Everyone else ready to hear platitudes about the middle class, creating jobs, energy independence, and national security? I know I am. Don't bother me with any long-term, realistic, or practical solutions, please.

Maybe Ron Paul will burn the place down.

10/3/2012 8:03:08 PM

Why isn't Gary Johnson in this thing?

10/3/2012 8:48:51 PM

I'm debating watching this, taking a shit, or masturbating.

The latter two are looking promising.

10/3/2012 8:49:51 PM

I wish I had a dog in this fight.

10/3/2012 8:55:21 PM

Political theater. And why the hell isn't Gary Johnson there!

10/3/2012 8:57:13 PM

Johnson isn't there because the Republicans and the Democrats don't want him there.

Is their debate, and they aren't going to let some third party candidate steal the show.

and he does not even register nationally in the polls.....

I wish the PS3's YouTube app didn't suck at live streams.

Or maybe it's just YouTube that sucks.

10/3/2012 9:05:00 PM

I love it when incumbents say they "want to do something new" pretty much you've been there for 4 years and this idea just came to you why?

10/3/2012 9:10:46 PM

good start for Mittens

10/3/2012 9:11:20 PM

Because conditions change. For instance, we were in a major recession and now we are in a [slower] growth period.

10/3/2012 9:11:38 PM

health care reform got done

10/3/2012 9:14:02 PM

Obama looks flustered. what a pussy

10/3/2012 9:16:01 PM

Does the five boys line count as a zinger?

Also, studies are apparently bad.

hmm, let's take this to chit chat

haha, get all that fancy analysis the fuck out of here - believe what I'm saying RIGHT NOW

10/3/2012 9:19:59 PM

Mitt actually looking good early



But honestly only if you haven't been paying attention to him for the past year


I really wish obama would talk about what he is going to do instead of trying to hammer romney over his tax plan-it's a dead horse IMO

10/3/2012 9:21:19 PM

another way of saying "fuzzy math"

10/3/2012 9:21:41 PM

^^ Yea, Romney is winning this

So long as you ignore everything else he's ever said

10/3/2012 9:24:00 PM

uh oh, here comes the math

10/3/2012 9:24:35 PM

Ok, now Romney is sounding whiny.

[Edited on October 3, 2012 at 9:25 PM. Reason : MY TURN MY TURN MY TURN MY TURN MY TURN F YOU MODERATOR!!!!]

10/3/2012 9:25:03 PM

Have I just been ignoring the right parts or is Romney seriously saying he plans to lower taxes while somehow decreasing the deficit?

10/3/2012 9:25:46 PM

How will they attack the deficit?



They won't.

[Edited on October 3, 2012 at 9:27 PM. Reason : ^ Pretty much. Oh, but a) No tax cuts if it adds to the deficit...]

10/3/2012 9:26:36 PM

i need a drink

10/3/2012 9:31:51 PM

Two nerds arguing over shit. Obama wins as long as this stays technical.

Go with the nerd you know over the nerd you don't know.

10/3/2012 9:35:49 PM

Romney has lost the 5 and under vote!

10/3/2012 9:36:07 PM

Mah bingo card is empty so far.

[Edited on October 3, 2012 at 9:37 PM. Reason : Phone bs]

10/3/2012 9:36:15 PM

Maybe not the greatest idea for Romney to basically pre-fire Jim Lehrer from PBS while he's the moderator.

10/3/2012 9:36:17 PM

Obama is definitely out of practice.

10/3/2012 9:37:09 PM

oh snap, obama in with TIME TO END IT

10/3/2012 9:37:35 PM

Fuk yea just got solyndra, drink bitches

[Edited on October 3, 2012 at 9:39 PM. Reason : Also middle class missed it early]

10/3/2012 9:38:39 PM

OH SNAP! SOLYNDRA! OBAMA PICKS LOSERS! MAJOR THROW DOWN AND CALL OUT!

10/3/2012 9:38:39 PM

don't think he's run out of practice, he's just got a lot of 'splainin' to do for his failures

10/3/2012 9:38:53 PM

Romney not knowing about tax benefits of off-shoring is the least believable thing he's said.

/If you didn't groan, you weren't listening.

//Romney also apparently would have preferred the Articles of Confederation

10/3/2012 9:39:45 PM

social security? fuck that, we need old people, we're not touching it

10/3/2012 9:40:13 PM

oh i just thought of one

10/3/2012 9:43:26 PM

Romney coming in with the discredited talking points! And the debate now grinds down to TPM vs TPM.

10/3/2012 9:43:51 PM

damn, romney fucking himself now

10/3/2012 9:45:14 PM

Shit, Romney's got that shit eating grin.

10/3/2012 9:45:34 PM

*** fucking yawn***

10/3/2012 9:45:48 PM

yawn fucking

10/3/2012 9:47:23 PM

The only thing worse than this debate is my Facebook feed lol

10/3/2012 9:48:54 PM

haha, nerrbody wants Bill Clinton's ideas on their side..

10/3/2012 9:49:07 PM

Wow. Romney cannot handle having someone else tell him when he can talk.

10/3/2012 9:50:42 PM

Romney: regulation is essential

Jim is soooooooooo fired if Romney becomes President in a move that would earn dickhead of the year.

[Edited on October 3, 2012 at 9:58 PM. Reason : Ohhhhh. The death panels. I haven't heard of that in about 3 years. Thanks for the nostalgia. ]

10/3/2012 9:53:17 PM

ha, the shit eating grin obama just gave the moderator still has me laughing

10/3/2012 10:00:28 PM

Did Romney just argue for RomneyCare and against ObamaCare in the same sentence?
