Best lie of the night had to have gone to JibJeb. When asked in an interview he stated *Had a good time Believe we all had a good time*. Must not take much to show the Schiavo killer a good time. Oh sorry, the word was ‘line’ oops~ carry on

While President, Teddy Roosevelt stepped in to give away the bride to FDR at his wedding (her father had just been killed).

FDR then campaigned *against* President Teddy Roosevelt.

Teddy Roosevelt was Eleanor Roosevelt's uncle and guardian. Her father, Teddy's brother, had died of alcoholism. FDR supported Teddy Roosevelt's re-election in 1904.

Read the excellent book "Eleanor and Franklin" by Joseph Lash.

I believe Obama’s trying to inspire the Bubba effect where armed citizens start taking matters into their own hands. He will then have a reason to confiscate arms. Once we are disarmed we are slaves.

I was at work, so I did’t get to watch the debate, but my husband said that this line was a great tension-reliever, but the moderators did’t seem to think it funny! LOL!

So this morning I see on FOX telling us the best line in the debate was when Carly quoted some old Maggy line, something about “if you want something talked about, ask a man, if you want something done, ask a woman.”

... hmmm, ok if your a Brit, but this was NOT the best line of the debate, I barely recall Carly saying it to be frank. I mean, it is sort of like putting a bowl of kibble on the floor and then saying:

“if you want something talked about this kibble, ask the Pet Food Company, if you want done with the kibble, ask a racoon.”

I mean, yes, a racoon will eat the kibble done.

But son will a dog.

Well, actually, if you leave the bowl of kibble out on the back porch, then the kibble will get done by a racoon. Or if you leave a door from the outside to the kitchen open at twilight and you go into the bedroom to look for your car keys, and then you come back into the kitchen to heat up some coffee, and there just might be a racoon eating the bowl of kibble on the floor.

I suppose.

But Carly’s line really make much sense. Is she saying she is the only candidate on the stage that could get “something done” because she is a woman? That’s lame. It is also an endorsement for Hillary. How much did Hillary “get done”?

I think what Carly needs to do is get that cold sore blister on her lower left lip done. It was sort of distracting.

Then I have to listen to the blond girl on FOX then go on, while “interviewing” Rubio the new defacto establishment candidate now that Bush broke the camel’s back and is totally finished after Jeb’s performance in the debate yesterday, “what’s going to done about Trump” - as if it is her and the rests job to get something “done” about Trump.

What the hell is that suppose to mean, and who is she working for? Get something done? Or was she still tweeking on the Maggy quote from Carly Cold Sore? She’s all enthusiastic about Rubio, and how what needs to be done about Trump.

But Rubio is a man, too, albeit a kid. This blondie was sort of like an omelet with a cake of sugar on top - I wasn’t hungry to eat her breakfast.

Then something about some “focus group” which liked Cruz, but hallelujah, a bunch of them have “changed their vote” (changed from whom?) and after this debate are now voting for the establishment candidate Chris Christie.

Really? Do they all belong to the same bowling team?

This is really beyond stupid. Now this guy who comes on every couple of hours, “Howie” or something is his name, to give a disgusting face and confused D.C. narratives attacking Trump, his line doesn’t even make sense. When is Karl Rove up next? The best way to throw the election to Hillary is to listen to this two time loser and McConnell-boy establishment grub.

Get the moth balls out.

No. Incorrect.

“I would use the reserve quote.”


I think that you meant to write “the *reverse* quote.” Or maybe you were talking about baseball’s Reserve Clause? : )

Speaking of which, your White Sox got some power at 3B now. But I prefer my Cubs’ additions ....

Cut it to anyone who can get above 10% in the polls, that would leave three or four at the most.

The amount of candidates on that stage getting less than 3% was ridiculous.

INSTANT FRIENDS!!!!! :)

Required viewing where I live lol.

Truth is he wouldn’t be in charge of the major decisions as president. He’d be a puppet on a string.

Good trade for the Sox, 3B has been a black hole for the team.

Good additions for the Cubs (I’m firmly on the bandwagon), Heyward, Lackey, Zobrist. I’d still like to see them get another front line starting pitcher.

William Jennings Bryan and Teddy Roosevelt never ran against each other. The Democrat nominee against Roosevelt in 1904 was Alton Parker.

William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was an American orator and politician from Nebraska, and a dominant force in the populist wing of the Democratic Party, standing three times as the Party’s candidate for President of the United States (1896, 1900 and 1908).

FDR campaigned for WJB in 1904, unsuccessfully.
