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

This is a lot more interesting then the presidential debate, because these guys are actually willing to talk out loud.

MORE PERSONAL STORIES

I don't know what's going on here but is that young guy using anecdotal quotes as actual argument material?

[QUOTE=valkery;38002687]Ryan: "I think the vice president knows that from time to time, things don't come out the way you want"[/QUOTE] Yes, because gaffes and insidious remarks are totally in the same category.

so when are they gonna start fistfighting?

Biden: "I can't show you letters, but go on our website, I have two letters from my friend here asking us for millions of dollars for his state in Wisconsin. We sent him millions!" Ryan is starting to look amateurish.

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;38002723]Biden [I]has[/I] to stop laughing though, he's starting to come off as an asshole. [editline]11th October 2012[/editline] Goddamn I love this moderator.[/QUOTE] I think he just has a lot of confidence. I sometimes have a shit eating grin when I'm debating with someone who knows nothing about the topic when they claim they do.

Am I the only one who doesn't like how Biden's taking this? I'm seeing way more personal attacks and attempted deflects from him. Not to mention his constant grin, snickering, and occasional aggressive tone aren't helping his image.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;38002762]I think he just has a lot of confidence. I sometimes have a shit eating grin when I'm debating with someone who knows nothing about the topic when they claim they do.[/QUOTE] If Ryan was totally dropping the ball I'd agree with you, but he's not. Yet at least.

My mom said that Ryan reminds her of a kid that's straight out of college and hasn't seen much.

How much do the VP debates usually affect the race? I'm curious. This is the first election I've actually paid close attention to.

Ryan: I met this family in a car crash Biden: My actual family was in a car crash motherfucker

Jesus Christ Biden, calm down.

[QUOTE=Kirbunny431;38002782]How much do the VP debates usually affect the race? I'm curious. This is the first election I've actually paid close attention to.[/QUOTE] Isn't this the the first time they've ever done this? I'm not sure if any of us know. :v:

[QUOTE=Kirbunny431;38002782]How much do the VP debates usually affect the race? I'm curious. This is the first election I've actually paid close attention to.[/QUOTE] Not much really, the likelihood that they will actually take control are slim

Just give 'em boxing gloves already.

50 more minutes of this, this is hilarious.

Holy shit, Biden. Stop interrupting. I'm trying to take this neutrally, but I want to tell Biden to wait his fucking turn and calm down. :v:

Biden's having fun.

Biden is on his way to a boo boo

This is what I want from a Democrat for once. No more Mr. Niceguy.

I'm tempted to take a plane there and just toss them two clubs and see the carnage unfold.

I haven't had this much fun watching politics in a long time.

Biden/Biden 2016.

Biden: "The voucher program won't keep pace with rising costs, because if it did, there would be no savings. That's why they want it." Nice.

I need someone to explain this "voucher" crap.

The older you are the more aggressive you are, it appears.
