Firrrrrst !!

 

2 One telling thing for me is that over thelast couple of weeks, the focus has been totally on "debate performance" and especially on whether or not Obama or Biden could perform well enough to beat Romney or Ryan. None of it has been about whether Romney or Ryan would beat Obama or Biden. That's weird enough. But the weirdest thing for me is that a conclusion of the question of who would be the better president as a result of an analysis of what the candidates have said in the debates has not really been made. I think it is obvious to any honest critical thinker that both Romney and Ryan demolished the SCOAMT team on substance and that the Obama Biden team have yet to even show up on substance. They've shown that they can aggress, but that's it.

Thank you for your support and, yes, I was a little off my game last night.  I think I know where Obama lied, but can anyone here on this illustrious list please enumerate some of them for me, just so I can be prepared next week.

.

Your help and support is invaluable to me.  You are the real America I am fighting for.

Who needs a teleprompter when you have a moderator?

 

7 He should run ads with Candy admitting she was wrong.

8

"Crowley proved that if the GOP lets "undecided" voters for the Daily Kos and partisan hacks like her continue to frame these debates they are idiots. Radditz and Crowley should be the death knell for the Commission on Presidential Debates "

 

Should be, but won't be.  Republicans are a guy with blue balls and the media is the stuck-up rich girl they've wanted to bang since eighth grade.

9 I've heard is said that the side that comes out with an ad first after a debate won the debate.

Looks like Team Romney won again.

10 He might have scored big on Libya had Crowley not jumped from the ropes with an illegal groin kick

TFG went on The View two weeks after to insist that it wasn't a terrorist attack

11 Anyone know how many watched the debate?

12

Libtard tears. On Ice. With Bourbon.

November 7th. Let it be the "Day After".

13 2.Posted by: HtP at October 17, 2012 11:01 AM (jx2j9)..Hi, just letting you know that one of the listmembers, a nice guy, told me that people tend to scroll over "walls of text" and to keep it short and sweet.  .I like your analysis, but just letting you know what I was told earlier..And thanks for making me the man I am today.God bless America, etc and so forth. 

14

It was obvious to me that Obama had been practiced on interrupting in order to avoid certain questions.  Crowley certainly stepped up when SCOAMT stumbled.

15 JEF knew damn well that Benghazi was an AQ attack, on US soil, on the 9/11 anniversary.  He decided to try to lie his way out of those "inconvenient truths" with some bullshit excuse about a video, but as a precaution he added that little throw-away line at the very end of his remarks as a CYA just in case somebody (like Mitt) called him on his lies.

He's a disgrace for that alone, hiding behind Crowley's apron folds makes him even more disgraceful.

16 I think he was actually good on "pay equity". Obama gave platitudes and bromides but Romney gave concrete answeres based on his past experience. I do agree that he should have mentioned Obama's women staff being paid less. That was low hanging fruit. But from the perspective of someone who isn't as up to snuff as we are about these things, Romney probably did at least OK.

17

Still waiting on that list of Obama lies.  Thanks everyone.  God Bless the United States of America, etc ad nauseum.

 

18 The ad should be Obama saying he knew it was a terror attack on the first day....then a montage of Rice, Hillary, and O talking about the video

19 The only mistake Mitt made was to expect the JEF to answer truthfully when directly questioned about oil leases. Mitt gets another bite of the Libya apple next debate. JEF came off shady and unlikable.

20 I heard that Michelle Obama is replacing Bob Schieffer as the moderator in the last debate.

21 Mitt just started the foreign policy debate, he will finish it on 10/22.

22 Candy Machine Crowley took the heat off Lehrer with her mis-correction correction. Who the hell is the next moderator, dare I ask?

23

Very good ad.

 

I listened to a Philly local talk radio show this morning.  The host is a former local news anchor who moderated many debates at the state level.  He shredded Candy Crowley and also hammered Obama for being evasive and not offering any sense of where he will lead the country if he is reelected.  He said, you do not win a debate simply by scoring the most attack points on your opponent - that is a "high school debate contest" mentality but does not work in political debates where the two canddiates are competing on (a) who seems the best fit for the office, and (b) who offers the most compelling vision and agenda for a better future.  And Romney simply kicked Obama's ass on both for those scores.

 

Callers to this show included a black woman who said she was inclined toward Romney after the first debate and this one cemented her vote.  Another caller is a Teamster who said Obama is killing jobs with his out of control environmental agenda and all the union guys he knows are votibng Romney.  Several callers said they did not think Romney got the worst of the exchange on Libya, because Obama appeared to be hiding behind Candy Crowley's skirt and that is not manly.

24 So, where's the Obama ad from debate footage?
Where's Biden's?

Something tells me that if you were making points that appealed to the middle during the debate, you'd run that footage in a commercial.

Why?

Did you notice the graphics embedded in the footage? Mitt's stealing credibility/trust here--and you do that anytime you can.

The big "The Presidential Debates: 2012" is a huge trust stamp and also reminder of the stakes.

If the JEF was making a play for the middle, he'd do the same thing.

25 We see it from the perspective of things we know that we think he should have said instead of from an ignorant undecided voter who doesn't know those things and those doesn't see their absence as a problem.

29 17...your concern touches me...deeply...really.

30

Well, to be fair, he did pass the Ledbetter Act, which I and my Republican colleagues oppose vociferously, and I didn't really have anything to counter his accomplishing what he promised except my "binders of women" - so I gotta let that one go. 

31 Are there any Libya ads out there? (I don't watch TV.) After last night, there need to be. Show Obama's non-answer and lie juxtaposed with his actual actions and statements.

32 Breitbart article: Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times, and she only interrupted Obama 9! It's hard to get any momentum/traction when you aren't allowed to complete a second. Every time she told Romney he'd get a chance to respond, I knew he wouldn't. I was right. These debates are exposing just how vile our MFM is. They will do whatever it takes to get TFG re-elected. Disgusting,

33 How did Romney screw up on Libya?  The only screw-up I heard was when he got overly defensive of his "blind trust" or whatever.  Other than that I think he made the important points.  If anyone didn't know the Obama cartel was being misleading about the whole thing they know now.

34 Methinks we overestimate the impact of gender inequality and Lilly Ledletter.  Those issues appeal to some women, but usually those who will vote for Dems anyway.  I think Romney did as well as he could there, specifically focusing on employer flexibility.  That appeals to women too.  And of course most rational women understand that flexibility is one of the tradeoffs that lead to some pay inequality.  It would have been nice to point out that Obama pays his women less, but that could have come off as snide.  Regardless, Mitt  did as well as  he could on it. 

35 What looked like a missed opportunity for Romney last night on the 9/12 Rose Garden Speech might wind up working in his favor any way.
Romney probably should have worried less about parsing whether Obama called it an act of terror the next day, and buried him on the broader issue of his deception. Crowley jumping in, throwing Obama a lifeline, then walking back her statement after the debate will keep people talking about this issue. Though he did use the words "acts of terror", there is no denying that he spent the next 2 weeks pushing a narrative that he knew to be false.

The controversy will make it harder for Obama and his media buddies to avoid this topic, and will make it the big issue that people will remember from the debate. That is bad news for the president.

36

Fact checkers:  Two parties blew it on certain topics.  Obama and the questioners.

 

37 btw, do those people who argued that Mitt will not take 0 head on,  wanna apologize ?

38 My wife has a detached retina, I (probably) have carpal tunnel in my left hand, we're struggling to keep afloat, everybody I know is hurting except the ones in the Washington bubble, and I'm REALLY, REALLY TENSE. I don't think I can last 20 days but I'll try, with the help of the horde and occasional primal screams in the garage. Thank you for listening. Back to your originally scheduled blog, already in progress.

39 10 He might have scored big on Libya had Crowley not jumped from the ropes with an illegal groin kick
=========
It was more of a tackle from the sidelines as Mitt was running free for a touchdown in, what had been, a field goal contest up to then.

40

Why so hard on Meatloaf Drew? He did the best he could as moderator last night.

41 The phony "town hall" format exists only to give cover to MSM bias.  They pick the biased questions from Dem plants, but the format gives viewers the (false) impression that it was just a random audience member who asked it.

CNN and Crowley can simply say "See, that wasn't our question.  The audience asked that, so don't blame us".  Which is of course bullshit, because they intentionally chose the question and participant.

42 The Chicago Tribune somehow managed to write their story despite having Obama's rod in their mouth. Here's the sub-headline: Analysis: The President Obama who strode the debate stage Tuesday night banished the image of the dull and listless performer who almost ushered Mitt Romney back into the competition. Yeah, Romney's not in the competition or anything like that, but man, that was close.

43

Should be, but won't be. Republicans are a guy with blue balls and the media is the stuck-up rich girl they've wanted to bang since eighth grade.

Posted by: Thunderb at October 17, 2012 11:07 AM (Dnbau)

....

....

...

Well, again guys, to be fair, he explained that oil companies were sitting on the leases indefinitely, so they got yanked, and then relet (that means leased again).  I mean, there's no question that big oil has me in their pocket -- advocating a pipeline from Canada that is just for refining a finite amount of crude that will be exported, not come to the U.S. market.  But whatever, the lease question was actually answered.  So I gotta let that one go, too.

50

Crowley really helped Obama out twice - Big on Lybia, and on F & F, which Obama never had to respond to.  Mitt's charge against Obama was pretty weak too, but perhaps appropriate. 

 

Sure the questions had a liberal tilt and Candy let Obama talk more and interupted Mitt more, but that is to be expected.  However, saving Obama on Lybia and not making  Obama  answer the charge on F & F.  Those are terrible.

51 I'd like to see one hitting Obama on his pipeline remark also (that he said something to the effect that we have enough pipelines already).

52 30...yes and that's why Bamms female staff are payed less than the men...thanks for playing.

53 45 To my point above, I think Mitt and Ryan just need to be calm and reassuring. Yeah, I want Mitt to open up with the heavy artillery, but he has to do it in a nice, measured and calm tone. I think he can do this.

54 "Crowley was an embarrassment who should be fired immediately." Yes and yes.

55 Oh, and I was so disappointed that Romney didn't point out the pay discrepancy and hypocrisy displayed Obama paying female staffers less than men. I don't think very many people outside of us bitter clingers are aware of that. That being said, I think Romney really left a mark with tying Obama's failed energy policies and the high price of gas.

56 Drew, I think you are dead on.  My thoughts exactly.  Great minds think alike, ha ha.

57 This was Mr. Romney's strongest and most important moment.

This is what people care about; a vision and plan for getting folks back to work and more financially secure.

People I know that are struggling said the most disappointing thing about Mr. Obama last night was his lack of that vision and a plan. They lamented he was not at least contrite and open to finding new ways to improve the economy.

Being partisan and sometimes closed to ideas from someone in another political party is often easier when you are financially secure. But when times are bad, parties seem to often take a back seat to ideas you honestly believe will personally help you.

The more people see of Mr. Romney, the more they believe he can sincerely help.

58 Team Romney needs stronger ads than that.  Find your balls, fellas.

Well, I did kind of run my mouth a little over more than the format permitted, and ignored her attempts to moderate, and generally dismissed her authority as a moderator as if I already had the job as commander in chief.  But, yeah, it's patently unfair for her to reel in someone of my stature.

 

62 -
I figured it out last night.  

Mitt's got the measure of Obama because Mitt's seen this before.

One of the experiences Mitt has is this:

Walking into a failing enterprise and listening to the CEO make all kinds of excuses and time-buying arguments for the business failing.

And then Mitt's either worked with the person to right the ship, or he's  let that person go.

Time for Barack to go.

All Barack is doing now is negotiating his parachute.

63 Catcher (not the pitcher) Mitt at October 17, 2012 you are a fucking idiot. A complete fucking idiot

64 Next Week: "Playing the part of President Obama tonight, Denzel Washington." If they're going to be biased retards, they might as well allow illegal substitutions.

65 Glenn Beck on his morning show, called it the emasculation of Obama. Romney schooled him several times on how the economy works and I have to agree with that. Women (me especially) react on many levels to an alpha male and Romney had that vibe; Obama not so much.

66 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant.

67 In 20 days, we will witness a great exodus of trolls, never to be seen again...

68 Admittedly I could not watch or even listen, although I was glued to this website.  In the photos and clips, TFG looks like a bad teenager about to go on a rampage, sans his adderall.  What the hell was wrong with him?

69 I  was  hiding  behind  Candy  Crowley's  skirt  last  night.  Guess  who  else  was  there  -  Barry  Soetoro!

70 Got to agree that these debates are crystallizing the idea that SCOAMF and Biden are shady a-holes. Yes, they've been aggressive, but they are turning women off. That might be RR's plan after all.

71 I  think  Obama  did pretty well all things considered.  Unfortunately, he has nothing to run on.  Mitt gave a very good indictment and there was no response.  For a  man with no record, Obama did pretty well.  But it will not be near enough.  In the end, he is an  incumbent  with no record who is shedding voters going up against a very succesful businesman who was a former govenor  who seems credible.  Fundamentals  matter.

72 Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times and Obama 5 times.  And of those 5, four of them were for going over his time limit.

73 So, can I just get a quick list of lies that Obama told.  I don't think I know what they are because I haven't been campaigning for the past four years while he's been the chief executive of the government as voted by the people of this great country.

78 I think Mitt answered well on pay equity and "how are you different than Bush?" Both questions were obviously dem biased and seem silly to us, but they gave Mitt an opportunity to alleviate some doubts among voters who are worried about these very things. I don't think Mitt mentioning the lower pay for women of the Obama administration would have made much difference. I like the fact that instead of getting into the weeds of actually addressing the pay difference issue, Mitt used this as an opportunity to show that he is pro-woman. And I think that is more important to voters than pointing out another boring hypocrisy of the Obama administration.

102 The desperation of the mobies is nectar to me. They're losing, they know they're losing, so they retreat into fantasies. It will be all they have, and it warms me.

103 While everyone is talking about Meatloaf jumping in and throwing the JEF a lifeline, the thing that got me the most excited, which NOBODY is talking about was Romney saying he would completely do away with the capital gains tax and tax on interest and dividends.

This is HUGE.  It cannot be understated.  You quit taxing capital gains, interest, and dividends, and this economy takes off like a rocket.

Or as Al Czervik said at the end of Caddyshack-- "WE'RE ALL GONNA GET LAID!!!"

I will admit that I was a Perry guy during the primary, but with that little nugget of economic planning out of the bag, I am FULL ON behind Romney. 

104 Isn't the debate moderator supposed to keep the candidates focused so they answer the questions? Crowley failed on that front too...Obama never answered the Benghazi question. "Who in your administration was responsible for denying these security requests?"

I support the pipeline, my opponent doesn't.  The difference is also that I know that the pipeline is just to REFINE oil that's going to be exported.  They are building a pipeline (finite jobs) for a finite amount of oil (more finite refinement jobs).  But I'm still behind it 100%, as you know, cuz it sounds like I a JOB CREATOR.  God Bless this list and God bless these United States of America, etc and so forth.

112 All my Facebook friends in California are sick of politics. Many criticize Romney but then subsequently unleash on Obama. Since Obama is the guy in charge, he can't escape realities. I'd say these are liv's that are calling bs on the president.

That's a pretty good observation and would make an effective 30 second ad.  Just Romney speaking to the camera and explaining "been there, seen it".

116 Romeny missed the chance to call-out Obama on the "enough pipeline to circle the earth" comment.

That pipeline Obama refers to was installed by the private sector and had zero to do with the government or Obama's policies.

>>Crowley interrupted Romney 28 times, and she only interrupted Obama 9!

 

I can't believe Romney behaved so badly that she had to do that! #waronwimmins

127 34 It would have been nice to point out that Obama pays his women less, but that could have come off as snide. When the truth looks "snide", you've already lost.

The point is, if women are actually paid less for the exact same work and experience, then how come every company isn't staffed top to bottom with women since their labor is cheaper?

Oh, right. Reality is a bitch.

133 Regular people, not pundits or the chattering class, thought Romney wiped the floor on all the issues that matter most to voters:  taxes, deficit, handling the economy, AND health care. Spinners will spin but Romney prevailed where it counts.

135 Our local sports guys "The Ticket" were talking about how Romney told "a sitting President of the United States" when he was coming out of his chair to interrupt, to wait his turn. I didn't really get their point, but this was a debate and Obama kept interrupting and Romney had the floor to make his point.

My bias aside, the more I think about it, the more I think Mitt did better than I originally thought.  I wanted him to say certain things, but that is more me than him.

I do hope someone will destroy that stupid myth of women making 72% of men someday.

140 Obama threw zingers to attack Mitt Romney

And Mooch intercepted and snarfed them down.

141 25: you said it very well! Wanting Romney to have said more on a topic or cited a certain fact or to have answered something slightly differently is not "losing" a portion of the debate. He'll have a whole debate to hammer the truth on Libya. And really, who cares if he brought up what Obama pays women? He'd just deflect and that's up to some other group or administrator.

142 I love sucking horse penis, it's just the best thing ever. I should be banned because I'm a worthless fuckwit even though I think I'm really smart.

Tell us again how it will take us 10 years to bring crude from ANWR to the market place.  I haven't heard that in at least 10 years or so.  

144 I liked the Ruth Bader Ginsberg dunce last night on Luntz's Dunces.  She said how that it wasn't a decision between Romney and Obama, it was between Romney and not voting.   There are probably a lot of former Obama voters out there that are like that, and that's not good for President Putt-Putt.

145 Well I have to say I liked yahoonews headline"Obama won the debate... too bad it wasn't the one that counts."

146 Ryan washed CLEAN POTS!!!!11ty!!

147 Romney should also run an ad showing Crowley interrupting him to defend Obama while the First Lady cheers and the President asks her to kiss his ass a little louder so the whole world can hear it. Then they should show Crowley backtracking on her remarks. The ad should open with Obama and his administration flacks blaming Libya on a video. Some Romney PAC get that to battleground TV.

148 But Obama came off like a lethal, restrained predator! Rowwr!!

149 O'Bumbles failed to pee in his pants or take a dump onstage, so the MSM will call him the "winner".  Candy Crowley sided against "Romley", so she will be lauded by the same MSM and attain higher pay and prestige for life. 

Meanwhile the American people realize that the SCOAMT has been a disaster and will remedy the situation accordingly.

And pudding and Val-U-Rite will flow from the countryside...

150 Re ad. Saw some info from Romney campaign yesterday that they had a 12 million dollar ad buy in for many swing states starting today. They were probably just waiting for debate content to load it up.  Romney won.

152 It should be called Not a Pussy , and Hillary "taking responsibility" should also be in it.

153 Next week: normal debate format (well, other than another liberal moderator).

Mitt Romney did not blow the Libya issue, he set the table for it prior to being cut off by Fat-Candy.

Mitt Romney also, out of no where, brought up Fast and Furious.

As Andrew Brietbart said: "drip, drip, drip."

Do y'all not think between now and next week there won't be more "leaks" or information given out by the State Dept and/or CIA regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi?

Do you not think that many uninformed people may be educated, finally, to what happened in Fast and Furious and the White House and DOJ still refusing to cooperate fully with Congressman Issa?

Do you not think that there will be more discussion re: the lies to the American people by this WH and Susan Rice? It is not going away. We must not let it go away.

Be patient, my little grasshoppers. Let them think they won. Who cares? It will not change Independents who have seen Romney vs Barky. Who looks more presidential? Who looks like someone sent to his time-out stool (when Mitt told him to go sit down). Who looked scared? Who lies? Who got "offended" while blasting the man who asked the question re: Benghazi? Who did not even answer his question?

154 Governor Romney came out of the hostile town hall the clear winner, due to his poise, maturity and clarity. He knew that the format was an enormous bamboo spike death trap, and successfully escaped unharmed. Candy "Do I Look Faaaaaaaaat?" Crowley exposed herself as the quintessential left wing media hack, by acting as Soetero's tag team partner when the ticklish topic of those "bumps in the road", preventing Ronmey from delivering the fatal blow.

While Soetero's sycophants on MSLSD were essentially FAP FAP FAP, their own set of test rabbits after the debate were swayed by...hold it...Romney!

The janitorial crew would have to use PPE to handle the disgusting bodily fluids left behind at MSLSD's desk, however, they would have to bag the entire desk in a giant red bag, based upon the lecherous discharge from Chris Matthews ALONE. As far as Sharpton...forget it.

163 "Libtard tears. On Ice. With Bourbon." I plan on making my ice out of their tears.

164 Umm, the statistics around the Lilly Ledbetter Act are specious at best.

Mr Obama and Democrats selectively picked statistics and presented them in a way which would show bigger discrepancies. The real figure show that women in the same jobs as men earn 95 cents on the dollar.

The reason for a 5 cent gap is that women often take time off or cut back to have children. That skew the statistics.

Also childless women in the 20 something age range earn more than their male peers.

It's Obama. You folks should know better than to take his numbers at face  value.

165

I love the way Obama says A, then says the opposite of A and when called on either, says, "as I've always said...., read the transcript."  Which transcript?  The convenient one, obviously.

Via Breitbart:

 

On CNNÂ’s “State of the Union” on September 30, Candy Crowley insisted David Axelrod, President Barack ObamaÂ’s chief strategist, was wrong when Axelrod tried to claim President Barack Obama called the Benghazi attack “an act of terror” on the day after.  

 

“First, they said it was not planned, it was part of this tape,” Crowley said when Axelrod tried to spin her.

 

This was Crowley the journalist, unlike the pro-Obama advocate who moderated Tuesday’s debate between Obama and Mitt Romney and interjected herself into an argument between Obama and Romney on the exact same issue — and took Obama’s side.

 

During the debate, Crowley affirmed ObamaÂ’s assertion that he referred to the Benghazi attacks as acts of terror on the day after...

 

See, she was      FOR Mitt Romney's truthfulness before she was against it.

Why is the 'binder of women' even a thing? "Oh no, Mitt has a Trapper Keeper full of resumes of qualified women! THE HORROR!!! He must want them to be his wives!!! Eleventy!!!"

 

Mitt had more women in senior positions in his cabinet than any other state when he was governor. Mitt talking about improving employment opportunities for women isn't  new. He's been talking about it since at least '94 when he debated Ted Kennedy. Here's a link to the video:

The New York audience was full of liberals and the questions picked where got you questions.... But Mitt actually answered most of the questions and Obama would blather on about all the great things he thinks he has done..... College is worthless if you can't get a job. No I am not expecting Apple to move all the factories back to America - unless they can bring the Chinese workers with them and pay them 50 cents an hour with no benefits..... It's hard to complete with a command & control economy. Obama is trying to make America into a command & control economy. Can you imagine Americans working in slave like conditions - 12 hours a day for next to nothing??? They won't - and the Chinese people won't work likes slaves forever. Eventually iPhones will cost $1000 and people will still buy them.

==========
The Ruth Bater Ginsburg look-alike in the Luntz group absolutely loved it, too. She got it; that her retirement--beat to shit the last few years--would go a lot farther that way.

Romney did two huge things last night that the JEF Team slapping themselves on the back will totally miss:
1) He made a huge play for seniors--telling them he's going to eliminate the taxes on their retirement income.
2) He made a huge play for Hispanics--a) told them how Obama promised them immigration reform in the first year, b) reminded them his grandfather was born in Mexico, and c) let them know he has a realistic plan to deal with immigration. In fact, I think he spent way too much time on what seems to be a minor topic.

But:

FL, CO, NM--all large Hispanic population swing states. I think Romney just told us his internals say NM is in play.

Who's playing long-ball, swinging for the fences--who's on defense, hoping not to get hit in the face again?

Fymynysts don't compare "the same jobs" when they whine about "wage inequality".   The engineers (mostly male) make more than the on-site daycare workers (mostly female), so voila: the company is engaging in unfair wage inequality.

Here he is in the Loyola tape: “The vast majority of Americans would like to see serious gun control. It does not pass. Why does it not pass? It doesnÂ’t pass because there is this huge disconnect between what people think and what legislators think and are willing to act upon.” Obama believes Mexican druglords should have assault weapons, but not American citizens. Obama also said he viewed welfare recipients and “the working poor” as “a majority coalition” that could be mobilized to help advance progressive policies and elect their champions. “I actually believe in [wealth] redistribution,” Obama said.“At least at a certain level, to make sure that everybodyÂ’s got a shot.” “What I think will re-engage people in politics is if weÂ’re doing significant, serious policy work around what I will label the ‘working poor,’” he said, “although my definition of the working poor is not simply folks making minimum wage, but itÂ’s also families of four who are making $30,000 a year.” “They are struggling. And to the extent that we are doing research figuring out what kinds of government action would successfully make their lives better, we are then putting together a potential majority coalition to move those agendas forward.” Obama Will Make Energy Prices Necessarily Skyrocket http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTxGHn4sH4 Stephanopoulos asked Obama if he believed high gas prices were a good thing. http://youtu.be/5M1WlV7vafk "I would have prefered a gradual adjustment"

234 Libs are pissing in the wind right now. I think one is decided. Any state R is within 2-3 points on 11/3-11/5 he wins, since he will take the majority of the 5-6% undecided voters.

235 I'm  a  rational thinker, so sometimes I don't get things.  Like why are people so interested in alternative energy?  I guess I'm interested in them to from an curiousity standpoint and  think  its neat engineering to harness  forces on earth to develop energy.  I just don't want to pay for it.  If GE or  Exxon wants to research it so that if  and  when (and I doubt there will ever be  a  when), they can benefit from it, by all means do it.  But why are we throwing tax dollars at it.  Why  do people fall for it.  Maybe I'm just too rational.  I would have loved for Mitt to say that his energy policy is oil and gas, coal and nuclear.   That other stuff is pie in the sky.   Perhaps  he should have said that  wind  turbines  kill far more birds that then 20 that the administration was trying to save in ND.  

236 Radish, I saw on twitter (LilMissRightie, I think) that single women under 35 actually make more than single men under 35.

Yeah, I probably retweeted that.  Not sure if that's controlling for education and job description or not?  The whole thing where young women are encouraged to go to college and then get hiring preference is probably at play, though....

yes, for college-educated persons ( which makes for the most accurate numbers /  studies), women 22-34 without children ( married or unmarried ) make more than men in that age group.

Women with children make less than men ; ( having children or not does not significantly affect college-educated men ).

No presidential campaign in modern American history (post-ww2) has ever given this little information about their future plans. I'm glad Mitt has forced the Benghazi and FF issues. But in all seriousness, this is utterly surreal. The sitting incumbent has said nothing about what he plans to do. At all. Besides raise taxes. How is this possible?

241 I agree totally with your recap, Drew. Tactical draw but strategic opportunity. If we can keep the heat on about Benghazi, we can turn Crowley's despicable interference then, against Obama now.

One of the comments that the God-that-Chooms made that hasn't been getting any notice was when he said something along the lines that the policies of the last 2 decades  were  what damaged the U.S. economy (besides reiterating, "it's not my fault!!!").  I know math isn't Barky's strong suit, but that puts us in the 1990s when the economy was doing  well.  Obama realized he f*cked up, because he later talked about how great the Clinton years were.

 

By the end of the debate, the SCOAMF sure lurved himself some private enterprize.  Too bad actions speak louder than words.

268

Methinks we  (I  use that term losely.  A  few on this board have expressed some concern - not me)  overly worry about stealing national elections too.  For local contests and statewide contests it is much easier.  For  50  statewide local contests it is less easy.  This is particularly true when the other side is prepared and will not conceded lightly.  Bush v. Gore.  Bush was not only prepared, but he did not concede.  Mitt wants to be president really  bad.  That is a good and bad thing.  In this case,  it is good.   He is not going to go down easily  if there is reason to believe that the other side is playing shannigans.  And if this election is the rout  I believe it will be, then shannigans  can't  overcome for that.

As much as I hate the Left (I hate them probably more than they hate the Right), I don't think "lies" is the proper term for what Obama and every other Leftist does, at least not all the time.

It's that they live in a bubble created by the affluence of Western civilization and mistake what they do in the furtherance of their ideology within the confines of that bubble as the things that sustain that civilization, when really they are orthogonal to that civilization altogether. The Left is NOT part of Western civilization, any more than the Chinese are.

It's as if domestic animals suddenly were to think that it was them who created human civilization and they demanded on that basis that their interpretation of reality be respected. Even deigning to listen to the Left as if they are actual people is to let the inmates run the asylum. I haven't taken a single statement by a lefty seriously in decades. They can be annoying, but only in the same way that a mosquito or similar pest is annoying, for their actions, not for their ability to actually provide a rational critique of my philosophical positions, which is something I would no more expect from a lefty than I would expect it from a domestic animal.

The Left in the West lives in a womb-like existence created and sustained by people who are not of the Left. It's not that they "lie" per se, it's that the distance Western civilization has momentarily created from reality has never forced them to come to terms with itself and they, collectively, don't have the initiative to do it on their own. So, they lash out with pseudo-intellectual ideologies like Marxism or other forms of victimology to rationalize their own failures.

That's not to say that Obama didn't lie and the main place where he really did lie is when he responded to the accusation about Bengazhi. The irony is that Romney's reaction is the proof Obama lied. Romney reacted like a person who knows something is true but is told it isn't true and having Crowley initially back up Obama's assertion momentarily provided social proof to Obama's lie. Romney's reaction at that moment is how people react to real lies, not the ginned-up version of "lie" which is, at base, a differing of perceptions from those on the Left and those on the non-Left.

314 I was pondering the whole debate thing this morning. The point of the debates is, supposedly, to provide the American public with information about the positions of the candidates. That is actually a helpful and worthy goal. The only way that could be accomplished is through an actual debate process, you know, where each side is asked difficult questions and where each person is given the opportunity to respond without being interrupted. That's simply not possible in the current format. I know many, including me, are upset that the RNC agrees to these debates given how ridiculous they are. But what's the alternative? Like it or not, many many people still rely on the networks, including the "news" networks, for information. Saying no our candidate won't go to a debate there comes across as petulant and as if the candidate is running from the debate. So what are some realistic alternatives? I know there was a suggestion that there be two questioners, one from the Right and one from the Left, and I do think that is at least a start.

323 I shock collar for the moderator too. There would have been a lot of fried pork on the stage last night Posted by: TheQuietMan at October 17, 2012 12:03 PM (1Jaio) Like some one dumped a bag of Pork Skins on the stage. Romney crushing them underfoot like Godzilla through Tokyo.

God, I'm sick of the "women earn less than men" rubbish. The only valid comparison is between individuals in the same position with the same experience in positions that have a set payscale. I can't believe that that actually happens in this litigious era.

 

Otherwise, I don't want to hear about pay differences when the complainer is comparing individuals who differ in:

 

1. Experience/seniority. In most non-physical jobs, more experience makes an employee more valuable. Take time off to have kids? Great (really). But that is at a cost in experience on the job.

 

2. Negotiating skills. If your pay is not set by a payscale, and you get less than someone else you consider equivalent, then you need to work on your negotiating skills, and stop whining to the government;

 

3. Expertise/training. Sure, more women than men now graduate from college, but let's face it, there's a limit to the number of Womyn's Studies majors demanded by the economy (the upper limit being 0). To compare an English or Womyn's Studies major with an engineering major is nonsense.

 

I suspect that that "72%" crap comes from all men in the workforce compared to all women in the workforce, in which case these gals need to learn about weighted averages. That would be in the math department. They can ask an engineer where that would be.

 

And I get particularly incensed by the "equivalent work" crap, where women sitting in an air-conditioned office typing consider their job "equivalent" to something like high steel work, lumberjacks, electrical linemen, or even guys on the loading dock. How many clerks get killed on the job? And ultimately, if they think the jobs are equivalent, quit the office job and take the other one. They're equivalent, right? /rant

325 We could put shock collars on them and give the moderator the button. Moderator says "next" one time and them ZAP. Ahem. Me with a tazer. C'mon, it would be awesome.

326 I can tell from the troll invasion that 0bama has 'fired up the base'.

Unfortunately, half the base has now grabbed their crack pipes and is now firing up the base themselves. Then getting online.

329 yeah, poll results with no link, no MOE, no partisan sampling breakdown....


sure, those are valid.

 Most def.  Backlit silhouette onto a screen from an  elevated position, like the "banker" in  the TV Deal/No Deal game.  Bonus would be a surprise twist of a paintball sniper unleashing rounds at the moderator for interjecting itself into the debate.

332 gotta agree with rush today.. while mitt didnt hammer the libya issue like he could have,, he didnt lose a single vote last night , in fact gained ground. krauthammer and his ilk are so damned worried about perception. if i say it was close ,, they wont think im extreme.  it wernt close fuckers.

334 Go away, Rupert. Your mommy is waiting for your special alone time.

335 See ya round the funway, You Pathetic Load Of (Delusional, Irrelevant) Communal Horse Cum.

336

that chick from Star Trek went on to make porno flicks.

 

Really?  Fuck, why couldn't it have been Diana Muldaur or Kirstie Alley (during her Lt Saavik days)?

337 Why is Rupert so obsessed with horse semen? His daddy must be well hung.

338 Romney is trying to eat into the [now modest] lead Obama has amongst women.  While true, the fact that Obama doesn't walk the walk with his own staff as regards pay issues is not important to what Romney did on the pay equity subject. 

Mitt offered a talking point that immediately connects with women/families with the flex schedule thing.  It sounds great, is is something big companies are already doing, and it is specific and responsive to ordinary people's concerns, which cuts into the meme that Romney "doesn't understand ordinary people."

Further, he went into a practical discussion of what he had already done with his MA staff.  Libs are having some juvenile fun with the "binders of women" malapropism, but that's because they have nothing else from this question to hang on to.  Digging any further into this issue for libs will only open them up to a compare-contrast on Obama's pay equity issues.

Obama, by contrast, went on and one about a legal case that is remote from the practical experience of most people.  He was "Dingle-Norwooding" himself on an issue where he should be stronger.  He came off as remote and "inside the Beltway" on pay equity.

This question was a win for Romney on several levels.  Being tit-for-tat on the WH pay equity issue would have only muddied the water.

339 Well, then, Kelley, it's time to educate those vapid "low info voters", innit? Making them care is a tall order, no doubt, but it's certainly something that Zero is trying desperately to hide....for good reason.

340 Dick Cheney needs to be on the debate commission .

341 it wernt horse cum

342 Or Rupert. He's clearly a master debater.

343 I know many, including me, are upset that the RNC agrees to these debates given how ridiculous they are. But what's the alternative? The same thing that would fix everything wrong with the world: Force the courts to accept "he broke an oath" as an affirmative defense against battery or homicide charges.

I was thinking more this, but with a tazer.

 

No, no - riding crop, if you please.

 

Oh, wait - you were talking about using it on the moderator, weren't you?  Carry on, then.

345 #220  Many states have implemented voter ID,  including my state (Indiana) and Pennsylvania.

There is still the possibility of fraud,  but the states in which they can make a difference are fewer in number.  Also,  many of the states in which they practice fraud (like Illinois) are already Obama states so they will only be cheating in local races.  

In addition,  some cities which used to be factors in pumping extra votes in order to swing states to the democrat side are shrinking.  Detroit is an example of that.

Romney is aware of fraud possibilities and has attorneys lined up.  However,  if we get as many voters to the polls as possible we can overcome the fraudulent numbers.

346 Royal Oil (100),

Thanks for the clarification.

347    the G O P  is  garbage - lying scummy filthy shit   qand they  lie and cheat the population -  they are scum

348 I think Romney's equal pay for women was one of his most memorable answers. The goal in this election is to be seen as human, not the monster Obama portrays. Romney succeeded when he talked about his record hiring women and improving the economy in Massachussetts.

349 How many plants were at the debate last night? I counted 2. 1. The Susan Katz lady that asked the George W. Bush question who came all the way from Baltimore to be at this place. 2. AK-47 lady was a plant since she's a registered Democrat in an audience of "Undecided" dunces. http://tinyurl.com/8lrykeq Anymore?

350 @352 Good joke! Apparently I slept through 8 years of hearing that when Bush was president.

351 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
