    Obama let Ro-money browbeat him pretty good. I think he didn't mention Mitts 47%,or his instant change of position remark about his flip/denial on taxes because he's basically a gentler person. Foolish but gentler. Ro-money's eyes occasionally reminded me of a shark. 2 more debates,so maybe O will get tougher.

    Rat or someone will come on and say we're fools for watching,for believing it makes any differance,etc,etc. As someone on the forums said(?) "if you don't know the differance between the parties,you're lazy". Don't know if Gary Johnson will be on our ballot,but I remember that when I read his ideas and what he would try to accomplish if he was elected--I liked what he said..

    Ro-money talked way too fast-almost frantically and pretty much took over the debate. The moderater was run over like road kill and had no control. Looked to me like Ro-money was on speed.

    Are you sure? If that's true, he should be debating also. Usual lock out of 3rd party/viable candidates.

    I'm sure. He filed suit against both RNC and DNC for locking him out.

    Wow! The cons sure are emboldened by Romney now. Still no substance, same old slime. That's why Romney only uses attacks on Obama, no substance on his own record, and it distracts from the truth.

    On the tv show "MASH", Charles Emerson Winchester the third, was a died in the wool republican. Anybody notice that Romney acts just like him? The snobbery, the arrogance, and the holier than thou mentality are just the way the cons are. Frank Burns was a con too. The ignorance, the ninnyness, and lack of mental faculties accurately portray the con ideology. Romney's wife said she would worry about Mitts mental health if he becomes POTUS. I already worry about it, I think he's living in LA LA land.

    I was disappointed in Omama in that he seemed halting at times like he was thinking. Which we know doesn't appeal to most people. Mittens sounded plaintive but positive about what he was saying, which considering it's all theory and has no basis in any sort of fact (like religious arguments) really strikes a chord with Repugs who are basically the downdumbed party. Only Repugs can take trillions of dollars Federal surplus, spend it on war and think they have done something Republican. Go figure? Don't bother. Take it on faith. (You simply have-to!) I think Omama should have shown some emotion. But then it would have displaced. Since we know that only anger is respected nowadays.

    There is this theory that residents outside of the USA should have the right to vote in US elections considering how much impact the US has on the rest of the World...What do you think...Ps I can't stand Romney's "presidential" face...

    Since the "opponents" are both campaigning to represent the same (future) corporate taskmasters, the "debates" miss the mark; they don't debate issues that call into question the disturing unholy alliance between multinational corporations and US american politicians.

    What will be the outcome of overwhelming multinational corporate cash used to "influence" american politicians?

    Will our representative government represent the american worker or the multinational businessman?

    Will the real living american receive any representation at all?

    Of course Mittens "won". Obama looked like he was on ambien and didn't throw many counter punches. Romney on the other hand was basically promising every American a pony.

    I will reduce the deficit while spending more money on the military, covering pre-existing conditions, and give everyone a tax cut, because I have proposals which have "never been tried before".

    To me, yes.

    However since I usually have a minority view, I don't know if the answers to those questions are self-evident to others.
