Presidential Debate
 

I'm not really a fan of either candidate, but Romney did pretty well.

Discuss last nights debate,..................................

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Romney took lead, Obama didnt bring his game face. They both overstated quite a few things, meh.

Not gunna lie... And not trying to be racist at all but I swear Obama looks like one of the actors on Planet of the Apes in that picture! Just noticed that.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

yeah i think obama really missed a lot of opportunities to destroy romney. A key line should have been obama saying "Thats not what you said last week" or "another flip flop? what will your republican base think?" or "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?"

Re: Presidential Debate
 

I think since those statements are the basis of most Obama commercials, repeating the same rhetoric during the debate would have resulted in him losing even more.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Romney showed up and prepared, Obama didn't. This race will be won by the undecided. Romney is proving daily that he has a plan, Obama just seems to be "waiting out the storm".

We'll see how the next two go, but if Obama roles the same way in those, I think Romney will win this one. :lurk:

Re: Presidential Debate
 

No where did Romney really say how hes goin to fix things though, he likes to leave details out. He may want to fill in those gaps otherwise well experience the same hope and change we have now.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

No canidate is going to sit on stage for an hour explaining detailed ways they are going to fix the budget, lower taxes, or create jobs. Thats not the stage for it. There are detailed plans by both canidates out there, you just need to find them.

Romney was on the attack, but this is nothing new for a person running against the current President. The last few elections I remember, the current President always got their ass handed to them.

Romney did overstate some points, but so did Obama. They are both greasy, slimey politicians, but out of the two, I have to make a decision based on which is the lesser of two evils.

Now, the BEST part of the whole debate didn't actually happen on stage.

Al Gore... Seriously? He said the reason Obama did poorly at the debate is because of the altitude. He didn't have enough time to get used to the oxygen levels there.

Well Mr. Gore, as we all know, without global warming caused by humans, Denver would not be a habitable environment for any life whatsoever. :P

Re: Presidential Debate
 

I don't think it was a matter of Obama not preparing, it's just his record is abysmal for just about everything, and there's only so many ways to try and spin out of that. Romney called him on the major point, ie: economy, jobs, spending, etc. There's really no argument for that, that's why he struggled. And he had his usual talking points, but Romney was prepared for them and more or less shot them down. It went exactly as it should, I'm just glad we've finally got someone that can stand up to Obama, McCain was way too passive and old.

Biden's gotta be shaking in his boots right now, he's really going to get slaughtered in their debate.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Unfortunately this is exactly how I feel every election for quite some time. Perot in like 2000 was the last time I really liked a candidate that had even an outside chance of making it.

Republican and Democrat candidates only climb up the ranks in their parties if they are scumbags, so we are doomed. I really hate some of the things Obama did, so I guess by default that makes me a Romney supporter even if I am not that crazy about him either. :Banane56:

Re: Presidential Debate
 

LOL I saw Gores response, was baffled!

I saw this yesterday and thought it was hilarious lol.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

OMG, trying not to laugh at work. That was great!

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Re: Presidential Debate
 

OK, I finally figured it out.

Romney didn't win the debate on his own. Obama let him win through redistribution of his lead. It's the only fair thing to do, right?

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Personally I don't like either one of them, I don't like any candidate ever. They all lie and fix one thing and make 10 other things worse.

The only thing I noticed through all the senseless jabber, is that Romney was very conceded and rude for most of the debate. Obama may have lost some of the arguments per say, but at least he remained respectful for the most part.

I am pissed off that this is who we have to choose from to lead our country.

Both of them suck! That video was funny!

Re: Presidential Debate
 

As a President of the United States, I don't want someone who quietly sits politely in the corner while the big boys talk. I'll take the aggressive person who isn't afraid to take the lead and run the show.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

100% agreed.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Not always. As one great Republican once said...

"Speak softly, and carry a big stick."

Too bad Obama can't carry a big stick, and too bad Romney can't speak softly.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Voting for Ron Paul. I don't care if that's "throwing my vote away." It's also voting for who I think is the best candidate.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Or just vote for Obama, same thing.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Really, that's what you're basing your decision on? Obama is a pompous ass in almost every speech he's ever given, and his blatant disregard for Congress or anyone else clearly backs that up. I'm with Chris, I'll take the one that shows confidence through experience instead of bowing in submission to foreign leaders. It's time to elect an adult instead of "hopes and dreams".

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Um not even close, Ron Pauls policies are very different. Unless you mean that its a wasted vote going straight to obama instead?

Re: Presidential Debate
 

If you are thinking about voting for Ron Paul in this election, don't. Even he's voting for Gary Johnson. In this election too much is at stake for this country to "waste" a vote. I agree that Ron or Gary are much better for the job, but save that for 2016 if Romney doesn't get the job done.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Thats what I meant.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Exactly. Don't waste the time, energy, and resources; just stay home making it easier for the rest of us to vote.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Theres no such thing as a waste of vote. Just because it doesnt go toward a majority. Its everyones own decision and to tell someone else to stay home instead of vote, is retarded.

You need to realize your opinion is your own.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Just like yours is your own.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

It's not about whether my vote will help/hurt someone else. I'm knowingly voting for someone who isn't going to win, on premise alone. I'm not going to stay home, or abstain from voting simply because I'm not voting for the majority. I've voting for the person I believe is the right candidate and has views most in line with my own.

Welcome to America! Don't like it? I think Iran is looking for some immigrants! :spin:

Re: Presidential Debate
 

If there is something I've really taken from these debates, it's that I'm neither Republican nor Democrat. I agree with one side on some things, and the other side on other things.

I really wish there were more independents running.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Same here! Economically I tend to go Republican and social issues Democrat. Sadly independents probably won't ever win a presidential election.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

OMG that was funny as hell!

Re: Presidential Debate
 

Yea opinions are great! But telling someone else to do something is a bit different...

Also here are the facts on last nights debate, I didnt watch it but looks similar to the previous debate, lots of fake facts and flubs.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

I get it, so as long as it agrees with your opinion then it's ok, but if it goes against your opinion it, and I quote,

Re: Presidential Debate
 

How can you think telling someone what to do is okay? It isnt... Its everyones choice to vote, you may not like who they vote for, but it isn't right to tell them not to... thats all im saying.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

People can vote for whoever they want, I never told him he can't vote for whomever he wishes. I simply said if you're voting for someone who doesn't have a chance, why bother wasting the time, energy, etc. He then responded with his personal reasoning. I stated my opinion, he stated his, done.

Re: Presidential Debate
 

That has a lot to do with our electoral system and why it's all jacked up.
