The 2012 Three Ring Circus AKA The US Presidential Election

[Alien Space Bats]

Oh no, Obama is done for with this new winning strategy that Romney campaign has in the secret works to ensure his victory in the presidential debates. They have been planning clever zingers to throw at the president, and we all know the tremendous success that Romney has when telling jokes.

Truly, the Obama campaign won't be able to withstand this new and devastating strategy being pushed by those dastardly fiends at the Romney headquarters.

On behalf of Joe Scarborough, I have only one thing to say:



"Oh, Sweet Jesus..."

I really hope he uses the "There you go again" line, as if I was Obama I would respond by feigning disappointment in how Romney has to rely on Reagan quotes from 1980 and then mention how it is not all that surprising as that was the last time the Republicans had any fresh ideas.

Ohhhhhhhh. So it's liberal media bias that is making Mitt look bad.

Will this trite excuse never end?

I do like the typical response to requests of such claims.

"Asked to cite a specific example of media bias, Ryan demurred, instead asserting that most people who work in the media have liberal political affiliations and, therefore, would want a president who is a Democrat to win."

Seriously?

I guess if the cop is white he has a different set of rules for non-whites.......

This campaign is somewhat embarrassing and I am looking forward to November where we don't have to read about it anymore.

What could possibly go wrong?


I'm keen to see.

source for what? the source for the rolling stone article is the rolling stone article. if you disagree with their analysis of the republican/romney agenda feel free to say why.

I meant that the Rolling Stone article really didn't present anything meaningful. All it did was rehash Democratic talking points without providing evidence or citing any particular examples of Republican legislation (and the Ryan budget really doesn't count when one considers how imprecise it is).

you probably ought to read it again unless you need them to list all the specific instances of repealing obamacare.

i roll my eyes at obama supporters who assume that romney will wither in the face of obama's superior debating skills BUT i cant help but hope for a series of misplaced zingers that will make romney look a bit crazy/senile. i guess its the SNL fan in me. i can see the skit in my minds eye.

'i am watching morning joe this morning and it seems that the conservative twitterverse decided that the scarborough team altered the romney clip that provoked that "oh sweet jesus" photo.

it is so pathetic when one side looks to stupid conspiracy theories to explain away their candidates flaws.

The skit I see involves Romney suddenly denouncing his positions when he's allowed to talk, cackling madly as he endorses state-run healthcare, abortion, and gay marriage. When the gasps from the audience die down and the moderator manages to ask Mitt why he would stage such a sudden reversal, Romney would peel off the latex face mask he's been wearing the whole time and reveal that he's really...

Mitt Romney from the late '90's/early '00's, the RINO governor that created a working model for Obamacare! *dun-dun-dunnnn*

Yes, along with an evil goatee because even the true Mitt is incredibly cliche.

On behalf of Joe Scarborough, I have only one thing to say:



"Oh, Sweet Jesus..."

Did you hear about Limbaugh's claim that the crowd was actually chanting "Romney" and Romney was trying to get them to cheer for Ryan as well? My dad bought it even after watching the video.

it sounded to me like most people were chanting "ryan, ryan" wth a few chanting "romney, romney" so mitt getting everyone to chant both names makes better sense than him getting them to add his name in at all.

but the audio was from far enough away from the "romney" chanters (if any) that its impossible to tell if that is what happened. romney was satisfied with the new chant in any case. so some took it up even though it sounds feeble and lame on the video.

but most who can be heard were chanting "ryan" not "romney".

Was this before or after the claim that Obama is secretly bringing in Muslim Brotherhood operatives, or the notion that feminists have clandestinely chemically castrated him over the years..or (insert other wild-ass psycho-revisionist conspiracy here)

It was Friday.

So, could go either way, really.

Oh yeah, friday is the conspiracy lab day. The day where all the psycho-right propaganda machines float conspiracy theories out into the public to see which one is still bobbing along on monday.

Just to amuse myself, I decided to google 'proof - Obama - Muslim' a few minutes ago.

I now share this comedy gold with NSG:

http://www.norcalblogs.com/gate/2010/09 ... aid-so.php

I particularly like the photograph caption purporting to show 'Senator Barack Obama ... campaigning for Raila Odinga, the radical Muslim who is attempting to overthrow the lawful government of Kenya'.

That would be the Born-Again Christian Raila Odinga, current Prime Minister of Kenya, whose attempt to 'overthrow the lawful government' consisted of disputing the result of the controversial 2007 Kenyan Presidential election, where he narrowly came second in the official count.

But much of it is hilarious if you need a laugh in the run-up to the debates; more seriously, it provided me with some useful insight in the mindset of people who just can't accept Obama's legitimacy.

I just feel vaguely unclean now.

I love how many times the article goes "Thats a lie," after quoting something Obama said- naturally they have no proof of their own that its a lie, because proof is not necessary in the conservative echo chamber.

I agree. If Romney were to just debate Obama, it would likely end in a draw.

OTOH, if Romney focuses on zingers, he stands a real chance of getting his ass kicked.

Captain America does. And if it is good enough for Steve Rogers, it damn well is good enough for you.
