Obama is ASSINATING people.

This amuses me far more than it should.

So, the Vice Presidential debate is on...is anyone actually watching it?  I'm going to skip it, myself.

I would hope so.  I love that the Republican "math guy" hasn't said a damn thing about math this whole time except trying to psychically channel how big a pussy every nameless badguy in the world must think Obama is.

The media will probably spin it as a Ryan victory, anyway.  Hell, Obama lost the first debate by just not being exciting, but the way the media treated it you would have thought he ripped Lehrer's heart out and ate it on live television.

Damn, I'm reading through some of the comments and tweets and apparently Biden's kicking Ryan's ass, verbally.  I think MSH needs to see Biden at his best.

That would've made for some good TV. I'd watch politicians recreating Aztec rituals* any day.

* Yes, I know that eating the heart wasn't part of any of the Aztec rituals that involved cutting out the sacrificial person's heart.

Biden bent him over, poor kid.

Fox is spinning it as a colossal Ryan victory, and MSNBC is praising Joe with veritable verbal masterbation. I hate our media.

I really liked some Biden moments.  And I really liked the way he was perfectly willing to cut that punk ass bitch off in mid sentence and call him a liar.  I think that Biden kicked his ass up and down the stage when it came to foreign policy.  I'm less drunk then last time but that's not saying much. Ryan is so used to being able to peddle his bullshit to a bunch of credulous journalists who think the sun shines out his goddamn ass.  Good to see somebody stand up to that satan spawn.  When the final battle between heaven and hell comes Biden is so gonna lead a fucking cavalry charge into the flank of the deamonspawn that Ryan is leading.

How about the survey of people instead?  Shows Biden winning 65-35 through first hour.

I suppose Fox is bitching about how Biden was "rude" by interrupting Ryan, even though that was all Romney did to the fucking President of the United States in the first debate.  Can anyone say "double standard"?

Every word out of Bidens mouth was a curbstomp.

I just wish he had made it even more glaringly obvious how little information Rayan was giving out. Several times during the debate I found myself saying one word questions, hoping Biden would somehow pick up on them and say them.

"How?"
"When"
"What loopholes?"

I'm still unsure what Ryan says his policies are since he didn't say any sort of policies I understood, just that they were going to be better than Bidens. At least I know what Bidens policies are, dude. I try to be bipartisan but it seems like the whole republican party has turned into groaning zombies pleasuring themselves to Rand novels.

*sigh*

Then again, I've never paid taxes. Then again, I'm middle class, so I'd still probably be voting for Obama. >:I

I thought Joe started out kind of weak and on the defense, but as it went on it became more obvious that Paul Ryan didn't actually have any real answers and was just throwing numbers and blame around. Granted, Biden threw some numbers around too and they sounded only slightly less silly than Ryan's but it was really the end that drew it up for me. "Candidates, why you gotta be so mean?" They both dodged the real question, but Ryan just went off on a complete segue and just started spouting every talking point he hadn't gotten to yet. Although I thought Joe clearly checking off an item on his list as he said "47%" was a bit overt.
