Whatever floats their boat, I Suppose. Still a free country....I think.

That I have the opportunity to call out their stupid behavior proves that this is still a free country.

After thinking about it came up with a hypothesis; they are attempting to take ownership of something negative from their past. Like how some oppressed groups use slurs among themselves. Which is hilarious on several levels.

I can't imagine what's wrong with those people, but something surely is. But I differ from your designation as a "gaffe". I think any performer who can use one lonely prop (the empty chair) and hold people's attention, and make a point, has done a GREAT job. As political theater I tip my hat. I still would not vote for that lying cretin who depends upon distortion of the facts to make his case. Jeep jobs to Italy or China? GM jobs to China? Lies, disproved by the corporations involved. If Romney had anything to offer, he would present it honestly, not try to mislead voters to get their support. Lower taxes for the wealthiest has nothing to do with jobs in the USA, because their money goes to their Bermuda, Swiss, and Cayman Island accounts. These foreign countries get the benefit from tax breaks for the wealthy; the money does not create American jobs. Deficit spending on actual domestic programs, such as infrastructure and new development, will stimulate employment far more than another tax reduction.

If it held your attention you're a far more patient man than I.

I watched again to make sure I was remembering it correctly. As a fan of Clint Eastwood as an actor if anything it was even more painful to watch today.

voting for DEMs in SC is like voting for GOPs in CA...a waste of time

ever wonder why 'No Democrat has won the white vote since 1964, the year President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.'

This is ludicrous! Obama's morals and ethics are just as strong as Romney! He is a solid Christian!

Obama talks about our responsibilities to be our brother's keeper, and sister's keeper, and our obligation to stand as a community. Romney talks about making sure those who have made their fortune are allowed to keep it. Who is the moral believer, and who is the "talk not actions" pharisee?

In the story of the destruction of Sodom it's important to note that Lot's first recourse when the mob approached asking him to turn over the angels/messengers of God/whatever your particular version of the OT calls them, was instead to offer up his daughters to the mob to do with as they pleased. Perhaps it's past time we stopped looking to a Bronze Age text for advice on how to structure a modern society in which all persons are supposed to be afforded the same rights, and in which women are no longer considered property, but actual people.
I really don't understand why so many people are so hung up on who someone else is attracted to. If you are against gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex. See it totally doesn't affect you at all. Bill I am not aware of any credible reporting on military chaplains actually being forced to perform same sex marriage ceremonies since the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, can you provide a link to a story about an actual case of it happening?

re: 'Throughout the Old Testament...'

'A new commandment I [Jesus] give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you...

'This commandment appears thirteen times in twelve verses in the New Testament. [...] The commandment can also be seen as the last wish in the Farewell Discourse to the disciples.'

so who you gonna believe...the OT or the NT

Jonathan Allen,
you have pointed out something that is disturbing about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. It gives us another reason to believe in the concept of the first amendment. The concept is that one person's view of religion is not a good basis for our laws. Many religions have had ideas and practices which are not acceptable. People may freely choose to follow those practices, but they should never be given the status of legal standards. Why did we ever give religious clergy the right to pronounce civil unions? If Obama wins this election, maybe no future presidential candidate will come out against civil rights for ALL people, regardless of whom they love and wish to marry. If Romney wins, we are a little closer to a theocracy, like the Arab/Muslim Middle East countries, and the first amendment takes a back seat.

Wow do I feel like I'm living in the dark ages. How narrow minded can you be? Who are you to judge another human being? People who are always spouting scripture seem to be the biggest hypocrites. Alright how about "John 8:7". But we should be talking politics and not religion; who would be better to run the country. I'm voting for a president not the next pope/religious leader.

Billy Graham also said Mormonism is a cult. Changing your religious views for political gain is a hallmark of a fascist. Hooray GOP!
