That said, just because Romney is a great debater doesn't mean he's going to be a great president.
That could be true, but it has already been established that being a community organizer does not make one a good president.

The final paragraph of the story to which you link notes;
Quote:
Tax reform can also grow the economy by encouraging capital formation and promoting the proper allocation of capital across the economy. Romney’s plan will do just that," wrote Alex Brill, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, in a defense cited by the Romney campaign.

The Tax Policy Center report did not account for economic growth, and such estimates among economists can vary.
Mr. Romney was very clear that he expects his tax plan to encourage and promote growth. Why so many of his critics want to ignore that, and simply lower tax rates to current economic activity, is beyond me.

Keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better, but we all know the truth, and so do you...

Nice joke, did you get it from Stormfront?

White Power!!!!!

Proves that one of the biggest reasons you dislike Obama is because of his skin color. You admitted yourself.

I really don't think this is a game change at all. Obama's response was faint, but Romney put too many false claims and center-shiftted position that Obama may think he is too sneaky to be attacked. Romney won his debate skill but lost in factual checking, though Obama may have a couple of factual errors too.

Just what is it about his body language that you think is a problem?
That coward never looked Romney in the eye. He had his eyes turned down the whole debate. He was lost from the word g and wishing he was anywhere else but there.. total failure in every respect, as he has been for four years

So your insults toward Obama have gone from attacking his skin color to suggesting he is gay.

Why not throw in the Muslim insult and make it a teabagging trifecta, racist, homophobic, and anti-Muslim
