These Debates make me laugh. As if I'm watching stand up on comedy central.

I've been around for a while. I'm not a youngster. In fact I think everyone else is a youngster compared to me but maybe that's just how I feel. Anyways I just thought I would get that cleared up so I wouldn't see any "stupid kid" comments.

These debates are very entertaining to me. Don't you think? Isn't supposed to be where you see the true colors of the president / governor. It really gives them a chance to connect to the voter. Would you agree?

Why do I think this is so funny then. I mean shouldn't this be serious? And taken serious. Those people asking the questions on the second debate seemed serious. I honestly feel bad for them.

Lets explore.

How do you think Obama or Romney would respond to a questions like this. (I'm making this up on the spot but lets pretend they didn't know that). "Mr. President and or Gov Romney, I am a child Psychologist Derrik Jones and I want to know if you are aware of this issue. Our tv system is filled with extremely bad content that are children and even babies are being exposed too. Our internet is also letting our children under the age of 18 view website material that is for adults only. Our children are the future of this nation and are receiving a terrible start because of all this material that is poisoning their brain at such an early age where they are most susceptible by what they see and hear. What policies are in place or going to be placed regarding this matter? Do you even care about this? What is your plan to resolve this?"

Now. Everyone (if you have a brain) knows what the answer is. HOWEVER. Let's see what Obama would say if this was asked while he was on live tv during this debate. Keep in mind. Obama now knows that I, the question asker, is a Psychologist meaning I know way more about what goes on in the brain development then he does. Second. He knows that the question involves the well being of peoples CHILDREN which means it has hit an emotional part of the voter. Now he must connect.

Obams - "Thank you for your question Dr. Jones. I am very aware of this problem, and I care very much about our children and the future of this nation. I actually have been working on this for the last 4 years. I've been going to families homes and working with the community to help put a stop to some of the programs that are on tv. We are making sure that all the service providers come with built in parental control to filter all the bad things on tv. We are doing the same with the internet. We are working on polices that internet service providers will have to automatically filter adult content when a child is on the computer. I care very deeply about our children and our families which is why I visit them daily. We as Americans need to grow and grow together starting with our children."

Romney - (since he is second to answer this time he has to play ball just like Obama does when he answers second) - "Thank you very much. Great question Dr. Jones. Let me first start by saying Obama hasn't been working on any polices for this. In fact. He has investments with these type of companies and he would never think about jeopardizing that. I have an extreme care for our children and the future of this nation. I have a 23 million step plan to get us to a bright future. Blah blah blah SOMETHING ABOUT BINDERS FULL OF CHILDREN BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH."

I didn't cut romneys answer short because I don't like him, but because I got lazy and I hope thats enough for my point (if you have a brain it should be).

Anyways. Am I not right? Keep in mind this is a question that I just made up during this post. You can plug in any question for this scenario.

Now whats the answer to the question? OH YA. PARENTS BE BETTER PARENTS AND DO YOUR JOB. PARENT YOUR CHILDREN. RIGHT!?!?!? thats the answer. BUT Obama didn't say that. Nor did Romney? WHY? BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO CONNECT TO THE VOTER AND MAKE THEM THINK THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO OR ALREADY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT EVERYONES ISSUE OR WHAT YOU THINK IS AN ISSUE.

Don't believe me?

Take in these two questions from debate 2.

How are you going to make sure women get paid the same as men for the same job?
You remember these answers i'm sure from obama and especially romney.

Whats the TRUE ANSWER: You can't. A business owner reserves the right to pay you whatever they want (except below minimum wage) for the job you are applying for. If you shake hands on $40k a year regardless of your age or sex as a paralegal, then thats what you get. Just because you find out later that Jimmy is making $70k a year and is also a paralegal doesn't mean you should get $70k. If you don't like your pay, get another job!! If Bob has been working for a company for 30 years and makes $100k as a accountant, and Susan comes in all the sudden is a newly hired accountant, and she is started at $70k, would that be considered fair since Bob has devoted so many years to the company? YES. Do you think Susan would think this is fair? YES SHE WOULD. There are to many properties and circumstantial conditions that could result in different pays to different people (MALE AND FEMALE) for the same JOB. FOR EXAMPLE. Family comes first right? So if someone in the family, lets say its a man just for argument sake, is a welder for the family steel company, and Amanda is also a welder, would it make sense to pay the family member more money? This is up to the owners of the business, but YES it would make sense. Point is what I said in the first sentence. Ladies please don't feel like I don't think you deserve the same pay. I am just referring to the President and the Governors ANSWERS. They aren't telling us the TRUTH. They are full of themselves. As are all politicians. Watch the movie the Ides of March. Great movie.

Question 2

How are we going to convince a great american company like Apple to stop manufacturing in China and bring that here.
You remember there answers...almost nothing to do with the question after about 3 sentences (just like every single answer like the GUNS on the street question)

True Answer: You most likely WON'T. Business is not about helping others. It's about making money. How do I know this? I am a broker that sells research chemicals for a pharmaceutical company that will one day will turn into new drugs for dr.s to use to "help" the American people which will one day kill thousands and make their health problems worse not better (just a little truth about pharmaceuticals if you didn't know). BUT I make a GREAT income and to me, it's just business. I don't decide what to do with the products. Meaning its not on my hands. Its not PERSONAL. Funny thing is, it all comes from CHINA. They make pharmaceuticals way cheaper and faster. (china is responsible for a huge % of the US pharmaceuticals that are killing people everyday and its all about money blah blah blah huge thing no one knows about) If you can better your company by outsourcing, then companies will do it. You can't stop it by rewarding them to create American jobs. I agree with Romeny on the fact that Government doesn't run business and what not. He's right. They can't make Business in the US succeed they can only encourage it.


These are just the two of the questions that stood out to me regarding there BS answers. Screw Republicans, Screw Democrats. They are both equally corrupt and we don't need a leader who can't have BOTH. At least Romney has experience dealing with democrats and making compromise.
