Presidential debate #2.
« on: October 16, 2012, 09:31:45 PM »
I'm about 30 minutes in and I've had enough. I need to go take a shower now.

Obama has come on more aggressive than the last one but he's still coming across as an ahole but I will readily admit my bias against him.

The awesome of when Romney shut Obama down and told him to sit tight until it was his turn was pure win.

They are both big statists, one of them is definitely worse than the other.

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

You can tell Obama coached a lot for this debate, a lot less ums and ohs when delivery of his talking points. He still stumbles when he goes off what he practiced.

One thing about Romney is he is a much smoother talker even when going off a tangent.

Moderator needs buttons to kill their mikes.  Both of them are deliberately running over even when told to shut up.   :mad:

Yeah pretty much, he doesn't know *expletive deleted*it about the 2nd amendment and neither does the President. Romney probably has his grand pappy's old Parker shotgun and maybe took it bird hunting once or twice for a photo op if ever needed in the future.

I thought some of the questions were great, even though I didn't like some of them.  The assault weapon question, neither side had a good answer but Obama did bring up wanting another ban.  How are you different than Bush?  Why should I vote for you again Mr. President?

I expected Obama to answer the way he did. I had hoped that Romney would have answered better instead of coming off like Kerry in '04 (i.e., pretty much a FUDD)

Neither one really rose above the level of background noise for me, so I'm calling it a tie.

The blatant lie she told to support Obama's naked lie on Benghazi was the single most egregious debate moment I've ever witnessed. Not only did she take sides, she lied to support her preferred candidate.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Honestly I think we could dispense with the debates altogether. Just circuses...

Benghazi will continue to be a problem for Obama, but it could have been a much larger one if the truth had been told tonight.  

I had an idea that Candy wouldn't be the best moderator.
