Vice-Presidential Debates

[masterofmidgets]

Yes, I know everyone is already sick of hearing about this. But I just wanted to add my voice to the great many saying "McCain, what the fuck were you thinking?" Warning: I am pretty strongly in favor of Obama, I want to have Joe Biden's children, and I want to stab Palin with a rusty knife. So, you know, this may not be the most balanced interpretation of the debate. But this is the conversation hanjuuluver  and I had while we were watching it.


Envy-chan says:
is it on now?
Ed-san says:
yup
Envy-chan says:
wow. I just started listening to her and she's already annoying me.
Ed-san says:
she is so ungrammatical *twitches*
Envy-chan says:
and Biden just smirks at her for her stupidity.
Ed-san says:
oh my god that made no sense
Ed-san says:
how can we fix climate change if it's natural cyclical change what?
Envy-chan says:
god knows
Ed-san says:
ooh, subtle rascism for the win
Envy-chan says:
well, not so subtle, really
Ed-san says:
three seconds and I already want to have Biden's babies
Envy-chan says:
despite the old thing?
Ed-san says:
the old does not matter

Envy-chan says:
and she's /laughing/?
Envy-chan says:
I also like how they aren't afraid to mention nuclear power
Envy-chan says:
are you kidding me?
Ed-san says:
domestic sources of energy my ass
Envy-chan says:
no one believes that
Ed-san says:
the US has 8% of the world's oil
Envy-chan says:
they all know we're running out of gas
Ed-san says:
even with Alaskan drilling we'd be screwed
Envy-chan says:
rape?
Envy-chan says:
seriously?
Envy-chan says:
wow
Envy-chan says:
way to go
Envy-chan says:
who would say /no/ to that
Ed-san says:
well, this is the woman who approved a bill to make rape victims play for their own tests for evidence collection
Ed-san says:
what is clean coal?
Envy-chan says:
I have no idea
Envy-chan says:
 it's kind of losing me.
Envy-chan says:
yay!!!!
Envy-chan says:
*glomps*
Envy-chan says:
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
Ed-san says:
the Obama/Biden ticket is really LGBT friendly from what I've read
Ed-san says:
Obama is even in favor of repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Envy-chan says:
?
Ed-san says:
which I am in favor of just to see the SGA fandom explode
Envy-chan says:
I don't think I've ever heard of that.
Ed-san says:
Don't Ask, Don't Tell? It allows gays in the military as long as they stay closeted and never let on they might be having sex
Ed-san says:
people who have to emphasize how tolerant and accepting they are...aren't.
Envy-chan says:
oh as if a lot of military people are gay
Ed-san says:
they are
Ed-san says:
actually
Envy-chan says:
so no gay marrage?
Envy-chan says:
why?
Ed-san says:
*shrugs* but Obama/Biden do support civil unions, which is better than nothing?
Envy-chan says:
true
Ed-san says:
I...don't think churches should have to recognize gay marriage or perform them
Ed-san says:
I think they /should/, but they shouldn't have to
Envy-chan says:
true
Envy-chan says:
but I think that should be something up to the church itself
Ed-san says:
yeah
Envy-chan says:
the government should stay out of it.
Ed-san says:
yeah
Ed-san says:
legally, they should have exactly the same rights
Ed-san says:
just like you can be an atheist and get married
Ed-san says:
gah Iraq bullshit
Envy-chan says:
Iraque is a major arguign point
Ed-san says:
I like what Biden is saying
Envy-chan says:
me too
Ed-san says:
not talking about winning, just about getting the fuck out
Envy-chan says:
ummm... no, you just suck.
Envy-chan says:
at this point no one wins, no one looses. we just withdraw
Ed-san says:
and Iraq immediates falls into civil war, which is going to happen no matter what, and work their own shit out
Envy-chan says:
it's tragic, yes, and we will probably be blamed for it, but there isn't any avoiding it and it's their issue
Ed-san says:
yes
Ed-san says:
and frankly, I found out this week one of my friends from my dorm is bieng deployed. I want us the fuck out.
Envy-chan says:
yikes
Ed-san says:
yeah
Ed-san says:
I kinda love how obviously stupid he finds Palin
Envy-chan says:
he's giving he that look of "poor nieve little thing" look that most people give toddlers when they do something embarassing and stupid without realising it.
Ed-san says:
yes, thank you
Ed-san says:
Pakistan important. Afghanistan important. Iraq fail
Envy-chan says:
and she laughs.
Envy-chan says:
indeed
Envy-chan says:
we didn't even have any proof about Iraq when we invaded.
Ed-san says:
and once we got there, we found out we'd been lied to, misled, and mistaken
Envy-chan says:
and yet we've still been their for several years
Envy-chan says:
oh yess
Envy-chan says:
they would /totally/ destroy the earth
Envy-chan says:
because world domination is just totally possible
Ed-san says:
god, Colin Powell
Ed-san says:
Colin Powell was so awesome
Ed-san says:
they do not hate our tolerance and democracy
Envy-chan says:
and you desroy people's respect for women's rights.
Ed-san says:
they hate our high-handedness, hypocrisy, and economic imperialism
Envy-chan says:
take that
Ed-san says:
watch him dish it out
Envy-chan says:
he has expressive eyebrows
Ed-san says:
I like his body language
Envy-chan says:
me too
Envy-chan says:
it adds emphisis to points. Pailen just looks smug and self-centered
Ed-san says:
yup
Envy-chan says:
look at that
Envy-chan says:
gah
Ed-san says:
and god, haven't 8 years of reactionary stupidity been enough? We could do worse than someone slow to acton because he tries to talk things out first
Envy-chan says:
Holocost?
Envy-chan says:
are you kidding me?
Ed-san says:
she loses points for breaking Godwin's Law
Ed-san says:
okay, this is not the time for Governor Fluffy Bunny
Ed-san says:
that...is a really random tangent
Envy-chan says:
we both love Isreal? No. We're going to announce on live telivation taht will probably be brodcast world wide that we hate the center of the Christian religion/this entire country and make sure we point out we hate people.
Envy-chan says:
Thank you!
Envy-chan says:
wow
Envy-chan says:
fail
Ed-san says:
granted, this is a pretty thorough verbal slap-down, is it not?
Envy-chan says:
true
Envy-chan says:
she looses major ground
Envy-chan says:
she sounds kind of desperate, she doesn't have good word choice, and makes no logical sense
Envy-chan says:
we're also forcing them into a demorcracy via violence
Envy-chan says:
sounds like dictatorship to me!
Envy-chan says:
way to go!!!
Envy-chan says:
yes!
Ed-san says:
oooh, way to correct and avoid an overgeneralization
Envy-chan says:
I appreciate that he caught himself and corrected his phrase.
Ed-san says:
to add to list of things I love about him and Obama: not afraid to concede that they were wronga nd have reevaluated their viewpoints
Envy-chan says:
yup
Envy-chan says:
yes! way to go! bring in personal experience!
Envy-chan says:
so... you claim that you don't know anything?
Envy-chan says:
well, that's good I guess. at least she's aware of the fact.
Envy-chan says:
But, um, yes. People do realise when they're wrong
Ed-san says:
someone also pointed out that she used the word nuculer
Envy-chan says:
as if this is a war anyone can win
Ed-san says:
ooh, that's a good question
Envy-chan says:
yup
Ed-san says:
and one that everyone's been thinking, I know, since people think Obama will be assassinated and McCain will just die
Ed-san says:
Biden's summation was good
Envy-chan says:
yup
Ed-san says:
oh my god stop saying that word!!!!!
Ed-san says:
*needs to slap a bitch*
Envy-chan says:
heh
Envy-chan says:
omg she is ...
Envy-chan says:
just
Envy-chan says:
wow
Ed-san says:
the average working class America doesn't /get/ government! They should be served by it, but the government needs to be people who /understand/ stuff
Ed-san says:
also I have been to Wilmington XD
Ed-san says:
*glares* your cutesy smalltown America act does not amuse
Envy-chan says:
nope
Envy-chan says:
it makes her look even more like...
Envy-chan says:
well, I assume I don't have to finnish that sentence
Envy-chan says:
well at least you admit NCLB sucks
Ed-san says:
thank god
Ed-san says:
tone down the smarmy grin, Biden
Ed-san says:
but wow, Palin
Envy-chan says:
wow
Envy-chan says:
she totally crossed a line just not
Ed-san says:
um...no more power in the executive office plz thnks
Envy-chan says:
acknowlage that the VP has nothing to do with the president
Ed-san says:
YES YES YES THAT IS WHAT A VP IS FOR
Ed-san says:
does she know that the original VP was jsut the runner-up?
Envy-chan says:
the senate is there to oppose the president if it needs to
Envy-chan says:
/balance of power/
Ed-san says:
*beams* yes, Cheney bashing!
Envy-chan says:
bring out the constitution!
Ed-san says:
we need more constitution
Envy-chan says:
we do
Envy-chan says:
focus on the actual laws, not on ego
Envy-chan says:
oil and gas regulator?
Ed-san says:
oh my gos you just said that
Envy-chan says:
no, you have nothing to do with that
Envy-chan says:
*head desk8
Ed-san says:
and yes, a small business owner prepares you so well for governing a country
Envy-chan says:
wow
Envy-chan says:
epic fail
Ed-san says:
sympathy=/=actual understanding/ability
Envy-chan says:
unappoligetic?!?!?!!? PERFECT?!?!?!!
Ed-san says:
eeew, Reagen-quotage for the fail
Envy-chan says:
do you realise the nonsense you're spouting!?!?!?
Envy-chan says:
GAH!!!!
Envy-chan says:
*bashes face in with barbarian club*
Envy-chan says:
that has nothing to do with change
Envy-chan says:
that is being a minority position
Ed-san says:
oh my god stop saying maverick
Envy-chan says:
there she goes with winning the war again!
Envy-chan says:
and staying in the war will only make our economy worse
Envy-chan says:
what are you talking about?!!?
Envy-chan says:
although now Biden is using that word every other word
Ed-san says:
but he is using it in a meaningful way - ie bitching her out over calling him that
Envy-chan says:
true
Ed-san says:
ooh, I like this question
Envy-chan says:
which is good
Envy-chan says:
yes, point out how you do change your mind when you need to!
Ed-san says:
her anecdotes needs to be set to a High School Musical song
Envy-chan says:
heh
Envy-chan says:
that would be amusing
Ed-san says:
and apt
Ed-san says:
and her answer failed
Ed-san says:
you've never changed your mind about anything? You've had the exact same opinions your entire life?
Envy-chan says:
it's gunna be ok?
Envy-chan says:
pfft
Envy-chan says:
wow
Envy-chan says:
epic fail
Envy-chan says:
way to try to make everythign sound like a fary tale.
Ed-san says:
she's very vague in some disquieting ways
Ed-san says:
and what the fuck was that
Ed-san says:
"Golly gee Joe, talking to you is bully keen!"
Envy-chan says:
heh
Envy-chan says:
again with the regan quotes
Ed-san says:
STOP QUOTING REAGAN GOD
Envy-chan says:
oh
Envy-chan says:
you did not just say that....
Envy-chan says:
wow
Ed-san says:
vote for McCain or you vote for the apocalypse!
In summation: Biden was mostly articulate and awesome, and Palin was incredibly annoying and cannot answer direct questions.
