The questions will be so insanely stupid, that all sentient Americans watching will be scratching their collective heads. If this were my debate drinking game posting, I’d have you take a drink for all questions posed which would make you believe the moderator had an IQ lower than the percent chance that Lindsey Lohan will go one full year without performing some court ordered community service. That’s mean of me, I know, better call in sick for Thursday now. This prediction is not bold however. Every four years, there are four evenings in October in which I end up throwing things at the telly, wondering how the talking heads managed to graduate high school, and then I realize suddenly, the state of our public education system.
The questions will start and end with a premise that basically says the more conservative candidate is anywhere from amusingly foolish to a down right evil radical who belongs in one of Joseph Stalin’s gulags. Look for something like this, “Governor Romney, given the irrefutable evidence that global warming is a reality and that the debate has been declared over by such great scientific minds as Al Gore and Ban Ki Moon, how could you possibly continue to hold your obviously mindless position that economic considerations be given any thought at all when compared with the impending doom of bazillions of innocent lives?”
During the debate, watch for questions from the audience, which look suspiciously like Democrat Party Plants, even though we will be given every assurance that they were all previously screened and certified to be, “uncommitted voters.” In years past we have all heard the pointed questions proffered up with an accusatory tone by that, “randomly selected,” individual, for instance asking George H.W. Bush in 1992 how exactly he was affected by the recession. A recession by the way that stands as the softest experienced since the Depression of the 1930′s. As it turns out, that particular woman was not an uncommitted voter as advertised, but a Clinton campaign staff worker who was planted in the audience with the foreknowledge of the CBS team moderating the debate. Thanks to Al Gore’s internet, these fraudsters are easier to identify in a much quicker manner.
After the debate, look for every person appearing on television to claim victory for the candidate that they personally are there to speak for. Look also for focus groups galore to declare that the candidate that matches the bias of which ever network they appear on to have won handily. (This means that Fox will declare Romney the winner, and everyone else will call it for the Bamster.) In as much as the talking heads will identify for us the clear winners and losers, as if we were incapable of determining that for ourselves, history will have its final say which will bear no resemblance at all to the banal analysis spoon fed to us on debate night.
Here is the new meme of how Bush 43 actually won in 2000, despite the fact that the talking heads at the time told us that Al Gore clearly won every single debate.
By the way, George W. Bush defeated Al Gore because Americans found that his policy positions reflected by and large their core principles closer than Al Gore’s did. He won those debates due to his ability to articulate those positions more concisely than Al Gore, and in a language spoken by Americans at large.
Question: What do Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore, and John Kerry all have in common. They were unanimously declared to be debate winners, and all given the inside advantage to win the Presidency by the talking heads lending us their expert analysis on the network news shows.
look for dishonesty emanating from every exhalation of Barack Obama that he sends past his vocal cords. He will tell us that 4 Million private sector jobs have been created on his watch, that the free market system’s failure was the primary cause of the current economic mess, that his health care bill will help solve our budget problems, that increasing tax rates will help pay down the national debt, that his budget proposal will save $4 Trillion, and then he’ll be warmed up. Watch for Mitt Romney to pounce on those obvious fibs, hopefully with the same brutal force that he showed Newt Gingrich.
Expect a disproportionate number of questions focusing on supposed women’s issues. This is a major Obama campaign theme, and the economy, falling GDP, national debt, deficit, and all else will take a back seat to making Mitt Romney seem like the evil Bond Villain too cheap to kick in a ten spot monthly in order to enable Sandra Fluke her consequence free lifestyle.
Note to Mitt Romney: Just state that you wish Sandra Fluke the very best of health in what ever she wishes her lifestyle to be, just don’t expect all of America to pay for the fun that she should be providing for herself. In that regard, I personally agree with that Clinton brain child, don’t ask, don’t tell.
On the one hand, the debates are important in that this will be the first time that the challenger is seen on the same stage and venue as the incumbent President. America will see for the first time, if they have never actually heard Mitt Romney speak whether or not his views on a plethora of issues are as far out there as the Twilight Zone as they have been told. By and large, those who are already decided on a candidate will not be swayed, no matter what happens. If there are any Americans who have still not made up their minds, they will either have their preconceptions of Mitt Romney confirmed or disproven on Wednesday evening. That, beyond any of the positions taken by the candidates will determine who wins and who loses.

Gore did not even win his home state of Tennessee (the state with the neo-Nazi flag).
Romney better not start praising Obama as McCain did.
Obama can trip on his d*** and the media will still claim that he won.
Btw Flyovercountry nice work on this thread. You put a lot of effort into it.

The Upcoming debate -- No more Mr. Nice Guy
@ Speranza:
If Obama trips on his dick, the MFM will go on about how well endowed he is. You can take that to the bank. We already know the media will talk about Obama’s brilliance and Romney ‘s failure no matter what actually happens tomorrow night. It’d be nice if there were real reporting on the debate. There will be here and on other blogs, but Obama owns the heavily mortgaged soul of the MFM.
I submit these as DRINK buzz words.

@ Iron Fist:
The entire point is that it matters not whom the press declares to be the winner and loser. They will, as they always have been to date, be proven wrong in another 4,8, or 12 years time.
As soon as Romney walks on the stage and does not sacrifice a small child to the God of unfriendly corporate take overs, he will have won more voters over than Barack Obama. That is how winning and losing in these beauty pageants is truly measured, which by the way, no degree of in depth analysis, no matter how banal, is capable of determining until after November 7th of this year.
@ Flyovercountry:
Yeah, I expect that it will remain close through election day. I just hope Romney pulls it off. Four years of additional Obama is cruel and unusual …
I think that Romney should lay out the details of
the sleazy land deal that Obama and convicted felon
Tony Rezko did.
Whatever question he is asked Romney should say,
“First I want to explain the Presidents land deal.”
People will not like it when they understand.

Since Bill Clinton did not refer to his challenger as “President Bush”, but as “Mr. Bush,” Romney should call Obama, “Mr. Obama”.

But once the Rezko land deal is explained he won’t be able
to wiggle off the hook.
If they go at Romney’s wealth he should simply state “At least I spend my own money and not trillions of yours”

He should call him a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure. Ask him when he’s planning to open an investigation on the murder of Ambassador Stevens -- or does he only make phone calls when a Democrat plant gets called a slut by a talk show host.
And while he’s at it, maybe he can tell the survivors of the Ft. Hood massacre victims when he’ll be bringing the killer of their loved ones to justice.
@ Carolina Girl:
Did you see where the Embassy in Libya had asked for increased security? I’d ask Obama if he’d care to explain to the American people why that is …

It’s no longer a presidential campaign, it’s reality TV. That said, the Libya debacle may well provide the tipping point and Obama won’t be able to toss Hillary under the bus in time -- I would have thought she would have been jettisoned early on.
@ MacDuff:
If he tosses Hillary under his bus, he loses her husband Billy Jeff. The Clinton endorsement is just about the only positive thing he has right now. You want to see the polls shift immediately in Romney’s favor, just watch was a Billy Jeff back stabbing would look like to the Bamster.

NO no no no no! I’ve met a few dozen folks of the Mormon faith, and believe me, they really love them some Jesus! Make no mistake about it, they are Christians. They just also happen to believe that one of the tribes of Israel came here to America some how, and that Jesus had himself a second resurrection, so that the people in this hemisphere would not completely lose out on their chance for salvation.
I don’t know if I got it all 100%, but I do know that they believe in Jesus.

Yep. He’s hinted at it in oh so many ways. From his speech in Cairo to the ‘prettiest sound on earth’ his outreach and now funds going to Egypt.

II’d have a lot more respect for him if he’d just admit the obvious. I don’t think hes a Muslim, though. I believe he is an atheist who has a tremendous veneration for Islam. If he had faith he’d be a muslim, but Obama doesn’t recognize any god other than himself.
@ Iron Fist:
Makes one wonder about the electorate in Delaware. They sent that buffoon to the Senate beginning in 1972 and every term until he became the Vice Stooge.
Here’s something on this supposed Catholic vs. Mormon row. As religious feuds go, it’s pretty thin gruel.
@ Iron Fist:
I agree.
@ lobo91:
The sheer incompetence of that really floors me. That Obama didn’t want to offend the Mohammedans is the likely reason behind it. Libya is enough reason to get rid of this stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure …

One thing they mentioned on-air that wasn’t in that piece is that the security contractor recognized the problem and wanted to bring in a more capable (and presumably armed) firm to augment security at the site.
The State department vetoed their request, because their contract “doesn’t allow for subcontractors.”

If Obama were a Republican the Libya debacle would seal his fate. No Republican could survive such abysmal failure in an election year. We’ll see about Obama. Instapundit links a devistating ad from American Crossroads.

I think Libya may well be the “final straw”, the tipping point as it were. Benghazi was such a monumental screw-up that it’s indefensible at any level -- they’re not even offering a defense and nor are they’re surrogates.

The plan is to use the “ongoing investigation” line to silence questions until after the election.
@ MacDuff:
The only thing in th eBush Administration that came close was Katrina, and that was only after a week of hyperventaliating by the MFM if full Demonize George Bush mode. This would break any Republican. The only question is can five weeks of non-stop covering by the MFM save Obama, or is it too late for even that to pull it out for him. An Ambassador was assassinated. That is a big fucking deal, to quote the VP. It hasn’t happened since Carter was President. And this one is all Obama’s. He can’t really hide behind anyone. Sure, he could maybe throw Hillary Clinton to the wolves, but he’ll lose anyway if he does that. As pointed out above, Billy Jeff will take his toys and go home if that happens.
