Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
As was said previously, there isn't any way Obama can win this debate because Romney is too aggressive and he can just lie until people say it was a draw.

Public record. He goes on Letterman but won't meet with Netanyahu. Leader of the free world alright.

The PCTX politics thread changed you, man. I thought you seemed impassioned but reasonable there, but this is just silly.
 
Romney will point out the 30 year friendship between him and Netanyahu.. i wonder how many of us will sit at home and question why we stick our necks out for Israel
 
why are conservatives have such a hard on for Israel? Is it the whole second coming thing?

I would imagine this to be the case for the evangelical. But since 9/11, right wingers dont need much of a reason to have issue with any Muslim country. I doubt the rhetoric surrounding Iran would be any different if Israel wasn't a factor

That, and another verse from Genesis.

[12:1] Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.
[12:2] I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
[12:3] I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Basically, we're required to support Israel, or God will curse us.

I am just guessing here, but Obama is going to do very well, but I cannot think that Romney is going to have any major missteps this time around.

The fact that he went after the blame of the Libya thing instead of the more obvious security issue was so boneheaded, there is no way he debate preps on stupid points this time.

Going to look like a genuine tie unlike last debate where Obama clearly won it.

Nah. That's not true. There is clearly bad blood from the whole 1979 hostage crisis thing. But if it wasn't for Israel, I think we would largely ignore Iran. We lost in Vietnam but we don't hold much of a grudge against them.

I still think they need to set these up as more of a sport.

Make a good point? Field Goal.

Make a fantastic one? Touchdown, with endzone dance and all.

I would be more interested.

I wish one day a republican candidate would be asked a really difficult (for them) question, and they just get so tired of lying and weaseling around that he snaps and goes into an explosive racist sexist theocratic tirade. If anyone can do it, it's Romney. Hoping he gets unraveled tonight and accidentally shows his real side. LET'S DO THIS.

Romney said that half the country was a bunch lazy fuckers that he didn't care about and that half looked around and said, "yeah, those guys do suck, he's right."

I'm pretty sure it only works on people with conviction though.

That right there is what has me worried. Its honestly astounding.

Thing is, he's not really a racist sexist theocrat, he's just pretending to be.
