LOL THE FIST

[LowBudgetPuppets]

I'm glad that you can laugh at my predicament with such ease.

Someday, there may be an arm -your- butt that could give you migraines from cracking its knuckles, you might not find it as amusing anymore. :P

Thank you for viewing the reruns. ;)

YAAAHHHH !! SOCK PUPPETS !!!

[LowBudgetPuppets]

You know it. With about 10x the credibility of your average politician and 1/2 of the bleach...

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Thanks. We try, even with labor problems. ;)

I just watched Layla Kaleigh(OR Kayla Laleigh)interview...now a hand and a sock...i need a girlfriend

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Are you tossing off subverted spanking references as if you are master of this domain? :P

- The Sock

[LowBudgetPuppets]

I didn't realize you meant that girl was Interviewing Ron Paul. I didn't find that in search but then suddenly bumped into it at random. If that's the connection then oops I jumped to the conclusion to make a joke. I've suffered a few pervy sock jokes before (totally racist) and so was making that connection.

THE SOCK IS BACK!!!

BTW, since our last chat, I have indeed seen face-painted fanatic Ron Paul followers at rallies. No nearly about it.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

HAHA, I can imagine, I have seen photo/video of people in costume also. Of course it would be even more impressive if the hookers started running around in facepaint ;) :P

I'm going to laugh my ass off if that blimp starts flying around.

Nice to see you back. It's ironic that in your graphic of Fox the only character not having sex was the dog.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Belive me I had some not nice thoughts about where that dog could be, but thought that I ought maybe not use all my ammo at once. I also didn't bring the donkey and elepahnt into it. Maybe after the next FOX debate... ;)

[PiratePuppetMelba]

Another funny video. I love these. The graphs are great.

And yeah, I think Paul did the best in that debate. I found myself considering voting for him, strangely enough.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Thanks.

I wasn't crazy about his debate performance, and thought it was about 50-50, but in general it's hard to not look good in that crowd...

These primary forums/debates are totally slanted though (it's bad enough that everything is spoon-fed like the general election ones), so he got way less time (though maybe not as bad as some) than Rudy McRomney, which is unfortunate.

- The Sock

[PiratePuppetMelba]

Yes, I find myself wondering who is responsible for setting up the structure of these debates. Candidates should all get the same questions and enough time to answer them. Voting for whoever looks the best/has the largest budget for their campaign pretty much defeats the purpose. This isn't high school.

Luckily, they have some other Ron Paul interviews on YouTube so that I can explore this candidate's views a bit more.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

If eveything was internet based (although that poses other problems), at least there would be pretty equal access/opportunity, but since most people either still rely heavily on traditional media, or aren't actively seeking the information (as the web lends itself to), all of this is still important and VERY biased.

It's unfortunate, because there are others besides Paul who have the same problem, and God help any third-party candidates who aren't billionaires...

[PiratePuppetMelba]

Yes, it's just depressing when you stop to think about it for any length of time. Maybe that's why many Americans just don't think about it come voting time.

I think the internet is helping some of the candidates who maybe don't get the main-stream air time that the more popular/richer candidates get. Who knows, the next president may be elected because of his wisdom, integrity, and actual concern for the average American instead of how fat his pocket is.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

I think the net can be a potential evener but it has yet to come into it's own and it may yet just be co-opted yet again into the fold. I think it moves a lot slower than most people think/wish though. I think each time it will play more of a role. Last time Dean, this time Paul, next time ???

Please don't hold your breath on that last part ;) :P Fight the fight unless the sh*T hits the fan, then move to Canada...

[hellsunicorn]

lol, that was some funny stuff. I've been an avid role playing and video gamer since the late 80s and this was the perfect medium for articulating that farcical debate. I'm still backing Paul though, regardless of the congested Chat Rooms.

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Ha. Yeah oddly enough most of anything you can say that is to his detriment is really in criticism of the more fanatical supporters. He's a strange beast of the political world because the more he elaborates the more sense he makes. Most of the others are the opposite. You might notice that he doesn't take quite the blunt force trauma here as the others, and there's a reason ;)

[LowBudgetPuppets]

Leave a shout out or and insult. I will get back to anyone who isn't a 10th degree asshat as time allows.
