"Look back at the questions that were asked. Pure set ups."

I'm surprised she even let the one on LIbya into the fray.

My two cents:

I intentionally watched the debate on CNN so I can watch the reaction graph among supposedly undecided Voters. It reminded me of a sporting event or the last time I watched a presidential debate with a good friend while bar hoping. We watched and cheered for positive words or statements according to the graph. It was surreal, say Iraq… say big business… etc.

Undecided voters, at least in the CNN group, are clueless.

Most of the time the graph was positive for both, with rare divergence between men and women, it went negative or neutral when either candidate directly attacked the other. And very negative when either confronted the moderator.

It suggests to me that those in the middle are not only clueless about the issues that face America, they react based on simple words without context. People that see, and only know what they hear, without any thoughtful consideration seem easily swayed and may hold our future in their hands. Like a trial when the last attorney that speaks gets the win, and we all cheer for choosing the champion.

There was no cynicism expressed. It was as if they all agreed with the one that was speaking at the time. Words. No context.

Sad state of affairs, for sure.

I will hold out hope that a younger generation that is steeped in cynicism will care to use the free resources that we built, to seek the truth.

Crowley did all she could to help the Fraud and only cut him off near the end because she has cut off Romney at least three or four times earlier in the debate.

The questions the bitch selected were the best she could pick for the Fraud. I have no doubt she leaked them to Axlerod and his thugs. Gun control, immigration, education and finally a question about Libya in the last 15 minutes, where she cut Romney off and allowed the Fraud to interrupt. They were hoping most people had turned it off by then. She bailed the Fraud out of his lies about Libya.

It was a disaster for Romney and hopefully most of the independents were watching The Yankees- Tigers game. The MSM will be ecstatic, “ the fighter Obama is back”, blah, blah, blah.

Romney got off to a strong start pointing out that The Fraud was lying about increasing oil and gas production on government land. But after that he sounded like a broken record - his 5 point plan, I know how to create jobs, 23 million out of work, 47 million on food stamps. Damn it man, we know that already.

Go after the Fraud for all the corruption, talk about the stimulus money being wasted, creating no jobs, just paying off democrap contributors, talk about abandoning European allies over missile defense systems, press the Fraud for who ordered Fast and Furious, does he know ? Ask him why we need all those unelected czars running things ? This was his chance to crush the Fraud and he blew it.

Romney was not prepared for the lie on Libya, that day after the attack the Fraud did not call the attack an act of terrorism, he mentioned the general category of acts of terrorism but did not label the attack as terrorism. He called it a protest out of control over a video. Romney should have had exactly what The Fraud said ready and corrected the Fraud and the bitch.

Romney didn’t even know his last answer was his closing two minutes. The bitch didn’t tell him. She let The Fraud lie throughout the entire debate and interrupt.

It was a disaster. At the end when Romney’s wife walked up on stage and he looked at her, you couldn’t help but see his disappointment. He’s a smart man, he realized he had be set up by Crowley and the entire Fraud’s team.

Once again the stupid GOP falls into another democrap trap, letting that fat bitch from CNN direct the debate in the Fraud’s favor. She selected the questions and gave The Fraud all the advantage she could. Romney was powerless to stop her when she decided she was going to ask follow up questions, something she said she would not. She was to read questions and keep them on the clock, that’s all.

A f* cking disaster for Romney.

Obama and his lies are hitting the wallet. He cannot defend it. People are having a hard go and Obama thinks they are doing well. The wash interpretation from the masses isn’t sitting well. This clown should be tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail.

I noticed somebody's comment was deleted by the moderator. I find that pretty funny since the majority of the people who tried to post on these debate threads were not able to because the servers wouldn't respond.

Why would you think that 'administrative functions' wouldn't get higher priority than 'standard user functions'?

What is the Luntz group saying? I know how I respond but I’m clueless as to how non-Freepers would see Obama in this debate.

I guess I should know that after almost 16 years here.

65 to 35 at worst. That is the liberal CBS. Hang it up, socialism has failed in our free nation.

Luntz’s panel just gave it to Romney going away. Luntz said Romney’s performance was as significant as Denver.

About 3/4 thought Romney won debate. They really seem to get it. Before the questions started more than half voted for Zero the last time.

Fox said their official figures show she gave Obama and extra 2 minutes to speak.

That was 2 minutes more of endless, circular logic and keyword phrases.

I still don't think it helped him at all, do you?
