This is the thing that bothers me most. It is quite possible that last night was a draw or in favor of Romney, BUT FOR Candy Crowley attacking MItt on Benghazi. Why on God's green eatrth do Republicans allow far left moderators. Using Candy Crowley was like using a dumber Charles Krauthammer. Last lady moderator was almost like using Ann Coulter. I mean give me a break, whats wrong with us??

The only way the American people get a non-media-filtered view of Romney is when he is on one of these LIVE debates. The mainline media reports on him with bias. True it is a court stacked against him, but at least his quotes are there for us to see and not re-tuned by the person writing a story or editing a tape.

Cry, cry, cry. You lost this one, get over it.

It really doesn't matter who wins which debate.
What matters is who wins in November.

How many people will change their vote based on these debates?

. . . . . . And he mopped the floor with Lyin' Ryan. What does that tell you?

Mopped the floor? What debate did you watch? His grinning and guffawing made him look like a loon. Is that who you want having his finger over the button? Better yet, if your pilot started grinning like that fool right before take off what wouold you do?

I found myself laughing at some of Lyin' Ryan's antics myself. The Republicans are whining that Joe Biden was disrespectful to Paul Ryan during the vice presidential debate with his laughter and smirks. Um, I thought he was doing all that because of the nonsense Paul Ryan was spewing. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/12/1002021/at-the-vice-presidential-debate-ryan-told-24-myths-in-40-minutes/?mobile=nc

Absolutely, Beach. Anyone who watched last night and came away thinking that Governor Romney won that debate either has already made up their mind to vote for him or they were confused by Mitt's continuous stream of lies. When they said they would "not allow their campaign to be dictated by the fact checkers" -- it was about the only truthful thing they've said.

Here's a healthy sampling of Mitt's Myths from last night:

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/10/17/1030581/at-last-nights-debate-romney-told-31-myths-in-41-minutes/?fb_action_ids=10151053213432484&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

Personally, I believe that most people have made up their mind in this election. But if you're on the fence, I say this -- maybe you believe that we deserve better candidates (in the major parties) than these and you're frustrated, but these are our choices. If you're part of the middle class, if you like your mortgage deduction, your child tax credit, the current rates the government provides on Stafford student loans, if you value women's rights (medical, fair pay), if you're a senior concerned about your healthcare -- don't take my word for it -- do your research and don't get caught up in the extreme factions of either party. Do your research based upon the things that affect you and your family the most and I think you'll find that your checks and balances lead you to voting to re-elect President Obama.

If you are a taker, then vote for Obomber. If you are a producer, then vote for Romney

Uncle Moe, What would you call this?

You've got my vote Joey :)

ABO is funny Joey, but the truth is not voting or third party voting will just get Obama re-elected. Anyone who cares about the way the USA has deteriorated under Obama needs to make sure they go out to vote for the one person who might defeat him and in this case only Romney has a shot.

And Romney (inventor of Obamacare, 34% job approval, high taxes / increased spending, wants to go to war with Iran & Syria, wants to keep everything at the Federal Reserve as is) would be any better. He's every bit as much of a corrupt puppet as Obama. Not to mention, calling him a businessman is a joke. At best, he's a trust fund baby and a paper pusher - nothing to write home about.

Right on, Uncle Moe. I'll bet you there's a lot more people out there that think like we do, but they're just too willing to settle for what they perceive as the lesser of two evils time and time again. If we convinced these people to abandon that way of thinking, perhaps we could actually send some decent candidates to office every so often. I would be happy if even 10% of voters picked someone other than Obamney. At least it would send a message that the electorate is starting to wake up and that if they do an inadequate job of representing the people, they're getting tossed out with the trash.

What illegal wars? Congress, including Queen Hillary, Princess Nancy, Harry Reid, John Kerry, voted for them as required by the US Constitution.

No declaration of war= illegal. We've just been acting like the dying empire we are, invading the middle east and libya on a whim for oil.

When you say illegal war does this include the Korean War? This war is still waiting for a peace agreement.

Yes. All war is for profit by the offshore banking cartel that funds both sides so they never lose

Ed, the Korean War was not a "war". It was a UN Police Action. There was an armistice signed in 1953 but never a peace treaty. If there were to be a treaty it would be between North and South Korea.
A few years after the armistice Congress passed a bill to call it a 'war' so that the vets could claim veteran's benefits.

Four years ago He said that if He couldn't fix the economy in four years, it would be a one term presidency. Now He says it will take another term. And if the next four years doesn't do the trick, will He want another term?

I bet you could find several "Zumba" studios within a few blocks of the Obama compound in DC

What is wrong with capitalism? Capitalism is what built this country. People can here from all over the world to get their share of the American dream, which at one time meant work hard and succeed.
Now it seems to be come to America and someone will give you everything.

You noticed that I said CRONY capitalism ... didn't you? Completely different thing. It's when politicians pander to their top fundraisers by giving them bailouts, tax loopholes, and pushing policies that they benefit from (i.e. foreign conflicts for the weapons contractors, drug laws for the for-profit prison operators). That's what I have a problem with, and both Obama & Romney are guilty of it.

Who said anything about race but you Mattie? You are stupid if you can't tell that Cowlike Candy, (yeah, that name really fits) Crowley is a flaming liberal and you are the racist for bringing up Obummers race.

I thought Mattie was a little better than that. Because someone is passionate about wanting Obama out he's a racist? So when Obama is defeated it is going to be America suddenly became a racist nation after putting him in office in 2008?

Obama was just as "disrespectful". Don't be so delusional.

...and "racist" code words only exist on PMSNBC.

I bet you didn't say that John Kerry shouldn't have had respect for George W Bush when they debated in '04.

Voting FOR Obama just because he is black is just as racist as NOT voting for him because he is black.

3. He's a Mormon.

So your a bigot?

Project, look up what the Church of Latter-Day Saints thought of African-Americans until 1978, and then tell me who the bigots are.

Rufus, look at how the Democrats thought of African Americans up until the 1960s.

And what is Obama hiding by having all of his college records sealed?

Rick, just because I oppose Mitt Romney, that doesn't make me a Democrat. But go ahead and feel free to jump to conclusions.

GOSH OH GOLLY!
Something totally different. A SRK running for president. Glad FDR, JFK, John Kerry, Lyndon Johnson never ran for president.

Rufus, I wasn't saying you were a Democrat, only pointing out that the dems were anti African American for most of US history

Rick..none of Obama's records are "sealed"

Arrogant Obama feels we should just forego the election and just let him remain in the Whitehouse w/o having to be responsible for the last 4 years of his failures.

BTW why should Romney be held to a higher standard than Obama was 4 years ago wehn then Sen Obama never gave any specifics on his direction for the budget? Obama is a fraud and a failure,had no track record or experience of anything prior to becoming Senator. Being President is not an opportunity for on the job training and that is exactly what he has looked like.

Arrogant Obama thinks his college records shouldn't be questioned

Oh and as for bobble head Biden ,he insisted in the debate the embassy never asked for more security ,only to be contradicted by his very own white house staff within the hour after the debate !

it's going to be interesting to hear the rhetoric on today's failed attack on the US Treasury in NYC.

Will it be;
"our intelligence got it right this time and spoiled a terrorist attack" (boy what a coincidence and great timing for the POTUS)

or

"there was no terrorist attack just a guy who wanted to make an early withdrawal"

or

"al qadea is dead so it can't be them"

The binder of women comment is getting more play than the fact that Romney really did champion women hires and flex time, two issues that are important to women in the work force who still have the major responsibility for child care.
And what is it with Hillary? She was said to be so smart and such a model for feminists and she allows herself to be treated like such a doormat. She puts up with Bill Clinton, she allows Obama and the democrats who courted her to throw her under the bus, - the more this Libya thing unravels the slimmer her chances get for 2016. Why does she let herself be used as a doormat for ambitious male politicians?

Fox News had a steady parade of guests on in 2008 saying that that President Bush had no control over gas prices....but now that Obama is President, they have done a 180.

At any rate, anyone with a brain in their head know that the higher price of oil and gas is the result of much higher demand around the world and that the price is set on world markets.

BUT, BUT four years ago Obama said he could fix everything in four years or it would be a one term presidency.
We all saw him read it off of his teleprompter.

But, it was the Clinton administration obsessed with multiculturalism that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend and originally helped create the market for the high-risk subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street's most revered institutions.

Tough new regulations forced lenders into high-risk areas where they had no choice but to lower lending standards to make the loans that sound business practices had previously guarded against making. It was either that or face stiff government penalties.

The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership. And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and Democrats now decry as not only greedy but "predatory."

The only thing Bush has had to do with this is that in 2004 he (along with McCain who cosponsored the bill) and a few other congressmen tried to overhaul and regulate how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were run and their financing.

The Democrats Blocked the measure:

Top 3 receivers of Fannie Mae Funds.

Chris Dodd
Barack Obama
John Kerry

It's not a coincidence

Republicans racists?
Who gave us the 13th, 14th & 15th Amendments?
Who gave us the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 & 1960?
Oh yeah, that would be the party with the elephant logo.

Who gave us the "Jim Crow" laws that existed from the 1800s until the 1960s?
That would be the donkey party

Mitt Romney doesn't speak for all of us with his complete lack of a platform. And seriously, you think the Democrats are your friends - the people who mandated all of us to buy health insurance under penalty of fines? The people who think the Federal Reserve doesn't need to be audited? The people who vehemently oppose energy exploration? Yes, the Republicans haven't been any better, but to think that Democrats are our friends after causing us so much hardship makes absolutely no sense.

10/4 you got it right

I think that was the point of brick2mom

JVDB...Morality.........perhaps in schools..teachers should only teach facts NOT opinions. Morality should be taught at home..that's the problem with the world today too many people too lazy to do the responsible thing and not expect some one else to do it for them...

John I don’t know why people find Mitt’s comment to be so shocking. First let me say that I’m not a Mitt supporter nor do I find Obama to be the answer to all of America’s ills. But Mitt’s comment does have some underlying truth to it. I can’t validate the percentage that he quoted but there is a large percentage of Americans that want to be taken care of by the government. They don’t want to take accountability for their own lives. They would rather get government support then to have to work ,
There are also people out there that complain about the cost of prescription drugs but do not take accountability for their own health. They eat what the want; they don’t excercise and they smoke a pack a day. And they want free meds from government. It’s not the governments responsibilty to enable its citizens to live unhealthy lives. A free pill is not the answer. Take accountability for your own health and you probably wouldn’t need most meds.
I realize this does not apply to many Americans but lets not pretend it not happening out there.

Romney is too intimidated by the Tea Party making him too weak to be President.

..the Tea Party wonks are going to tear Romney apart if he gets elected. That should be fun to watch?

If Romney was such a great success, why did his approval numbers fall to 34%? Also, his government-run health care plan takes money not only from the state, but from the federal payroll as well. Like many absurd proposals at both the state and federal levels, it wound up costing a lot more than the estimates projected. And what good has it done? Absolutely none, actually - unless you count making health care more expensive, being forced to buy it under penalty, and waiting a lot longer to see a doctor. America is stuck with two really bad choices this year, and it's incredibly disappointing to know that things are going to get worse for the foreseeable future with one of these bums leading us.

Didn't your teacher explain that Congress consists of the House of Representitives
and the Senate?

Tonto= Van Jones!

Yeah, like MoveOn didn't 'create' a few votes in Ohio four years ago.
