Romney's Medicare plan could cost seniors $6,400 more? Half True. http://ow.ly/ecpvq #debate

Is Romney plan for future Medicare a voucher system? Mostly True. http://ow.ly/ecMuu #debate

Obama took $700 billion out of Medicare? Half True. http://ow.ly/ecyBF #debate

 

[phosphor112]

John McLaughlin should be moderator. He'd tear up Mitten's asshole.

 

[Wiz]

This is when things get good.

 

[TheNatural]

The amount of whining, complaining, and petty attacks on Romney in this thread affirms that he's winning the fuck out of this debate.

If you like loud, asshole rich guys, then I guess so.

 

[GSR]

 

[Arde5643]

Lolololol. Oh god, Romney getting killed over healthcare.

 

[gregor7777]

CNN.com has it:

Obama: 25min
Romney: 22min

Doesn't seem like it. That's kind of the point though.

If you like loud, asshole rich guys, then I guess so.

Well, right. But nonetheless, he's doing well here. It shouldn't be a surprise that loud, asshole rich guys are popular in this country. :/

 

[slightconfuse]

The x person came to me from y state is terrible

 

[WaltJay]

Oh here we go with "I meet a couple from blah blah blah and they are going to sell their kidneys because they can't afford health care..."

 

[Manmademan]

ENTITLEMENTS

Social Security

Both candidates agrees system is sound with "tweaks."

Medicare

Romney

- Vouchers to those who need. Idea is to give consumers
choice and increase competition. This will reduce costs/prices.
- Obama's plan will ruin health care sector as it unilaterally reduces rates
without encouraging competition.

Obama

- Reduce costs by creating high risk pools, appove more generics
etc.. I think everyone kinda knows what Obamacare is about.

You'd be wrong. average voter has no idea what the hell Obamacare does. This has been proven over, and over and over. They're in favor of the individual components, but against the program itself. There's too much disinformation.

 

[Amir0x]

"it comes from experience"

"Yeah, Romney, like your experience in Massachusetts where you did the same thing?"

 

[The Crimson Kid]

If Obama can't steamroll Romney on healthcare he should just walk off stage and cede the debate to Romney.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

CNN.com has it:

Obama: 25min
Romney: 22min

according to Fox Nation, Leher is interrupting only Romney and won't let him talk

If Obama can't steamroll Romney on healthcare he should just walk off stage and cede the debate to Romney.

Well said







DID ROMNEY JUST WHIP OUT DEATH PANELS?!!?

 

[Dabanton]

I'm glad that Jim was the first moderator as anyone following will make sure they don't get trampled all over.

 

[Kyon]

Going into Medicare?

YASS Obama get em

 

[Rentahamster]

lmao

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Oh god.

 

[Bsigg12]

Romney looks like he wants to start wailing and complain like a child.

Obama is just letting him talk all he wants cuz he sounds like an idiot

 

[pigeon]

Romney's really starting to drift here.

 

[astroturfing]

btw, why do people rag on Obama for the "uhhs" and "umms"? that's what a lot of people do when they're talking and actually thinking about what they're going to say. it's not a rare behavior among smart, thinking people.

 

[Lhexh]

Romney killing it.

 

[apana]

At this point I would prefer Fox News Moderators....Romney is winning just by forming sentences properly and on time. Obama got back on his game though, right now it is whatever.

 

[massoluk]

omg. that 700 billion again.

 

[Owzers]

716, time for you guys to drink. Glad i am not doing this.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Doesn'tcareaboutBigbird.jpg

*Cries*

 

[Y2Kev]

DEATH PANELS

 

[Hazaro]

716, 716, choice, expensive

Debate doesn't feel very structured.

*Oh my god Romney talked about what he did!

 

[Bowdz]

WE MOVE ON WHEN I SAY WE MOVE ON.

 

[ghostmind]

Romney throwing around imaginary numbers as fact again.

 

[Baconsammy]

Mitt has gone off the rails.

 

[aceface]

Oh god, smack him around on this stuff. The repeal Obamacare part of Mitt's platform is the worst thing he has.

 

[JCizzle]

Shut up old douche moderator, I bet you're poor too. I'M TALKING ANYWAYS

 

[Futureman]

Expensive things hurt families

 

[Raxus]

Romney is stepping into a minefield.

 

[Phoenix]

You liked it just fine as a governor.... call him on it.... DO IT!

 

[timetokill]

Did he just call it Obama Care?

GTFO.

Obama called it Obamacare too, and said he likes the sound of it. What now?

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Death panels shout-out!

 

[speculawyer]

nice.

 

[Maxim726X]

'I talked to this person... Then I talked to that person...'

Do these personal stories actually move people?

 

[ViperVisor]

So his positions on this have been:

I know about Obamacare I created it.
I will repeal it.
I will repeal some of it.
??????

 

[Patryn]

Nail him on RomneyCare. Seriously, DO IT.

 

[_woLf]

The problem is that Obama is talking too slowly when he talks, so it's taking longer for him to get his point across.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

They should have a button that can turn off their microphones.

 

[Agnostic]

The amount of whining, complaining, and petty attacks on Romney in this thread affirms that he's winning the fuck out of this debate.

It has been like this for a year on Gaf. Same as it ever was.

 

[Atramental]

BAMS!

SLAP HIS SHIT!

 

[Jintor]

btw, why do people rag on Obama for the "uhhs" and "umms"? that's what a lot of people do when they're talking and actually thinking about what they're going to say. it's not a rare behavior among smart, thinking people.

Eh, nevermind actual practice, it just doesn't appear cool.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Death panels? Are you fucking kidding me?!

 

[reilo]

btw, why do people rag on Obama for the "uhhs" and "umms"? that's what a lot of people do when they're talking and actually thinking about what they're going to say. it's not a rare behavior among smart, thinking people.

Because they expect our President to be an Aaron Sorkin caricature.

 

[Sirpopopop]

More people will pay attention to the debate than the fact checkers. That's the problem. He is lying his ass off, and Obama let him off the hook.

 

[Duffyside]

I wasn't sure if Romney was winning, but now that I see GAF still reacting with "woo hoo go Jim," I know that he is.
