Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Figures Game FA Qs would be having problem of all days.

Also Obama has to point out that Romney has no foreign policy experience.

Romney is getting a bit stressed. Too early to call now but this kind of demeanor tends to be when he makes gaffes like "ten thousand bucks?"

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

Romney supports gender equality in the middle east while not supporting gender equality in the states

Whaaa?....Romney's acting so very, very soft on terrorism. Dammit. Stop flopping, Mitt.

Wait, he just went all "white man's burden." Let's teach those ignorant savages the one true way to live.

Also I like how Romney is SO concern with helping the Middle East.

Can we say White Man's Burden.
