Big night for Romney tomorrow! (He has never met a black man before.)

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.
“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”
Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
We won’t go back.
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.
Celebrate the fucking wins.
“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”
It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
“I was told there would be no fact checking.”
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
When they say they’re pro-life, they don’t mean yours.
Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Blacks v. immigrants ad on MSNBC.
Going to be a long month.

Ken Jennings made a funny. That’s pretty awesome.
I know people may bitch at me for jinxing, but I honestly think Obama is going to absolutely crush Romney. It will be because Romney will step on his dick until it turns purple from the abuse, but it will be a crushing nonetheless.
I can’t wait. Let the self-dick-stomping commence, ETA 29 minutes…

I was up all night last night with a stomach virus. I am exhausted. I can only hope I will be able to stay awake through the whole thing.

Also funny: Atlas Shrugged II is advertising during MSNBC’s pre-debate coverage.
Are these ads playing anywhere else? I’m live-streaming from Australia. I thought it was gonna be a Todd Akin ad or something – it had the low production values of a local congressional campaign.
Made me laugh!

Yeah I saw that before I turned off Game Night In America!1!1! on MSNBC
Looked like a Sci-Fi movie if I didn’t know the story

@Fuck ALL the chickens! (né Studly Pantload, t.e.u.u.): What’s the over/under on the number of times when we’ll hear Romney say something bizarre and all turn to each other and say “was that a zinger? I think that was supposed to be a zinger.”
I’ll take ten.

@dmsilev: Maybe we’ll all be too drunk to tell. We need a designated driver to tell us if what we think might have been a zinger was really a zinger or just an imaginary zinger.

I wonder if Romney will make a fool of himself.

Well, whatever they tried to fix the comments failed badly. It timed out & now tells me my comment is a duplicate even though I don’t see it up there

Is it true that the real reason Mitt Romney didn’t sleep well last night is that a group of Planned Parenthood supporters held a loud, all-night protest outside his hotel window? http://wonkette.com/485804/zingfest-2012-is-almost-upon-us#IDComment454878005
So full of win if true.

The debate-watching party I’m going to will be dry. (That’s what I get for having friends who are in recovery.) But I will have some sweet, sweet hard cider waiting for me when I get home to ease the stabbing pain.

Ann Romney looks like she’s in a bitchy mood (at least from the MSNBC shots of her).
I will be almost as happy to be rid of her as I will be to be rid of Mittens come November 7th.

I predict the people who have instant reaction dials will turn their dials negative as soon as R-Money starts stammering through his first lie.

Okay, I opened a 2004 Alexander Valley Cab.
