LOL!!
Go Romney Go!!
I am soooo relieved that I live in a state where Obama has given up. Or at least so I’m told — the vile Obama ads they were playing on radio and TV last weekend were nauseating and reason to get out the Roku.
Quote of the day (so far) by a guest on Fox’s ‘O’Reilly Report’ tonight:
“This debate is between a guy who makes things happen, and a guy who makes things up.”
BAM! There’s a commercial in there somewhere!
I get the feeling that the US election will be decided tonight.
I’m swallowing my gorge and watching tonight. Some fortification may be required.
The headline has already been written, no doubt:
” Obama wins, amid signs of a swing in public opinion away from Romney.”
The only people who watch these debates are political junkies or those who are otherwise already engaged in the whole game. There is 0=zero practical impact on election results based on people who will actually see or hear the debate.
The only thing the debate provides is fodder for chatterers and affirmation of the points of view already entrenched in the politically active.
I mostly agree OMMAG cept for the zero practical impact bit. Energizing the base affects the ground game and there is a MSM/pop culture trickle down effect on some unengaged sheeple.
Let’s see if Romney has the stuff to bring up the movie. I don’t think he does. he will beat around it but he won’t bring up the movie. we’re it me I would ask him directly about the movie because he brought it up numerous times even at the UN. in my mind it makes the legitimate issue and Obama should have to answer for it. if it’s not important then why did you bring it up numerous times at the UN for example? please explain yourself mister Obama.
.
I won’t hold my breath.
forgive the typos I am voice texting
ooohh…fancy homez..;-)
MSNBC has polled and found that 85% think Obama won.
Are you kidding me?
I’m going to watch something with substance like….. I don’t know….Housewives of Vancouver!
All you folks from small towns cling to guns and religion
Yes…Romney neutralizes Obama’s use of Bin Laden on HIS terms early.
Fort Hood,please !!!!
LOL Rob
O- “I took leadership”. Liar! You were making excuses!
muslims and jihad! oh my!
Romney is far from perfect, but Obama is a horror. He is lying as I type. (“leadership!!!!)
I see Barry is rattled. Blew off the introductions, went right in.
Teh Won looks angry and is blinking a lot, I wonder what kind of juice they’ve got Him on.
Obama is doing well on the attack early. Romney better pick it up.
“What we need in the Middle East is strong, steady leadership”
Obama endorses anyone but hisself.
Obama out swinging early; he HAS to……but Romney countering well.
Romney extremely strong on Obama’s crack re Russia.
bambam is coming out swinging… lets see it he finds a jaw hanging out.
Oooh…more flexibility for Putin…zing!
Romney lets Obama speak to often by asking him questions and allowing him to answer.
“You haven’t been in a position to execute foreign policy” – from the man who’d never been in a position to execute anything but “community organization”
Oooooooh, Barry loves Israel. Nation building here at home”!!??!!
LOL Obama defending his foreign policy as C&C and for Romney to take a lesson. What a joke.
FP is really not ROmney’s suite; he’s not different from Obama. Less incoherent maybe. I predict Romney will score some points on Benghazi and then fumble the rest.
If Israel is such a good friend, why does Bammer treat them so terribly?
Both want whomever takes over in Syria is friendly. Well that’s not going to happen. So what are they going to do about it?
Romney counter punching well, which is all he needs to do. Bam needs a KO, and I don’t see him getting it. BTW, who the hell is casting a vote on the basis of foreign policy…other than the military…who is already behind Romney?
OK, I couldn’t resist checking in. I believe I saw enough to make a strong prediction….
The American people will lose.
So much BS.
“Attacking me is not an agenda” – Mitt Romney
‘Romney extremely strong on Obama’s crack’… No, You’re thinking of Chris Matthews.
Massacre in Libya? WTF is Barry on about?
Bin Laden! Shot!
Bears 10, Lions 0. The other battle tonight.
Mitt has to get in a solid punch. Bambam is dancing like a butterfly…
One look is worth…..
I interpret Romney’s look….
“…..bless his heart….”
Is anyone keeping a time clock on the moderator?
O’liar is getting too much time and is not asking O’interuptus not to interupt when when the Moderator clearly said not to interupt.
???
What Romney did that was smart was to highlight all the players over there and their responsibility in regards to Syria as well as not using America’s military and using proxies instead.
Bwaaahaaahhaaaaaa!!!!
The Egyptian Revolution…. oh my… is he cynical, stupid, crazy?
The community leader-in-chief has invoked the “organize” verb three times already.
Is this Bob’s Obama Show? He keeps letting that guy drone on…
They have the same aspirations as us! (if you ignore that gang-rape stuff. Oh and the wishing for nukes to use ’em against Israel).
Tanks in Tahir square?
I think O’makeupthings is confusing Tahir with Tianamen.
No wonder he has Biden as his Lieutenant – makes O’teleprompter lucid in comparison.
Romney – “our debt is our biggest security risk”.
BAM!!!!!
