Yeah, he did. He looked mean and nasty. Romney looked poised and presidential.

The UK telegraph and other UK rags like the Daily Mail have been heavily conservative, even if you include the tabloid trash.

The only anti-American, leftie UK newspaper known to Freepers is the Guardian UK. The idiot editors of that paper even physically tried to “arrest” Dick Cheney while in the UK..

One thing you shoud remember, it does not make a nickel’s worth of difference who is elected.

I especially liked the use of the word "nickel." "Dime" is so overused.

Romney won. Obama was clearly trying to Alinsky polarize or bait him.

The President came across demented. The US is badly served with a demented President.

Four more years of President “ships that have planes land on them” is not survivable.

Obama needs to eat the lithium, not to be ranting about batteries.

One thing you shoud remember, it does not make a nickel’s worth of difference who is elected. Our country is so in debt, we cannot even pay the interest on the debt. Our only solution according to the PTB is to print more worthless money. Every dollar they print devalues the dollars you have in your wallet. The day of reckoning will come no matter who is elected.


True as far as it goes.

Obama has pretty much engineered a fiscal crisis that is going to hit early in the next Presidential term. There will be a lot of hard choices that will need to be made.

Not much we can do about that, unfortunately.

In Romney we have a very pragmatic man who knows how run things and turn them around. with Romney the pain from the crisis will be less severe and the recovery time will be shorter and we will come out the other side as a leaner, more efficient and very wised up but still free America

With Obama the fiscal crisis will be used to ram Obama’s Left Wing, Marxist agenda down our throats

The next election is not about avoiding a fiscal crisis, we are already in one we just don’t feel it because we are borrowing from the future like crazy to float the system. We will feel the pain when we run out of borrowing capability and have to have the terrible reality that in 2009 when Obama took office we were in a bad economy and had a large national debt, as Obama leaves office we are in an even worse economy and the government is close to bankruptcy.

If we keep spending we collapse our currency we have huge amount of people out of work, no hope for a job and no money left to pay for the safety net

If we stop spending we have huge amount of people out of work, no hope for a job and no money left to pay for the safety net but our currency may not collapse

Not a whole lot of difference really.

This election is really about what the country looks like after the crisis. The choice is America as we know it if we elect Romney or the Fundamentally Changed America of Obama’s Marxist vision if we don't

The only thing I learned from this debate is that Bob Scheiffer needs to retire.

I think my dad paid $1750 or so for his seeblau '64.

To the unwashed O could have made a lot of points had he not resorted to petulance. But he instead contrasted himself to Romney.

For two debates Romney came out fighting. In this third debate I was taken aback at how different his tone was. But in retrospect I think he just rope-a-doped Obama to hurt himself with two key groups: women and undecideds. We’ll see.

I look at Obama’s eyes in these things and all I see the look of a ball lost in tall grass.

And that his pupils are dialated.

I was unable to watch debate- therefore had to wait for transcript. I think Romney won debate near the end when he laid out 5 steps for economic recovery and tied it to foreign policy. Obama had no sensible rebuttal, moderator tried to steer answer back to foreign policy and Romney continued to make his point.

This may not have been as apparent in live version as Obama and mod kept interrupting.

I read full transcript on link from npr that poster put up about 4 hrs past FR-

He was really giving Romney some super odd looks. Somewhere between mad and mocking, and yet mostly just goofy looking smirks.

How much of it was real and how much was second-rate method acting on the fly is probably unknowable at this point, but he managed to look pretty small regardless.

Agreed - we were commenting on Facebook about that very thing. It was a great strategy and apparent to us while watching.

I thought the “horses and bayonets” was lame. And Obama looked like he couldn’t treat his opponent with respect.

My Son-in-Law was in the Old Guard and participated in many a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. I'm damn glad he wasn't listening to the debate, and didn't hear Obama say that.

A brilliant summary and frighteningly prophetic IMHO.
