Presidential Debate Discussion

[Natalya]

I only caught the last 15 minutes of it. Before that I was too busy playing roller derby to care. I heard all over the internets that Rmoney won, but like my understanding is that he didn't explain how he would pay for his policy proposals and I saw him say he'd replace Obamacare with a plan like the one in Massachusetts so if he won then it was probably only a popularity contest that he won. It also didn't seem like a debate either, given that there is for some reason supposed to be a winner and a loser, so I mean I'd just say that this sounds like more of the shit that is wrong with America's political system.

Romney is too rich to relate to the average american. He'll be too busy buying his kids corporations instead of running this country.

WHat i got out of it is that romney can not tell the truth to save his life. and that obama was not on top of it at all.

Romney won the debate by making Obama look like a bumbling idiot multiple times.

Why don't we just all declare our selves Libertarian Anarchists and vote accordingly?

Ooh, so it's about the way you look, not the content you offer.

When your opponent is changing the subject multiple times during an answer but never answers the question and you point that out, he looks like a bumbling idiot. He also talks like a bumbling idiot too, if you would have preferred that word, but what I got out of the debate was that Romney has a vision and a plan to get us out of the recession while Obama does not.

[Bragallot]

He may have a plan to get the rich white man out of the recession. Apart from that? Keep dreaming.

[stubby]

I think Obama came to the debate prepared to debate against Romney's positions from the week before, and wasn't able to adjust to his new positions fast enough. Poor guy got confused.

This...is brilliant.

Romney has a vision and a plan.

See I just don't know how true that is either. Sure, he acted like he had one, but he definitely pulled it right out of his asshole just so he could have something to tote around the debate. Obama loses points for not at least making something the fuck up to counter that. Some people would praise him for his honesty, but the debate's just showbiz anyways.

And Obama sure as shit wasn't the only one changing the subject and not answering the goddamn question - that's par for the course in any debate. I was laughing my ass off at how often they completely ignored whatever they were asked.
