All the pundits saying Romney did what he had to do by coming across as presidential. This only make sense if he has a commanding lead and is attempting to run the clock out. I think based on the polls he had to be aggressive and WIN THE DEBATE. He didn’t do that. He played not to lose rather than to win. Unforgivable.

Of course if the polls are wrong and he knows something I don’t then I could be wrong.

I agree. I wish we had Newt going head to head with Dumbo.

I had a hard time watching tonight. I just get so sick of all Dumbo’s lies and his damn line, “the rich need to contribute a little more”. He makes me fricken sick every time he says that!!!!!!!!!

“We have things called aircraft carriers and fighters now, We have a modern military”. He delivered it well and I had to laugh, OH-OH.
Point for Obama. I don't think that will be a game changer though. Also, my perspective may be different from most viewers, for example, I remember Obama's promise to eliminate weapons research, since before the 2008 election.

BTW Marines do use bayonets today, but they don't have "Corpse-men."

One thing that seems to repeat in all these debates: O gets in a long list of points and the mod moves on to the next question and R can't respond. Maybe that is just skillful debating on O's part, but he seemed to get the last word more than R.

Maybe I’m missing some crucial context given that I tuned out the debate halfway thru from boredom… but I thought Romney came off weak and pandering, as if Squishy Mitt was back again and reminding me exactly why I never wanted him as nominee in the 1st place.

This whole debate could’ve been won by simply pointing out that Obama basically sat idly by watching our ambassador Stevens plus others die, and did absolutely nothing. No further analysis necessary.

Huge loss for Romney in my opinion. He had to be aggressive and wasn’t- the polls do not justify such a passive performance. He didn’t attack when he should have and he didn’t respond effectively when attacked. Unbelievably frustrating. Hopefully I am completely wrong. Wonder what Krauthammer thinks.

A weak thinker, pompous, a chronic whiner, and -- this is real plus in the Republican 'Homeland' -- he is a bona fide CHICKENHAWK.

For RepuliSuckers across the Fruited Plains, all this faithless, thoughtless screeching translates to "music"

Look- I call ‘em as I see ‘em. No one wants Romney to win more than I at this point.

You can’t hide from reality, though you may be correct in saying this isn’t as bad in the election as I think it will be.

As for this debate, I’m sticking by it, Obama “won” and Romney, while not completely incompetent like O in the first debate, missed huge opportunities.

Hopefully the poster insisting that this is on purpose and that all he had to do is “look presidential” (whatever that means heh) is right, but me and my degrees in this topic don’t see it that way.

Though I suppose I’ve been wrong before, but not often in these matters. Let’s hope I am!

Obama just slam dunked this home with that Osama section and answer.

NBA Jam video game style in your face, boomshakalaka.

His answer sounded like a Republican answer and Mitt couldn’t or wouldn’t object to his assertions about not caring about getting Bin Laden.


573 posted on 10/22/2012 7:07:41 PM PDT ...


Boy, Clint...I hope you are right. But so far Romney hasn’t been strong. He needs to get on a strong point and hammer it. Obama supporters will stick with Obama. I don’t think Romney is going to pick up supporters from this debate unless he does something dramatic and drastic to knock the air Out of Obama. He won’t lose support, but I don’t think he will gain. It is going to end up with the polls saying just what they say today, I believe.


575 posted on 10/22/2012 7:07:46 PM PDT...


Obama looks like he’s been getting messages or at least making eye contact from somebody in the audience. Has anybody else noticed that? Or is he just flirting with Bob?

"I had a hard time watching tonight. I just get so sick of all Dumbo’s lies and his damn line, “the rich need to contribute a little more”. He makes me fricken sick every time he says that!!!!!!!!!"

I mean seriously, what the fuck is so wrong with asking rich people to pay more in taxes so that social programs won't need to be cut? And I'll bet the doofus who typed this isn't even rich. People like this hate-monger who are so willing to vote against their fiscal interests make me sick.

19. Rich people get richer when taxes are higher
Tue Oct 23, 2012, 07:05 AM
Oct 2012

True statement.

Q. How do most rich people get that way?
A. Selling to the government.

Q. What happens when taxes go up?
A. The government can spend more without resorting to loans.

Q. Where does it spend?
A. At rich people's businesses.

Q. So why not just let rich people keep their money?
A. Because...
1. You don't need employees to put money in the bank but you do to sell to the govt.
2. They get more in contracts than they'd save in taxes.
3. Govt contracting is cumulative. If I sell 50,000 guns to the army I have to buy parts from companies that have to buy steel.
