Debate Night Open Thread

If anyone wants to talk about the debates, or anything else vaguely political, have at it here!

Also, I’m not exactly sure why someone wanted to make wax Romney and Obama heads, but I figured I’d put these up in case any of you were ever wondering what that would look like.

“Romney’s plan works because magic free market unicorns shit $100 bills on everyone’s lawn!”

Will enchanted Objectivist elf-laundresses wash them off for us? Because I don’t want to clean that up.

Kitteh – Thanks! He’s actually starting to look droopy. Economic policy may be the best sleep-aid in the world.

Mittens: “States are the laboratories of democracy”.

Jon Stewart 2010: “Arizona is the meth lab of democracy”.

So yeah Mittens, shut up.

Fitzy, I reckon it would be! Even if it wasn’t being spouted by a Romneybot.

Obama: Ok, so math. When you put money into something, it has to come from somewhere.

Mitt: You’re taking money from somewhere, MISTER PRESIDENT IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME

Mittens, answer the goddamn questions. Jesus. He’s allergic to straight answers.

I;m waiting for Jim Lehrer to tell Romney to shut the fuck up.

Yeah, no way I’m watching that. My blood pressure and liver can’t take the strain and I wouldn’t want to get kicked out of my apartment for shrieking at the teevee.

For the record I will never watch this debate. I depend on you all to let me know what’s going on in American politics. It’s pretty cool of you guys to hold your debates on the beach!

@ttf — Basically Mitt Romney is making shit up and Obama is, for some reason, addressing the made up shit as though it’s valid.

And it’s official – Romney’s view on Social Security finally knocked my son out. This should be noted tomorrow during the post-debate “Who Won?” talky-talk.

I’ve been gone for a few minutes, what’s up now? Ooo, Romney’s trying to simultaneously defend his Massachusetts health care law and tear down ACA? Good luck with that.

@ inurashii- Clearly Obama hasn’t spent enough time trolling trolls on the internet. Please don’t tell me Obama is losing this thing.

I think I’m going to start imbibing, too. Should we make up a drinking game, or is that asking for trouble on a school night?

@ttf — I don’t think he’s losing, but I don’t think he’s winning. So far, my drunken ass reads this as an inert discussion.

Well. Except the part where Romney said he’s gonna cut PBS but he “Likes Big Bird.” That was fucked up.

@Fitzy, the drinking game I’m playing is “When I’m too sober to cope with the debates, take a drink.”

I am … losing.

Bahaha!! No frigging way, they aren’t still on that birther thing, are they? Wasn’t the end of that: “Ok, here’s my birth certificate- oh, and I killed that mass murdering dude the president before me stirred into a rage spitting frenzy- your welcome”?

@ inurashii- A man that ignorant of innuendo has to be a replicant.

@ttf – They’re not doing that literally. But inurashii is right, Romney’s throwing similar BS at the president.
