They had a 92 year old woman on TV who said she'd be voting for Romney because she still has medical bills and nothing has changed and she wanted to give Romney a shot. That being said, it's NY so her vote doesn't matter but how come people are that stupid? Does she want MORE medical bills?

And people wonder where Mitt Romney is getting his votes from. Here's your answer.

listen to the mad man
Nah Obama would be the conservative in most of the european countries but being open to change for the people. Never saw a debate about so fucking outdated topics like abortion or discussions about a candidate being not christian.

Europe actually has a country where abortion is illegal across the board. North America does not.

Europe actually has a country that bans the construction of new mosques "minarets" *wink wink*; North America might not be politically friendly to Muslims, but we don't have anything like that.

Please don't thumb down your nose unless you're entirely sure of what you're saying.
 
Well, Obama wrapped that shit up and put a bow on it. So much for the right wing hail mary.

Just think... Romney is the best the Republicans could come up with. Seriously, how sad is that? Zero charisma and absolutely no strength of character. He's a combination of all the worst political tropes someone could come up with. Just a wet noodle of a human being.

this guy on the larry king stream, is really sucking romneys balls. Goddamn kid stop it, you gonna choke on them.
 
Seriously get on CSPAN right now. Listen to these people.

It's like they have a special Batphone, only it's more like the Powerpuff Girls' phone because the people on the other end have the mental capacity of children.

Sorry, cable provider changed the channel for CSPAN; will change to it in a sec. Has the token libertarian complaining about the lack of Gary Johnson shown up yet?

lol awesome



FOX is terribly right (which people on the right say they're unbiased)
MSNBC is the FOX equivalent on the left (which people on the left say they're unbiased)
Most other news outlets will lean left, but that's because the type of person who typically goes into journalism is probably going to hold values closer to the left, not because CBS producers or whoever wake up and say "Let's spin the news to what I want people to believe!" the way FOX or MSNBC do

Wrong. MSNBC is clearly liberally-biased (even liberals will tell you that), but not to same degree that FOX is to the right.

I will say that it is not for lack of trying, but mostly because they cannot seem to get their shit together as well as FOX does.

You know a repub i know once said the liberals are more the 'hope floats' generation but Romney has been the king of optimistic bullshit pouring out of his ass. Yes everything will be fixed, i think you've said that a thousand times now thanks. Pretty sure people are realizing it takes actual smart people with plans to run a country.


I for one want my President to be smarter than me.

So, has the race really been tightening, or is that made up? I honestly don't follow politics a ton, unfortunately.

After the first debate the race tightened extremely rapidly.

By the VP debate (and possibly because of it) things flatlined, with Romney having a slight lead nationally (1-2%) and obama having a lead in the Electoral college. Since the second debate, the national polls have come to a dead heat, and Obama's Electoral college lead remains (In large part due to a persistant lead in Ohio). Obama remains a 2-1 favorite to win (though that doesn't mean he's a lock, just that he wins 66% of the time)

are both really good places to go to follow.

I am pleased to see you calling out him for thinking about the "made up" "GAF-hivemind" it is refreshing that you set aside politics to call him out on his dishonesty.

I don't know if he's being "dishonest." He could actually think Romney's going to win. I just think he's wrong.
 
I missed the first part of the debate and will catch it on the replay, but, obviously, Bams won on foreign policy. The problem is that Romney still did well when things shifted to the economy except he got destroyed on China. Again Bams wins hands down when it comes to foreign policy, but the blah, blah, we need more science and math teachers is not something that is going to move undecided voters on the economy.

Also, Obama's Bin Laden. FFS is it that hard not to call the POTUS Obama Bin Laden? I know you work for Fox, but come on Bob.

Outside of Candy, this debate season has seemed like a Rolling Stones farewell tour for the moderators. I can't tell whether Jim or Bob were holding their hands up to moderate the debates or were asking permission to tinkle. Get some new blood in there. Obama's Bin Laden? Are you fucking kidding me?

Hipster Romney: But I liked it before you knew it was cool. And I like it more than you.

I am the fucking leader of liking it. I know. I have 25 years in the world of liking it. I have a five point plan to like it.

Go to my website.


Lincoln won. Again.

It's the awesome beard.

I love watching FNC after these. They get a "focus group" together to talk about the debate... I swear they picked these people up in the darkest corners of walmart where even larry the cable guy fears to venture.

Ari doesn't think debates matter....except for the 1st one of course. "One of the most powerful debate performances in American history"

What a fucking tool.

This guy on CNN is an absolute dumb ass and like so many conservatives, in a reality distortion field. The election was set in motion after the first debate? Lol. Guarantee the 2nd and 3rd debates impacted too. Heck even CNN admitted as much based on their crowd of undecided voters.
 
And he would probably be considered as a conservative/right-wing candidate, wouldn't he?
He would be centre-right on economic issues, still obviously liberal on most social issues. So about par for the course in most European nations... which is why he gets on pretty well with European leaders.

Whereas Mitt Romney is the laughing stock of the Conservatives in the UK, who should have been his most receptive audience.

I love the idea that Obama is behind. Just makes Democrats fight harder.

CNN waiting on polls from everyone else to agree with

CNN saying 48 Obama 40 Romney
 
Candy: Who won the debate?

CNN dude: I will admit Obama won on points but it's not about who won the debate!

Points? What's a debate KO look like? If one of the candidates suddenly collapsed and started foaming at the mouth? Or is it something like what happens in a Phoenix Wright game?
