DEBATE thread - if you can stand 1 more second of this circus.

[violet72]

My whole ting the GOP is saying that we are worse off with Obama because he couldn't turn the economy around in 4 years (which he slowly is doing) so if god forbid Romney takes office and does not turn the economy around in 4 years does tha mean he failed? The economy is not going to turn around in 4 years hell it may take 12 years .

[JoeKv99]

But the thing is-- WE ARE BETTER OFF than we were 4 years ago. We really were in free-fall in November of 2008. Now, the Stock Market is near an all-time high, unemployment is dropping, housing sales are up, foreclosures are down.....

Ryan could've used some mouth moisteners. His drymouth was making me queasy.

*smacks JoeKv99 upside the head*.

Don't ever try to bring facts and logic into this discussion ever again!!!

[JoeKv99]

But even MITT ROMNEY Says we are better off!

(I WISH that Joe Biden would have bit back when Lyin' Ryan took that swipe at Scranton's unemployment- Paulie's hometown of Janesville WI is in a horrible slump right now.)

Anyway Rachel Maddow dissects the "better off"lie.....
You don't read the statistics?

Did anyone count how many times Paul Ryan took a drink of water? He looked nervous as hell.

^ That's what I noted when Snafu mentioned his voice cracking. I didn't count, but I noticed it like 4 or 5 times at least.

[Wynbish]

Maybe he was doing his own version of a drinking game

[SNAFU]

Yeah every time he lied he took a drink.

The hair switch reveals how CREEPY PAUL RYAN ACTUALLY LOOKS.

[romantico]

Biden looks very Reagan-esque. Ryan looks very Gollum-esque. What's scary is this is probably what Paul Ryan will look like in ten years.

[Marianne2]

And now I will have nightmares tonight from that image. Ryan's nose and eyes look too big for his head. It's scary.

[TheatreDiva90016]

Which is why I find it amazing when people talk about how good looking he is.

He's creepy looking.

[Marianne2]

If you don't stare too hard at him, I could see that. But, once you get the whole picture, it's definitely not pretty.

[doodlenyc]

Ugh...he looks like one of those creepy Lazy Town puppets.

LOL @ doodlenyc!

You're always so spot-on with descriptions. I distinctly remember when the Hairspray movie came out, you said that Travolta's eyes are close-set to begin with and the way they padded his face/head to make it larger made him look -- and I quote verbatim -- "like a ragdoll sewn by the blind." LOL! It's been over 5 years, but I still remember that line exactly and it still makes me chuckle.

[doodlenyc]

SM2, your memory is better than mine! I'm not sure what I posted yesterday!

[StageManager2]

Damn you, doodle! You forced me to trudge through this site's sh!tty search function, but I did have success at last. Here's the thread:

Wow...I gave up trying to search for stuff on BWW a long time ago. Thanks!
