    I surprised Romneys relentless assualt of lies was considered a success.

    Debates aren’t won by telling the truth, they are won by not allowing your opponent to refute your statements.

    I have seen some salespeople who are incredibly persuasive. Even though you know in your head they’re lying through their teeth, your heart tells you that you absolutely have to believe them and sign the purchase agreement. A short time after they leave your home (or you leave their sales premises) your brain re-engages and you desperately want to get out of the signed contract, and, at one point, buyers had a few days to get out of the contract if buyers’ remorse set in. But, of course, the buyers had to go back to the sellers to renege, and the sellers could usually convince them not to.


    During the first debate, Romney was just that persuasive. I’m sure, if the election had been held during the debate, both President Obama and Jim Lehrer would have voted for him.


    And I’m sure, an hour after the debate, both had terrible buyers’ remorse.

    Romney began the dismantling of Obama. The next debate should be more of the same.
    Obama is an empty suit and a cheap one at that.

    Not at all surprisingly – you got it ass backwards. It was Obama’s lies that Gov Romney so delightfully repudiated!

    ?? Romney is the BEST the Republicans have to offer.
    O is the ONLY one the dems can offer.
    Who would vote for Biden if O decided to drop out at the last minute?

    “Who would vote for Biden if O decided to drop out at the last minute?”
    Funny thing is I respect Biden over Obama. The guy has no filter and you know what i going on in his head. which is not much, but I feel I could at least trust the guy. Trust him to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. But at least I would know.

    I’m surprised anyone listened.

    Rudy McRombee was chosen by the dam democrats over conservatives. As long as he gets the incompetent communist puppet out of the white house I don’t care what he is, we can deal with that next time.

    Name one, just ONE, incident were the sitting, electable president stepped back and his party nominated someone else. The Dems could offer a lot of people, it’s just not done.

    -

    And A LOT of people would vote for Joe because he’s a nice guy and shares the same mindset with the President: protect America against the movement towards fascism from within!

    -

    In years to come there will be analysis about how much domestic terrorism was edged on by public statements of self proclaimed “conservatives” and “patriots”, and it will not be a pretty picture. I’m just waiting for the next Timothy McVeigh…

    I see the first debate as a draw…. Romney interrupted Lehrer, Obama calmly stuck to his script… If MR is the best the GOP can do (& they accepted him reluctantly) what can I say…. I prefer the professor

    Virtually every time Mr. Romney spoke, he misrepresented the platform on which he and Paul Ryan are actually running. The most prominent example, taking up the first half-hour of the debate, was on taxes. Mr. Romney claimed, against considerable evidence, that he had no intention of cutting taxes on the rich or enacting a tax cut that would increase the deficit.

    That simply isn’t true.
