Not all forums. The drinking has been ongoing down the street at the bar. So far a few skirmishes here and there, but no true brawls yet.
I haven't been in the bar yet this morning but a few there should even be thrown out of the bar, IMO.
I had no desire to watch the debate last pm....would rather spend a couple of hours enjoying life instead of measuring my BPWatched Smokey and the Bandit instead and had a wonderful time remembering that era of my life...
I skipped this one too. But I've seen much about it on Fb. Poor Big Bird.

Me, too. I just wish that Fred Armisen would be there to do his Obama impression.

I consider myself a moderate republican only because there is not a relevant third party utilizing ideals of both the democratic party and the republican party. I believe in separation of church and state. I believe in more local government and less federal government. I do not believe in extremism hiding behind "principle". I do not believe in no compromise "contracts". This brings me to the tea party who are extemist IMO. I do share their ideals of fiscal conservatism (balance the budget) however they are very intolerant of those that do not share their ideal for christian conservatism which brings me to Mitt Romney. After this debate it looks like Mitt is back in the race and has a very good chance of winning the election IMO. I was raised a Babtist but I am very open and tolerant of religious freedom which is something that the tea party can not tolerate. I am wondering how does the tea party reconcile Mitt's religious beliefs? Mormons believe in more than one God, does not put full authority in the Bible, has a different concept of God and the list of differences go on an on. Many conservative people I talk to (family, friends and customers) believe that Obama is the antichrist because of confusion over his connections to Islam yet Mitt has real unchristian beliefs. It seems that Americans in general either support Obama or actually hate and despise him. Has this divide ALWAYS existed between democrats and republican because it seems that there are more extremism in the two parties? Or is it because of this religious intolerance? It seems to me that if it is because of religious intolerance that the tea party has lost one of their most sacred ideals in Mitt. I do believe that MR did a very good job in this debate and I only hope he believes his own words and continues toward a moderate platform that will bring this country back together.
