Debate Wrap: How Is It Going Around the Water Cooler this Morning?

Posted on 10/04/2012 5:53:42 AM PDT by jimjohn

Like many of my freepers, I am forced to work amongst some border-line commies. You know, the better enlightened yet less informed ilk who feel it’s fair to drool their political slobber around me. You see, most of them think that since I’m a member of that ethnic group who is expected to vote 99.9% for the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they ASSUME I’m not bothered by their political ignorance.

As I walked in this am, the normal loud-mouths here who think NPR is too conservative and MSNBC is too moderate were in the break room already concerned that too many 'idiots' around the country saw the debate last night and might get a negative view of the empty chair they have come to worship. Strangely enough, they all think Romney won the debate.

Makes no difference to them of course, since they think the person who made the most sense last night is ‘still a moron’. But they aren’t happy this morning. Just wondering how it’s going around your workplace.

P.S. Overheard the company owner this morning telling one of his managers: “After that debate last night, I’m cutting Romney another check”.

So, what are they saying around YOUR water cooler, folks?

I wouldn't know. Obama was instrumental in my layoff 2 years ago.

Kudos to your owner, but he should have also said, “This may help Romney win, and you guys will be able to keep your jobs.”

You have to spell it out for the cretins.

My lib friends on Facebook are really scratching their heads....one guy even said that he does not thing either one is worth voting for in the election, he would never vote for a Republican anyway....this might secure votes for the independents ....I do not think the O is going to improve in the debate and we know that Biden is going to look a fool in the debate so I think many lib voters are going to stay home and “not the vote”

Well, I’m off work until Saturday night. I have a lot of running around to do after I take my Sons to school.
Meanwhile...
I have this funny feeling that the debate last night panicked the hell out of a lot of people.
Desperate people.

So, I will be carrying my pistols everywhere I go (As always), and be EXTRA vigilant.

Flash mobs, anyone?

Not a fair observation as I’m in a deeply red state and surrounded by conservative business people who cannot stand Obama. BUT, one of the guys I talk to about this stuff frequently has been “pessimistic” about Romney’s chances and not prone to excitement/hyperbole but he was sky high this morning. He was just raving about the “annihilation” by Romney last night.

RF, I don’t think the flashmob crew watch the debates and would have no clue what was going on if they did.

Now, they may channel what the older generation who did watch it, but I believe Nov. 7th is when the cars are going to start getting turned over.

There are four of us in our cubicle row here at the office: two libs, another conservative and me.

Lib #1 did not watch the debate but just the coverage. Her meek statement to me first thing in the morning was “I saw a poll in which people overwhelmingly said the debate would not change their vote.”

Lib #2 said that Obama took a deliberate dive (!!), underperforming by design, so that he could come back strong on the next debate.

The other conservative I was proud of. He isn’t glued to talk radio or blogs like I am, but he made a cogent, logical case for Romney.

Lib #2 did concede that she appreciated that there were “two intelligent people on the stage” (I would say only one) and that she at least respected Romney.

It's Lehrer's Fault.

That doesn’t matter. They just do what they are told. They never know why.

All of a sudden, I've got the image of the Hulk (from the Avengers movie) smashing Loki into the pavement over and over again, running through my head.

This post reminds me of Emo Phillips ending up in jail and his bunk mate tells him he is going to mop the floor with his head.
Emo says “You do and you’ll be sorry”
Bunk mate says “Why, what are you going to do about it?”
Emo replies “Nothing, but you’ll never get into the corners!”

I’ve seen two commentators saying Obama won. Both blacks. The 96% seems to be holding.

Water cooler pretty much everyone admits Romney won. Obama was “tired” and more worried about his anniversary. Ha!

The left wants to destroy this country and they have come too far to lose now. Look for mischief in the form of Romney scandal or attack on Mormon faith or a strike in the ME. Something bad is planned, be ready for it.

At my business meeting this morning it was about 13-2 thinking Romney obliterated O-Thug

I work in a non-union manufacturing environment, so there are a relative handful of cretins who support ObaMao. One has a husband who works for Fedzilla. Another lost their union job in manufacturing and constantly tells me how much better the pay and bennies were when he was working for a union. You'd think he'd know better having experienced the end game.

Personally, I thought Romney did just OK but didn't deliver any knock-out punch. He stayed on the defensive way to much and allowed Jim Lehrer to push him around. We turned off the TV after the debates concluded and didn't listen to the talking heads. It's bedtime in the Eastern time zone.

Then, on our morning drive show, they played a montage of the talking heads. It was funny. Chris Matthews, in particular, was in total meltdown mode. So I guess Romney did more than just OK.

Facebook meltdown last night from a friend that I wasn't completely sure was a liberal-loon. I helped push him over the edge, gently of course :-)....

The rest of them that have professed their allegiance? Silent... They know it is over IMHO and will be dejected as we have been recently, but for them it will last 8 years or more...

This a.m., I chose to peruse the DUmmy files.

A common theme: Romney LIED. A lousy troll with less than a hundred posts had the audacity to ask for a spoecific example...tombstone will follow.

Other themes: Obama did a rope-a-dope, to really knock out Romney in the next debate. Romney was a bully. Leher is in the tank for Romney. Romney looked too animated...and Barry looked...um...err...Presidential:).

But the general theme in DUmmyland was one of despair. They know it was a turd of a performance. So, the discussion turned to how much the debates really don’t matter...riiight.

I have not seen a GOP candidate at the top of a ticket win a debate so handily since....Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale. I could be wrong...but I thought it was that lopsided.
