Our kids watch us long before they watch politicians. We are the one who teach them to be respectful by our examples.
And hence the name. After BiteMe's performance last night would you really want to see the angry, disrespectful fvcking a$$hole as president? He gives VP a bad name.

I hope Obama acts just the same as Joe in the next debate. Fire up his base. And turn off the moderates and independents
Have to agree. When Obuma/Biteme don't have any worthwhile arguments, act like an a$$ and show ineptness. That will show everyone.
Good manners & learning to show respect start at home. Look to the mote in your own eye.
