[Peace-discuss] ANNOUNCEMENT: An alternative to tonight's debate

[C. G. Estabrook]

And the Red Sox lost 14-2 ... too.

The best tweets I saw on this pathetic exercise tonight (the other one) included

Occupy Wall Street ‏@OccupyWallSt
There is no difference between the republicrats #debate2012 #samedude

David Swanson ‏@davidcnswanson
Never mind bailouts, taxcuts, militarism, corp trade, prisons, deportations, kill lists, he'd win if he'd look at camera! #ExpandTheDebate

Climate Progress ‏@climateprogress
Sad that a debate focused on domestic issues had nothing on #climate and little on environment. Let's break the #climatesilence!

Going to work for Jill Stein @MMFlint ...And the rest of us? What are WE doing tomorrow?

Matt Stoller ‏@matthewstoller
Tonight, Obama looked like an insulated bureaucrat surrounded by yes men. That's b/c he is an insulated bureaucrat surrounded by yes men.

Occupy Congress ‏@OCongress
And the winner of the #DenverDebate is Wall Street.

Anon Street Medics ‏@AnonMedics
Remember that time Obama held a fancy, expensive donor dinner while across the bay we got teargassed and shot at in Oakland? Memories.

Matt Stoller ‏@matthewstoller
Network should demand creative changes, new cast for next season of 'presidential debate'

VANITY FAIR ‏@VanityFair
Good LORD Obama wouldn't win a student council election against a chubby nerd with that closing argument.

Kevin Renfrow ‏@renfrowk
If Mitt gets belligerent in this debate then Obama can have him "imprisoned without trial" under NDAA. #NDAARuling #Decision2012 #debate2012

Mike Elk ‏@MikeElk
Most orwellian part of debate is when Romney criticizes Obama for cutting military, though Obama has expanded wars everywhere
