I sure do hope we see some awkward stool usage.

I will lose my shit if he falls off that stool.

 

[Y2Kev]

Man, I really fucking hate the news media. The only way someone can win a debate is by looking good enough. And of course at fox news the only way you can win is by being the republican.

Obama should have died his hair!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I will lose my shit if he falls off that stool.

Wouldn't it be crazy if the practice pays off and Obama ends up not knowing how to properly use the stool whereas Romney is playing it cool.

 

[Clevinger]

I will lose my shit if he falls off that stool.

I fully expect Obama to be so nervous he almost falls.

 

[Forever]

Dear Zeus, I shall slaughter you a lamb if Romney falls off that stool because he doesn't know how to sit on it.

 

[Tim-E]

I hope Obama trips Romney if he walks too closely to his stool.

 

[thekad]

The terrorists were responsible for the terrorist attacks. We're responsible for standing behind our country; not behind our politics.

 

[kingkitty]

I will lose my shit if he falls off that stool.

I bet it will make Romney more likable.

 

[soul creator]

You'll get plenty of stool coming out of Romney's mouth tonight

This is like a Rocky movie . . .

1. The POTUS worked out this morning and then met up with his team to do a short 45-minute review. ... He had pasta with chicken for lunch.
2. This afternoon he will do last-minute prep for about an hour with his team. He will spend some down time with his close friends in town for the debate—Marty Nesbitt and Mike Ramos.
3. He will have dinner with the FLOTUS at the hotel before the debate. They are having steak and potatoes at the hotel.

Ready to Rumble!

K.O.

 

[Touchdown]

I'm sure Romney will do fine with the stool sitting. Hell, he always walks like a stool leg is shoved up his ass anyway.

Man up? Governor, I have been at the helm of overseas contingency operations for years now. Of course I take responsibility for the lives lost in Libya, just as I take responsibility for the many more lives we've lost in Iraq and Afghanistan under my four years as Commander In Chief. Is this your idea of a foreign policy strategy, to man up? Foreign Service can be dangerous, governor, whether you're an ambassador or in the infantry. Is that your policy for the thousands of women we have serving overseas as well, to 'man up'? Is that how you're going to keep our ambassadors safe going forward, tell them they need more chest hair? Do you have some secret formula that makes it grow out as kevlar? Security for American men and women overseas is a real, actual problem, governor, it can't be handled by a phrase you might find on a t-shirt produced by one of the Chinese factories Bain Capital operates.

Man, that's a good reply. I'd remove some of the snark. But still a great rebuttal.

He seems pretty chill, I just played a game of Dota 2 with him, and the debates almost about to start.

At least, it was a guy who called himself Barack Obama. And he had Obama's photo. Probably legit, right?

[Jackson50]

I sure do hope we see some awkward stool usage.

Are they swivel stools? A swivel stool could be problematic for Romney.

 

[Dr. Pangloss]

Crazy. The PBS documentary just said that 90% of the Republican primary voters in 2012 were white. How can you change the system to be more appealing to minorities if they don't help pick your candidate?

 

[fallagin]

Romney Fanfiction:

"But mister President, I am running on your policies and you are running on mine now. You are the one who said the 47% comment, the one who wants to cut medicare and social security, the one who wanted gm to fail.

Wait. Does that mean that I'm a kenyan muslim communist though? Uh Oh."

CSPAN is so enjoyable.

Man, Robert Gibbs' forehead has eaten the rest of his face. That is one sweaty mass of skin.

 

[empty vessel]

There are plenty of smart Southerns that compartmentalize the crazy. I've met several.

True. Conservatism in the South is largely a social phenomenon. Attitudes and beliefs are adopted because it is the socially acceptable orientation. Of course, it works this way everywhere to a large degree. The South's racist history doesn't do it any favors in this regard, however. I have a fairly cerebral uncle who has basically gone crazy over the last several years as Republicans have become more and more politically radicalized. It's sad to see families down here in the South (including mine) torn up through political discord sowed by the (mostly Northeastern) 1% relentlessly pursuing their selfish economic interests.

If progressives/liberals were smart, they would manage their post-debate reactions. If all the progressives on the blogosphere are acting all butt-hurt and frantic, then it'll just feed into the media narrative that Obama laid another egg.

Progessives/Liberals just dont have as masterful grasp over bullshit and PR-spin as the right does.

It's literally half of his head/face, I didn't realize it until now.

They also aren't living in mass delusion like the right.

After reading this thread for two weeks I have no faith in liberals to act like they want to win.

 

[Patriots7]

Please Obama. Pull it together tonight.

 

[ArbiterMajor]

10 more minutes...

 

[AlteredBeast]

I want there to be fireworks, but this is going to be a knob-slobbing townhall "debate."

It is going to be PanderFest 2012 and we all know it.

 

[Tim-E]

I'll check the thread after the debate is over. Through the debate I'm sticking to twitter.

Keep your composure, guys!

But can Obama look good doing it?

That is the main question, unfortunately.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

This PBS documentary is really good imo.

 

[The Chosen One]

If progressives/liberals were mindless sheep, they would manage their post-debate reactions. If all the progressives on the blogosphere are acting all butt-hurt and frantic, then it'll just feed into the media narrative that Obama laid another egg.

Fixed.

Honestly that's why I lean progressive these days. Generally progressives can call a spade a spade and not spin things beyond the confines of reality.

 

[RockTurtle]

i'm shaking in my boots, who's winning?

 

[Measley]

Alright I've decided to watch the debate. Damn me and my political addiction

 

[Angry Fork]

After reading this thread for two weeks I have no faith in liberals to act like they want to win.

If Obama was a leftist I'd support him fully, I don't know why liberals expect other leftists to support a center-right candidate, some of us have dignity. An Obama win would be better than Romney but I'm still going to criticize him.

Ha! Don't bet on it. Progressives/liberals are panicky chicken littles by nature. They can't help themselves to be in panic and overall miserable.

 

[Doc Holliday]

It is time!

 

[Dr. Pangloss]

This PBS documentary is really good imo.

Yeah especially this segment about the future implications on racial trends.

 

[Incognito]

no twitter, no fb, or gaf for me. going off the grid. see you all after the destruction...

 

[ArbiterMajor]

The time has come!

 

[The Technomancer]

The time has come!

Oh god you've all made me nervous

 

[Dr. Pangloss]

Are you guys going to post in here like last time or in the debate thread?

 

[soul creator]

Hold on to your butts

Wake the fuck up

Other samjack saying

 

[Link Man]

If I post, I'll post here. The debate thread will move much to quickly, I'm sure.

 

[Clevinger]

Oh god you've all made me nervous

No pressure. But this could make or break the election.

Spoiler

 

[bananas]

Tonight will go great. I have faith.

 

[Zoibie]

Oh god you've all made me nervous

I always get nervous before debates now. Feels a little silly but I can't help it.

C'mon Bams, let's do this!
