Official Presidential Debate thread 10/16

And we've derailed.

[Sharpienads]

Romney passed a permanent assault weapons ban as governor of MA.
Obama has given legal carry in national parks and on AMTRAK trains.

Romney did not pass a permanent assault weapons ban as governor of MA. Please stop saying this.

ETA: Sorry, came in late on this one. I'm watching a recording.

And we've derailed.

Agreed.
Even though we may have vast opinions on our politics we all have a common bond.
The jabs are leaning to the overly personal side (I am just as guilty at times).
We need to remember that we all do business with each other, trade with each other and share our sport.

We can agree to disagree but we are ALL better than that. If we are to disagree, let's do it in a mature manner.
We all learn from an intelligent discussion.

I'd like to point out that just because someone criticizes the Republican party, doesn't mean that they are voting for Johnson or Obama. If you are voting for Romney, then Romney is the only person you need to criticize. Not voting for Obama or Johnson is criticism enough, and there is no need for further discussion of their policies.

So when someone questions, or challenges something that your preferred candidate has done, said, or plans to do, you shouldn't respond as if they said, "I am voting for the other guy because..." unless they already have.

Those questions serve two purposes.
1) Gives you an opportunity to defend your decision by expressing WHY you have made that decision. This shows that there is a thought process behind your actions, and you aren't just doing it because you FEEL like it is the right thing to do, or don't know what else to do.
2) By being able to explain your position, this reinforces your own expectations of said candidate. You know what you expect, and if you are let down, you know exactly what to say to your guy in a letter to get him back on track.

OR...

You guys can just call everyone liberals, point fingers and declare people to be against you if they aren't with you, act like dicks, and fail, still, to actually address the concern.

In the words of a Great African American role model...Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?"

Don't get this thread closed for everyone else.

Agree to disagree on this, and move back to the topic at hand: the debate.

Last warning... Unlike the debate, getting the last word in isn't an option on this.

Drop the bickering between the two/three of you and get back to the topic.
