  1. Okay, the popcorn bowl is full, and the chips and veggies and dips are all set.  Plenty of forks for the hotpot dipping, and are there… Ah, yes, we’ve got lots of napkins.  Hate to put out barbecue ribs and not have plenty of napkins, that’s just wrong, and don’t try to tell me licking your fingers is good enough.

    Checking… oh, good; there should be enough ice and clean glasses to last the whole 90 minutes, no matter how hard this crew hits the bar.  Better cut up a couple more limes, though, just to be safe.

    By the way, there’s a bucket of Nerf balls over there for throwing at the screen — wouldn’t want to bust it.

    I’ll be in my room with my computer and the cats, if you need me.

  2. but how much do politicians care about being honest?

    Question from the ABC panel.

    Ya know, as sad as it is I’m going to CNN (online).

    Yes, Wolf makes teeth hurt the ABC looks like a highschool broadcast.

    Romney spends longer explaining why he can’t get into specifics on his tax plan than it would take to actually explain them?

  4. sricki

    especially when that fakey-fake smile is plastered firmly on his face.

    Isn’t excessive blinking a sign of lying or something?

  5. sricki

    Now that we know nothing can be proved or predicted, here are some more lies, platitudes, and vague sweeping generalizations.

    “Now, five weeks before the election..he’s saying his BIG BOLD idea is….”Nevermind”. ”

    /snicker

  7. Kysen

    that is the fault of the moderator.

    So, don’t bitch about it Mr. Dead Eyes…DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT…like, oh, I dunno….Moderate???

  8. sricki

    about time constraints. He must think he really has something to say.

    Wonder if candidates would find they had more time…if they’d shut the fuck up about their time.

  9. Bring down rates and deductions.

    “Suffering in this country.”

    Romney on a rant, slamming the hard times. Dropped below the middle on the squiggly lines as he went on too far and too long.

  10. fogiv

    no fairz!!!!!

    he’s looking very thin-skinned, and that’s bad for him I think.  anyone else seeing that, or am I gone goofy?

  11. Kysen

    a fraction of how much as he annoys me…Romney has not a chance in the world.

    Just a slimy smirking bastard.

  12. sricki

    the fact that Romney’s campaign won’t identify a damn thing. No specifics, no real details. Nothing to help us pin him down in any way. Romney’s policies are a lot like his personality… a great big murky, greasy puddle of… ooze.

  13. Kysen

    that his grandmother passed three days before the election.

    That has to still be rough…Presidency aside, politics aside…to have the woman who helped raise you pass away three days before what is arguably the greatest achievement of your non-familial life (marriage and kids, imo, will alway come before career in life highlights), would be tough as hell on anyone. Heartbreaking really.

  14. sricki

    “If you’re over 60 you don’t have to listen any further.”

    Yeah, go back to drooling on your check and your food stamps, you lazy entitled senile old fart.

  15. sricki

    and wants him to be president because A) he’s not Obama and B) she wants to look at him for 4 years.

    Should I have called the men in white coats by now?

  16. Kysen

    Of course you’d rather decide for yourself…you have the money to afford WHATEVER the fuck you want.

    /facepalm

  17. sricki

    Citing pesky factual things like numbers and studies again.

    I want to see a president who’s not tied down by facts or reality. That’s the only way I’ll ever get my unicorn.

  18. sricki

    slightly unsettling.

    Didn’t Mittens’ mother ever tell him that if he keeps making those stupid faces his expression will get stuck that way?

    Oh it already is? Shucks.

  19. Kysen

    he leaps in on a pause and won’t then listen to the moderator try to shut him up.

    In case I’ve not yet said it….Douchenozzle.

  20. sricki

    Ohhhh, so that’s why his family is so full of assholes. It’s all because of his mansion… and his cars… and his jet… and and and…

    Damn, that’s a lot of hurt, Mitt.

  21. He was flatlining and then it spiked just for that statement.

    Says that that sample group at least wants the parties to work together. That is not what the GOP has done.

  22. Kysen

    and ‘stealing’ more talking time…ignoring the sputters from DeadEyes (who really is not moderating at all).

  23. Kysen

    One of the things that disgusts me the most about them…the NEEEEEED to be smarmy.

    Just makes the douchenozzles who do it look petty and small.

    And they are SOOOOO proud of it…half the time it is said with a knowing smirk like they just got away with something of import.  

    It is one of my cues to ignore everything else that comes out of the speaker’s mouth.

    /eyeroll

    And Sully thinks POTUS might have just lost the election.

    Methinks folks aren’t remembering the last election.  Debating isn’t POTUS’s strong suit; he’s wonky and rambling and not particlarly aggressive.  I also think folks on lefty blogs and twitter took Romney way too lightly.
