Default Another absurd post from the Right

The President kicked Romney's lying arse in last night's debate, and now you're desperately post this nonsense? I don't believe you.

Enjoy President Obama's second term.

Obama kicked 'arse'? Really?? You seem to be a bit confused about what kicking arse is. For example, when a debate is won by say 70-30...thats kicking it. As romney did in the first debate. When the most generous polls give Obama the win by less than 10..not so much. Even those taken in by the fuzzy math of the last four years should be able to understand that.

All this thread does is remind us that people will cling to any argument, no matter how hollow and pathetic, to try to convince themselves that their guy is guaranteed victory.

We're in the idiotic/desperate season, where people will take any single data point (or made up "trend" based on little data) and cling to it while ignoring all other evidence.

I don't think Obama is ahead in Ohio anymore. He was, but not now.

I look at this as a win-win situation.

If Obama wins, the country wins and we don't have to suffer for the next four years under a Republican president.

If Romney wins, I win because Bill Maher and Jon Stewart will have a gold mine supply of material for the next four years for their shows that I will enjoy watching.

It is true. Currently, Mitt Romney is in the lead nationally. Two weeks ago, he wasn't. This week, we get to see how the debate played things out. Then, we have a couple of more weeks of campaigning and a final debate to see how things go.

It's been an interesting election. I think anyone claiming to know without a shadow of a doubt who will win is fooling themselves. It's almost a coin flip at this time: Will voter turnout be high or won't it?
