How come none of the liberals here want to talk about President Obama's record - instead they go on and on about Paul Ryan washing dishes or Mitt Romney's using "cooking" and "women" in the same sentence?

I have never seen the supporters of a presidential candidate so unwilling to talk about their candidates record.

Why is that? Could it be because his record is so negative that the only hope you have is to make people forget about it?

Not calling you stupid.

I don't know what coke the OP was sniffing, but Obama and Biden both consistently cut their opponents off when they try to talk. Obama cut Romney off to the point that he had to check him to keep quiet and he nearly stood up and walked over to him while he was talking every time.

LOL - I was waiting for President Obama to pull an "Al Gore" similar to the 2000 debates.

So we discuss degrees of rudeness? Rude is rude.

That was only when Obama started to fight back, but Obama was respectful to Romney(at first), and he attempted(and tried hard) to remain respectful even when Romney was not respectful back. You could tell by the nonverbal cues that Obama was trying hard to keep civil.

In the end of the debate he wouldn't shake Obama's hand. That was beyond rude and a sore loser. Yes Obama does work for us and respect if two way. But the disrespect started with Romney and it extended way beyond what should have been. It should have been a debate, heated at times, but civil throughout, Romney made it so that it was not that way. Now you can pretend that Obama started, but anyone who watched the debates knows what REALLY happened.
We must have watched a different debate. I saw Obama interupt and disrupt repeatedly and with no attempt to reign him in by the moderator.
Obama refered to Romney in a snide manner many many times. I refer to the gas prices question.
There were other points in the debate where Romney wasn't allowed to get a word in edgewise through the interuptions. I am not even voting for Romney and it even annoyed me. I would have liked to heard what the man had to say with out the school yard antics. They both did the circling and posturing.
My bone with the OP is that somehow Obama rates special treatment. He is our highest ranking servant. He owes every single legal citizen due respect.
Google Obama's interuptions in debate.

Now that you know the details, youll still carry on with your stupidity.
Did you lose your sense of humor or can you not laugh about your own guy?

I am flattered that you would compare my writing to the author of The Catcher and the Rye - I agree that it will be a classic.

If I'm on coke, you're on crack.

Romney violated the rules and asked DIRECT questions to Obama and was disrespectful in the tone, and overall presentation of said direct questions. He also tried "cutting" off Obama, just as much as Obama tried cutting off him. In the end of the debate, Romney couldn't even muster enough respect to shake Obama's hand. And Romney TRIED to bully the moderator but she wasn't having it either. But obviously republicans will always disagree. Time will tell how this debate impacts each candidate. It usually takes a few days after each debate for the poll numbers to be impacted. So let's see tomorrow and Friday how Romney is doing and compare it to Obama. I have a feeling Obama will have some positive momentum. Romney is still reeling from the moderator checking him--he literally had to pick himself up off the floor after that moment(even the audience was applauding).
Doh
