It's all fucking scripted, It's all a fucking act, all the world is a stage, It's all just a stage play designed to brainwash you and you don't understand it.

Are you fucking retarded or something?

If I recall correctly, polls were showing in 2004 that Kerry beat Bush in the debates. He still lost the election. I hope its the same case here. Not because I like Obama, I don't. I just want Rand to run in 2016.

Tod, Your facebook friends are so proud to be Americans it makes me want to move to Canada...

Wow, O-Bomb-ya must have really stepped on his dick tonight.

It's pretty hard to run away from the numbers Romney was throwing out all night.

 

[wgadget]

Im thinking Obamie and his wife don't want to be steering the boat when it crashes.

I just wonder how many of the numbers (from either one) were accurate?

 

[KingNothing]

Winning debates doesn't translate into winning elections. Debates have little impact on elections at this point.

Ok, and?

Unless all remaining debates are as lopsided as this one, Romney stands no chance.

 

[KingNothing]

Combination of low expectations for Romney, high expectations for Obama, and Obama failing to prepare for what he thought would be a cakewalk.

I think sitting presidents usually struggle in debates, particularly the initial one. They're busy leading the free world, while their opponent is studying and prepping for months.

Remember how strong Bush looked in 2000? Remember how awful he was against Kerry in their first debate?

 

[KingNothing]

I think Obama is bright but when you live in that echo chamber where you are never challenged, you tend to rest on your laurels. He came in unprepared and didn't respect Romney's debate skills..

If he was unprepared, it isn't because he is lazy or over-confident. It's because he's busy doing an exhausting job that wears people down, takes an enormous toll on a person, and eats up a large chunk of time that the challenger gets to spend preparing for the debate.

I think Republicans are making too much out of this debate, as lopsided as it was. Obama will do better next time, he'll start to play on everyone's emotions and tug on heartstrings, and narratives will change several times between now and the election.

Yep. And every media member was just itching to report that Romney beat Obama. Always root for the story, as they say!

For sure.

Leading the free world as in staying up late to approve more drone strikes. Yomama has plenty of time to go to fundraisers and speaking engagements...he does it all the time. Whatever the reason was he was unprepared had nothing to do with leading the "free" world.

 

[Kords21]

I think that Obama is one cold calculating kind of guy and his debate performance was no accident. Very little happens in politics that isn't allowed to happen. With all the polls coming out showing Obama ahead by a decent margin in several states, I'm sure he was told to tone it down a bit to keep people in the game and not thinking it's over and they'll start looking at more important things than trying to decide which of these puppets is better for them. Most people turn off a sporting event with one team is being beat handily and go do more important things, this is no different. Romney had to come out swinging for the fences or he was going to lose a lot of big donors, whereas Obama did what he had to do show up.

I think you really, really, really underestimate how difficult the job is. It's not like Obama goes to speaking engagements and fundraisers and sits back, has a few beers, shoots the breeze with his friends, and calls it a week. Just look at the before and after pictures of Clinton and Bush after a couple terms in office. It's ridiculously demanding.

 

[cajuncocoa]

No you stupid moron.

I will lay to waste this blog just like I banished to obscurity Calculated Risk, Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis, Patrick.net, soon to be Zero Hedge, and many other useless moderated blogs that banned me. I let Daily Paul still exist because it is still worth a shit.

Try me.

Go ahead, look at the anemic Comment counts and thread Reads on Zero Hedge now since I was banned 2 1/2 weeks ago. Scroll through the many topics and look at the # of comments on each thread. When I was there they got over 500 comments on many threads I was involved with. Look at them these days. Can you say dying web site?

http://www.zerohedge.com/

You'll find out. Take note of the traffic I drove to RPF thus far since I started blogging here again. That can go away real easy because I know the formula.

Darn. I always miss all the drama.

I see this guy got banned....how many days does RPF have left?

 

[osan]

You really believe that is what will happen?!

No, but Romney PWN'd Bammy in this one sense: he was a comfortable and capable fraud vis-a-vis a stumbling and stuttering one who, without his teleprompter to hold his wee and quivering hand to guide him through that for which he holds no understanding or ability, looked and sounded dispossessed of self in the manner of an idiot child who had lost track of his parents at the five and dime and, having realized it, was caught in that moment between realization and the onset of unbridled panic. It was pleasing to see the Klown exposed for once under a circumstance over which he had little control. No teley put him in deep. Media goes on about how fast on his feet he is. This little farcical comedy showed otherwise. I am sure he was coached endlessly for this and yet he performed like the town drunk who, just about to pass out for the night, is in no condition to face what stands before him. That part was satisfying for its own sake and shall be further so as we get to watch his idiot sycophants spin this yarn of nervous, cuticle-chewing failure to justify their continued idolatry.

I guess I have this now-perverse desire to see the three rings come to their fullest bloom such that it is so in-our-faces that the imbeciles comprising the greater population of the nation will once and for all be forced into acknowledging it for what it is. I want them stripped of the luxury of their self-willed stupidity that has for decades afforded them the pretext for shutting reality out in the manner of the weakling idiot of TV proverb who stands with his fingers in his ears, screaming "I can't hear you!" at the top of his lungs over and over again, all day and every day of his life, so pervasive being his want of avoidance of responsibility to even so much as himself and so great his drive to masturbate before a full length mirror.

I want reality to force these disgusting, self-erected, fatuously deranged morons to acknowledge the wild and howling political insanity that is roving the planet like the Four Horsemen, courtesy of their consent and demand. I want those sacks of quasi-human dung to be forced to openly admit that their personal characters are so profoundly, utterly, and rottenly repulsive that they are willing to allow the sacrifice to perdition and the destruction everything that is decent and good in the world in exchange for the master absolving them of all responsibility as they wallow in the filth of their boundless self-adoration.

I for one am sick and tired of this circus of creeping doom. Let us finally have an answer, one way or the other.
