Presidential debate tonight

It's about 1 1/2 hours before the debate - be sure to watch. "Town Hall" format with allegedly undecided voters.

Frankly, if you are an undecided voter between Obama and Romney, I think you haven't paid any attention whatsoever to the world at all the past 4 years.

exactly

if you've paid any attention whatsoever to the world at all the past 4 years, it would be damn near impossible to vote for Obama again.

You don't like a guy who lowered your taxes, lowered business taxes, saved the country from a depression, lowered the deficit by 3% of GDP, lowered federal spending to the lowest since Reagan, created 5.6 million jobs, gave you healthcare benefits, saved the US auto industry, and removed the anti-gay bias in the military?

Wow - what else did you want in 4 years?

New Romney website

After months of not saying the details at Romney's last debate, and at Ryan's debate, there is a website you can go to, to find out all the details of the Romney-Ryan tax plan: how they are going to cut $5 trillion dollars, and how it will be paid for

Here is the site: http://www.romneytaxplan.com/

I wasn't dumb enough to vote for him the first time, but I get your point.

ROR, love the lady that dragged out Dumya Bush...Romney couldn't shed that crap quick enough...I ain't G Bush he says....:D...bet she was a lib plant...

I like how neither of them really answered the peoples questions.

But you were smart enough to vote for a ticket that included Sarah Palin:zz:

She had more experience than Obama himself at the time.

McCain tried to out "political-correct" the Democrats. Would have been better to make a merit-based selection, regardless of ethnic background or gender. This is something the libs cannot understand, and the GOP also forgot in 2008.

i also did not vote for Obama 4 years ago.. by again, i meant that Obama has been in office the past 4 years.

That debate last night just reaffirmed my belief that we need a strong third party in this country.

Game, set, Obama.
The president did exactly what he needed to in tonight's debate: He used Romney against Romney.

Quote:

President Obama did what he needed to do tonight. He took the debate to Mitt Romney. He was relaxed, even jaunty, as he scored one point after another. He seemed to be enjoying himself at Romney’s expense. He looked more comfortable and commanding as the debate wore on, while Romney looked more stiff, edgy, and salesman-like.

Quote:

[Romney helped the president out by making a few unforced errors. Obama was clearly vulnerable on the Benghazi attach. His initial response was not all that persuasive because it ducked the question of who screwed up by failing to honor the request for more security. But then Romney saved Obama’s bacon by alleging that the day after the attack, Obama was still calling it a protest in response to an offensive video.

It fell to moderator Candy Crowley to correct Romney, a too-rare factual intervention by a debate moderator, which knocked Romney totally off his game and diverted attention from the legitimate issue of why more security was not provided. Obama had also missed an opportunity to point out that it was the Republican House that cut the administration’s request for embassy security by $300 million, which could have settled the issue right then and there.

Mitt Romney’s “binders full of women” .

Quote:

A highlight of last night’s town hall debate (at least for women) was when GOP hopeful Mitt Romney answered voter Katherine Fenton’s question about women inequalities in the workplace. Romney’s response had nothing to do with women’s inequalities, but everything to do with his bizarre quest to find “qualified women” for his campaign, which apparently was so difficult that he had to collect “binders full” of those things called “women.”

If Romney had a binder full, Clinton had a Trapper Keeper full :D
