Anonymous Coward User ID: 19011623 United States 10/04/2012 01:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a bit older than you, and back in 1980 when I was a young, naive and delusional, I worked on the Jimmy Carter campaign (yes yes I know) Quoting: Blue Zeus I wanted to be a reporter back then and I was already active in politics, so I was glued to the debates between Carter and Reagan I remember my young idealistic heart feeling crushed as I watched Ronald Reagan swagger into the debates and demolish Carter Every "there you go again" and other confident put down was something I couldn't comprehend at the time. I argued against it, I called Reagan aggressive and domineering....but I did know it meant my guy was on the ropes and going down hard and he did Now, in hindsight as an adult, a born again ornery indpendent with a powerful dislike of both parties, I respect Reagan's self confidence, and I know that is what a country going through difficulties wants and needs I encourage you, if you get a chance, to watch some online clips of those Reagan vs Carter debates so you can say "and that sir, is how it's done..." An old man, once called a hack, who found his fire and slid into the presidency on a landslide I am in no way defending Reagan's presidency, the fact he was a paid representative for GE and the defense industry etc etc. I don't think any president is anything other than a mouthpiece chosen by the PTB However, that said, he was great at those debates and he demolished poor Carter ..who was not a bad man, but was a bad wizard.... here is the entire 90 minutes sorry embed is disabled..... -Anubis I've skipped around a little. When I listened to Reagan's response to Walters' final questions...around 1 hour, 19 minutes....I'm thinking Romney did some studying of this debate before tonight. |

Wow and to think I could of been one of those aborted fetus you creeps cry so loudly about. What a joke you all are when your true colors shine for all to see. Irony.

Maybe just because I was two in 1980, so I don't have the memory of everything between then and the late 90's to see how things have continued or evolved. |

Guam User ID: 2103460 Guam 10/04/2012 02:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me give you a little clue as to how this is going to play out over the next week or so and just how devastating a blow to Obama this is going to be and as well it SHOULD be... Quoting: SHR Obama is an empty suit...he's nothing but facade, remarks prepared by someone else and prompter...tonight was the very first time in public where he had to stand up all by himself and face someone who was prepared to confront him. He didn't get that with old fart fool McCain...he didn't get it during his own Democrat primary against other Democrats...you all saw how misreably he failed...the entire leftist media is in fullout damage control meltdown or denial mode...The President seemed lost, disengaged, disconnected and completely out of his league... So...how do you think he is handling the security and negotiating with other world leaders? Who are NOT Americans that have America's best interest at heart like Romney is and does....you really want Obama dealing with Vlad "The Shark" Putin after seeing this debacle?...cutting trade deals with China?...or the Arabs?....uh uh errr...well my grandma like er, ummm... Is that the so called "Man" you want as the commander and chief securing the lives of your children?...your family?..this country as a whole?...is the person you saw tonight the one you want to trust with those monumental responsibilities?...someone who couldn't even hold their head up and acted like a peevish girl who didn't want to be where they were. And people wonder why he hides from his responsibilities like he did when our embassy was raided and 4 Americans including our Ambassador were murdered... There should be no wondering...that is all he has...he's nothing more than a community organizer who was built into something he never was and never could be by people who wanted an extremely Progressive President in the whitehouse...he's a charade and the Barack Obama that so many people were sold on has never existed in real life...and when the facade walls that protect that stylized image are removed?...you see the real Barack Obama just like you did tonight...outclassed, out of his league and pathetically out gunned when it comes down to taking on any challenge by himself. You also got to see a Mitt Romney tonight that was in his element...he was prepared to handle the moment, well informed, well spoken, made his points well and handled whatever feeble counter points Obama could squeek up easily and handily...he did indeed look act and sound like the Pro he is...and Obama looked acted and sounded like the fruadulent boob he is... Oh dear God, if Obama somehow got re-elected, expect 4 more years of this shit. Putin bitch slapping Obama like Romney bitch slapped Obama tonight. Same shit, Obama meandering on about some BS w/o his teleprompter, looking down at God knows what and not even being able to look someone in the eye. |

Don't forget the wedgie. T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |
