Really doesnt matter he is going no where.

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!!!!

[jwalsh07]

McCain gives good answer on unions.

“No disrespect to the DuncanDonuts, but in the face of REALITY:
Duncan Who?”

Ok... this is a live thread to discuss the debate, not post juvenile pictures over and over and over. If you aren’t going to discuss the debate, maybe you should stop spamming the thread.

That’s what Fred said. He said linking it to inflation would buy a little breathing room to plan a real solution.

[Pistolshot]

Just inquiring about your emotional stability. If it was personal, I’d get suspended for it.

Spam spam spam

Try commenting on the debate instead of picture spam.

[A_Tradition_Continues]

Fred seems to have a much better grasp of the facts.

Facts normally don't have the razzle and dazzle of political campaign speak. Some here on FR think you have to put on a broadway musical to make a statement.

[Kevmo]

You’re up, hypocrite boy.

[The Pack Knight]

Open your mind.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Must be the hair uh? Chicks dig the hair! :)

Sure. That's it. (/sar)

>>>...you see it but just refuse to see it.<<<

I see Romney standing eyeball to eyeball with any world leader, smiling, listening, and then doing exactly what is best for America and American values. I love his smile, believe it is sincere, and he cain’t he’p being good-looking. It is the inner man that I like.

[padre35]

Paul did, Mitt did as did Fred.

Jules is rambling.

[airborne]

Crissy is once again ignoring Hunter.

Asking Rudy to sing. Pathetic.

[jwalsh07]

Good answer by Fred on the union thing as well.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Very stable. How’s yours? Go watch the debate. Having trouble with the purpose of this thread?

[traditional1]

I wasn't the one who used BOLD TYPE to attack the only common sense electable candidate I'm looking at.

You need to lighten up.

[SHEENA26]

Yes, Romney is great in this debate!

[CAluvdubya]

So are you a truther, like RP?

[Brices Crossroads]

I think Fred has done very well in this debate. Some of the other, especially Romney, have stepped in it in a major way. But the debates do not decide elections. The fact that you think he is zip and nada means very little, especially when you cite no objective facts to back it up.
