THIS is some devastating kung fu, right here.

This is in the videos forum but deserves to be spread far and wide.

Have fun explaining how you were taken out of context, Mitt.

Are there any good Tumblr photo collections from the debate?

I'm looking in particular for Mitt's pained, constipated expression whenever the President was speaking.

All right, this evening deserves another cup o' Joe, on me! (apologies if posted already)

Did Drudge pimp some post-VP debate AP poll showing Ryan the winner.. that didn't exist?

'Cause that's what I heard!

Just watched "The Bad News Bears" again (the original). Forgot how hilarious it was!

I never saw the Billy Bob Thornton remake, but why do they feel the need to remake perfect movies?

Obama, Romney place dueling calls to Israel’s Netanyahu (WaPo)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/decision2012/obama-netanyahu-agree-to-continue-regular-consultations-on-iran/2012/09/28/0944fb7c-0993-11e2-afff-d6c7f20a83bf_story.html

President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Friday by telephone, ending the call with a common pledge to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon but no apparent consensus on a specific timeline to do so.

A few hours later, Republican nominee Mitt Romney spoke by phone with Netanyahu, his one-time consulting colleague and a friend since the 1970s. After the call, Romney said that he does not believe military force will have to be used to stop Iran’s uranium enrichment program.

What the hell. So now the GOP candidate can make phone calls to foreign heads of state and offer alternative foreign policy to the President?

Heh, even Chris Wallace calls out "poll oversampling" nuttery:

Early Voting: Does the Obama Campaign ever bring people directly from a rally to vote?

Seems like it would be a good tactic in states like OH take advantage of President Obama's ability to draw big crowds.

Was this done in 2008?

Romney and the GOP are on the brink of a catastrophic loss of confidence.

They are on the verge of a "run on the banks" kind of phenomenon, with dejected voters staying home, SuperPAC money going downticket or sitting on the sidelines entirely, and big Democratic coattails. So I think the bullshit about "all these polls have the wrong party ID composition" is a desperate attempt to forestall or prevent this, to prevent the Fox News faithful from seeing that it's over and tuning out.

It's one thing to see someone like Dick Morris mouthing this stuff, even most freepers realize he just gets paid for telling right wingers what they want to hear. But it's yet another to hear Karl Rove go the Baghdad Bob route as I watched him do on Fox News tonight where he claimed that all the polling was wrong because of party ID and claiming that he saw Ohio and Florida as tossups. He's presented his state map strictly based on polling so far, I wonder if he will continue to do so now.

To see the full slate of Fox News heavy hitters like Rove pimping this "skewed polls" line shows me they are bailing water down in the bilge of the USS GOP.

Someone on Twitter trolling the HELL out of new rightwing darling "Unskewedpolls.com".

This is pretty much the best use of Twitter, forget organizing revolts against dictators.
