2012 Presidential Debate Thread - Obama/Biden vs. Romney/Ryan - October 3rd-22nd: Live 9 PM EST Toni - Polidicks

[t]http://i.imgur.com/Rozn4.png[/t] OOH ROMNEY GETS TO TALK YAYYYY

I'd say Romney is winning in terms of appearance and fluency of answers, but he's a shit eater.

"From the archives: Rick Santorum said Romney adviser admits Romneycare was blueprint for Obamacare. Mostly True. [url]http://ow.ly/ecNPm[/url] " hahahaha

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;37903559]Is "The fact of the matter" a drinking word[/QUOTE] Every words a drinkin word

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;37903551]It's a pretty close one, but I'd have to say Romney.[/QUOTE] Because he's saying completely opposite stuff than what he's said before.

Why did they look back for a second there? Was there a ghost?

[QUOTE=Prez;37903567]I'd say Romney is winning in terms of appearance and fluency of answers, but he's a shit eater.[/QUOTE] yes i will admit he's very fluent but it's mostly stories tbh

Romney is hammering Obama at certain points, christ.

Romney's right on gov't being pricier. GJ said something about it earlier.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;37903570]Every words a drinkin word[/QUOTE] If that's the case I'd be dead now.

is romney crying

They need a moderator with balls. Someone who will just cut the mics, and say shit like "well I'm sorry but you didn't actually answer my question at all, you just danced around it for five minutes when you were supposed to give me a real answer in two, now try again". Because it's been over an hour and neither of them has said anything with any specifics or substance whatsoever, and they've dodged the actual questions in almost every case, they just spin off in a different direction and start spewing rhetoric. It's ludicrous.

Obama just stuttered and is stalling.

Honestly after this debate, I feel like Romney is a lot more moderate than most other Republicans, despite how he has been painted.

[QUOTE=froztshock;37903533]What's the point of a moderator if they just let the combatants march all over it? Moderator should have like, the ability to turn off the mics of candidates, and maybe the ability to sentence to a saw-like death trap those who talk back. That would probably fix it.[/QUOTE] TBH its at least [URL="http://theweek.com/bullpen/column/229068/the-medias-shameful-exploitation-of-political-soundbites"]better[/URL] than just getting [URL="http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2011/01/02/the_incredible_shrinking_sound_bite/"]sound bite[/URL] responses so time-speaking extensions aren't necessarily all that bad.

[QUOTE=Prez;37903567]I'd say Romney is winning in terms of appearance and fluency of answers, but he's a shit eater.[/QUOTE] I've only been dropping in on parts of the debate but I haven't seen him justify many of his points. The same goes for Obama but not as much so.

I gotta say it looks like Romney just looks better, and take a look at the Nixon-JFK debates and how those ended

[QUOTE=Splash Attack;37903593]Honestly after this debate, I feel like Romney is a lot more moderate than most other Republicans, despite how he has been painted.[/QUOTE] Etch-a-sketch man, awaaaaaaayyyyy....

Obama: Your plan doesn't do what you just said it does Romney: Nuh-uh

[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;37903578]Romney's right on gov't being pricier. GJ said something about it earlier.[/QUOTE] GJ was saying that the government will always cost more than the private sector in every situation

oh wow obama just hit his mic

nobody wins one side just loses harder

Got popcorn, what'd I miss?

New debate stage: Each stand on a trap door go over the time or do anything stupid you fall into a pit of something.

Romney just told the moderator

Mitt just has to respond to that.

[QUOTE=Splash Attack;37903593]Honestly after this debate, I feel like Romney is a lot more moderate than most other Republicans, despite how he has been painted.[/QUOTE] Facepunch is extra ordinarily liberal when it comes to politics, so I try not to refer to facepunch for somebodies opinion. It does help with the general overview of how the opposition looks, and feels like.

LMAO Romney just shut the moderator down. He looks miserable.

Obama's ears look like plastic on the inside.

Romney just interrupted the moderator and cut him off.
