This is the most dysfunctional debate ever

[CoffeeCat]

... Because Mitt Rombey is making shit up and lying in a rambling froth.

How in the hell can we have intelligent rational discourse when this clown can't be honest about his own ideas!

He won't own up to his Medicare vouchers or his $4 billion tax cuts and so many other things!

What an insult to the American people and a waste of our time!

Obama wants to discuss the issues and speak the truth. Romney wants to sit in the sand box, repeatedly lie and blather on and on while saying nothing of value, nothing meaningful or of interest to the Anerican people.

[immoderate]

1. Yup.

[undeterred]

2. Its like a train thats gone off the tracks and just keeps rolling...

[fishwax]

3. the untimed format is a bit of a disaster, I think

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Agreed!

[hifiguy]

4. I have never seen anyone lie like this in my life.

The Mount Everest of lies. Any chance a piano will fall on Mitt Shitheel?

[CoffeeCat]

15. Where's the Road Runner when you...

...need him?? The man needs a truth anvil dropped on his giant mess if anchorman hair.

To deny your OWN policies and to lie about them is just dirty tricks.

Romney is a charlatan.

[renate]

6. I think he's winning the debate tonight

I hope the fact-checkers roast his behind tomorrow morning.

[WinkyDink]

10. Tomorrow and a dollar won't even get O. a cup of coffee.

[CoffeeCat]

16. What do you mean???

Do you think Obama is doing poorly???

[jleavesl]

20. Actually yeah,

Actually, yeah. To the uneducated, it seems like Obama is being called out and not refuting the argument.

[llmart]

7. I still say he's on something.....

That red-eyed look is freaking me out.

[Horse with no Name]

8. He is playing to his base

anyone with an ounce of sense knows that he is lying through his ass.

[Marr]

21. What about the other 98% of the population though?

lol, j/k

[WinkyDink]

9. Republicans know that Americans WATCH TV; they don't RESEARCH TV. I.e., LIES WORK AS WELL AS TRUTH.

[Johonny]

18. didn't work so well for the GOP convention

the internet fact checkers crushed them. It will hurt Romney again. Sure Fox and CNN will carry his water, but more and more the BS isn't working because people love those fact check sites.

[WinkyDink]

24. Really? Have we had the General Election yet?

[Generic Brad]

11. Are you referring to "The Mitt Romney Show"?

The one with special guest star, President Obama and featuring Jim Leher?

[wisteria]

12. Yep, say anything to get elected. Desperation comes to mind.

[graywarrior]

13. I feel like I've taken speed listening to him

[hifiguy]

19. Same here. It was literally freaking me out.

Had to switch to baseball.

[graywarrior]

22. Really, I need to take an Ambien tonight.

[gkhouston]

14. This is why we need fact-checkers *at* the debate, *during* the debate.

MSNBC should re-run the debate on Friday evening, pausing to point out lies or truth. Or maybe have a red thumbs down and green thumbs up for false and true statements superimposed over the debate, with detailed explanations available on the MSNBC website.

[Odin2005]

17. Robme is interrupting CONSTANTLY!

[Raine]

23. Horrible crappy format, Lehrer was crappy with no control over it. nt
