Even though I don't like Romney, I think he's sort of right. Why doesn't the US focus on latin-american countries instead of China? Time-zone, language, travel would make it better/easier. It would also be cheap to produce, maybe not China cheap but still pretty cheap

Government stability. China is also very supportive of corporations.

Am I the only one who has noticed that Romney's "5 Points" have, over the course of these debates, morphed into pretty much what Obama's saying?

AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!
and education?

Romney

- Promote rights, dignity, enterprise and peace.
- End conflicts to the extent possible.
- To improve our influence we must be strong and we must lead.
- To do this we need a strong economy, and more jobs.
- Have to strengthen our military in the long term.
- Make decisions based upon uncertainty, will not cut military budget.
- Stay strong with our allies. Don't abandon them (i.e., removal of missles from Poland).
- Have an agenda for the future. Will create 12 million jobs and a rise in take home pay.
- 5 point plan: Energy independence (coal, oil and nuclear), increase trade (latin america), training programs, balanced budget (help entrepreneurs), and champion small business.
- This administration has made some of these issues worse.
- In Mass, 4th and 8th graders were number 1 on four measures. Bi-partisan effort. Still number 1 today.

Obama

- America needs to be the one indispensable nation.
- We have focussed on alliances that have been neglected for a decade.
- Unprecented cooperation with Israel.
- Need to start rebuilding America by creating jobs.
- Control our own energy. Need to develop non-renewable and renewables.
- Need to reduce our deficit. Romney's plan does not do this.
- Romney proposes wrong and reckless policies. Policies that have got us into this mess.
- Romney business policies in Mass. made his state 48th out of 50 in small businesses.
- We reformed education. Worked with 46 states. Schools are finally making progress. Will hire more math and science students. They will make a difference.
- Romney believes that more teachers will not make a difference with economy.
- Need to invest in education for a highly skilled workforce. Romney's slashes to education will weaken our economy.

Did Obama criticize Mittens for cutting spending, even though the testing results were still positive? How on Earth is that a bad thing?

Is the moderator fucking asleep? They were talking about domestic policy for ten minutes.

And it's not like they transitioned into it. It wasn't even relevant to the question.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Obama needs to get back to Foreign Policy to look less like he's bullshitting along with Mitt.
