Always about race. Yup, race baiters have nothing of substance, so they always make it about race. Why does the left have to bring race into EVERYTHING?

As for "deserving respect" - if I had as much blood on my hands as Obama has, I'd deserve little also. If I ran this country like Obama's done these last 3 years, I'd deserve little.

I grew up in Denver as a child and my family made frequents trips to the Midwest. BTW, I have also lived in Utah.

Adapting to a different climate and elevation does take some time--breathing-wise and humidity wise.
Funniest freaking post of the day. So Romney handled the altitude better because his ancestors lived in the mountains? Do you really believe that?

Really? Wipe the floor with him? Based on what? What foreign policy success stories is he going to highlight to show his foreign policy expertise & skill? Will he tout his success in helping the extremist Muslim Brotherhood take power in Egypt? The brutal murder of Ambassador Stevens? Tell us please, how he can claim foreign policy as a strength.

Hmmm.. Foreign Policy... What do we have to offer here.. The middle east is on fire and hates us and our policies, even though we "liberated" or helped liberate many of them. The muslin brotherhood has taken over much of the middle east. We are once again escallating our involvement in IRAQ and are still in Afganistan 4 years later. China and the Russians won't help us in the UN, so being a part of the security council is now worthless. Guitmo is still open... Those who once were our closest allies, now don't trust us. Oh yeah. This should be interesting. I almost forgot.. Mr president, why did our ambassador die along with 3 other americans? Why wasn't he better protected? What was he doing there Mr. president? Oh this should be a stellar debate for Obama alright.. LMAO....

That is your answer to the question "What is Romney's foreign affairs agenda"?
Sounds suspiciously like an answer that Romney himself might give.

Just say you don't know; at least it's honest.

LOL. Damn. Talk about apologists coming out of the wall.

Al should know about dealing with being at high altitudes, from sitting on those sanctimonious lofty heights he has created for his venerable self, lol.

I guess Obama's minions couldn't figure out a way to spin his performance last night into the usual scapegoat: Bush.

So I guess it's all Denver's fault.

Default Fast and Loose, but Untruthful - this was shameful

Clueless Pubs, the bunch who thought Bush would make a fine President, were pounding their chests in utter joy over Romney's performance last night. The general consensus appears to be that Romney "won." But a deeper read reveals that Romney's "fast and loose" approach was largely NOT FACTUAL. He remains the same goon who trashed 47%, the same shifty character who hides his tax returns and runs from his Bain involvement, the same flip-flopping, position-changing, slimy pretender who supports that disastrous "trickle-down" economic policy that failed under Bush and Reagan. He hails from the party of Bush, refuses to acknowledge that Bush existed, and refuses to acknowledge that the President's gains would be substantially greater had he not been hampered by Congressional Republican obstructionism.

President Obama may not have been himself with this uncontrolled, blabbering, babbling, pompus imbecile with the enormously large head, but he stands superior in what he has been trying to do for this country. He was given the worst mess in history courtesy of people just like Mitt Romney, and has had the misfortune of struggling against a Republican contingent in Congress that is the most shameful in history. He came to seriously debate Romney and was met with a fast-talking flim-flam joke of a character. What a waste of time.

Nobody won the debate last night. If anything, the American public LOST.
