Debate Open Thread (Update: Yes, Indeedy)
October 15th, 2008 at 4:57 pm by BrianDue to the dangerous health risks and rise in emergency room visits from the “My Friends” Drinking Game, Metro Health and Human Services has asked that Six Meat Buffet not have another live presidential debate thread.
Concerned citizens or bullying bureaucrats?
More importantly, does anyone think McCain’s going to do anything but bring a Nerf rocket launcher to a South Side of Chicago gunfight?
I’m voting early this weekend based solely on the performance tonight and then I’m done with this mess. If McCain stinks up the hall like a nursing home again then I am walking right into that voting booth and leaving the choice for President blank. Republicans need to admit that they have a problem and it’s not that they are too conservative.
My friends on the Right side of the aisle, in the future you might want to nominate someone whose main accomplishment includes something other than knowing how to take a beating. We’ll file that under “foreshadowing”.
I know. I don’t see “The Big Picture”. As if this cinematic nightmare has not been rolling across my screen for the past two years. It took eight long years of watching the people I voted for, showing no desire to lead whatsoever, to get me to this point. But I’m here now and I doubt I’m alone.
So….Debate Thread?
The Madcap Live Laughs after the jump. Might as well jump.
Bob Schieffer’s getting his last chance at relevancy.
Right out of the gate, McCain decides to bailout the people who, unlike me, bought a house they could afford and got a fixed interest rate. Why am I still paying mine? Just a fool, I guess.
The Middle Class is the helpless white woman from the old movies. Always getting in trouble. Always needing to be rescued. The Middle Class is a working gal on the side of the road with a flat tire and her exposed thigh hitching a ride.
The Middle Class gets me hot.
McCain smears Obama with plumber’s crack. As we all know, any type of crack is racist and planted by the CIA.
If I hear about “Joe The Plumber” again, I’m going to go stop up to the toilet so he’ll have job security.
Saying “tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts” will not win this election.
McCain did get a good line off, that didn’t sound rehearsed, about if Obama wanted to run against President Bush that he should have 4 years ago. He should have followed up with a point about working with who is in office and when has Mr. Post-Partisanship ever accomplished anything with anybody (offer does not include Chuck Hagel).
Bob Schieffer’s obviously not very familiar with the history of “dirty politics” if he thinks this campaign is somehow worse than 1828, or Bill Moyers’ Daisy Ad, or the NAACP’s James Byrd ad.
Men don’t cry.
Obama says that Palin has been encouraging people to kill him. What a lying piece of shit.
Finally, a hit on Ayers and ACORN.
Huh. Obama just implied that Biden would make a great President assuming someone assassinates him. Who can stand four years of his racebaiting bullshit?
Should children with autism be aborted? Come on! Follow-up question, Bob. That’s what a professional would do.
On Energy, McCain hits back on Obama’s fascist, go-it-alone, unilateral policies. We can clean up the environment and save energy by creating 45 new rainbow reactors to harness our nation’s vast unicorn reserves.
Free Trade gets brought up with Colombia – need to bring up his name being on a FARC leader’s laptop and him actively undermining US policies abroad. In Colombia, in Iraq, and everywhere.
Why do I run my own life? Why can’t the government come in and tell me how to do it? They do such a good job on their own of living clean lives and living on a budget. All the choices confuse and frighten me. Calgon, take me away.
Joe The Plumber, Joe The Plumber, Joe The Freaking Plumber. Lame.
Nominating SC judge on an abortion litmus test? Ruh-roh. McCain brags about putting Breyer and Ginsburg on the high court. That street only goes one way, John.
Obama sends his kids to a $20,000 per year per kid private school. He’s pro-choice on abortion and anti-choice on your kid’s education. So you can kill ‘em but you can’t take them out of a bad school run by his cronies.
Closing arguments – Obama argues for universal healthcare and universal college education. And your sacrifice will make his dream possible. Ugh. How did this one get this far?
WWJD?
What would Joe (the Plumber) Do?
October 15th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I’m for it, though Stacy and Michele might be going at it over on Twitter…also Conservative Belle is live blogging as well.
All of this new techology frightens and confuses me…
October 15th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Brian,
If this debate gives me another tummy ache, I’m going to go into the voting booth, stick out my hand, and call for toilet paper.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I shan’t be getting a twitter account. Blogging is gay enough for me.
If we wanted to have an open Skype call that might be interesting. I’ve got a bit of a cold though so I don’t sound like the cheery guy in my posts.
October 15th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
I sound like snow white on heroin. I don’t want any of you guys hearing me yap.
Twitter is not gay. It just sounds gay.
October 15th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Speaking of heroin.
Yes, “it just sounds gay”. Like a boot stomping in mud, only wetter type gay.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
I’m already intoxicated and about to take some sleeping meds. Please wake me in 2012.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Cranky, glad you are here…you missed the last two…
BTW, anyone see Dick Morris on O’Reilly? I loved his pre-debate analysis.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Brian,
I just posted that on the music chamber. Cranky don’t go to sleep and leave me alone with these freaks.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Michele…where are your antlers right now?
October 15th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
I like it. But my tastes run the gamut.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
On the folding table in the basement. I know. So unsexy.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
for the drinking gamers. Crisis is the code word.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Oh gosh…nice job McCain. Lead off with YOUR brand of Socialism.
Sheesh. I’m with Michelle Malkin. We’re Screwed ’08…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
I have to take the trash out, take a shower, then I’ll tune in. Hopefully it will be over by then.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
OK, Michele…but if either says “Acorn” or “Ayers”, we chug…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
Brian, you are still making your mortgage payments?
Sheesh, your such a moron.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
I chose those code words because I didn’t think I would be drinking at all.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I know! I payoff my credit card every month. I live within my means. I’m pretty much a dumb ass.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
If obama gets elected, I’m going back to Clinton era Michele. Paranoid militiawoman.
Joe should be the code word. or spread. or wealth.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Jump on the 95% tax lie! Jump on it! Jump on it!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
How do we have three whole debates and nobody once mentions abortion, gun rights, property rights, the War on Drugs, taxing the internet, etc., etc.
I hate this garbage where leftard moron moderators get to choose what America is concerned about.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
The media always frames the debate.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
It’s about Freakin’ time you told Obama to stop calling him “Bush”!
About.
Freakin.
Time.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Is McCain kicking ass or am I just tipsy?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Whip his you know what!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Where’s LK? Out being awesome somewhere else?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I think McCain is doing MUCH better than the last debate.
He is calling out Obama tonight, and Obama has NO response tonight.
Let’s see how he does on the John Lewis question…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Obama is doing the Al Gore smirking and sighing thing…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Obama’s a fucker. Oh. Did I say that? McCain running a negative campaign. My ass. What a shithead. Whoops. Wash my mouth out.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Obama did not repudiate Lewis. He could have done it right there. That would have been the honorable thing to do.
Barack Obama is not honorable.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Do I have McCain goggles? Cause this beer is really weak and he’s really old, but I’m liking him.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Looks like Michele has her antlers on…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Senator Obama – you’re misrepresenting my position on Illegal Immigration – I’m for it. You misrepresent my position on stem cell research – Suck Those Babies Dry – I’m for it!
Lady and Gentleman, your Republican candidate for President.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Obama actually defended Lewis.
What a dirtbag.
Those comments at McCain rallies btw, were directed at AYERS not Obama. Barry knows that.
McCain just brought up the t-shirts! Good for him. Let’s see Barry spin out of that.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:35 pm
Laurie’s going to bed.
Yay. He brought up the Cunt shirts.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Ayers and Acorn!
Let’s CHUG!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
I was writing you when you were writing me! I’m chuggin!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
preston needs to get out of the effing shower.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
And Franklin Raines…
And Jim Johnson…
October 15th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Are they in the shower too?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I don’t think Barry answered those questions truthfully.
Maybe I am naive.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
That TNOYF video on Raines was hilarious.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
I love it that he’s on the defensive.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Yeah…
Preston?
Cranky?
Where the hell are you guys?
Brian is carrying y’all (again)
October 15th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Nigel. Is twitter too gay for you now?
October 15th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I never said that. Anywhere I can get tag-teamed by two babes is good with me!
October 15th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
OK, I have a degree in Economics and this free-trade talk is boring the shit out of me.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Wow, he brought up FARC. At least he’s actually trying tonight.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Why would FARC rebels have e-mails on their laptops indicating that the gringos associated with Obama will work with them?
That would have been a nice question.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Preston, if you were really in the shower you missed a lot of mccain kicking butt.
October 15th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I’m sure there are millions of “undecided” voters googling “Barack Obama” and “FARC” and “Justin Timberlake” even as we type.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I’m sure there are millions of “undecided” voters googling “Barack Obama” and “FARC” and “Justin Timberlake” even as we type.
You either live in a fantasy world or you were being snarky.
I can never tell with you.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
I thought the Justin Timberlake gave it away.
I wish these two idiot rat bastards would shut up about health care. Health care is not a fucking RIGHT, you dickbags.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I really was in the shower Michele. Does that nauseate you even further? It should. I listened to some of it while in the shower. Sounded promising.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Preston, I am pretty sure I read it in the Constitution…I think it was the 57th Amendment of the copy the Obama campaign provided for me.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Mention the Born Alive act, McCain. McCain said he was a Federalist. Ha!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I listened to two minutes of it on the radio. I feel like I’m tied to the railroad tracks.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Hey Barry…how about the baby’s right to privacy? About not having a metal rod invading the privacy of the baby’s skull?
Just sayin’…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Donna…I’ll be your Dudley DoRight!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
there you go. Born alive act.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Heh! I knew it would all come down to Lily Ledbetter during this election. IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO LILY LEDBETTER!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Lie alert!
Lie alert!
Lie alert!
Lie alert!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Partial Birth Abortion is not about Government vs. Privacy – it’s about Right vs. Wrong.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Okay, baby (Nigel). I’m not particular.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
3 in the morning. Last call. It always comes down to Lily Ledbetter. But even then she only makes 70 cents on the dollar compared with male prostitutes her age.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Has anyone ever heard Barry say he was against partial-birth abortion before tonight?
That’s not what he told Planned Parenthood.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I can’t say lily ledbetter anymore. I need to lay off the booze.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Education. Barry’s specialty. He’s given (away) millions of Annenberg dollars to education…like the $200,000 for the Juneteenth celebration…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I hate to say it, but McShame has done a great job tonight. And I’m no fan.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Okay, I went and looked at ‘em on TV. McCain looks weird and is scaring me even more.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Education sucks. I think teaching Sex Ed. to 6 year olds is the quick way to bring up math and science. Sending 8th graders on a field trip in San Francisco to witness a gay wedding. That should help close the gap with Europe.
It’s time to clear out America’s universities. Tens of thousands of students being burdened with tens of thousands of dollars in debt right out of school for a degree that is worthless because they major in Sociology or Womens’ Studies.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Twiiter girls think McCain took his Cialis tonight.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Thank you John…throwing money at the education problem is NOT the answer.
Say it…vouchers!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Uh oh…here comes Barry with his Socialist Education plan…let’s involve the federal gubbermint even more!
October 15th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
yeah. No child left behind is a problem because of funding, and not because it’s a suck ass idea.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
I’m done with ‘em. I will early vote and write in Tancredo.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Donna wouldn’t do him though…btw, see Barry’s graying scalp?
October 15th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Hey y’all…it’s been a blast. Need to make a Taco Bell run now…
October 15th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
If a UFO lands, get on it. You’ll be better off.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Later Nigel. Thanks for indulging our mania.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
See ya Nigel. I’d vote for Tancredo in a heartbeat. Especially over these two assbags. However, I’m probably going to hold my nose and do the dirty deed to keep an Anti-American Marxist out of the White House and put an ill-tempered anti-Conservative Maniac in the White House.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
Bye Nigel. Don’t forget to untie me.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
MMM. Taco Bell.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Well, this was fun. Not as fun as taking the trash out, but still fun. Thanks for hosting, BMac.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Ya’ll miss me???
LK
October 15th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Yay! LK!
We missed you. But now everyone is off to puke.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
LK
I thought you went nigh night. Now you want to get chatty. Sheesh.
October 15th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I’m a recovering bulimic. Been doing that for years.
Oh..you mean ‘alcohol’??? I really need to employ some boundaries.
Hope all is well. I completely missed the debate but Michelle tells me she thought McCain McHandled it.
Did Barry stumble and fall and get his Nostrodamus approved blue turbin dirty???
LK
October 15th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Nah, Michelle…I rose from the dead…just like Obama will.
LK
October 15th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Yeah. We’ll check him in three days.
