Really? Honestly?
First Debate: Romney 100% Obama 0
This one, Romney won.. but Obama got too many unanswered zingers in there (because Obama flails all over, NEVER stays on topic, and so Romney can’t respond to all his absurd accusations). So, no, Romney didn’t ‘destroy’ him.
Next one: Romney better let all his natural decency to the side and attack Obama. Fight Dirty.
Think!
The hit was 75-25 Romney. Obama got crushed. These were Obama Voters last time.
Candy the biased liberal knowingly lied to 70 million Americans. now says oops did I do that. Obvious liberal propagandist as are all reporters
“Well ya know, my grandmother was impoverished...blah blah blah.”
Yeah... I heard him say that she was VP of a BANK, and (to prove the impoverished implication) that he was sure she was paid much less than a man would be.
Another lie, on top of a lie.
I saw the Tigers game instead. It was probably a good thing for my blood pressure. I have to ask. Did Candy Crowley suck as bad as I’ve been hearing? It sounded like it was so bad that if Obama was straight, I’d have to question what’s going on. That’s how bad of job of moderating it sounds like she did. I didn’t see it, but it wouldn’t shock me in the least.
Playing backseat driver I was thinking :
“Look Mr POTUS, the reason why you made up the story about the youtube riot is because you had already claimed that Bin Laden’s death made these diplomats safer and now they are dead due to your incompetence. “
Still got one more debate for Romney to GO in for the kill.
My favorite...”I was raised by a single mother”
ummmmm.....no. Not true.
But don’t you know all the trolls here say Romney didn’t do so good, they sound like CNN and MSNBC lol.
I thought she did well. Obama, when answering, would just throw random accusations out, so if it was not Romney’s turn then these claims were unrebutted. What was she supposed to do?
Next turn went to Romney and he could waste the time, there was already a new topic to address.
Yeah Romney destroyed the Muslim Communist Obama. too bad you don’t like that.
Does anyone have a screenshot or link to Obama’s sneer when Romney brought up Fast and Furious gun program? I thought it was the angriest look I have seen on a candidate’s face during a debate.
I agree with the consensus that the moderator was a horror show. She frequently let Obama get the last word in. It was Romney or Obama getting the question, one responds, and Obama gets the last word, happened on almost every question.
Many of the questions were layups for Obama. On the Benghazi question, I don’t see how the mainstream media can label this as a major missed opportunity by Romney, sure he could have attacked it stronger but he got in some major points on it and his time once again was cut short, you had Obama looking weak, begging Candy to stop the discussion and you can basically now cut an ad showing Obama lying about what he said on September 12.
I also thought that in many of the mano a mano exchanges Romney came across stronger than Obama.
I was not sure whether it was an accident, or Luntz had some purpose in stacking the jury, or what.
Well just minutes ago the same focus group about 3/4 of them said they are now voting for Romney after this debate. That is a flip of 1/2. That is much more informative than a sample of Rush 24/7 members as some seem to want to poll.
Interesting. I wonder if Luntz knew what was going to happen. We don't know if Luntz gave them some "things to think about" before viewing the debate.
When he mentions his commie grandmommy, my hackles raise.
She and her Marxist fiend husband created this beast, along with “Uncle Frank’s” help and I’m supposed to care about how “she struggled”?
I’d be thrilled to be making a “female banker manager rate salary” right now.
I don’t even feel pity that she conveniently/suddenly “dropped dead” right after he visited her before the election.
[those darn loose ends, you know]
I simply do not understand how half of America -willfully- blinds itself to reality.
I may not like reality over much sometimes but I sure hell won’t deny it exists.
Half this country is sitting around waiting on some stupid Utopia that will simply *never* happen.
Well, he was kinda sorta raised by her *singularly* very briefly before being thrown to his grandparents while she went off to persue her career of serial boinking.
It’s got to be difficult because Mitt wants to respond to the BS but then that eats his time with the current question. And the BS does not stop.

The media creates a false reality so that’s why so many voted for this Obama and why the government has grown every year for the past 100 years.
Your heroine has admitted she lied for the Kenyan....
And I think Ryan let a few obvious missiles through and I think those Luntz focus group member comments I reposted were accurate.
Examples : Ryan on his letter begging for stimulus funding for his district AND his promising us congress will make sure cutting tax rates will not add deficits.
I watch the exact same media.
IMO, the only reason the freak is in the WH was to assuage/alleviate liberal guilt.
I don’t have any of that mythical “guilt” so maybe that’s why I’m immune to their false narratives.
Greta van Susterin had an interesting theory: If Romney had been smoother/more convincing on this point, it might be just one more item that the audience might or might not remember. But by stumbling somewhat, Romney ensured that all the talk shows are going to keep talking about the Obama administration's bizarre comments about the Benghazi attack (not to mention that he went to a Vegas fundraiser the same day as the attack). And Obama would probably like to avoid those subjects.
