official 10-22-2012 presidential debate thread

Obama is calling for a record check- we know how that worked out for him before.

Here is Mitts statement

"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.

In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check

Reduce our defect you are doing great papa smurf

I cannot believe we will impeach Clinton (not that I like Clinton) for what he did, but let Obama destroy this Country. This election should be won by Mitt by a landslide. Rant over carry on.

Yeah Obama...let's spend our way out by taxing the rich which will end up costing the poor at the cash register. Then you can give them help and be their savior and build our debt more.
sounds awesome.

I hope Romney says for everyone to watch 2016

Wait..but Obama said...

Romney's rehashing same ole same ole. Weak closing statements AFAIC.

[BPTactical]

Wait..but Obama said...

"The governor is not telling the truth."

No knock-out shots on either side although Obama opened himself up with the number of out-and-out lies he spun tonight. Call it a draw as a debate but that's all Romney really needed since the main point is to show the American public that he's not the ogre Obama has been painting for the past year.

Then again, I have little use for these "debates" as they're more opportunities to slip in sound bites than actual debates where you have to cite sources and draw some inferential logic.
