He loves teachers like he loves Big Bird.

Martina · 10-22-2012, 08:32 PM

Dayum. That was everything the concluding statement in the first debate wasn't. Home run for the President.

Tommi · 10-22-2012, 08:34 PM

Not only is the green and yellow flat, it is sinking below the midline. YEAAahhhh,,,,undecided are with Obama tonight.

Go VOTE, makes you feel big and strong.

"I love teachers." - Mitt Romney

"I love American cars." - Mitt Romney

"I love Big Bird." - Mitt Romney

When all else fails and the sweat is rolling down your face, drop one of these sentences somewhere and hope for the best.

(this foool is 2 shades redder than he was when he started the debate and he's sweaty as hell but it looks like his Aquanet is holding up)

Martina · 10-22-2012, 08:34 PM

Did Romney end by telling us he'd be honest???

Fatale · 10-22-2012, 08:39 PM

Yup, still wanting to punch Romney in the neck.

Romney did somehow get a comment in about education when the question was about foreign policy. He said something about putting the kids first and putting Teachers Unions behind us.

I am not impressed when either candidate is asked a question and their response throws everything in it except what the question was about.

Yes like when Romney was asked how he feels about illegal weapons he smiled
And responded that a couple should be married before having a baby

I found this in my morning reading in Slate. I see others are noticing such obvious non-answers too.

"Below you'll find a segment-by-segment breakdown of how both Obama and Romney found ways to sprinkle their favorite domestic talking points into their foreign policy answers. As you'll see, both proved more than cable of staying on topic when they wanted (see: Israel), but didn't hesitate to return to their tried-and-true domestic-heavy stump speeches when they thought it would help them."

did anyone else catch the 3rd party debate?

i was a little disappointed with the questions - the first one seemed set up to stroke the ego of the debate organizers and the rest were lobbed softballs for the occupy crowd they seemed to be targeting

i admit i went in with a favoring for rocky anderson but i'm in line with gary johnson's position on last nights debate topics - i wish i could make a frankenstein monster of the 2 of them

I watched.

The 3rd party candidates were so respectful of the debate process and of each other. Larry King kept messing up the agenda and the order and they were very gracious.
I like Johnson, Anderson, and Stein. Although I did enjoy listening to Virgil Goode's accent, his issue positions made me twitchy.

I agree that some of the questions were lame. I wish the 3rd party candidates were allowed to debate with the Democrats and Republicans. It makes the debates so much more interesting and also highlights how similar the two main candidates actually are.
