Presidential Debate

[DaveS]

Is it just me or has Obama beat around the bush and avoided answering almost every question?

Seems they both did to some extent. Especially the question regarding AK-47s.

There are reports that the lady who asked the job equality question is the media coordinator for Code Pink.

I do not doubt this when I heard they were holding a town hall and all questions have been pre picked I figured that something like this was gonna happen.

Did anyone catch that the Green Party Candidate was arrested while protesting her exclusion from this debate. http://www.washingto...de-debate-site/

It's time that more than just two voices be heard from in these debates. I'm sick of hearing both R and O lie. Hell, they won't even talk about the real issues this country is facing.

I'm so sick of looking at Obama's #### eatin grin...

That's an understatement.

I thought it was hilarious that Romney tried to downplay signing the AWB, claiming that pro-gun people got together with anti's and "this is what they wanted".

Why not just admit he made a mistake and reassure us it won't happen again? That would have earned my respect. He should have also pointed out what Obama said about the violence in Chicago. Here is a prime example of a city with the strictest gun control plagued by violence. He passed up a great opportunity there.

Oh well, I guess it's better to have someone in office that MIGHT sign another AWB instead of someone who undoubtedly WILL sign an AWB.

Dude, really? Romney clearly stated that he saw no need for further legislation. Come on!

In such a politically correct setting, with manufactured public perceptions about guns, that statement is huge. He has a spine.

Agreed!

Everything I have been able to find on that issue says Romney was telling the truth. You need to dig into it more.

It's time that a third voice amassed enough following to be heard first. Ross Perot is about the only one that's ever done that. BTW... Ross endorsed Romney yesterday.

Ironic, since a few weeks ago Perot said neither one is good for the country.

He always was a little crazy

The only reason Perot was able to get the amount of attention he did was because he was allowed into the debates. The CPD was formed afterwards by the R & D to fix that problem. Any candidate who is on enough state ballots to numerically win the election should be included in the debates.

Even if they don't show in the polls? Perot got 19% of the vote in his first run. He was a REAL candidate.

Wtf do these idiots refer to all guns as ak47's for?

I can call her fat because SHE'S fat.

Exactly.

That fat bitch is obviously pro Obama . I can call her fat because I am fat

No, that's not correct. That's like saying only black people can call 0bama an idiot or only black people can use the so-called "n" word. Doesn't work that way. An idiot is an idiot, a fat person is fat, etc.

Romney is a dick! A cult member!

In his world, he is use to getting his way! He wants it his way and that's all there is too it!

He is in for a rude awaking! He won't get his way in Washington! Washington is not one of his companies!

Yes, even if they don't show in the polls. The reasoning begin that being having them in a debate with the R and the D gives a clearer picture of the other choices and shows how little difference there really is between the R and D. Both the Libertarian and Green parties would pull significant numbers away from the R&D if given equal access in what is now a rigged debate structure controlled by the R&D parties.

Really Mike? You are really going to defend Romney's signing of the AWB? I would love to know who these "pro-gun" people are that supported this. I don't know many on here who would.

So let me get this straight. If Obama gets together next year with a group of pro gun and anti-gun folks and they reinstate an AWB you will defend his actions?

The kool-aid must be good.

Again, I'm willing to move past Romney signing the ban, I'm just stating he should have been a man and admitted he made a mistake instead of trying to claim this is something pro-gun people wanted.

... and you should be able to tell jokes on the Leno show because I like you? You need more friends

Stop spewing opinions without doing your homework.

That does it! I'm changing my vote to Obama. He is dreamy and all
