   [McCain would] also be wise to learn from the mistakes he made at the townhall debate in regards to manners and temperament.

   I appreciate your point of view, MJ, as you did it without being catty.

   I would disagree, however, with your assessment of McCain’s manners. Obama had similar challenges with being polite in the last two debates. I believe his “I want to respond to that” bullying on Brokaw was a bit belligerent.

   McCain has a reputation of being a hot head and we have not seen much of that in the debates. If anything, many of us conservatives have been (as I’m sure you’ve noticed) unimpressed by his lack of desire to go on offense. He’s been over-cautious, not rude.

   Much of what we heard post debate about manners was a lot of spin. If all you heard was the talking heads, you would think that when McCain said “that one” his eyes were glowing red, the room was deafened by his thunderous voice and fire shot from his finger tip.

   Just my $0.02.

   Rum/Gin (not clear on the proportions, however) + flavoring appears to the recommended neuron killer of choice. Unfortunately, my doctor forbids me to drink. Come election night, however, I will likely have serious reservations about wanting to wake up the next morning so I may hit the sauce regardless. Some of these recipes look like they might do the job nicely.

   There is always black tar heroin…. price should come down nicely since the border will be even wider open than it is now. Hell it probably won’t even be illegal after the Dems get finished.

    What I still cannot understand is how, how did McCain get the nomination in the first place? Who voted for him? Why? And why are those who gave him the nomination surprised now by his campaign and how horrible he has been? He has never been a conservative, ever! I swear this is Bob Dole redux!

    I think it’s time to start a CONSERVATIVEparty, to hell with Republicans. Un-be-lievable!!

    I get what you’re saying. I just thought he was a slightly rude. Rightly or wrongly he has the grumpy old man reputation, and I think he’d be wise to avoid perpetuating it. I should add that in the first debate he refused to look at Obama. Small things like this effect viewers on a psychological level. History shows us that these things can have an impact:
    Bush I- looking at his watch.
    Gore- sighing in a dismissive manner.
    Obama- “you’re likeable enough Hillary”

    The small stuff factors into the overall experience.IMHO Oh well, happy viewing.

    I haven’t had a drink since 1996 but I remember my favorite recipe. I’ve never tried Tanduay rum from Philippines but I’m sure it will work just fine. I used to use Barcadi myself. I’d fill a glass with Barcadi…..usually 151, and add a splash of coke for color and after a few of those I didn’t care who was president. I also used to drink beer until it got to the point it just wasn’t strong enough and my very favorite was San Migal and it was made in Philippines too. I do however thank God for taking that ugly habit from me. If you can drink responsibly, more power to you but my brakes didn’t work good at all. Enjoy the debate tonight people and please pray for McCain/Palin!!!

    I wonder what the laws are on that.

    Curses! Its school play night….

    Its a tough decision as to which one will be more entertaining.

    Hmmm, guess I will go ahead and start early tonight. Because right after the play, its Guitar Hero Wednesday at the local brew pub!

    We’ll start easy with Bloody Marys and move up to Long Islands as the night progresses. I’ll have the barkeep sprinkle some nutmeg in honor of the Hotel Teatro – conveniently located across from the Denver Center for Performing Arts, 1100 Fourteenth Street Denver, CO. Stop in and say Hey!!

    my very favorite was San Migal

    Ahh, San Migals…. made with formaldehyde and every batch is a different consistency..

    I was thinking tonight I would just keep to gin, but if it starts spiraling out of control, I may be inclined to start using crack.
    Then, I would become a grass roots community organizer and register everyone in the metrophoenix area as Secessionist Party Members.
    Might be a good start at a new venue.

    mmmmmmm Sam MaGoo! Uncle Sam wouldn’t send me to the Philippines no matter how hard I tried (My uncle was a missionary on Mindinao for 60+ years and I wanted to meet him) but just about everywhere in the world I found San Miguel. The best was in Spain.

    I don’t drink anymore, but maybe one San Miguel for old times sakes… and a memory of those Senorittas…
