Presidential Debate 1 - Your Verdict
-
That's what I was thinking Heck.
Can't Romeny just come out and express more moderate and liberal views now to attract the remaining middle of the road vote? With this board as the example I think conservatives are more concerned about beating Obama and would vote against him regardless of what they were voting for.

Yeah, the Republicans were getting so used to seeing bad polls and accepting defeat that they don't give a shit that he just turned back into a barely Republican guy from Massachusetts. If that's what wins, whatever.

Well I had rehearsal tonight so I will to check the DVR tomorrow.
I got home around 11 and have watched about ten minutes of Fox and ten MSNBC.
I'm guessing Romney had a pretty good performance since Sean Hannity was positively giddy and Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews seemed furious.
WSS
....... Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews seemed furious.
WSS
boy you werent kidding! just heard some of the venom! They said they wouldve had thier knives out! not an MSNBC debate! lol Matthews the tingle is gone
-
Just as i thought, Obama doesn't want the job anymore. He only wants the prestige of being a president but not the responsibilties that come along with it.
His body language spoke volumes and Moochelles body langusge spoke that she was going to kick Barry's ass when they got back to the hotel room.
after last nights debate the Vegas odds makers are telling their clients to put their money on Romney.
-
LOL.
Heckbunker DID admit Romney kicked ass, and then POUTED that Romney would have won no matter what.
and of course, his "friend" represents all Americans on earth. LOL
Kudos to Heckbunker for saying something honest, although he had to temper it
with left-handedly blaming Lehrer.
I mean, seriously, at least Heckbunker didn't blame the ALTITUDE (like his hero Gore actually did) LOL.....
for ObaMao showing America who he really is...and is not.
And he is not a competent president.
I wouldn't be surprised if ObaMao cancels the next debate or the rest of the debates,
especially the one on foreign policy - for whatever excuse his backers can muster.
Hey, maybe ObaMao will issue an "executive order" banning any more debates on national security... !!!
Meanwhile, ObaMao has allowed the Mid East to erupt into a flaminig, violent inferno.... and he says it's a "bump in the road" ???????
And I don't think Mr. slick foot in mouth Biden has any chance in his debate.
Should be fun ! I would actually give a couple of bucks to go in on a package of boxes of kleenex for Shep,
wherever he dallies.... he surely is devasted. Obamao's magic brilliance and eloquence was all in his and Heck's minds.
-
Reading comprehension was never your strong suit. I'm not blaming Jim Lehrer. I'm saying he did a lousy job. (Because he did a lousy job.) And I have no idea where you think I said Romney was going to win anyway.
And why am I replying to one of your posts? Shame on me.
-
I SAID left handedly.
Look it up, self-described brainiac.
Go back and look it up.
I don't remember how far back it was,
but you were spinning that Romney would probly win the first debate, something like that.
Maybe Steve can find it...
but criticizing the moderator... not one person on this board thinks, imho, that you
would be complaining about the moderator if Obamao had won big.
You betcha....

Again let me remind everyone to stay calm.
If Romney does great next time and Obama does even slightly better the press will be dancing in the streets claiming a moral victory.

So, heckbunker, you are denying that you figured Romney would win the debate?
So you figured that Obamao would win?
I gave you the benefit of doubt unfairly then.
So, you were WRONG about who would win the debate.
Or, was it that you thought it would be a tie?
In either case, you were totally, embarrassingly WRONG.
So, you deny that you were right.
Heckbunker is Chris Mathews drinking one too many tequila shots, I think.

Sorry, I don't run right to this board and haven't looked at until now, but yes, Romney clearly won last night. It was one of the more lopsided debates I can remember. I don't think it could have gone better for him. It changes the race.
If he'd done poorly, or Obama had done better, that probably would have been the end of it. Now the media narrative is "Romney's back!" Because they're all in the tank for Obama.
Funny, because someone was asking me last night if the conservative or Tea Party wing of the Republican Party would be upset this morning because Romney played it like a total moderate last night. Which just made me laugh. Not at Romney - at my co-worker. Because it's about winning, and Romney won. They wouldn't care if he came out for abortion on demand.

They still are. They just also what the story to draw attention.

Or if he were sending hundreds of American kids to their deaths in an unwinnable war with no positive goal in sight......
Oh sorry, that's your base.

And Cal I too was surprised to see Romney a, do as well and b, get any credit whatsoever.
I didn't expect Heck to give anything less than his honest opinion.
WSS
-
I don't get how you see universal agreement among media pundits that Romney fared far better in the debate than President Obama, and yet not question your belief that many in the media actually take their jobs seriously and don't secretly scheme for their liberal candidate buddies?
Is it possible that you're, you know, wrong?

They do care about that. I know I do. Among liberals I know, the war in Afghanistan is - easily - the number one complaint about the administration, followed by the continuation of Bush surveillance/anti-terror policies, and no movement at all in the war on drugs. Those would be the top three. If I had to go to four i'd say his lack of an effective policy to assist homeowners/stabilize the housing market.
Just to give you a little window into a world you clearly have little familiarity with.

Hey dipshit did you look at the CNN poll? Chris Matthews about had a heart attack with wimpy sniveling and bitching about Obama's Big Fail!
It took you almost a full day to come out of closet where you were licking your balls when you're boy got his ass handed to him last night.
-
I keep mentioning that Obamao has had more military deaths in Afghanistan in 3.7 years than Bush did in 8 years,
but Heck hasn't manned up and admitted that it's true.
Avoidance is his usual last resort defense....

Nope.
I think you're smart enough to know that a story can be written with a slant without actually lying.
You probably know that better than any of us.
And let us not forget that the mainstream media is a business too.
I think they will all grudgingly report a story that doesn't show their candidate in a good light.
Still depending on ideology they may treat that story somewhere on the scale between the kid glove and the chainmail gauntlet.

Oh I have many friends among the left.
We should draw a line between the old guard party faithful and the true left wing idealogue.
Or right wing if you prefer.
Personally I thought afghanistan was a waste of time money and lives ever since we got involved.
but since you delight in pointing out the inconsistencies of your latest bogiemen the Tea Party, I feel it's only fair to underscore the hypocrisy of those who showed such abject hatred for George W Bush.
If there still is an anti war drum beat I can barely hear it.
We can take the drug laws and the housing crisis to another thread.

Let's unpack this. Name me some of the mainstream journalists who you think are biased toward Obama.
