(1,941 posts)I hate Rmoney and I hate Republicans like a Baptist hates fun but he's glib and speaks with passion while Obama's his usual stumbling, uming and ahing self. He does great when he's reading a speech he had time to mull over and write but he's never good on his feet.
I felt the same way in 2008. In his favor, McCain was even worse. Palin scared the shit out of me because she was a vapid, empty-headed bimbo but she could deliver those idiotic lines like a champ. When I saw her debut I feared we'd just seen the next Reagan. Fortunately, she became self-parody and only effective with the die-hard believers. She has no crossover appeal, not like Reagan, thank Cthulhu.
Nobody is fact-checking in this debate so if you don't already know, all you have to go on is delivery. Rmoney's spanking Obama.
There's plenty of opportunities to kick Rmoney's fucking teeth down his throat but Obama's just not got the fight in him. God, this pisses me off. And for anyone who says this is a concern troll, fuck you. This is about policy, not a cult of personality.
