The debates are over and it’s about time. If this is the price for living in a democracy,
I’m glad I don’t live in one. The last debate was the debate of the smiley
face versus the serious face. Obama had a different face for each debate. Romney just
had the one---smiley face. In the first debate, Obama didn’t bring a face. He wasn’t there.
In the second debate he brought a smiley face like Romney, but it didn’t fit him. In the
last debate he brought his serious face, which sometimes bordered on annoyed. At one point
during the last debate, I thought Obama was going to turn to Romney and say, “Mitt,
you ignorant ***.” In the second debate, Romney said he had a
five point plan. He never named any of the points in his plan. That’s a good plan.
In the third debate Mitt Romney said he had a plan for the future, which he will tell
us about in the future. Romney said pay equity for women was an important
topic, but not to him. The first question in the foreign policy debate asked the candidates
what they would do if there was a threat from abroad. This sounds like a question for the
GOP! “You do what you’d do to any dame who gets out of line. You take away their
charge card! And their reproductive rights.” Romney has a bold plan for day 1 of his presidency:
"on day 1, I will name it day 2!" his five point plan has six points. I would prefer
9-9-9. Romney’s talking point on Benghazi was wrong,
but he kept going. “Go on.” That was the smiling Obama.
Romney wasn’t backing down from his debate prep. “That’s not how we rehearsed it!
I just want to make sure you repeat what you said because that’s not what your understudy
said in rehearsal.” “Go on.”
If Mitt Romney gets elected president, he’ll send a Mormon mission to Iran. That’ll get
them to disarm, or to zero in on a new target. Romney’s plan for Syria? It’s worth more
broken up. Romney wants to be the education president,
as long as the kids aren’t educated about him. "When I was Governor, our 4th graders
came out number C." When Mitt Romney talked about Israel, he started
rhyming: “If Israel is under attack, Mitt Romney has got your back. Word to your mother.
And would it kill you to call?” Mitt Romney said he was a son of a…you’re
darn right he is. At one point he referred to the audience as “folks” because he’s
“folksy.” Mitt said he wanted to be America’s leader, but he needed the support of American
voters and the support of magic underwear. I’m James Tripp and I’ll be back with
another Trippitorial. And remember, it’s never too late to buy
my book, the Hierophant. It’s available now at amazon.com in both a paperback and
kindle edition. It’s also available on barnesandnoble.com and other online booksellers.
