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

Something that pissed me off was it seemed like Romney never stopped smirking and staring at his shoes like some dumb kid getting a lecture from a teacher.

Man, tonight was great. Had some lemon-scented candles, Romney won, and shit turned out damn fine. Can't get any better.

[QUOTE=NomadicNinja;37904118]can we have this in the OP as well as OPs of threads to come tia[/QUOTE] if i get 15%

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904141]Man, tonight was great. Had some lemon-scented candles, Romney won, and shit turned out damn fine. Can't get any better.[/QUOTE] did you touch yourself to the debates or something?

[QUOTE=Fort83;37904099]Romney told a bunch of BS, spoke louder, faster, gave attitude and interrupted both obama and the moderator. He didn't kick anyone's ass.[/QUOTE] He actually revealed more about what he's gonna do in this debate than he has for like the past few months.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904141]Man, tonight was great. Had some lemon-scented candles, Romney won, and shit turned out damn fine. Can't get any better.[/QUOTE] The Hank Hill avatar just completes this so much.

[QUOTE=thisispain;37904150]did you touch yourself to the debates or something?[/QUOTE] Lemon-scented candles are the shit.

Well, as my first presidential debate I have to say that was [b]the absolute worst fucking thing I have ever experienced.[/b] I barely learned anything about what they're planning to do, I could barely get any content for the summary I'm writing for class because there are [b]SO FUCKING MANY BUZZWORDS[/B]. Obama's overzealous promises haven't come to pass, Romney's plans are either fucking crazy or have so little details I can't even determine what he's planning on doing other than repeal "something Obama pushed for".

(chugging included) [u]Obama said:[/u] 0 - "Let me be clear: 0 - references to Bain Capital 1 - Blame the administration (directly) 3 - uses of the words Millionaire(2) and Billionaire(1) ------------- Addressed Romney in the 3rd person too many times to count. (the majority of drinks are the result of this) [u]Romney said:[/u] 1 - touts his plan to raise 12 million jobs +-11 - Small businesses 2 - Ronald Reagan's at least 1 - Private sector ------------- mentioned Obamacare multiple times. Complimented Obama on his Anniversary Both Candidates ignored their allowed time nearly the whole duration of the broadcast. Both Candidates argued with the moderator multiple times. I'm sure anyone that actually played along is well and drunk and or passed out right now. I wish I kept a better tally on how many times each thing was specifically said but oh well.

mmmm keep talking Mittens im almost there

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904141]Man, tonight was great. Had some lemon-scented candles, Romney won, and shit turned out damn fine. Can't get any better.[/QUOTE] How could either candidate have won when nobody actually said anything? It's not like Obama said any less than Romney. They both trampled all over the moderator for over 90 minutes, somehow without ever saying anything with any verifiable content whatsoever.

[QUOTE=OvB;37904172] I'm sure anyone that actually played along is well and drunk and or passed out right now. [/QUOTE] nos i jst have a high tolrance *burP*

I think Romney was a bit more powerful when arguing his case. Obama stumbled here and there. They both repeated the same back and forth a few times, and wandered off the question a lot. As someone who doesn't like either candidate, I think Romney came out ahead, if barely.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904165]Lemon-scented candles are the shit.[/QUOTE] Especially when you don't have to pay a tax on purchasing them. New Hampshire thug for life.

For anybody still watching the discussions afterwards, and on MSNBC, is that Al Sharpton?

I thought Romney came off as the better debater. But that's really no surprise considering he's had something like 22 debates.

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904214]Hey, shit happens, but Romney won.[/QUOTE] But you just did what both Obama and Romney did, you completely avoided my question and said the same thing you've said before without actually giving any answers. I'll ask again; How could either candidate have actually won when neither candidate said anything of any substance or value? They need a moderator with balls who is willing to say shit like that. The moderator should be able to say "well sir, I asked you to answer a specific question in two minutes, you talked for five about nothing specific, so try again or I'm going to cut your mic off".

[QUOTE=Tucan Sam;37904048]While romney did a lot better than I though, everything he said really doesn't check out. [url]http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/national-rankings[/url] MA only has 2 schools in the top 75...[/QUOTE] that's not what romney said. massachusetts is ranked #1 in all of education out of all 50 states, which is a true statement. i don't have a citation off hand but i definitely have read it multiple times before

lol, by reading your comments about how boring is it, I'm just amazed.. it was really interesting debate, I'm not even american and i enjoyed it. Mitt Romney has an excellent plan in my opinion.. lower regulations and taxes in order to let small business owners grow and hire more people that will eventually pay more taxes. He was real clear..

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904275][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aSuwm.jpg[/IMG] Romney 2012. Thank Kartoffel for this.[/QUOTE] Took five minutes. Can't believe it took that short amount of time! :v:

[QUOTE=Doneeh;37904275][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aSuwm.jpg[/IMG] Romney 2012. Thank Kartoffel for this.[/QUOTE] how fucking dare you

Under my notes on the closing statement, i put my own. It was how i was disappointed in both candidates. Stay classy America.
