obama is such a pussy.  i never liked mitt romney, but i like him now.

Thank god our election is determined by who the alpha male is in a dog-like ass sniffing competition.  Whoever is strongest, loudest man wins!

At least that's how the winner of last night's debate was determined. Romney said nothing but nonsense, but he was louder and more aggressive, so he was the clear winner. Obama needs to watch some old Michael Jordan clips or listen to Big L or something to prep for the next debate. Instead of writing "Dad" before debates (which Mitt Romney isn't doing anyway -- that's all bullshit), he should be writing something along the lines of "KILL" or "MURDER." He needs to awaken that killer instinct or be prepared to join the one-termer club alongside snoozes like GHWB and Carter (the one-termer club blows -- you don't get invited to the same parties).

Good thing Bill Oh'Really is not running.

I know everyone is generally nice around the FOT board but shut the fuck up. That kind of shit has no place in rational adult conversation.

He's speaking his mind. Leave him alone.

Tom needs to get on the phone to Obama, stat.  I remember one of the very first Best Shows I heard that made me start listening regularly, when Z-Man was talking about how he was working on this puppet, getting all po-faced about how he could never reach the heights accomplished by Fozzie Bear.  Tom was all, "Listen, you've gotta get hungry.  You've gotta take that puppet and run laps with it.  You stand in front of the mirror every morning and say 'Fozzie Bear is nothing.  Fozzie Bear is garbage to us.'"

That said, Jim Lehrer was a disgrace, these "debates" have become worthless charades that achieve nothing except afford news-media figures the chance to preen and spin, and I am not convinced that that thing last night really changed any minds, though our gallant mainstream media is doing their damnedest to make it so.

Oh my god, look up some of Raad Man's old posts, this guy is either the longest running under the radar troll in FOT history or the biggest moron.

This is what really drives me crazy.  The media is a money making machine that needs this election to be closer, so it seems like they were predetermined to declare Romney the winner.

He'd probably make a good candidate. Wouldn't be surprised if half the class of 2016 or 2020 were right-wing pundits.

This is being said by someone who did not watch the Republican debates:  Last night, Obama faced -what seemed to be- a different Romney, more focused and aggressive.  The president's debate trainers will adapt.  The Romney stand-in will reflect these new characteristics and Obama will be prepared for the next round. 

Keep in mind the President hasn't debated, in public, since 2007.  Romney has participated in 19 this year alone.

He was like this during only one primary debate -- the one in Florida after Newt whooped him in South Carolina. Romney's clutch.

[AspiringCanadian]

I really wanted Mitt to do a handstand at the end of the debate to show off his pant lump.

[Gilly]

One thing Romney has going for him behind his creepy, bad guy from a movie looks is his kind voice. Even when he's aggressive towards Obama, he says it in a disappointed dad sort of way. It works. Although I think his foreign policy would stink, I think he'd be a great negotiator. But, that's really the only thing I see from him that I like just to make the record clear.

[cavorting with nudists]

Well, I think Romney's whole "disappointed dad" shtick is maximally obnoxious.  Calling your adult sons a bunch of liars and then equating the POTUS to one of them--it's the same old arrogant, insulting Romney, just a little subtler than usual.
