compromised with. Republicans need to be told how things are going to be from now on.

They are bullies. Bullies view someone being rational and reasonable as a weakness. They RESPECT people who stand up to them even if they don't like them.

And they will never like a Democrat so there is nothing to be gained from trying to get along with them and everything to be gained from taking every opportunity to call them on their failed policies, their lies and their greed.

Do you expect him to change now?

Why do you think he went there to do anything about the 1%ers?

He should be calling for a straight ticket vote. I agree there.

We'll see what happens but don't get your hopes up.

...but you apparently swallowed all of the crap from the GOP and the mainstream media.

The President acted like a rational human being while Romney behaved like he had just swallowed a pack of bath salts.

Tell me how a candidate can clearly lie about virtually everything during a debate and still be declared the winner? Once upon a time, the media would rip a lying candidate to pieces, but no longer thanks to being corporate-owned.

Or maybe you're seeing a few select polls mentioned on TV, like the Pew poll which was so obviously skewed that even a fifth grader could have spotted the distortions. But the media touted the poll like it was the most unbiased poll they had ever seen.

If you want to make a difference, quit acting like a horse's butt on a message board and go register some voters.

Whatever you think, I am certainly not to blame for Obama's piss poor performance against a lying his ass off Romney.

Obama has only himself to blame for letting Romney back into the race.

I can only hope that Obama is awake for the next two debates.

No thanks for that.

Oh, and apparently you have missed plenty


"The President lost a debate. He didn’t lose Texas. For four years, this President has faced off one of the most obstructionist parties in modern American political history. He did this in the center of an economic collapse. He has delivered on too many promises to count, even in the dead heat of this. He’s been running ahead in an election where the opposition was fairly incompetent, where the leading opposition candidate told half the country to go fuck themselves with a stolen rusty tire iron. He has one debate where the opposition is competent, and that’s it. You’re done. You have bad polling days, and you’re done. Let’s just call off the election and use that time to apply for foreign passports. I mean, holy shit, what a bunch of spineless bastards you turned out to be. "

"This President has wound down two wars. He gave the kill order for Osama Bin Laden. He has promoted genuine efforts at democracy in the middle east, in a region that is in the middle of a revolution that came under his watch. While everything he does gets fucked daily by the tidal wave of shithead that is the Republican Party, the Israeli Prime Minister, the European economy, probably the whole of the Middle East, some douchebags with Youtube accounts and the state of Arizona, we ask if his heart is in it? Really? If he really wants to be President? For four years, we sat at his left flank just pissing and moaning while he delivered what none of his predecessors could. He did this against a party that is objectively crazy. And now, one debate, and the question is, is the President’s heart in it? "

"He has fought for us and our principles and our policies every day, and if he loses this because of a debate, then it means for all our talk, we weren’t ready to fight for him."
