Will there be any Great Performances this

Posted: Aug 1, 2015

Decision for the debate will be made from polls by 08/04 5:00 p.m. ET Will the bottom of the field be performing this weekend to try to make the cut? Is this the reason for Hucakbee's bizarre outspoken remarks in the past few days? What will they do to attract attention. Bad press worth more than no press at all? ;

These are not debates. They are designed to make any real leader look - foolish. They serve the interest of big media

consultant establishment and the entertainment triangle, not the interest of the people. It's a dog and pony show.

In this popular culture of celebrity, I heard this proposal (not my idea but I like it).

Put them on an "island" and give them political, economic, social, and security problems to solve. Then after seeing how well they work together, make them vote someone off the island before going to the next round. They would be simultaneously cooperating and competing to solve problems. This would quickly reveal leaders, team players, bullies, and wimps.

Advertisers would sponsor it. Viewers would learn about issues. Pundits would go nuts. Would be very entertaining.

Make it like Naked and Afraid, since sex sells. - I'm sure that will attract more

viewers.

Not Naked and Afraid - if Christie is included

that's a visual I don't need.

Can you imagine HC and BS naked? - I would certainly be afraid.

Very, very afraid.

These are NOT debates. More like a Miss America - competition.

These are just staged media events that can provide no more than a glimpse of the candidates, and what the media are really hoping for is a bit of "cheesecake" - which in this context means someone having a "wardrobe malfunction" by committing some sort of gaffe, losing their temper, forgetting a fact, etc. If you've ever noticed, the biggest criterion for candidates to "win" in these debates is just to "get through" them without making themselves look foolish. That's a pretty low bar to meet.

It's this simple: You don't give people 2 minutes to articulate their positions on extremely complex issues and call it a "debate". Look up the Lincoln-Douglas debates and you'll see what a real debate looks like.

The problem is, today's average citizen wouldn't be able to sit through a real debate, so this is just a cheap substitute for the media to feed to the sheeples. And then, we need "post-debate analysts" to tell us what we should think about what the candidates said, because of course we could never figure that out for ourselves.

TV during the Nixon/Kennedy debates worked in Kennedy's favor, but Nixon won on the - radio. I'm leery of televised "debates&q

anyway. I've learned more about candidates when they are taken off guard, like Cruz and Code Pink. He handled that with class.

"A direct descendant of Brigham Young, Sue Emmett left the church (at 55) because of the very values she says would make Romney a frightening president. She speaks exclusively with Jamie Reno. Sue Emmett is Mormon royalty. Her great-great-grandfather was Brigham Young, the founder of Salt Lake City, first governor of Utah, and president and prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) from 1847 until his death in 1877."

Summer is coming and we live in Florida where it is hot and rainy. My son was bored and I was too... so we found a movie theater locally which did not cost an arm and a leg. I took him to see Shrek 3-D and it was GREAT! Highly recommended. I can see how some people might get a little nauseous with the 3-D because sometimes it is hard to take especially with buttered popcorn in the stomach! But it really was great in 3-D. It really reminded me of the old "Disney." As ...

I'm just about over being sick. I don't have to work today. The whole day stretches before me in pure luxurious possibility.

I'm reading Longfellow (poet), I really like it, it's easy to read - poetry that's easy to read, what a concept! I'm also working on a poem and my novel. It's like 24 hours' ...

Got the car fixed - several things wrong with it - so hopefully fingers crossed it will make it through the winter. The whole winter. And there's another car here, so if worse came to worst, I could take that. Moral of the story - a big stress is when "worse comes to worst" is on the horizon, and you have to live with that possibility day in and day out. So one aspect of that is gone. Bought a nice velveteen-ish jacket at Salvation Army - eight dollars - it is pitiful wh ...

A woman I met some weeks ago gave me a recipe for crustless pumpkin pie. I went on line and found one which varied somewhat from hers. (She uses egg beaters and Splenda in her recipe because her husband is diabetic, etc.) The recipe I used was perfect! If anyone would like to try it (maybe for next season) I will gladly share it. It is great not having to worry about making a perfect crust, which is not my strong point. I never heard of a cru ...

If you watch this video of a Muslim-American (comedian) saying goodbye to America at the RNC (because of Trump's purported measures to ban Muslims and make a Muslim registry) you will see that the people he meets there are so nice and loving. I am just amazed that they go for Trump, who is certainly not a good person at all. I just think this video represents the repeated claim that there are not as many differences in people as there are similarities, that Americans on the whole ARE good ...

Interesting account of the wannabe Commander in Chief: Cannot conceive of how ANY U.S. veteran with a mind would consider voting for this charlatan and scam artist.

Went from 1-A to 1-Y allegedly because birthmarks on his heels precluded his serving. DID NOT prevent him from active athletics in college, however. We vets are bring exploited. Now, ...
