Me? Or Starvin’?
If it makes you sleep better at night.
MWAHAHAHAH!
I think they will vote for whoever gives them the most free shit regardless of the consequences.
Life must be incredibly depressing for you, to have such a dim view of humanity.

This. Obama didn’t seem to be 100% into the debate. It’s like he’s too confident about the election and is focusing instead on the job. That’s great, that’s really what the nation needs, but we also need him to get re-elected so a fuck-tard like Romney isn’t.
Government by, for and of the people is not smarter, nor more efficient, nor inherently more certain to have favorable outcomes. It is simply more just.
Poor Dennis Miller, I genuinely feel sorry for him. 9/11 drove him insane, as it did so many of our fellow citizens. A casualty, in a sense.
I’m on top of the world, my dim view of humanity accentuates being on top of the world.
I feel the exact same way about your candidates hope of this debate changing the outcome.
Just to be clear, his exact quote from the debate is:
And this is from his official PDf on this website:
That seems a pretty consistent position to me. A quick google search of Romney’s statements on Dodd-Frank all offer the same statements: Repeal and Replace
I guess Romney should have bowed to The King to appease his loyal subjects.
btw - He was smirking because the debate was so easy.
I kept waiting for Obama to start to talk in his 2007 Katrina dialect to pump up his base.
So, you’re the nice one, with the opinion? Sheesh, what’s the other guy with the opinion like?
he’s a complete asshole
You know, presidents are supposed to be able to bone up on and effectively handle effectively serious and difficult events whose proper disposition is their responsibilty as president. I suggest Ronald Reagan’s difficult and protracted nuclear missle negotiations with Mikhail Gorbachev in Reykjavík in 1986, when a 75-year-old Reagan flew to Iceland and undertook two days of complex and maddening hardball negotiations with Gorbachev in an effort to acheive an agreement on nuclear ballistic missles, human rights, emigration of Soviet Jews and dissidents, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
He also managed to comport himself pretty well during his incumbent debate against Walter Mondale, even managing to make himself look sympathic and picked on when Mondale hammered him after Reagan tried the “There you go again” line that worked so well against Jimmy Carter and for which Mondale was waiting with a devastating retort.
The problem with Obama frankly is that he’s not a leader. He’s a sideline guy. He just doesn’t have the executive experience or strength of personality to shape or drive events. He stands by the side and lets foreign leaders do what they will; he stands by the side and lets Congress do what it will; he tries and tries but by and large the economy is doing as it will, etc. etc.
In the biography of Steve Jobs that came out shortly after he died, a meeting was described where Obama flew out to California to meet with Silicon Valley tech leaders to get their input on how to stimulate the economy and create jobs. The following is from Jobs’ biography:
Jobs “stressed the need for more trained engineers and suggested that any foreign students who earned an engineering degree in the U.S. should be given a visa to stay in the country.” The president reportedly replied that this would have to await broader immigration reform, which he said he was unable to accomplish.
“Jobs found this an annoying example of how politics can lead to paralysis,” Mr. Isaacson writes. “he president is very smart, but he kept explaining to us reasons why things can’t get done,” Jobs said. “It infuriates me.”
In other words, Obama sees obstacles and becomes stymied. He lacks forcefulness and creativity and determination. So, when faced with the challenge presented by Mitt Romney last night, he folded and withdrew to the sidelines as much as possible, hoping (and even suggesting) a change of subject or the passing of time to get him through it.
I think his problem was exacerbated also by the fact that he’s been indulging in appearances on programs such as Oprah and The View, where he can sit relaxed with his legs crossed comfortably ensconsed amongst a sea of women panelists and audience members who slaver over his every word and allow him to smilingly and confidently spout his talking points while being halted only occasionally for the softball question whose reponse is never challenged or to bask in the applause of his adoring audience.
So it’s little wonder he didn’t seem to have much interest in the debate, or, apparently, in preparing for it. It was like he had never experienced a real hardball debate before and thought he could just show up and spout the same platitudes that brought the house down when he was talking to Whoopi and Joy Behar and be home free. Then, as it became more and more obvious he had his hands full, the lack of leadership and moxie that is his true nature became more and more apparent.
I expect in the next debates he’ll come out and try to play the hardass, but it just isn’t in him and he’ll probably overdo it and come off just as ridiculously as he did last night but for different reasons.
Strangely enough I have never felt all that much dislike for Barack Obama. The last Democratic president I actually liked was JFK (who, let’s face it, would be a Republican by today’s standards), and I easily like Obama more than any Democratic president since then. If he were my neighbor or a guy I worked with I’d probably enjoy his company very much. But as president the guy is pretty much an empty suit.
I guess there’s just no satisfying you liberals. You ask for specifics on how to cut the deficit and Romney identifies one huge money sink that he’ll reluctantly destroy (despite that he loves Big Bird and Jim Lehrer) in order to save America from borrowing more from China.
Destroying PBS will make a dramatic impact on the deficit. As most Republicans know, over $178 billion per year is spent by the federal government on PBS.
So, you probably think Big Bird urging kids to share is a good thing, huh, commie! Oh, no, no socialist indoctrination here, nosiree Bob! Connect the dot, people!
If Romney had come out and said he was going to give PBS ten times more money if they promised not another pledge week, forever…I might have been tempted…
He had not previously said he would replace it with parts that are already in it.
Kinda like this, huh?
What’s your proposal? Do you think that the 47% of Americans are worth defence expenditure on?
