Mitt has a lot of practice at being a bully.

It impossible to have a debate when the person you are debating is lying nonstop.

I think Jim Lehrer needs to rethink hosting these things. Unfortunately he looked his age, and just gave up at times. With Joe Biden up next, it would have been a train wreck if he hosted.

Romney could have repeatedly stabbed the moderator in a fit of explosive rage and flinging his own poo at the audience. You and your partisan cohorts still would have insisted he did “just fine.”

So how do you know that Willard is not lying to you Repuke suckers as well? You think you can trust someone who lies that casually just because you think they are on your side. You are just plain sad.

Mitt had no specifics…how can the states muster the resources to provide health care and support for their
poor? They can’t…it takes everybody’s resources pooled
er to do that…Mitt doesn’t understand that

I wouldn’t expect you to be able to recgnize a lie if it hit you in the face. Robme was the one lying, or at least distorting the truth beyond any recognition. And winning one debate is hardly basis for the narrative of this ’toon. Poll after Poll showed that robme sucks. President Obama beats him and Lyan in nearly every substantive fact-check analysis. But robme told every lie he thought would help him out, and the sheople bought it hook, line and stinker.

I think mitt understands that just fine. He, like all reTHUGlicans simply don’t care, unless it is they who are receiving the benefit in excess of what they paid in. Just like the “blue” states pay more to the federal government than they receive in benefits, the “red” states suck up way more in federal benefits and payments than they pay to the federal government in taxes. But this is okay because they are on the receiving end of the gravy train.
.
Like a guy I know, claims to be a libTARDarian but he’s right there for his medicaid and disability benefits. And NO he did not pay for those benefits, anything he paid into SocSec retirement he’s far exceeded in his disability benefits. But that’s okay, because he’s receiving them, but as a libTARDarian welfare, housing subsidies, any benefit to the poor, anything really besides grossly overcharged military expenditures are "unecessary government waste., until of course his disability and medicaid are cut off.

Pretty funny anyway.
.
The fact that Mitt will ultimately lose this debate because of his lies distortions contortions and general rudeness is beside the point that the cartoon is funny.
.
The thing was, he really seemed to like firing Jim Lehrer!
.
Mitt like firing people! He can’t wait to fire his insurance company when he’s sick and they don’t treat him like he wants to be treated… Good luck finding another insurer that will take you on and pay for that pre-existing condition Mitt!

Even if you took ALL the money from the top 1% of wage earners – not just their taxes, but ALL of their income – at the rate Obama is spending money, it would pay for his programs for 8 months. Then what would you do? We are borrowing money at an alarming rate. And 40 cents out of every dollar we borrow goes to interest now. Obama’s programs are unsustainable. We are in serious trouble. Obama has made it look as though the rich can pay a few more bucks in taxes and we will be okay. If he truly believes this he is incompetent. He thinks that by ending the Afghanistan war he can use money appropriated to that. That is a very naive outlook based on what is happening in the Middle East right now.

LOL, so you admit that Obama is weak and incapable of defending himself.
Bully: Noun: A person who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate those who are weaker.
But if you don’t know of the NUMEROUS kind and charitable acts that Romney has done for many people, you are not getting your news from a reliable unbiased source.
