VP Debate

Interesting theater. Watching two campaigns conduct recon by fire. Waiting for poll results.

I should have spent the 90 minutes masturbating to internet porn....
...at least I'd have something to show for it by now.


Oh, and between his crazy hairline and that sneering smile of his Kaine looks like Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the joker.

And to think that Kaine is a sitting US Senator...much less a possible VP.

That dude is weak.

...the title US senator isnt really all that impressive in and of itself...

Hell, "Stuart Smalley" is a sitting US senator. Kaine is equally as full of shit.


Thats primarily what most of them do anyway......SIT
Pretty hard to fuck that up.

When O chose Biden as his running mate he set the bar pretty low. Kaine strikes me as a chunkier version of Uncle Joe, both are idiots.

He is simply serving as her "cannon fodder" to draw some fire and take some hits while throwing a few little jabs at Trump. He is a puppet.

Pence clearly was the better of the two last night. He was poised, calm, professional...dare I say presidential.

When even my wife, who hates politics with a passion, is shooting down Kaine's attacks, that tells me the senator from my home state leaves a lot to be desired.

Trump made a great pick. Hillary chose a chihuahua.

I am not meaning at all to start a religious discussion, but as a pro-life Catholic, I am becoming increasingly disappointed by Tim Kaine's constant sound bytes about how he is a "devout Catholic" and yet, he has no problem with promoting abortion, same-sex marriage, and other issues as public policy that are contrary to Catholic teaching (but will gladly point out how he and the Church agree on the death penalty, as he did last night). He is trying to have his cake and eat it too as far as I'm concerned. The man wastes no opportunity to talk on and on about how he was taught by Jesuits and was a missionary and frankly, it is getting a bit nauseating. I give him all due credit and respect for his mission work, but it seems as though he is now using it to score political points.

It pains me to say this, but I am fairly certain that the majority of my fellow Catholics will once again vote Democratic in this election and hence could be a decisive reason why there might be a President Hillary Clinton in January. I'd say we have a long history of liberal, dissenting Catholic politicians like Cuomo, Ted Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Biden and now Kaine to thank for sustaining this stubborn demographic bloc...

It seems the only things the liberals took from the debate is Pence's "Mexican thingy...."

I bet you Slick Willy perked up when he heard Pence state he tries to spend some time on his knees every day...

Very few times in my life have I been so irritated by someone as I was with Kaine during this debate. He was like a little fang toothed yapping dog without any respect for his opponent. A couple times I jumped out of my recliner to choke him off.

Actually it was so bad I woke up at 1:30 with my teeth grinding about his antics and couldn't get back to sleep for an hour just steaming. Is this what the politicians have stooped to?

Ditto on his stance to push abortions even though he claims a strict religious background. He has no respect for the innocent aborted lives lost.

Sen kaiNe does seem to do a lot of bragging about his devout catholic upbringing for a guy that represents the party of late term abortions, and free gender reassignment surgery for US service members.
...I wonder if he was ever an altar boy

Maybe Catholicism has changed since I started going to non-denominational churches
