Truth is, we have two of the most pathetic Presidential candidates, yet so many people seem to be happy and satisfied with these poor choices.
The Republican logic is amazing; we know Romney is not really a Conservative, he is a Mormon, not a "real Christian" in our eyes but as long as he is not Obama, we will support him
I have a Republican friend who doesn't even like Romney but she is working for his campaign- like most of the morons out there who can't think beyond their partisan lines- I guess, as long as he is not Obama, he is good enough for us.
Unless there is a fundamental change in our society, we are headed downhill, FAST!
You mean that we haven't even started to do the fundamental change Obama promised us? I think he has done much more toward that change than I thought he could do in 8 years.
The simply fact remains that Romney has not said ONE DARN THING that shows that he will be "better" than President Obama. Not ONE DARN THING. He has not made the case for a change in administration. But what he has done is show that he is not diplomatic enough to handle difficult international affairs without major gaffes. He has also shown that he is remarkably out of touch with average Americans. So no thank you Romney.
I thought Mormons were suppose to be nice guys. If Romney thinks big business making money grows the economy how can it grow and be spread around if he and his friends have zillions hidden in an off shore bank? go figure.
It was wrong for the moderator Candice to inject her misleading terror fact-check into the debate. Obama never said the Benghazi killing was an act of terror in his rose garden address.
Have you bothered to read any of the transcripts or watch any of the videos that have been posted of President Obama in the Rose Garden the day after the attack on this thread???
He most certainly did say that it was "an act of terror."
Or are you hoping that if you continue to try to spread the LIE, that someone will actually believe it?

I watched the debate on CNN & their timers showed Obama talked 5 minutes longer than Romney. Every time Romney tried to get equal time to make his point the moderator Candice would shut him down. She was defiantly trying to make Romney look bad. Romney had to be assertive & step on her toes because she would have shut him out & let Obama do all the talking.
Yeah, well, Willard spent so much time arguing with the moderator and trying to dictate the rules of the debate ("WAH.....It's MY turn! I want the last word! WAH.......") that maybe those minutes counted against his time.
The moderator interrupted Romney over 3x more than she interrupted Obama, gave Obama almost 4 more minutes of talk time, and came in to "rescue" Obama when the whole semantics debacle went down.
Only one bully in that debate, and it was a she. Even so, Romney held his own and opinion polls show it no matter what you say.
So what's next, go back to binders of women jokes? Or Big Bird again? Anything to avoid addressing the current state of affairs and last 4 years....
I believe that President Bush coined the "W" moniker for himself and I saw many of his closest advisors use it on a regular basis, guys like Karl Rove.
Yes, to distinguish himself from his father, GHW Bush.

That was especially menacing and disrespectful.
Agreed. It was also a rules violation.

What's Biden got to do with this debate?

Yes he is President. That means highest ranking civil servant. In other words he works for us and respect is a 2 way street.
"Mommy! HE started it!"

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.
Read my link. You sure did watch a different debate than I did. Romney went first, and when Crowley tried to shut him up, he approached her like he was going to threaten her.
I have no problem with Romney's conduct. He ended up hurting himself. He looked like an amateur in comparison and made some horrible tactical blunders. Leaving aside the "act of terror" shot in the foot, on at least two occasions, he voluntarily yielded time to Obama by asking Obama questions that were not rhetorical. Obama then stood up and was provided another opportunity to lecture Romney. I will guarantee you that Mitt's handlers were screaming somewhere offstage. You would think that after this many years of trying to get elected and many debates, Mitt would have learned not to do something like that.
You are correct, but his biggest blunder was at the end when he opened the door for the 47% discussion. What a lead in for Obama. That was just stupid on Romney's part. He just threw him a softball.
