DEBATE!!!

So I'm going to be in class during the debate, so no liveblog unless someone else wants to take it on themselves. Two things:

Earlier in the week, a story leaked that the Mitt Romney campaign had him practicing "zingers" and other gotcha moments as responses on things he hoped Obama would say. While it's true that most people only remember a few phrases in any debate... the way that Mitt Romney absolutely STRUGGLES to sound human during literally all situations I've ever seen him that aren't this or this... a heavily rehearsed corny as fuck line might not be the smartest move.

The second thing is that we should be on the lookout for incredible wingnuttery tonight, like the type that only comes around 30 or 40 times a year. The right lives in a sealed echo chamber that allows them to believe that Obama the affirmative action president Kenyan Muslim usurper has lived his life in a bubble WAITING for the moment when he gets EXPOSED for who he really is (a black man). When something like a debate happens, and he comes across intelligently, and like, you know, the person that he has always been and continues to be, the right loses their shit. IF ONLY MITT HAD CALLED HIM BOY ON STAGE!!! THAT WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING.

Really dumb stuff incoming.

Enjoy the debate, let me know what you all thought.

  1. I'm going to stay sober and only take a drink when someone says "collective bargaining" and "social justice." I will however drink every time Romney says something overtly racist, classist or sexist.

  4. Why do we keep letting ourselves go through this? Why is Jim Lehrer moderating again? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?!?!

  5. pre-written talking points from the candidates, occasionally punctuated by white noise from the moderator. INTRIGUING!

  6. "Do you have any questions you want to ask the President, Mitt?"

    "Yes, but let me make some statements instead and not ask a question."

    whew, wouldnt want them to have to actually interact with each other.

  7. I drank more than expected with the use of welfare and food stamps. It was a good night with a trans woman and a black woman in a conservative Irish bar. I don't know why we go these things.
