Official Presidential Debate thread 10/16

[Ridge]

Why does Obama get to weigh in on the question of "How are you, Gov Romney, different from Pres Bush?"

That's total bullshit. You can't tell me these questions aren't designed to screw over Romney.

I think you need to take this bullshit a little less personally.

[Rucker61]

Romney came through small business,

Seriously?

he wants to keep taxes down on small business,

Nothing wrong with that.

regulations should encourage enterprise, don't discourage it.

It a balance between encouragement and protection of the public. The regs have swung this far in response to abuses of the past.

damn, both barrels by mittens

Romney: if you elect obama, you will get a repeat of the last 4 years. difference in his promised unemployment is 4 million jobs. he said 5.4 %...its 7.8%.

He hasn't filed an immigration plan, he said he would cut in half the deficit, he doubled it.

He said health insurance premiums would be reduced 2500 a year, its increased 2500 a year. if obamacare is implemneted, it will go up another 2500 a year.

23,000,000 Americans still looking for work.

47,000,000 are on food stamps.

economy is growing slower and slower year over year. it isn't getting better.

I think you need to take this bullshit a little less personally.

Agreed. It's much more rewarding to ignore the debates and just follow the fact check sites. I work at night, so I don't get to follow it live anyway.

Brought up Reagan, in that time, he created twice as many jobs as obama. the only reason the number is show as it is, is because of the number of people that have stopped looking for work.

the record shows he hasn't been able to get it done. median income down 4300 a family.

[SuperiorDG]

Mitt, why don't you just say he doesn't know what he's doing?

[Ridge]

Mitt, why don't you just say he doesn't know what he's doing?

He has a 5 step plan to doing that.

Great answer on illegal immigration!

[sniper7]

What Romney plans for immigrants without green cards.

Romney was born in mexico to american parents.

you shouldn't need a lawyer to get into this country. it should be easier to get in here when you have something to offer. we have to stop illegal immigration.

4 million in line waiting to come here legally. he won't allow amnesty.

he won't give drivers licences to people here illegally

kids that were born here to illegal immigrants should get a pathway...such as the military.

the president had a supermajority, but did not follow through with his promises,

both of them suck at getting Lorraine's name correct!
