ROMNEY WITH THE BIG BIRD NAME DROP

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Fuck Elmo? This guy is hilarious.

 

[TheGreatDivide]

If you support PBS you support communism.

 

[speculawyer]

Jeez . . . Romney is basically just saying "I want to do more of what Bush did."

 

[ViewtifulJC]

DAMN YOU COME AT BIG BIRD YOU COME AT ALL OF US

 

[polyh3dron]

Hey mittens, govt jobs are lower now than they have been in an eternity, what the fuck.

 

[Talamius]

Big Bird for prez!

 

[KingGondo]

Look of death from Lehrer.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

WE DO NOT BORROW FROM CHINA GODDAMNIT

 

[legacyzero]

MITT DON'T CARE. Sorry PBS!!

DAAAAYUM Romney dissing PBS! LMFAO Get this fucker off stage LOL

 

[grimshawish]

And there's the fuckup. Well done Romney

All the reactions above show how stupid it was; he just showed his true colours - Romney means cutting back on real things.

 

[Kyou]

"I'm gonna slit Big Bird's throat"

 

[thetrin]

Romney loves Big Bird. Good to know.

 

[David Incorporated Esq.]

agreed...

the bias in this thread is amazing, observing this debate from the middle Romney won the economy portion of this debate. oh wait Romney starting to name drop big bird oh boy...

Except he was lying. I can promise you a million dollars every day and it sounds great but if it's a fucking lie it's immaterial.

 

[Monocle]

I too love Big Bird. Mitt, you just gained a vote.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Kill Big Bird and fire you too, Jim Lehrer.

 

[Leona Lewis]

This is an insufferable format (or maybe it's just the host) but I don't feel like I'm going to learn anything tonight. It's not a debate - it's a series of disconnected monologues.

 

[Agent Ironside]

He's actually coming across as a whiny dope.

Depends on what perspective you look at it from. I'm coming in to this not knowing much about the candidates and having not seen much. I see Romney as passionate and generally wanting to fix things.

 

[massoluk]

Really? You think cutting PBS will make a dent at deficit?

 

[lunarworks]

Does Romney believe in Snuffleupagus?

 

[lastflowers]

Nice opening response by Obama.

 

[Godslay]

Oh he loves Big Bird? Good for you Romney...

Surprising considering Elmo is where the money is at.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Elmo am cry

 

[AlteredBeast]

So far (I am a few minutes behind)

Obama's strategy so far seems to relate how similar he is to Romney on as many positions as possible to appear centrist.

Romney is on the attack and constantly trying to differentiate himself from everything that Obama is.

Romney seems to be having a better debate, but Obama is hitting him with facts and is probably winning the overall message.

 

[zou]

I'm gonna cut taxes and lower the deficit.
I'm gonna cut spending and increase growth and lower the deficit.

I'm gonna cut Obamacare (haha) and gonna kill PBS (haha).

What a horrible liar.

 

[Particle Physicist]

haha. after saying that the middle class will not be affected by his tax cuts, he talks about cutting programs in order to cut the deficit... how exactly does that not affect the middle class? what an ass.

 

[Seven Force]

DAMN YOU COME AT BIG BIRD YOU COME AT ALL OF US

:lol

 

[WaltJay]

"My balls itch" - Mitt Romney before he scratches Jim Lehrer's head.

 

[thecouncil]

Shouldn't have mentioned Big Bird

yeah... i thought that too. that was a bad move.

 

[commedieu]

Good job getting the last word in, Mitt. Obama went first, then you go last… then you go first, and he goes last. That's how it works.

lol, the only thing you can cheerlead... as hes just thrown everything hes campaigned on under the bus for the debate.

Go Mitt GO!

 

[Bowdz]

Romney just lit up at the mention of the air force.

 

[Kyon]

Death @ this SEETHING baked fish Lyin his way through this whole thing. Obama Hun drag him to the PITS. ScalpT his dusty wig and be done with it.

 

[- J - D -]

Mr. Rogers is rolling in his grave.

 

[SouthernDragon]

I'm glad that Romney is targeting science and educational budgets that make up about 1% of the overall budget.

 

[mj1108]

Mitt actually admitting they want to cut PBS.... what a fuckup.

 

[J-Rod]

Shit Mitt, could you have thought of worse example than Sesame Street?

 

[bobbychalkers]

I keep picturing Obama writing down "He gon get this work" over and over on his notepad whenever Mitt is talking.

 

[Forever]

Obama is hitting his stride, Romney is getting flustered.

 

[Plasmid]

This nigga is a worse moderator then Amirox

Holy fuck :lol

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

"Mr. Romney why so secretive about your tax history?"

"I'M JUST TRYING TO PROTECT MY STACKS!"

 

[NeoUltima]

I hate this damn small business tax rate baloney. The only taxes that should be lowered are individual income taxes, to boost consumption and thus incentivize investment to meet the demands of the increased consumption. That is how tax cuts create jobs.

Not supply side economics bullshit. Taxes are after profit! Businesses will (or should if they understand basic economics) hire the same number of employees to maximize profit regardless of tax rates. The exception would be if taxes were so damn high that there would be opportunity costs of operating a small business.

 

[KingGondo]

Depends on what perspective you look at it from. I'm coming in to this not knowing much about the candidates and having not seen much. I see Romney as passionate and generally wanting to fix things.

Do you really, really think that cutting taxes will result in more tax revenue?

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Obama is lying now.

 

[Randdalf]

Romney is going to end Sesame Street? It's over. Obama won.

 

[RSLAEV]

O shit he just owned Lehrer- "I like you but I 'll fire yo assssssss"

Moderator? You ain't moderatin' shit up in here son

 

[Ichabod]

"My balls itch" - Mitt Romney before he scratches Jim Lehrer's head.

lmfao

 

[Jimothy]

All this cutting spending talk.

Double dip time guise.

 

[Judderman]

Death @ this SEETHING baked fish Lyin his way through this whole thing. Obama Hun drag him to the PITS. ScalpT his dusty wig and be done with it.

Please no. Not here.

 

[Monocle]

Elmo am cry

There is such a thing as too many tickles.

 

[spindashing]

Romney with that Gary Oak smirk
