palin sound stoned to anyone else?
Things went on, they bickered a little about the war, tax cuts, and some other things I forget. Pundits seemed to feel that Palin did well on energy and economic issues, and Biden did better in foreign policy issues. I oppose both their foreign policies (see above) and I longed for Ron Paul, especially when one pundit declared this possibly the most interesting debate in this whole primary season. For me, that will always remain as the debate where Ron Paul nailed Giuliani on the principles of noninterventionism, even going so far as to assign him a reading list. And who can forget when he proved McCain’s lack of knowledge about the president’s working group on financial matters?
Forget these clowns! Go Ron Paul! You still have my vote.
