Drinking Game
If Romney…
1. says ‘Benghazi,’ do a shot.
2. says ‘Ahmadinejad,’ do two shots.
3. says ‘daylight with Israel,’ hit yourself in the face with a vodka bottle.
Enjoy the fight.

Those rules will ensure alcohol poisoning in record time…
On the way home from work, I stopped at the Chesterfield Office in VA to make 64 calls–just to calm myself down.
I did the same thing…if by ‘stopped to make 64 calls’ you mean ‘stopped to pick up a bottle of whiskey’.
A whisky bottle is acceptable.
I’m sure I’ll have a variety of empty bottles to choose from very shortly.
Okay, game on.
I hope that Bob is more like Martha than Jim. Yes, I’m on a first name basis with all of them.
Yep. I’m with you, Bo.
Good, Obama will get the last word.
Romney and the Republican Scare Fest, did he just say that President Obama is Killing off Al-qaida. Romney just said we can’t “kill our way out of this”
Romney just had a whole diatribe about the middle east without ONCE saying any of the terms involved in the drinking game.
But, I had to drink anyway just to make it through his answer.
This game sucks.
PBO mentions Benghazi first!
Who knew that the best drinking game word would have been Romney says “tumult”.
Romney: My strategy is broader than that. I’ll get the bad guys!
“Broader” = “Lacks details”
Obama should have mentioned Gaddafi’s name.
OMG, Mail!!
Wow, you’ve been hitting it pretty hard already haven’t you?
Mitt: my policy is simple: go after the bad guys.
When do we grow up?
Romney off to a good start I think. Not good.
Really? I think he just got his ass handed to him on that one.
Well the “can’t kill” out of this and not wanting more Iraq and Afghanistan parts. As I’ve said before, I actually agree with the Bushies that OBL just wasn’t that big a deal. Of course everything else they did (and Romney has actually proposed) has been wrong.
Also, good Obama answer.
Yeah – I guess Romney did have a fairly decent answer, I just thought that the Obama counter was devastating on that one.
Made me think of Yogi Berra: In theory, practice and theory are the same. In practice, it’s different.
Mitt doing his best George Bush ramble on foreign policy.
Every time Romney says tumult, stab yourself in the eye.
Are you actively trying to destroy your readership?
Helps distract from the endless stream of “guaranteed landslide” posts this year.
“tumult” was on the campaign desk calendar word of the day, apparently.
I think Romney had a binderfullofphrases–and somehow tumult was in the binder and by golly he is going to use it.
The 1980s wants its foreign policy back. And Milli Vanilli too.
Syria is Iran’s route to the sea? is this the Peloponnesian war?
Syria is certainly Russia’s route to the sea…
I guess if it’s the Peloponnesian War the Mediterranean is key.
Aegean probably more key than the Med. in general. Unless those bastards in Syracuse are up to something again.
Indeed. Poor, poor landlocked Iran.
DRINK!
Ahmedinejad! Drink!!
Poland, you are no longer forgotten!
Maybe we should drink every time Romney or Obama try to steer the conversation to domestic policy and the economy.
On second thought, clearly that’s a bad idea. It’s only 9:30 am here and I don’t have that much alcohol in the house anyway.
I would be down for this if tomorrow wasn’t a work day.
Is this still a foreign policy debate? Are we sending teachers abroad now?
I’d like to apologize for my roll in both all recent armed conflicts. And the global economic crisis. And likely the the housing bubble.
Latin America has economy the size of China? Does he know that Latin America is a continent?
Over a continent…
That answer is pretty telling. He looks at the combined GDP of several smaller economies and talks about it like it is one big economy.
And this guy knows what he’s talking about when it comes to this topic?!?
He’ll use Big Bird’s funding for his enlarged navy.
Could Romney be more condescending?
Seen on TPM: “9:29 PM: TPM Reader JB writes in: “I feel channels turning to football and baseball.””
Romney wants a war. All that extra money.
Say it.
Romney’s talking fast without saying a goddamned thing. He’s pulling phrases and talking points out if his ass and he sounds like a frantic, desperate, shill.
Did Romney declare cuts to Medicaid to finance more military spending? Isn’t like a third of the country on Medicaid?
Ryan voted for it. Obama needs to say that.
Holy shit Obama just torpedoed Romney’s Naval bullshit!
This is GREAT!! “Fewer ships, and fewer horses and bayonets”.
WOOOWWWWW
The look on Romney’s face was priceless. He knew he had just been sunk. I love it.
Fewer ships? We have fewer horses and bayonets, too…
OMFG! Woo hoo!
It’s a winner.
It’s not 1917. We have ships that go underwater now. Submarines.
Darn, I miss the horses!!! what do you say, Janicket??
Yeah, bring back the cavalry! But only for ceremonial duties; let’s not send them into battle.
yes, absolutely, ceremonial
He is doing a fine job on Iran. Our sanctions have worked. The economy is in terrible shape, and Obama is properly taking credit.
“He has often talked as if we should take premature military action”
Very strong, very clear – a strong prebuttal.
Now this fucking turd is taking credit for sanctions. You piece of crap lying asshole!! No one gives a crap what you said 6 years ago.
2 more drinks!
Cheers!
Mitt’s face seems to be melting. Very odd.
Perhaps Obama secretely sprayed him with water. It’s true that we’re not in Kansas anymore, and we are all grateful about that.
you win the internets!
We need to spray Dick Cheney as well.
Well he was smiling for the first half of the debate, so his face had to reverse its position. Completely normal, nothing to worry about.
Ahmadinejad committed genocide? When did that happen?
Mitt can’t cover up his lack of knowledge – and he seems too lazy to study. He’s been running for prez for years, he should have learned something
Mitt can’t cover up his lack of knowledge – and he seems too lazy to study. He’s been running for prez for years, he should have learned something.
We’ve known this for a while. He didn’t make an effort to clean up his taxes, after all.
“You’d do the same things we are doing, but you’d say them louder.”
Obama is loaded for bear.
Now we have the “apology tour” card.
He’s going all in!!!
AND IT’S THE ACE – THE “ABANDON ISRAEL” CARD
trap?
And he CALLS HIM OUT!!!
Romney calls for tighter sanctions – Obama calls him out!!
AHAHHAHAHA – the INVESTMENT CARD – now that is a trump, folks.
I think Obama is doing well, but those CNN lines are freaking me out a minute ago. And my dad (an Obama supporter) said Romney seems like he’s more “in control” even if what he’s saying is wrong.
Let me add, I wonder if this was his plan. He knew he would lose the debate, so he wanted to assure people that since Obama’s FP is decent to good, he’d continue that. So there’s little risk in making him pres on foreign policy so they can vote on other issues which are less favorable to Obama.
Ha… CNN lines. Women like it men are “meh.” Man, Democrats just don’t appeal to men.
Give your dad a beer.
My dad doesn’t drink because my mom hates alcohol… I’ll drink it for him.
Doh. Everyone hit themselves in the face with a bottle, per the game’s rules.
BooMan, this game sucks!
I hope you didn’t need too many stitches.
Whopper!
Indict A?
“America has not dictated to other nations.” -Romney
Romney never visited the Troops, in Afghanistan.
He never mentioned the military in his acceptance speech.
He hates the military.
Intense!!!
I agree no hypotheticals.
You don’t speculate. Mitt gets a point there.
Romney refuses the bomber question. Translation: I can’t answer that because I am too poorly informed.
The first rule of politics: Never do hypotheticals.
Mitt was right.
Yep. Really glad Mitt shoved that one off to the side.
Wow, CNN lines right now about the Bin Laden issue… Women are at the top of the graph, men meh. Male line spikes when Obama talks about exercising leadership, but not when he talks about personal stories. That’s interesting.
I knew Bob Schieffer’s presence would make me pine for Jim Lehrer.
Obama stood up to the lame assertions Mitt made about ignoring Israel and then Mitt is dodging the hypothetical threat question. Bob should have made Romney answer or turn it over to Obama. The best Romney’s got is saying “four years closer to a nuclear bomb”.
Smells like desperation.
Well played, Mr. President!!
When you whine about the rules, you lose.
FYI..it looks like Romney is looking all tan while in Florida. And Romney just admits Obama’s Afghan surge worked.
He has no clue that India is in that region
Good on you, Barack.
Good segue to domestic policy.
Wow. Men and women in an Obama love fest when he talks about withdrawal and home-nation building.
Obama Bin Laden???? Freudian slip by Schieffer.
Tumult!
Drones… Imagine Romney with control over the drones.
Romney IS a Drone, as in “Bee”.
Imagine most possible candidates with the drones. This is why the drone issue is actually a big fucking deal. The precedents Obama sets are what will happen going forward. I’m not saying it’s a deal breaker but it’s still important.
So Romney is trying to downplay Obama getting Osama Bin Ladin?!
Good luck with that, Mittens, you asshole.
Romney and Miss South Carolina – why haven’t Barack Obama [?] achieved world peace yet
China- Good that Obama took the “cheaters” line away from Romney. Mitt’s talking points are crushed.
Romney has “seen” jobs to go to China? Make that “sent” jobs to China.
And BOOM goes the dynamite!
“Governor Romney knows something about jobs being shipped to China, because he’s invested in companies that have shipped jobs to China.”
Brilliant.
I see everyone drank themselves to death…
I dn’t kno what you talkng abot. Still heeer.
Oh good, Romney ad the idea that Obama used to save the auto industry
Squirm Romney, squirm on Detroit.
Governor, you are trying to airbrush history!
Dear President Obama,
Detroit has your back.
Sincerely,
me
Three minutes left and Romney is nodding in agreement with The Prez…
Romney cares about the disenfranchised and teachers. He really really does.
I mean my god, this one human unit was leaking salt water from its tear ducts all over my spousal unit. I CARE!
O: Nation-building at home in closing. Win.
Romney’s “optimistic about future” but looks like he just wet himself.
What, no Romney zingers?!!
Winner: Obama
That’s how I score it.
Interesting. If the little undecided voter graph is to be believed, PBHO finished very strong, and Mitt practically flatlined through almost his entire closing statement.
And what a lot of weird things he said, too. What was that business about torches?
Olympic metaphor. He really doesn’t have the concept of democracy though – neither here nor for the world. It’s all like a starship captain, giving order, making things happen. He blames Obama for not achieve world peace yet
On the stage, Romney’s grandchildren like Obama better.
What a joke. Romney agreed with 80% of the things Obama said and appeared weak on the rest. Apparently he thought that if he mentioned “strength,” “strong,” and “Israel” enough times, he would win the debate.
I like this piece by Lane Filler. Captures a lot of my own feelings about the debate.
