Did you watch the debate? Nothing new. Both candidates
repeating what you see over and over in the political
commercials. However one point made again by Romney on his
desire to shrink government {accept the military} is worth
stressing. If in a still weak economy where like it or
not the government is the biggest employer and biggest
payer of salaries in the US, to suddenly cut back on
government would be a disaster and could easily create
a major depression. What happens to those suddenly
un-employed government workers? Does Romney really expect
us to believe that there will be a magical renaissance of
business hiring that will compensate? Not in this world.
Unless Romney has an ace up his sleeve. Maybe he wants to
create another war to take up the un-employed his policies
would create. I could understand how some people may not
be satisfied with Obama because the economy is still not
100% but he inherited a problem left by the previous
administration and was dealing with a big handicap in that
the sole purpose of the Republican party for the last four
years has been to re-take the white house and congress to further their totally one sided big business agenda so the
millionaires and billionaires like Romney can get richer
still. Today's Republican party is a party of economic pigs.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24924771 Now in searching the web after the debate I found the
'conspiracy nuts' {yes, and I too am a conspiracy studier},
are suddenly spouting. They are upset that Obama was being
too easy on Romney, after all you remember the way he walked
over McCain in the last election. I was upset with what
appeared to be a genuine warm handshake and smile for Bomney
before the debate began. After-all this election has hardly
been friendly if you have been watching the political
commercials. And even the analyst on PBS was saying he could
have got Romney in some obvious untruths such as the lie
about him taking money directly out of Medicare. Every
athlete has an off game and let us hope Obama's performance
improves in the next debate. Personally I believe Obama is
capable of walking over Romney in a debate and let us hope
in the next one he does just that because unfortunately a
fairly substantial part of the voting public is not voting
because of facts or reason but rather by who wins {as it so appears} and comes out looking like the winner. Obama must
convince the public that 'he really believes' that Romney as
President is unacceptable and a threat to the economy and
people of the United States.
-Remember the great boxer Muhammed Ali who beat
George Foreman with the Rope-a-dope? Next debate I will
KO Romnery with 'the Obama Shuffle'. We have seen enough
of Romney's Repulican BS.
