Actually the electoral college appears to be leaning towards your candidate winning...

That unnecessary clause near the end about Obama making unemployment a permanent part of the landscape gives away the bias.

I predict big government will win the election and the American people will lose. (borrowed from another forum member) Every election in the last 40 years has yielded this result.

Yup! I was just thinking about what an inspired thought you had then I saw you borrowed it

Still true.

[Ca Patriot]

Johnson and Paul supporters should start RIGHT NOW working on house and senate races and candidates.

[Beretta92FSLady]

Both are throwing punches this evening.

I wanted to know who planted the girl asking what the president will do about unequal pay.

Romney is still more effective. Obama is being more aggressive, but it's with material everyone has heard before.

[1245A Defender]

I could swear,, a lady wearing glasses asked a question,, dont remember what,,, cause I was thinking
She looks like this actress I saw on Hawaii 5 O last night...








Her name is christine lahti

[Citizen]

Tonight, Romney gave the best reason yet not to vote for him. He said we cannot afford four more years like the last four.

I agree!

I won't be voting for either of them. (ptooie)

[eye95]

I don't think anyone was planted. However, it was clear that most of the questioners were not all that undecided. I'd estimate that about 80-90% if the questioners were clearly supporters of the Democrat agenda. No surprise as Crowley selected the questioners and their questions. She also clearly favored Obama. Go back and look at the tape. She cut off both candidates, but almost exclusively cut off Obama on what was clearly his conclusory sentence while repeatedly cutting of Romney just as he was landing a haymaker.

It wasn't a town-hall. It was a moderated debate in town-hall clothing.

BTW, IMO no one won the debate. I would say that Romney lost it less. But Obama needed the win. The polls should remain steady with a slight Romney lead.

The MegaState won. The ruling class and plutocrats won.

And, the American people lost.



In any event, who in their right mind would believe anything either of those two said. Meaning, not only are the debates meaningless because they debate nothing substantive, even if one of them did lay out an exact policy plan and fully described how it would, for example, prevent inflation in the face of QEternity by the Federal Reserve, why on earth would anyone believe them?

Romney can't actually win a debate when most of what he says is proven to be a lie..and the rest is just filler that can't be a fact or a lie. I'm not technically an Obama supporter...I'm just 100% completely against Romney. There's no good reason to vote for him..because either he is going to do the same stupid stuff that Bush did which didn't work, or he will get elected then flip flop his position on every issue like he already has. So basically if you vote for Romney you will either get a failure of a President...or a loose cannon that at any moment could completely change his views on every issue.....definitely not someone anyone with sense would vote for.

Before I go to sleep, I check under the bed for Romney.












I check the closet for Obama.

I have always been under the impression that the one under your bed is the one you really have to worry about...so I'll just agree with you and not worry about what your impressions were.

[OC for ME]

It's the economy, nothing more and nothing less. January 1st is rapidly approaching.

I check my pockets. Obama's definitely in there. Mitt Romney is trying to claw his way in, but Obama is fighting hard to keep him out.

LOL! Too bad it's true...

Oh, that was good. Very good.


I think I will start checking my pockets for Bernanke.

Even if we fire the failure of a president we have now, a triple-witching hour occurring on New Year's Day could push us over the fiscal cliff, even before the replacement can take office three weeks later.

Are you part of the top 1%? Or even the top 25%? Do you know who pays most taxes?

Well, to be fair, a retro-active to Jan 1 bill could effectively delay that. IE, if parties get together after the election and say we will do this and we will make it retro active to Jan 1, don't panic. That might work. Might.

After the election, if the Dems have lost the White House (and especially if they have also lost the Senate), expect petulance and the Dems blocking everything that is not perfectly to their liking. That means we will go over the cliff, the only question being how high the cliff is. If the cliff is high enough, disaster will have struck before a new Congress and president could do a thing about it.

Unless the federal debt is repudiated, who do you think is going to pay for it, either by taxes or dollar depreciation from the price inflation that follows printing money out of thin air?


Also, keep in mind that price inflation hits the poorest the hardest. They are last to receive the newly created money; thus price inflation is already a factor by the time the newly created money trickles down to them.

So, unless the debt is repudiated, somebody is going to pay. It will either be taxes, which can include business taxes that get added to the price the consumer pays for goods. Or, it will be price inflation taking away purchasing power.


This all assumes the system of government debt and money creation doesn't come crashing down. In that case, we all are going to pay--pay heavily indeed.

Heck, only 1/2 the country pays income tax ... I'm in the top 10% .. and I ain't rich

[WalkingWolf]

Exactly, unless a person is in that upper level the politicians are not into their pockets. They are into the pockets of those paying most of the taxes. Fairly the people paying the taxes are into the consumer pockets by passing down their costs of doing business with interest. It is called profit percentage. So if the business owner have their operating expenses raised by 10% they will make a profit on their outlay. That 10% will be closer to 16% by the time it reaches the consumer.

The people on the bottom of the scale are such numpties. They think they are getting a handout, but paying for it in higher prices, or less jobs, and less pay and benefits. The rich should pay their fair share, but so should everybody else. When the fed makes money out of thin air everybody loses, except the politicians.
