Lol, I know this is a broken record at this point but who the hell is running that campaign? Do they want to know why Obama is and has been beating them for so long? Its not just the economy/incumbency, its the fact that Obama through his faults and pros has been consistent with his messaging since before even taking office and taking the brunt force of all the cons associated with his plans and not wavering just because his notion is down for a day or two in the public opinion. You are supposed to take a positive performance and run with it on lock down, not waver at the first opportunity you get just because of one audience. I hate Mitt and would never vote for him, but even I can see missed opportunities to do a better job, I can't imagine how infuriating it must be on the right to see him flop around like this with absolutely zero focus.

I see that Obama's Nation of Islam thugs have already crashed WeAskAmerica website
If Romney wins like this I will lose faith in America.

It was a handkerchief. He put it on the lectern so he wasn't fumbling for it during the debate if he needed it. I refuse to believe Romney (and his campaign) would be that incompetent.

As soon as I saw the unemployment numbers I immediately knew the paranoid conspiracy theories would start flying. I didn't expect them to come from such a figure though.
So now we have:
Birthers
Magic rape contraception believers
Climate change denialists
Saddam had stockpiles of WMDs believers
Obama is a secret Muslim truthers
Poll 'unskewers'
Obama is gay truthers
jobs number truthers
Bill Maher is right, a large subset of the right lives in an entire alternate universe of crazy.

Running for president in today's Republican party is literally the easiest thing in the world. Just lie with a smile and spout some of the most crazy shit you can think of, and you're on your way to being a major player within the party. I know politicians lie all of the time, but at least they'd utilize twisted facts and half truths, not bold faced lies 100% of the time.
That's my thought as well but I never put a handkerchief in my pants pocket when I wear a jacket.

It was something I immediately noticed when watching the debate. I just assumed notes were allowed.
Oh man ouch. He needs to run with this, and all the surrogates this weekend need to, also if the debate comes up.
Sounds about right.

An interesting theory was brought up during my PS class. Basically, if the vast majority of politicians were actually honest, they could have more control and power than they actually realized.

Obama is gay?
Nah, he's going to continue his racist bullshit on Obama not acting "black" enough, about how we need Samuel L. Jackson and not Brian Gumble in the white house. Suggesting that angriness and assertiveness are some how black qualities, while being respectful, nice and passive are inherent within whiteness is so fucking offensive. I want to punch him in the face every time he says it.
According to those guys he had a secret gay lover. He was married in Indonesia to a boy when he was younger.
Los Avocado Del Diablo:
Romney flipflops are getting plenty of media attention - that's why everyone knows about them. The only difference is in the tone of the comments from the proxies - the repubs were BRUTAL on Kerry and it was organized and built largely on exaggerated or wholesale invented nonsense, so the media simply repeated their claims.
Romney on the other hand is literally doing what they claimed Kerry did, almost every single day and the media is actually calling him out on it every now and then. But it is a stark reminder of the level of difference in factual reality between the two parties.

Romney just delivered the "real" unemployment rate line and he stated that the unemployement rate dropped because more people stopped looking for work.
The balls...

He didn't get trounced among people who know better, and that's why the debate is having no effect. He won with the people who were gonna vote for him anyway.
Yeah- there was a scoop on Neogaf a few days ago about how his wife is so cold towards him and there's no passion there anymore. No wonder he has to go find love elsewhere.

The people who know better already know who they're going to vote for, no? I think you underestimate how poorly informed "undecideds" generally are. Presidential debates aren't substantive policy discussions they're public arguments. Obama lost. Jay-Z lost.
They are just friends now. The Obama's did a few swaps with the Clintons back in the day, Baracks kids are really Bills and he's been in love with Hil ever since.

Americans are only .1% better off than they were four years ago? What an inspiring message
The only undecided people in the entire country are those in medically-induced comas. This race is all about turnout.
It took you damn near 4 hours to come up with that? Damn. Pack it up. See you guys in four years.

Isn't it literally the opposite? He's just latching on this lie and hope no one calls you out on it. And his quote about more jobs last month. Thats only with the revision. He really doesn't give a crap about misleading everyone
I wouldn't say it like that, most of his supporters don't think he 'won' the debate, but it also was a debate that wasn't going to persuade anyone to change their vote. Obama being passive left no opportunities for Obama to offend people, left no controversial statement to get skewered several days later, an invisible candidate that has already shown himself plenty visibly in the last 4+ years that people didn't need to know where he stood, people wanted to know how Romney stacked up and despite winning the 'debate' he really didn't make a case for himself that he had any new ideas or choice that could counter Obama's ideas and choices leading into the debate. He won the news cycle but lacking concrete focus by lying and muddying his own messages from before debate is doing him no favors.

That's a better comeback than anything Romney's camp has been able to come up with.
It's based on fact too.
