Presidential Debate

When I think of Romney, "support for the middle class" doesn't come to mind.

I just don't see it.

The problem I have with either one of them talking about support for the middle class is that the government shouldn't be supporting the middle class. If I remember correctly, the middle class supports the government(or has in the past). Our government was established to provide the protection of certain unalienable rights and no more. Until the government can limit its self to protecting those rights then we will never be the great nation we were. Those who work the hardest get the spoils. No one owes us anything. You want nice things work for them. You want nicer things, work harder. This philosophy has gone by the wayside. If you could show me a politician who truly believed in serving the people as a whole and not a small group of contributors I might watch a debate. Otherwise they are saying what they think people want to here. The whole campaign process has become a farce in to who has the most money to spend. Limit each campaign to$1 million dollars each and take the big business buying politicians out of play. We just had an example of big business controlling our government happen here in TN with the Parking Lot bill. Do you think it is any difference in Washington. Rant off!

Gun owner's action league supported it for the trade-offs they got.

Here's a fantastic interview Romney did a few weeks ago, he covers his non-support for any UN restrictions, allowing reciprocity laws for concealed carries across state lines, and a few other great points.

I read that when it came out. Part of that homework I mentioned.

I better go ahead and vote tomorrow, before Mitt turns me off even worse on personal level. He's morphed his already unlikeable self into a rabid ferret on crank.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm too young to remember(but I've seen the old videos), but doesn't anyone remember when candidates actually respected each other? I don't expect them to like each other, but their lack of respect really gets old. The constant interruptions and insults from both sides is embarrassing.

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.

I'm sure Mittens will ban all AWs and people here will praise him for his 2nd Amendment Day declaration and increasing his federal gun licenses by one year.

I copied this from the link you provided! Sorry, I do not konw how to copy it and post as a "quote" from the link!

In a court of law, this is called, "leading a witness"! "Cox is basically telling him what to say"!

That is one question, an interview is for discussing things. If you look near the beginning, he got a share of short questions thrown his way. If the entire interview went like:

What is your favorite color?

What day is it today?

Did you pass regulation on firearms?

Do you own a gun?

No one would read/listen to the thing because the reporter is basically doing what any bozo with an iq of 45 was capable of. This was not a debate where someone was asking leading questions to the participants, it was a one on one interview.
