They Knew Who Won!

10/17/2012 4:11 PM

I know that psychiatry is a pseudo science and therefore not fit for these pages but...

Jimmy Kimmel went out during the day, before last night's presidential debate and asked people who won. Some of them knew the answer!

Haha, I love those. "There was some booin' right? For Romney? Yeah, that was a highlight for me." LOL I find it hilarious people would rather make things up rather than just admit they didn't watch it or are not interested. On the other hand, you've got to wonder how many people they actually interview and what percentage of them are like this.

And actually, I'm not sure if psychiatry is a pseudo science. Even if it was, as long as it doesn't get too crazy, political, or religious, you're probably fine. New Technologies & Research would probably be a good spot. Much of what used to be unclear, maybe even fringe, science decades ago is established today!

Of course they know. They know the exact same way any of the charlatan psychics know anything. All you have to do is show the ones that guessed something right. That is until one botches it. Then again it rarely takes only one mistake to get people to not believe.

Yes, like the Libya incident. Obama has removed that entirely from his speeches. He is distancing himself from it so hopefully people won't remember it come election day.

Both Candidates lied about that in the 2nd debate:

Romney's point about Obama's whereabouts was a lie.

Obama lied about saying that right from the beginning he said it was a terrorist attack.

The moderator admitted that she had lied about that as well when she was reading the transcript.

Do we really want Biden being one heartbeat away from being President?

I've watched them go around and ask people questions about the candidates such as "Do you think Obama's Mormon background will affect his Presidency?"

And the people asked figured Obama was Mormon and answered.

Really, the majority of people walking the streets have no clue. The reason why you might find more people that do have a clue is because you are asking people that are within your social circle that have similar level of intelligence that you do.

The Average person - NO! They are average because they don't pay attention.

Funny. Sorta.

Disappointing that they didn't know the event hadn't happened yet.

It's California.

It's was a liberal.

It could pass itself off as any CNN, MSNBC, or any other your typical media that passes itself off as news .......

And if you ask me....... Ronald Reagan humiliated Jimmy Carter last night. ;)

Probably not much different from what you get the next day. The media treats it as a sporting event.

I heard that Romney decked BO and then Romney went home with Michelle. What do you think about that incident at the debate?

I don't think so because even though Michelle might be a younger woman than Anne, Anne is still more appealing.

If you want to get legislation through on a liberal just attach the line that it is good for the environment to it and they will approve no questions asked. That is why California had a high gas price spike recently. We changed over to winter blend gas and we couldn't get fuel from outside sources because two of our refineries went down so we can't use out of state fuel.

What is ironic is that it was a Liberal measure and Diane Feinstien is going to get to the bottom of why it happened. She's on the November Ballot, her measure bit her in the butt and she's playing dumb.

Jerry Brown...most of the people that voted for him the first time he was in office must be dead because we elected him again 30 years later. But hey we get to recognize homosexuals in history in our schools now.

We mustn't forget that in recent news San Francisco tried to outlaw circumcisions.

All that great reputation California carries comes from San Francisco and Los Angeles, the people in the Central Valley share different beliefs with the exception of the illegals.

She's not playing....

Hey, schools are great there.......... there are so good at learning history, that it keeps repeating itself... because they never learn from it...

Of course not. We have Jerry Brown and Diane Feinsten and Nancy Pelose. What do you expect from the West Coast. Don't even get me started on Washington.

I've come to the conclusion that Liberals like damp rainy weather. Look at San Francisco and Seattle and Portland, Or. for that matter. Notice the States that are clearly colored Blue are States with the Largest Cities. Those Cities make up the majority of the population of the State. If you were able to color the states Red or Blue according to areas, you'd find the Blue only coloring in the bit city and the rest of the State would be Red.

You know the Blue states are the ones that have the high unemployment that drives up our unemployment percentages high over all. See all those Mid-West States, all red and all have the lowest unemployment percentages and they carry that mid-western work ethic that is so famous.

Yeah, you're so totally right about Portland OR! Freakoid Central! My oldest daughter lives there with her freaky artsy-fartsy boyfriend......she is as Libtard as they come, in no small measure thanks to my X. Well, the boyfriend who I've only met once has the wimpiest handshake this side of the Old Muddy....TOTAL wet noodle and can't look you straight in the eyes.

Maybe my 'Lil Girl told him too many stories, and as a result is scared chitless of me! hahahaha Probably the stuff about daddy being a Ranger once really sent him into a tailspin!!! hehehehehe

I don't believe a few people who don't follow the rules should ruin the thread. The OP wasn't political. Just because the president or an election gets mentioned doesn't mean the thread has to be closed for being too political. passingtongreen had the theme of psychology, why people reacted the way they did in the video, which is fine.

Then for more consistency, knock posts #10 and #11 off topic.

I would have posted the video that howard stern did on the very political unimformed, but, as much as that would have been in the theme of the original post. It would have reenforced the off topic posts that have been determined to have ruined this thread.

Actually the thread topic is about politics and opinions.

To be consistent just close the thread.

Quite frankly all the posts are on topic just because of the subject.

Furthermore, your first post was off topic by your definition, you you were in support of the Democrats and everyone else is posting in support of Republican.

So quite frankly, right now, you are abusing your position to promote your agenda and nothing to do with the rules.

Uh, I was quoting one of the people in the video. I then explained how I thought it was funny how people thought they had to make things up to make it appear that they had watched it. I couldn't care less who votes for who. The video could have been about if people saw a football game that hadn't been played yet. People still might have made things up.
