[lillypaddle]

1. There's a number of threads going on

I'm trying to kick 'em all! The more, the merrier!

[cali]

4. didn't see the others or I wouldn't have posted this one.

Oh well.

[quinnox]

2. this thread has the best headline

[cali]

12. thanks. Mittwit's pre-debate meal is so disgusting

that it made an indelible impression. I wonder if he washed down that vile meal with his favorite molten chocolate milkshake?

[Peregrine Took]

31. I wonder if he really ate that or did they just want it to get out to make him

look loose and not nervous.

An uptight person could never eat all that.

[Whisp]

3. I am really nervous. I need beer!

can't eat now, I'd throw up.

[cali]

7. I'm drinking white wine spritzers

keeping it light.

[DollarBillHines]

10. Come on over, I have plenty.

And I am switching to Bourbon when the Show starts.
DBH

[Whisp]

13. thanks, I needed that.

I wonder what colour ties they will be wearing.

Obama Blue, Mittsy Red?

[DollarBillHines]

19. For some reason, I think they will both wear blue.

Obama, because he looks really good in blue.

romney, because some idiot on his staff told him blue goes over well with "those people".

[Cha]

27. Lol..this is win/win

for you

[lillypaddle]

11. Wish I couldn't eat

I can ALWAYS eat! LOL

[Curtland1015]

5. I bet RMoney pukes up 47% of his dinner.

[rocktivity]

6. Al Sharpon has got it right

Obama has to figure out how to win by being Presidential without being cocky, aggressive without being an "angry black man," and able to hold the Rethug Congress accountable for their sins without coming across as being unable to control them.

It's his to lose, indeed.

[WI_DEM]

8. Good luck, Mr. President!

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Mitt's had me throwing up for months - now it's his turn.

[chknltl]

14. sharing the popcorn

[onehandle]

15. Ann Romney has clearly been sucking on lemons. nt

[NYC Liberal]

16. Checking in!

[cali]

17. Jim Leher talking to the Auditorium Audience now

[cali]

18. t-5 and counting. Man, I'm nervous.

Wish I had a Mitt Romney voodoo doll to stick pins in.

[DollarBillHines]

25. Visualize, cali, visualize.

More spritzers!

You can do it!

I am totally confident.

Remember, timing is everything. Ya gotta lead a little.
DBH

[cali]

29. Thanks, DBH! I needed that.

[DollarBillHines]

43. Go for it!

I always read your posts.

You are my favorite rusty blade.

Rusted, jagged and dangerous.

Visualize.
DBH

[WI_DEM]

20. Rachel: Romney likes debating and if they look like there having a good time--we like them.

puke!!

[DCBob]

21. Obama should make some comments about the road kill restaurant story.

That would probably send Willard swiftly to the turlet.

[powergirl]

22. Do you think he really ate that or was he

trying to be the "cool" regular dude. He probably had a Pelligrino or something.

[cali]

24. I think he has that kind of taste. I bet that's what he actually had.

[oviedodem]

23. Well Mitt, you have debated "Dumbo", "Larry", "Curley", "Mo", and "DoDo"; time to step into the bigs

[Cali_Democrat]

26. Good luck, Mr. President

[Tigress DEM]

28. This whole NO APPLAUSE people NO BOOS people shit is disgusting.

SURE we shouldn't overpower the speakers, but they should plan time enough for rounds of applause or jeers.

Gestapo much?

[cali]

34. I like it. I don't want to be distracted by the audience.

Overuse of the word 'Gestapo' much?

[Peregrine Took]

36. I hate that. Let the audience roar and boo! n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

30. The Knockout Punch has to be Medicare

If Rmoney has his way Medicare will be out of money by 2016. Yes, 2016... the next time we gather to vote for a President.

It is a one and done situation.

It should be presented that way.

If Rmoney has his way Medicare will be out of money before we have a chance to vote the guy out of office.

People need to grasp that fact. I hope Pres. Obama drives it home tonight.

[taterguy]

32. Anyone who posts in this thread is DTM

My thread is the official one

[msanthrope]

37. The one you started yesterday morning? This wasn't Journey tickets, you know--you didn't have to

camp out.

[snooper2]

38. Your thread sucks you posted it a day early

talk about blowing your wad too soon LOL

[taterguy]

44. Alerting, public douchebaggery

[msanthrope]

33. That looks like a Death Row last meal. nt

[snooper2]

35. 8:00 CST debate starting

Mitt just pissed a little in his pants standing on the side getting ready to come out

[snooper2]

39. I like Jim's tie

[spanone]

40. heeeeeeeeere we go

[snooper2]

41. Jim made debate question selections, some from Internet submissions, questions not sent to campaigns

[bullwinkle428]

42. Mitt strides to the podium. CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCREMENT??!?!?

[snooper2]

45. first question jobs, what are major differences between two of you on creating jobs

[cali]

46. President Obama dominates that greeting exchange

by placing his hand on Mittwit's upper arm as they greet.

[rocktivity]

47. Mitt's ALREADY in trouble!

His mechanical walk and handshake -- is his underwear too tight?


rocktivity

[RoccoR5955]

77. That's MAGIC underwear Bucko! n/t

[snooper2]

48. Mitt's got the smirk on

fucking piece of shit..(just had to get that out)

[Indpndnt]

49. Thank God they're wearing the right color ties. Now I can tell them apart! Red=Willard. Blue=Obama.

Phew!

[Plaid Adder]

50. Here we go.

So far Obama's opening spiel not setting my hair on fire. Not sure I can stand listening to Mitt. We'll see if my head explodes.

Plaid Adder

[KharmaTrain]

80. Imagine They Held A Debate And No One Zinged...

All the hype...we're expecting jello wrestling. The corporate media's nightmare...a debate with no soundbites...

Cheers...

[spanone]

51. 'tender topic' there's your fucking empathy

[Gregorian]

52. Obama takes control by framing just what Rmoney believes in.

As in, cutting taxes to try and improve the economy.

[Gregorian]

60. And now it's Mitt's story time. America is messed up. Vote for me and I'll make it better.

[cali]

53. He looks so weird.

so now he's going for sob stories.

[cali]

59. Mitt is really nervous.

[snooper2]

54. oh here we go, Rmoney is going to say the economy is totally in the shitter..

but he's wrong, of course..

[RoccoR5955]

55. Where's the beer?

And wtf is that pin that Robme has on? It's not the American flag? What is it, the Mormon flag?

[demo dutch]

56. Oh yawn romney!

[rocktivity]

57. ECONOMIC PATRIOTISM!

You're NOT going to cut taxes for the rich?

He's sticking with is five-point plan -- he STILL doesn't get it! This is already over!


rocktivity

[Indpndnt]

58. Willard's flag pin is very distracting. It looks like it has a hole in it.

I can't listen to him. I keep hearing Charlie Brown's teacher whenever he speaks. "Wah-wah-wha-wha-whaaaaaa."

[Honeycombe8]

62. Glad I don't have HD. I see no hole. In the flag pin, that is. nt

[bullwinkle428]

76. I have an old piece of crap TV, and the dark spot on the pin is very obvious.

[Honeycombe8]

97. I'm older and sitting farther away, I guess. All I see is some light colored square on my 32" tube.

It's much bigger than Obama's pin, so I guess he's more patriotic. (sarcasm)

[RoccoR5955]

67. It looks like a combination

of the US and Japanese flag, as far as I can see.

[rocktivity]

61. "Let me talk specifically about what I intend to do"

which Mitt can't. Knockdown Obama!


rocktivity

[treestar]

66. Rmoney doesn't know what a small business is

another lie!

[lib2DaBone]

63. Train for what jobs out there?

McDonalds?

[snooper2]

64. Obama is starting slow, holding back the gut punches I think

[WinkyDink]

65. WHICH THREAD IS "OFFICIAL"?

[cali]

68. not this one.

it's the junk food edition.

[Tigress DEM]

69. Declaration of Independence on the wall behind (part)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

[spanone]

70. taxes up romeny lying

[RoccoR5955]

71. Did Willard just say President Ryan again? n/t

[Tigress DEM]

72. HEY! Romney JUST DISCOVERED THE MIDDLE CLASS!!

[Gregorian]

73. Uh oh. Obama has the zinger! Trillions in tax cuts. That algebra just doesn't work.

[cali]

74. time to scream: I HATE THIS FUCKER

[Honeycombe8]

75. He's changed his tune AGAIN. Who is this "I'm for the middle class" "the rich will do fine" Romney?

[Plaid Adder]

78. aaaaand now Mitt is talking about shit nobody cares about.

And "crushed" appears to be the word of the day.

[ecstatic]

79. OMG. I can't handle 2 mins of Rmoney talking

without interruption. Wow. I hate this format!

[PCIntern]

81. Romney is sprinting...

He's gonna run outa gas soon...

[cali]

82. This energy independence crap is such lying bullshit.

at least when it comes to drill baby drill.

[Gregorian]

83. Rmoney- I don't want to cut taxes that reduce revenue to the gov't. YIKES. That's a big lie.

[rocktivity]

89. And he SAID he wouldn't

no matter what the math says!!!


rocktivity

[cali]

84. Goddamnit. Leher just lett fuckwad steamroll him.

[ecstatic]

91. Agreed. WTF? Romney keeps getting the floor

uninterrupted????? And Lehrer interrupts Obama seconds into his rebuttal??? Again WTF?

[Indpndnt]

85. Interrupting Jim? Not a good strategy, Willard.

Viewers won't care for that. Unless they're freepers, of course.

[maryellen99]

86. Anybody notice that when the President is speaking

Romney is laughing at him?

[RoccoR5955]

87. Robme wants coal!

Coal is dirty. There is no such thing as "clean coal." He wants to pollute the planet more, and to hell with renewable energy.

[begin_within]

88. Mitt's defensive

[powergirl]

90. It didn't take long for Romney to get all pissy. n/t

[Indpndnt]

93. Yeah. Great!

[Gregorian]

92. Romney is a bullshitter. This is his biggest strength. Obama can only just look on with disdain.

[spanone]

94. mr romney, are you lying now or have you been lying your entire campaign?????

[sfpcjock]

95. Here's the Huge "small business tax lie of Mitt's again

It's for S-Corp big businesses with a ton of revenues to swamp real small business. Small business already got 18 tax cuts from Obama, as he mentioned.

[Indpndnt]

96. Willard's got his smirk on already. The smirking smirker who smirked.

He can't help himself. Yay!!!!

[KansDem]

98. Goddamn it! Reducing taxes on small business IS NOT going to increase employment!

Small business owner ARE NOT going to hire someone if their business doesn't increase. Does Romney want us to believe that they will hire someone to just stand around? NO!!!

Only an increase in demand for products and services will result in an increase in employment!!!

[ecstatic]

101. exactly nt

[Plaid Adder]

99. So...Mitt Romney's plan is to confuse Obama by pretending to be a completely different candidate?

This appears to be the strategy so far.

[cali]

100. wow. it's clear that these two men hate each other.

[mvd]

105. Kind of symbolizes the divide in this country, doesn't it?

The President is doing fine based on the little I could watch. Romney's body language is awful.

[KansDem]

106. Mitt is rude...

Keeps interrupting the President and the moderator.

Obama has class!

[Tigress DEM]

108. I think Obama is disgusted with him.

Like a Dad watching someone's kids lie through their teeth.

[Kablooie]

102. Mitt has a strange combination of love and hate on his face when staring at Obama.

[ecstatic]

103. Mitt is psycho nt

[cali]

104. I'm sputtering. How dare that bastard shithead pull this shit?

[Tigress DEM]

107. Romney's GONNA KICK BIG BIRD OUT ON THE STREET!! rofl

[Tigress DEM]

109. I HATE ROMNEY.

[RoccoR5955]

113. Hate is a bit strong

I just find him a poor excuse for a human being.

[cali]

114. no, it's not. It's about right.

[Tigress DEM]

116. I don't normally watch liars without having this visceral type of reaction. I don't have a TV.

It happened in the *ush era. I've just lost it when watching these types.

I will settle down, but at this moment, I feel what I feel. He's SO insincere. He's such a sleaze.

[Tigress DEM]

117. ROBME had 82% DEM Congress and got COOPERATION. Does he SEE what he just said?

[Tigress DEM]

118. OK. Nasty man is gone. Love my enemy. Ewww. Love my enemy. Sigh.

OK. At LEAST don't HATE him.

Step one. He ain't worth the energy. Got better things to do.

Thought. He is a danger to himself and others. Ryan is worse. Any chance they'll be wearing little white jackets with sleeves tied up in back before Nov 6?

Would I save his life or let a Mack Truck hit him if I happened to have the ability to do so? Only if he promises to move back to Mexico and stay there.

Working on it.

I'm sorry. After that debate I feel like I need a long shower. My brain has been violated by all the untruth and Leher is such a little weeny.

Obama. The grownup in the room was amused but disgusted. I should aim for that. No hate, just disgust over the lying and rudeness and pathetic whimpering.

[Gregorian]

110. If Obama rips the trachea right out of Mitt's throat, can he then pardon himself?

That's about the only thing I want to see right now.

[Gregorian]

115. Romney doesn't want to subsidize renewable energy technology. He can't understand why Obama does.

This alone makes him unworthy of office.

[Tigress DEM]

111. Obama wants a balanced approach. NO WONDER Robme doesn't get it.

He's not really a balance chap.

[RoccoR5955]

112. So Robme is gonna raise the minimum wage

so that people can make more at McDonald's?
