So, let's pretend I'm just some random guy with no actual knowledge of the facts, who doesn't do any homework. You know, like 90% of Americans. All I got from this debate was "Yes you did"/"No I didn't," "Yes I did"/"No you didn't" bullshit. So, basically zero real information, just two jackasses pretending not to flirt with each other.

So the only thing I really have to go on is presentation, in that case. And here's the presentation I saw, in all honesty: Romney was smooth, on point, and persistent. Obama was timid, stuttering, and played defense the entire time. The few occasions where he went after Romney, he always used too many numbers and referred to "studies," which may or may not be accurate, since as Romney pointed out, you can find a study to back up any claim you want.

Now, since I really do know the facts, my decision isn't in question. But to someone who is just now starting to pay attention, it's pretty clear who won the debate.

There are some deluded Democrats who claim that Obama was using this debate to get Romney to talk, and then hang him with his own words later.

I mean, Romney did talk a lot of shit last night.  And he got a lot of facts and numbers wrong. But just like Vex said, no one cares.  Everyone just took things at face values.  It's as if their attitudes were, "It must be true, it's a NUMBER!"

Huh, well, I said that earlier and I still think that's what they may have intended to do. But okay.


Did anyone else notice the three different death panels references from Mittens?

Problem:  The next debate isn't about domestic policy.

Problem:  He had enough to hang Romney at the beginning of the debate, and didn't use it.

Yeah, but here's the thing:  Debates don't sell the ideas, they sell the presence of the candidates.

In the future they won't even pretend the debates are about anything substantive. Instead of a stage, there'll be a boxing ring. And instead of questions, they'll just have a meter to see how loud the crowd gets every time one of the candidates says something. And instead of sentences, they'll speak in slogans.

Oh wait, that isn't the future.

Quote from: Mark AmesOkay, Barry has this hilarious evil smirk that suggests he already knows the final results of the November election. I swear Putin used to smirk like that, and shit happened. Someone's giving Barry some bad information though, because he aint' Putin

Quote from: Mark AmesJust looked on twitter, liberals are shitting in their pants. They're learning for the first time that Obama is a) a technocrat, b) boring and passionless, c) a less dickish version of Romney. Not to not toot my horn, but I fucking called this in 2008. Toot! Toot!

Just for shits and grins, I watched MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech last night.

Turns out Obama is actually a shitty orator.

QuoteDENVER—Following last night's nationally televised presidential debate, President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Sasha reportedly asked her father why he was "acting like such a goddamned pussy up there." "Daddy, how come you were being such a little bitch?" asked the sixth-grader, who told the president she was "genuinely worried" that maybe somebody had "cut Daddy's balls off" right before he took the stage. "What happened, Dad? Were you on your period or something? Maybe the next time you're in front of the entire country for an hour and a half you should try not letting another man spank you on the ass like that." Sources added that Obama's youngest daughter then offered to help the president go "look for [his] dick, because apparently it's gone missing."

Yep. The last good orator in the White House was Mr. Clinton.
