Official Presidential Debate thread 10/16

[jerrymrc]

He absolutely left the stage a victor tonight.

They both rambled and dodged questions and interrupted each other, but Romney did it in a more overt and offensive way.

My thought was that he seemed more timid than Romney and did not put nearly as many numbers out there but that was just me.

As a conservative, I am dismayed by the direction that the Republican party is heading in.
You should NEVER compromise your ideals.

I think the real winner tonight is Sniper7.

He's about a madmofo typin sumbitch

[Drucker]

Well he's right on in his assessment. Maybe you should take off the rose colored glasses and look at what the GOP actually has to offer. It's about what they are, not what they aren't (Obama).

I will take that, we sure as hell know what 4 more years of this holder of the Presidency will leave as a legacy. If that is what you want you quite deserve it.

so...like in the political discussions, please tell me the other options?

I can either vote for Obama or for Romney. voting for Johnson is a waste of time.

Voting for Obama is continuing the last 4 years, handing SCOTUS to the liberals on a silver platter, and now he mentions he wants to put in another AWB. while I believe the house will fight this off, I can see, given the economy, an amendment being added to a bill to re-enact at least a portion of it, possibly permanent.

I can also write myself it, but unless I see about 150,000,000 people doing the same, I'm not going to win, therefore my vote would be wasted, it quite possibly would only help Obama.


Do you really think trickle up economics is going to work. do you think obama taking money from high income earners is really going to put more money in your pocket? do you think that those same people, who are mostly businesses owners or those who run business, will not make up that money...inflation, increasing prices, which YOU will have to pay if you want their products. do you really think the .gov has your best interests in mind?

Since Johnson has NO CHANCE at winning, there is no point in bringing up his policies or ideas.

So you are left with a successful businessman, who has created jobs, made millions, donated millions, and has a plan, yet to be fully laid out, will not be proven unless things work out. He balanced the budget for businesses he ran, the state of MA, Olympics. He has the experience

So there really is no choice. We have seen what 4 years of obama has brought. has your life improved, are you putting more money into savings? are you cutting back or able to spend more? have you had to sell off guns to pay bills...I know I have seen some for sale...I know I have sold some to take care of things...like the birth of my son. Who only 3 years ago under my insurance would have been free...yet now it was over $1000.

The F for Effing is silent. And invisible.

My thought was that he seemed more timid than Romney and did not put nearly as many numbers out there but that was just me.

I don't think either of them put many numbers or measurable facts out there tonight. Lots of anecdotal stories from Shitsville, OH. Romney saying again and again "Obama can't do that, but I can!" without ever actually explaining how.

The way they kept interrupting each other and walking all over the allotted time was a real turn off, as well.

Next debate should have them seated in plexiglass boxes and the moderator can cut off the mic when their 2 minutes is up.
