Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Round 1

[Block]

Are "small business owners" that big of idiots? "We're less likely to hire someone because of Obamacare," it has nothing to do with demand for services not being there due to a shrinking consumer base?

[Atia]

"Your five seconds went away a long time ago." Then you should have stopped them there. Seriouslythis moderator has less control of this debate then the Vinnick v Santos 2006 debate moderator.

[Highlord Laan]

Did Mitt just chastise Obama for rolling over his political opponents? *snort* Ohho-ooo! DEATH PANEL! Again!

*Chugchugchug*

[Skywalker_T-65]

I'm glad I'm not around my friends. They would have passed out by now.

Also, Mittens...can you mention something OTHER than the 'deathpanels'?

[fordlltwm]

so if it's a republican idea it's bi-partisan but if it democrat then it partisan???

[Flagg]

Fuck me, Obama just committed the cardinal sin of explaining details of bureurcracy on national TV.

[Block]

Oh Mittens, you're a fool if you can't make the link between reducing costs and the government health care system emulating private innovations.

[Highlord Laan]

What the flying fuck is supposed to be sacred about "competition"? I don't want to have doctors fight over who gets my money. I just want to get some goddamed hospital care before I die!

[Flagg]

Which is better, Private Extortion or Government Extortion? You decide on November 6. (PS Government extortion works better)

[Highlord Laan]

No, you will NOT respond Mittens. Dumbass.

[Flagg]

At this point Romney could whip it out of his magic underpants and take a piss on the floor and David Gregory would happily lap it up.

[Mr Bean]

Obama had a great point when he started talking about "Maybe the reason why these plans are secret" but his finish was poor. I thought he was going to go with "Because they don't exist" rather than the long meandering end he went with.

Also, I've had two more drinks and run into zero additional walls. This makes nine? Ten? Twelve?

My brother gets Veteran benefits. It's not the most efficient care, but he gets the care he needs. Were he to suddenly develop something life threatening, he's be immediately bumped to the front of the line. Know what? No matter how inefficient it may be, it's there and I'd move heaven and hell alike to have something like it myself.

[Patrick Degan]

The debate's officially off the rails.

And now Mittens invokes the Holy Tenth Amendment.

[Highlord Laan]

And FUCK "states rights." That issue was settled in 1865. Your pathetic little nattering horde of governors is subordinate to Federal Authority. Don't like it, secede. Try it. I dare you.

(edit: fixed my spelling)

[Esquire]

Do you mean secede, maybe?

[Highlord Laan]

Oh, be poetic to me, Mittens. Your graceful bullshit makes me grin.

[Highlord Laan]

By the way. *drink*

[Dark Hellion]

States! States!! STATES!!!!!

Look I can be Romney too.

[weemadando]

So, from the sounds of things, Lehrer being meek and ineffective has pretty much won Romney the point that PBS should be cut?

[Flagg]

Fuck the Union!

Wait wasn't this settled like 150 years ago?

[Flagg]

So, from the sounds of things, Lehrer being meek and ineffective has pretty much won Romney the point that PBS should be cut?

PBS should be cut. I mean if we aren't going to spend any fucking money on it we might as well cutoff the pittance that keeps it in its death throes.

[Patrick Degan]

Yeah, let's let the states handle healthcare. Because they did such a GOOOOD job with civil rights fifty years ago, didn't they?

[Atia]

"You are entitled to your own airplane and your own house but not your own facts." YEAH! those are for former governors!

[Highlord Laan]

Where would those 2 million teachers go Mittens? To those chronically underfunded inner-city schools that white collar old money fuckups like you like to ignore?

By the way. "drink*
