— Ace

In the press room, separate from the debate floor, the press broke out in applause when Obama "zinged" (?) Romney by stating that Romney's was "bigger than mine."

18 A US ambassador dead. Also dead an Information Officer--ex AF, two ex SEALs who run over to hold down the fort until more help arrives. Eight military members scramble for a rescue from Tripoli but have to charter a plane because Ambassador Steven's request for a plane was denied --and a military rescue of more vetoed by Obama , Hillary and an unnamed national security advisor. And the President of United States is at the debate doing petty comedy while the Palace Guard applauds.

49 You guys know that right? Initially it was reported that an eight man team was scrambled . Later you find out Tripoli. Then you find out Ambassador Stevens foresaw a problem of covering the consulate in Benghazi with so few assets so he asked for I think a DC-3. That was denied. Then a foreign news source says more military were to be scrambled-but that was vetoed by an emergency meeting of Hillary, Obama and an unnamed national security officer. And he's up there making jokes while the slobbering idiots applaud.

Why should we want a man who took over an Olympics in shambles, grossly over budget, and was able to turn it into an undeniable success?

Why should we want a man who governed Mass. to 4 balanced budgets, job growth, and successful schools?

No, the choice is clear. Choom in 2012.

69 That was a cheap shot on Obama's part. Where he said Romney wanted to get rid of the capital gains tax for the middle class and Obama said that's the only tax romney pays. Not only did he totally misunderstand Romney's getting rid of the tax but later in a focus group a lady who voted for Obama the first time around and had decided tonight to vote for romney was real pissed at Obama because she said she could use that extra money and is glad he won't tax it. So Mr. petulant, let me get the snide jab in, lost another voter over that one.

70 "22 Obama seemed real defensive when pressed on his investments. Posted by: CDR M" Most people are too poorly informed to realize that their pension funds, mutual funds and individual stocks are all investments that deal with stuff liberals don't approve of. Shipping jobs overseas, Cayman Islands shenanigans, whatever. Romney knows enough about how things work in the real world, to know that Obama's invested is stuff liberals wouldn't like. It's like the rich liberals who blather about it being fair for rich people to pay higher taxes, then hand their finances over to slick sharks who will root around in the tax code to find ways for the rich liberals to avoid taxes.

Posted by: troof at October 16, 2012 09:54 PM (/YJYi)

79 This story you could have read on Sept 12th at CNN-- (CNN) -- A pro-al Qaeda group responsible for a previous armed assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is the chief suspect in Tuesday's attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, sources tracking militant Islamist groups in eastern Libya say. They also note that the attack immediately followed a call from al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri for revenge for the death in June of Abu Yahya al-Libi, a senior Libyan member of the terror group. The group suspected to be behind the assault -- the Imprisoned Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades -- first surfaced in May when it claimed responsibility for an attack on the International Red Cross office in Benghazi. The following month the group claimed responsibility for detonating an explosive device outside the U.S. Consulate and later released a video of that attack. Noman Benotman, once a leading member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and now based at the Quilliam Foundation in London told CNN, "An attack like this would likely have required preparation. This would not seem to be merely a protest which escalated." [...] The video released by the Brigades in June showed nighttime explosions around the consulate, interlaced with footage of Osama bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, along with images from the 9/11 attacks. At the time the Brigades claimed it had launched the attack in response to the first reports of al-Libi's death in a drone strike in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Notably, the Brigades said the June 5 attack was also timed to coincide with preparations for the arrival of a senior U.S. State Department official. "The time frame of attacks shows that the group has been following and actively involved in gathering information about the activities of diplomatic missions in the country," Benotman wrote in a June briefing paper on the group. He adds that it appears the Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades was also responsible for a rocket attack against the convoy of the British ambassador in Benghazi on June 11 and an attack against the Red Cross in Misrata on June 12.

His opponent has been preparing since the morning after the last debate.

No, we should elect the man who lets his brother live in a shack, and his alcoholic aunt live in a half way house. A man who, when asked for any kind of assistance, suggests the sign up for government programs. Choom-in-2012.

It's talking about those tax rates that Obama said should not be raised a couple of years ago because it would hurt the weak economy. An economy very much like today's economy.

"Even if the debate had been a draw the Libya exchange would win the next news cycle for Obama, it's going to be the lead in every major debate story broadcast between now and the next debate and Romney completely blunted his only real foreign policy opening."

"If the Libya exchange gets enough airtime it might really be Romney's Quayle moment. He basically walked clearly through the "asshole door" and Obama was clearly in the right treating him like a child whose behavior was offensive. "

I really, really think that the RNC and Romney should DEMAND and get Ms. Crowley to publically apologize at the beginning of the next debate and that the apology is shown on all the channels covering the debate. She stepped out of her neutral role, told a lie, and should be called on it. If she was neutral, she would have said, "let's look at the transcript later, in the mean time, next question."

If she does not want to apologize, the head of the debate commission should make the public apology in her place. CNN should consider whether she continues her employment.

The RNC can demand action. They can use her other interruptions and interferences, like in F and F questions, the applause lines, the disparity in the amount of time given to Romney in BOTH debates, Ryan's disparity in time allowed, etc. Hammer the debate commission, play hardball, let them know their cushy little jobs are in jeopardy. This kneecapping of the Republicans in the debates has to stop.

WHY? Set the standard and a Bright Red Line in the sand. Her behavior was inexcusable. The next clown will think twice before opening their yap. And if they do not stop, tell the debate commission they are out of luck and out of a job.

>>Highlights?

8 People. 4 Women. 4 Men (1 an African American Male).

Romney swung one Male (2008 Obama) Voter, Pulled at least 2 Females off the fence, too.

Obama retained one Male Voter.

Even after persuasion by MSNBC Host re: Women's 'Equal Pay', Romney won over the vast majority.

Decisive debate win for Romney 6 / 8.

176 Of supreme interest to me is the fact that here we have objective proof that Obama is a beta male (at best). It has been a fundamental of the interaction between males for the whole of human history to compete with one another, generally along the lines of: "Mine is bigger than yours!" Only in the current culture of liberalism would a man celebrate in a public arena that "his" is smaller than his opponents'.

Obama can no long rely on traditional Democrat vote fraud mechanisms in many areas without getting caught and turned in by disgruntled Dems.

OFA is too new and too young to have developed its own established methods of fraud and integrated them within the local political apparatus.

Vote fraud is a very very local thing. Its all those nice little old ladies and men who smile at you working the tables who facilitate it and turn a blind eye. They're not reliable anymore. An offer of say $500,000 rewards to fraud whistle blowers will have them turning each other in by the truckload if anyone tries to do anything.

I'm not even sure the party apparatchiks can tell who has gone soft. People who turn on Obama tend not to talk about it much unless they know they're in a safe environment.

Posted by: @PurpAv at October 16, 2012 11:42 PM (o4HGL)

225 @231 i guess that's a good point...it's not like in 2008 when it was a lot safer as even the folks who weren't super gung-ho for obama may not have been enthusiastic enough to blow the whistle on voter fraud. this year, people are so pissed off about tfg, his failures, and his refusal to take responsibilities, just the thought of him winning an election through fraud will be enough to send folks googling for the nearest hotline, i guess! i have to say, tho, in 2010, i knew a group of folks who was engaging in fraud and, knowing i had a male fiancÃ©, suspected i was probably as bitterly ignorant a partisan liberal as the actual gays are. the tried to recruit me, and i politely turned them down, with a mind to report them. the hotline i found was voice-only

and i don't really have any friends to tell, so i never followed up. that was in manhattan, tho, but still, there were folks out there cheating -- and smug as heck about it -- even in 2010! still, with the stories some commenters shared today about pretty liberal democrat acquaintances falling into the preference cascade, i think you probably have a good point about the fraud really only taking place in the kinds of obama-friend (d)-voting bastions that are gonna break for him anyway.

226 For some reason this exchange is the one that sticks in my mind. Obama repeated the lie that he values free enterprise and people who risk and succeed - except his true feelings came through in that snide remark. His vitriolic hatred of the "wealthy" was obvious. Obama is a douchebag liberal socialist - he's one of the 1% elite class but he foments all sorts of class hatred towards the "rich".

The only difference is that Romney actually earned his money the old fashioned way, whereas, John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, made his money by marrying Theresa. Funny how the reporters and Democrats never mentioned that Kerry was "out of touch" because he was rich, and there was not one peep about Kerry being unable to "connect with the average person." What a bunch of flippen B.S..
