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

Paul Ryan is about to cry it looks like.

[QUOTE=Morcam;38003174]That was just hilariously awkward. "AFGHANS TO DO THE JOB!"[/QUOTE] I know right? Would you trust one of these to defend a country? [img]http://s2.hubimg.com/u/1626073_f520.jpg[/img]

Oh holy fuck. now he's acting like the security counsel is a new idea.

pootin

Ryan are you suggesting the US attack Russia?

NO ONE SAID WE WERE GOING TO SEND TROOPS TO SYRIA except mitt said that he would

[QUOTE=Laferio;38003149]I don't get it, why did the moderator call Ryan out on, "specifics" and not Biden?[/QUOTE] Because Biden gives specifics and Ryan doesn't. He totally dodged her request for him to explain the math behind his and Romney's health care plan. And then there was that obviously bullshit statistic Ryan fired at her about Obama and Biden wanting to so drastically cut the military that the navy would be reduced to pre-1916/Great War levels.

REAGAN HAD PLANS! I'm JACK KENNEDY NOW

To those saying that Biden is winning this - can you explain? I don't want to come off as aggressive, pro-Ryan or anything. I just have to write a school paper over this and I'm curious on what Biden is doing that makes you think he's winning. I saw it a lot more clearly with Romney/Obama, but I'm still feeling in the middle with this one.

This just in, Ryan wants to start a war with Russia.

When she asked Ryan about the specifics with taxes, he didn't end up giving any did he?

Biden is giving a bunch of numbers, statistics, being generally honest about his experience and using that to guide him. He's been in government office for like 5 fucking decades and he's referencing that. Fucking laughed when Ryan said Biden had no record.

[QUOTE=Darkest_97;38003243]When she asked Ryan about the specifics with taxes, he didn't end up giving any did he?[/QUOTE] He was pressed about 3 times and each time he tried to change the subject.

Answer the question Ryan!

the moderator should not be participating in debate the way she is

Biden's really coming out full-swing tonight as an assertive VP.

Oh shit, abortion and religion.

There is also the whole part where this is an internet forum filled with cynical bitter people who enjoy his attitude. ALSO FUCK FUCK FUCK ABORTION AND RELIGION GET YOUR DRINKS

Oh fuck. Now he's saying that we go to war on the interests of the American people. Shit, if we did that, we'd be bloodier than the Roman republic when they were expanding.

WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT HUMANITARIAN ISSUES

[QUOTE=Disotrtion;38003254]the moderator should not be participating in debate the way she is[/QUOTE] this is like the best moderator presdential/vp debates have seen in over a decade
