Get a grip folks, & stop comparing the debate to a ball game [View all]

[Philosoraptor]

I don't follow sports, baseball, basket, foot, etc., but many of the pundits compare the presidential race and the debates to baseball games, with a winner and a loser and the inevitable disappointments when your 'team' loses the game, this is not a damn football game, this is politics.

Debates don't decide elections anyway, let's not make it more important than it really is. Besides, these aren't real Lincoln/Douglas debates anyway, I wish they were, these are just excercises in showing who the candidates are to the public, and they are largely ineffective.

Stop thinking about the debate as if it were organized sports with a clear winner and loser, but if you just can't think of politics in any other way than with a sports slant, then relax, there are two more so called debates.

Get a grip folks, all is not lost for Christ's sake. I think our man, the man I voted for yesterday, is getting another four years to work FOR the people, he's the better man, the right man for the job, and I believe in him, fuck the debate and fuck all the talking heads, and finally, fuck all the naysayers and fuck everyone who is dumping on the President, he needs us now, and God knows we need him.
