I agree, Willard was acting like a complete ass and thug again last night just like he has in the past. No respect for the people in the room, not answering a question asked to him by one of the voters, cutting off Obama,..it was a complete mockery of the electoral process, but this is what today's GOP has become, just a bunch of thugs and idiots.

He was not disrespectful or a bully. He had points to make and he made them. Seems to me those of you who see him as a bully, only say that because he tore Obama's record apart bit by bit and Obama just stood there with little to say to defend himself.

Blame Obama for not having much to say on defending himself. Obama got 4 extra minutes last night to say whatever he wanted. He dodge nearly every question and even lied about the energy comments he made.

What Romney did last night was destroyed Obama on his record and on the economy. Obama was there to defend himself and even had nearly 4 minutes of extra time to defend himself or make his case. He couldnt. All he did was deflect and give campaign type comments.

They were both rude and interrupted repeatedly.
They both "answered" questions with what they wanted to say.
Both sides think they won.

It's a pity we're stuck with these two.

He was not very civil. I have watched many debates and his performance was the most disrespectful and uncivilized that I have ever seen.

You have to keep in mind who his target audience is though, he is trying to appeal to the baser of the population. Judging by some of the comments. I think he succeeded there.

He tried to bully Obama, but the strategy backfired and make him look classless. It also did not work, because he did not get the desired reaction out of the bullying.

Default Did Romney lie or is he just that unimformed?

When answering the question at the debate about automatic weapons, why did he say that they were illegal? Does he just not know and if he lied, what was the point?

The only thing Willard destroyed is what little (if any) credibility he had left when Obama destroyed him on his flat out lie and other BS.

Willard is a moron and proved that again last night

Did you expect him to just roll over?





Only Clinton asked people to do that.

Thats strange, Ive seen polls that show Romney looked more Presidential. Oh well, you liberals think Obama was bullied. Well, if he was bullied, then it's his own fault for letting it happen, if that is what you really believe. A leader doesnt stand there and get bullied. He defends himself.

Obama could not defend his record. And you know it. If you watched the debate you know for a fact he didnt even try to defend his record.
