Likewise, Biden almost whipped the hell out of Ryan and Obama, even if, IMO, he didn't whup butt on Romney last night, he won, if anyone did and the fact that Cons would say that Romney for sure won are just showing their sheep side.
How did he win? On what? While the CNN poll gives Obama a slight edge, it showed that Romney won on the more important issues...


Economy: Romney wins 58-40%

Health care: Romney wins 49-46%.

Taxes: Romney wins 51-44%.

And actually we can't even be sure that much of Mitt's "bump" after the first debate, wasn't simply because a lot of Republican-leaning "Independents" finally found some reason to "get on board".

Why do so many liberals fail math?

His approval rating was so low because he raised fees and cut spending in an effort to reduce the $1.5B deficit.

And do we need to discuss the healthcare legislation which he passed, which Obama last night said was EXACTLY the same as his? Do you need to ask why his ratings were so low?

Seriously, you arent making any points other than repeating the same old talking point bull **** over and over..

By your standards, we should elect George W. Bush to a third term because even he had a higher approval rating than Romney when he left office.

Is it too late to call up Newt Gingrich? The GOP needs a substitute.

Failure.

Not only does Romney drive businesses into failure, but states, too.

BULL BULL and BULL.
Health care legislation was going to get PASSED no matter what Romney did.. Dems and whatever Repubs were in house had already agreed on it and it was MATTER of TIME. Romney JUMPED on the band wagon and took all the credit. Dems did not mind it as the main aim was to pass the legislation. Now that was bi partisanship from Dems to let Gov. Romney take the credit ...
I have lived thru it and i know it...
So you can say whatever you want to...

If Romney can't run Massachusetts, what makes you think he can run America?
Half truths are the hallmark of the left.

Romney had a high approval rating up until it was clear that he was going to run for the presidency. At that point he became a somewhat absentee governor. As I said in another of your "Romney destroyed Massachusetts" threads, the people of Massachusetts think that they are at the center of the political world and when their top politician leaves to run for higher office they think to themselves "what higher office is there?"

BTW Michael Dukakis had a job approval rating in Massachusetts of 19% in 1989, which was right after his presidential run.

I think Obama will be getting a decent bump in the polls after the second debate. Whether that will be sustained remains to be seen.

Romney (please note the correct way to spell his name - it's not spelt Romeny) won't gain much from this debate. I would say he'll either slip a little or stay static at best.

Wow, so now bills just pass on their own without a Governor/Presidential signature and guidance..

How exactly does that work? I have lots of paperwork here that needs done, and since you're now telling me things get done on their own, I'm anxiously awaiting your input on how thats done..
