Second 2012 Presidential Debate Wrap Up

When the high stakes second presidential debate started at Hofstra University Multiple Choice Moderate Mitt Romney was there. 

The problem for Mitt Romney was that 2007-2008 Obama was in the room and proceeded to spank that azz.

It was a town hall style format in which the questions came from the audience, and this time President Obama challenged Mitt Romney from the outset.   Romney also tried to run over moderator Candy Crowley like he did with Jim Lehrer two weeks ago in Denver and she wasn't having it. 

Neither was President Obama, who called Romney's butt out every chance he got and mentioned the issues he left on the table in Denver to the frustration of his base.  

The POTUS was on his debating A game last night while a flummoxed Mitt Romney made some unforced errors.   The critical one came when Mittens thought he had the POTUS cornered on a question pertaining to the Benghazi, Libya consulate attack and he was embarrassingly corrected not only by President Obama, but called on his lie that the president never called the Benghazi attack a terror one by moderator Candy Crowley.   President Obama also called Mittens butt out for playing politics with the issue as well and called it offensive his insinuation that the POTUS or any member of his administration would play politics with a situation in which 4 diplomats died.  




Mittens also got called on his immigration policies when the POTUS pointed out his campaign adviser was Kris Kobach, the author of the Arizona SB 1070 law Romney called 'a model for the nation'.

In the final question of the night Romney opened the door for the president to use the 47% comment against him and the POTUS whacked Romney with it in his closing statement as the debate ended..




President Obama was on a mission last night and he accomplished it.  He confronted Romney on his lies, vigorously defended his administration and his policies, fired up the base, and convincingly won this second debate.  Now we'll see not only how the conservafools spin this debate, but which way the polls go in reaction to this Obama win.   

They're already attacking Candy Crowley, so that means they think Mittens lost.

The October 22 debate in Boca Raton, FL with its focus on foreign policy will definitely be a fun and critical one.  Whether it determines the outcome of the election remains to be seen.  

Critical Second Presidential Debate Tonight

The format is a town hall style one with CNN's Candy Crowley as the moderator and 80 undecided voters,  but the stakes are even higher as Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama square off in the second of their three presidential debates at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY.

The polls are back to being tied after Mittens lied his way to a bump in them after their first debate in Denver and VP Joe Biden eviscerated Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) in Thursday's vice presidential debate.

Add to this situation the fact we already have early voting going on in several states including the must win one for Romney of Ohio.    Texas gets to join the early voting party starting on October 22, the date of the last presidential debate in Florida.

We will see later tonight which 'Multiple Choice Mitt' shows up tonight.   Will it be the moderate one who has been MIA for the last two years as he tried to secure the Republican nomination or will it be the 'Severely conservative' one? 

And you can bet President Obama will be ready to rumble tonight after being caught off guard by the surprise appearance of Multiple Choice Mitt.

Break out the snacks and get ready for one interesting 90 minutes of television that will have a bearing on who has the lead going into the final 2012 presidential debate in Florida.

2012 Vice Presidential Debate Wrapup

Okay squishy liberals, you can calm the f@$k down now.   Vice President Joe Biden handed Congressman Paul Ryan his behind in their debate at Centre College in Danville, KY last night.

You conservafools disagree with that assessment?   Wasn't it y'all who said just last week if you're complaining about the moderator your side lost the debate?   

Y'all were attacking Martha Raddatz before she even sat down at the table to ask her first question.   When your laughable (pun intended) rationale for declaring Ryan the winner is because Biden was 'smiling too much' and 'rude', yeah right.  

Vice President Biden was combative, took him to school on foreign policy and called Ryan out on his kill Medicare voucher plan.   The vice POTUS also repeatedly whacked him with the Romney 47% remark and reminded people that Ryan said something just as damaging in that 30% of the Americn people were 'takers'.

One of the best moments of the night was while Ryan was railing about the stimulus and how 'horrible' it was, Biden busted him with the revelation that he'd written two letters on behalf of his district asking for that stimulus money.   

Can you say 'hypocrite' boys and girls?   Thought you could.    That took Ryan from the Land of Policy Make Believe real fast on that subject.


Ryan also admitted that their ticket wants to kill Roe v Wade, which may prove problematic over the next 26 days with women voters in light of the vice POTUS reminding people the next president gets to select some Supreme Court justices who may determine whter Roe v Wade statys the law of the land.

But most importantly, Biden's win slowed the momentum that was starting to build  for the GOP after Denver and now sets President Obama up nicely for Tuesday's town hall debate on the Hofstra University campus.

Way to go Joe!

2012 Vice Presidential Debate Tonight

It's the Thrill In Danville, KY at 7 PM CDT, aka the Vice Presidential Debate between Vice President Joe Biden and challenger Rep. Paul Ryan.   Hopefully this will be more fun to watch than seeing last week's first presidential debate in which Mitt Romney lied for over and hour and a half and the POTUS admitted on the Tom Joyner Morning Show yesterday he was too polite in not responding to the non-stop lying.Mittens was doing.

While presidential debates usually don't determine who wins the election, this one may have the potential to do precisely that.   It's also going to be one that is watched by much of the American populace.

The 90 minute debate at Centre College will cover foreign affairs and domestic policy topics. Unlike last Wednesday’s presidential debate where both candidates stood behind podiums on a stage, in this debate, both candidates will be seated at a table for this discussion.

And hoping debate moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC doesn't allow herself to get run over and bullied ilike Jim Lehrer did.

Liberals: Chill The F%@K Out

I know y'all wanted the knockout blow for this 2012 presidential election in last night's Denver debate (and so did I), but did y'all really think Romney and company were going to roll over and play dead after all the money and dirty GOP politricks they invested in trying to win this election?  

Did you think that President Obama was going to have an easy time with a person in Mitt Romney who has repeatedly demonstrated that he will lie and say anything to get elected?

If you're being honest with yourselves, nope.

Remember, when we woke up yesterday morning the POTUS was leading in all 9 battleground states, the news was good coming from Nate Silver and they were starting to cast early voting ballots in Ohio yesterday morning. 

Relax. Last night's debate performance isn't going to change the fact that non-white Americans know that a Mitt Romney presidency won't do squat for them and we will be bumrushing the polls as we're doing in Ohio right now to make sure it doesn't happen.

Women, college students and seniors know Mitt in the Oval Office want do shyt for them.  We Black people haven't forgotten Mitt and his party doesn't care for us and we'll be voting accordingly.


We already know what Mitt really thinks about those of us Americans not in his and Ann's tax bracket and the 47% video reminding you peeps of that isn't going anywhere for the next 34 days.  

This is what we're up against in terms of Romney's base.




And liberals, remember, President Obama is still a #POTUSwhileBlack.  He can't allow himself to be seen as the 'Angry Black Man' that Mitt was trying to goad him into becoming last night.  A first debate loss doesn't determine the outcome of the overall presidential election. Ask President Kerry and President Mondale about that.  

So don't go into panic mode. 

There's the vice presidential debate October 11 and a town hall format style one on the Hofstra University campus October 18 that will probably favor the president because those questions will come from the audience with the final one happening on October 22, the day I and other Texans will begin casting early voting ballots.


So to say this in Samuel L. Jackson speak: Liberals; chill the f%@K out and go the frack to sleep.  We have 34 more days before this is over.

You'll need to wake up in a few hours more determined to have the president's back and be more energized than ever to fight for the November 6 win that we know this country needs.

Denver Presidential Debate Wrapup

"The trends look good for President Obama and the Democrats, but we still have a nerve racking 35 days to go, three debates and ballots that need to be cast and counted on November 6 before victory can be declared.  

Much is at stake when the two candidates face off in 90 minutes that will determine how the rest of this election shakes out."   TransGriot October 3, 2012

That's what I wrote before last night's debate.   Yeah, the conservafools are all giddy because Mittens had the strong debate performance he needed and according to the polls that the Republicans now suddenly don't have a question about their accuracy (big surprise) now have declared their guy the winner of this first presidential debate.

Jim Lehrer's pathetic debate moderation only put an exclamation point on what we non-white Americans were concerned about in terms of the lack of diversity in the moderator lineup when it was first announced by the Debate Commission. 

Lehrer let Romney run all over him like the Houston Texans Bulls on Parade defense did Jake Locker last Sunday.

While President Obama was ticking off the facts, Romney was lying his azz off and not getting called on it.  But at the same time he looked like he wanted to be there and the POTUS seemed like he didn't .   Maybe it was because it was President Obama's wedding anniversary, I don't know.   President Obama did look flat to me and as my GLAAD media training instructor Joel Silberman would have said about this performance last night, Romney did a better job of faking it until you make it.

But one thing Romney wont be able to fake over the next two debates and the next 34 days is his sudden conversion from Mr. Severe Conservative to Mr. I Feel Your Pain Middle Class Moderate especially in light of the overwhelming body of severely conservafool evidence he's anything but that..

But I was concerned about the fact that the POTUS seemed off his game and more concerned about not looking like the 'Angry Black Man' than calling Mitt Romney on his bull feces, especially in light of the fact Jim Lehrer wasn't.   

So we'll see how this plays out in the polls over the next few days, but this does place more pressure on Joe Biden in the Vice Presidential Debate at Centre College on October 11.  

And if anyone on the liberal-progressive side was concerned about our side being overconfident over the next 34 days, well people, we just got the wake up call to take nothing for granted, bust our asses to get the POTUS and every Democrat elected and keep running hard toward the finish line until November 7.

Hope the president and the Obama 2012 team got that message, too.

TS Separatist Chickens Out Of Debate Wih Cristan

If you believe strongly that your ideas are superior to someone else's, you should have no problem standing up in any venue to calmly and rationally debate someone with opposing points of view in the glaring light of public scrutiny.

But as radfems and their TS separatist auxiliaries routinely prove, they are incapable of doing that for multiple reasons.

They know deep down in their vanillacentric souls their positions are not only unpopular, they are on the wrong side of the moral arc of the universe and won't stand up to intense examination.

So they do what any group that's stuck defending a position based on a quicksand like foundation and a series of loud and wrong talking points does.  

They employ 'fear and smear' demonize the opponent tactics.   They use electronic brownshirt tactics worthy of the most seasoned conservative Republican operative.  They comment swarm opponents blogposts.  They lie, shout down and attempt to intimidate anyone who calls their azzes out.  They try to silence anyone who has irrefutable evidence that deconstructs and demolishes their erroneous, loud and wrong talking points they base their whole worldview on. 

And they refuse to debate them.

Like any vanillacentric group with privilege finding themselves being challenged by the marginalized one they terrorize and oppress on a regular basis, they try to flip the script and laughingly claim victim status. 

Cristan Williams has been hard at work along with others in the reality based trans community confronting the lies and compiling the research that has blown up many of the TS separatist talking points they've been pimping from their closed corners of the Net.

When they accused her of making it all up, she challenged their spokesmodels to debate her.

Lisa McDonald stepped up and accepted that challenge, but as we in rational trans world suspected would happen eventually weaseled out of the debate that was scheduled for last month. . I'll let Cristan tell you the rest of the story.

This is all I have to say about it to the TS separatist side.

TransGriot Update:  I struck a nerve in TS sep world with this post.  Lisa sent Cristan a note threatening 'legal action'.  It only shows the depth of Lisa's cluelessness and still doesn't detract from the fact Lisa backed out of a debate she proposed.   And after personally watching Cristan eviscerate our local Reicher Dave Welch on Fox26, I can say with reasonable certainty had Lisa honored her commitment, Cristan would have pwned her too.
