    “We’re both so happy that the Green Party President and Vice-Presidential candidates were arrested for trying to attend the debate tonight! Whew, we almost had to actually have democracy!”

    “Hold tight, Mitt. Don’t twitch. Put on the concern face. Don’t twitch. What on earth is she asking me? Who selected these ridiculous questions? I’d better start a file on this Candy lady. Steady, steady… OK. That’s the perfect answer. What’s a good simpleton synonym for files? Oh yes, yes, ‘binder’. Yes, ‘binder’ will do.”

    “Mustn’t forget to do my face tightening exercises. Hold..hold…hold..There. Okay, back to smiley face and disingenuous sense of control.”

    “The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal…” I guess the old boy ended up in Michigan, Mexico, or wherever Mitt is from that day.

    “I paid $3,000,000 in taxes in 2010. I wish Candy would explain the meaning of ‘rate’ to the American public.”

    Candy, I’m a Republican, you’re not supposed to question the facts I have extracted from my colon. I can’t compete if I have to use real facts.

    We should restrict the questioners to those making over $1,000,000. In Boca Raton I didn’t have to look like I cared.

    Did you get that shot? Good, now my stern look should let everyone know i’m tougher on national defense.

    They told me all I had to do was decide if I wanted to be president. It shouldn’t have to be this hard …

    “Who am I and what the hell am I doing here?”

    or

    Count Romnela: “I’ve got to get the hell out of here before the sun comes up.”

    Nope, not yet. said on 10/17/2012 @ 2:37pm PT: [Permalink]

    “Wait,… didn’t Bain outsource Candy’s job to China 2 weeks ago…?”

    Damn it! They caught me in a lie… I will do a honey boo boo and stare Candy down, she retreat.

    THAT WOMAN and THAT BLACK HEATHEN are not making it easy for me to fulfill my religion’s “white horse prophecy”.

    I thought this guy was called Mr. Tambo, or was it Mr. Bones. No one told me he was going to argue with me.

    In that classic William Shatner cadence – “Must not lose!”

    CAPTAIN: Scotty, I want full power to the shields now, damn it!

    BONES: Jim, it’s only a debate. Get a hold of yourself.

    SPOCK: Captain, your opponent would appear to have made a valid point.

    Your a mean one Mr Mitt
    you really are.
    You lie without compunction,
    It seems your only function.
    When you squirm,slither,and
    squeal you lose all voter appeal.
    I say again, and again, and again
    Your a mean one Mr Mitt.

    Thank you, thank you! And now, I’d like to do my “Paulie Walnuts” impression for you!

    For Pete’s sake, my son Tagg was only able to buy SOME voting machines in Ohio!

    Last time I listen to Rush Limbaugh for debate ideas. Yeah, that’s right Rush just hangs up on or never allows moderates and liberals on his program. Gosh darn, I wish i could hang up on this guy! Where is my debate screener?!!
