Are you for Obama?

Somewhat off topic, but Romney did very well debating Obama tonight.

He clearly won.

 

Yes i will be voting for him i like what he did for the insurance raise it to 26 instead of 23 that saves me a lot of money. At my job it comes out of my check and its costly and i believe it takes two terms to fix the economy

 

Besides the point that somebody else already pointed out about the 2-party system being ludicrous and broken.
Let's just say I would never vote Republican (at least as it is now) and especially not when their candidate is someone who believes in magical underwear and Indians were of Jewish decent and all that.

 

I would certainly vote for him over the Republicans in a swing state. I would vote for Jill Stein in a non-swing state.

 

^ This

&

^ that.


I refuse to participate in a rigged system.

 

Something about Romney just scares me. :lol: And I don't like the GOP to begin with (hate would be a more fitting word). I would definitely vote for Obama if I could.

 

he spent half his time interrupting the adjudicator and being the rude boorish dickhead that he is, i hope he has a stroke before election day so we're spared the prospect of such an inhuman douchebag having remotely the amount of power he hungers for.

 

Outright yes.

Commentators say he performed badly in last night's debate, but I hope he wins. A Mormon becoming one of the most powerful men in the world? Really?

If Romney wins, the rest of the human civilisation should be afraid. Very afraid.

 

The two parties political system is clearly broken. When face with two bad choices, voters are forced to choose for the lesser evil. And so it rarely ever reflect the right conensus of the country. Also, if you don't vote, you lose your voice, since they don't count non-vote (not sure if they count blank vote in US). There is not realy a choice. No vote = giving up decisions to other; vote = bad choices. There need to be a reform.

Anyway, if I was an American, I would choose Obama.

 

I live in the UK and I am for Obama and the reason I have an opinion is because the USA is so influential on our country. Whatever the US does, every other country follows, so it's really important for us too.

 

This right here proves why you have zero credibility. No need to act like a 12-year-old.

Anyway, Romney was far from a rude dick in that debate. In fact, Obama was the one that had the terrible body language and condescending/disinterested attitude. And polls and political analysts agreed.

Both interrupted the moderator, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Obama was definitely "Mitt" slapped last night.

 

I wouldn't say he won, since that isn't the purpose of Presidential debates (if it were we'd vote immediately after them based purely on the content of the debate), but he definitely did better than Obama. He was smooth, polished, and self-assured. It was very discouraging for me.

 

Ehh, I would argue that is partly the goal of a debate.

Not sure why some people are surprised, though. Romney is a very good debater and he's pretty smart, even though he isn't always the best at communicating.

 

And of course, with you being seven years his junior, he should take notes. It is not acceptable to attack other members like that.

I can understand that you're angry about his response. However, I agree with the Australian. Romney did turn in his humanity card--several times in fact--with his statements and policy positions.

 

enjoy the oppression, collapsing of the economic system, and a reversal of human rights.

 

I don't agree with the Republican's views, but I also don't like where the Obama administration has taken us.. This is my first year that I'll be able to vote, so I will take this opportunity. I'm still on the fence about this, Obama promised a lot of things 4 years ago, and not many of them were upheld(but this can be said about all the presidents).

That one little clip of Romney talking about how he didn't care about the 47% really affected me, which I'm in since I'm a student that relies heavily on the government for FA. Oh well, I still see it, either way we're kinda screwed. We should all move to Canada


As for the debates, Romney did do fairly well but he was still rude in his demeanor. I'm surprised Obama was still cool about it. If I was Obama, and he interrupted me, I'd be like "Excuse me bitch, I'm still talking". Maybe it's a good thing I'm not president LOL.

 

I've always hated politics and had zero interest in it. In fact, at 20 years old, I couldn't tell you anything about how politics or the government works. I never bothered to learn and even when I was required to in school, I never took it to memory.

That being said, the only reason I care about this election is because Obama really is the only viable option. No matter what else he has done or will do or what his other policies are (which I really don't know), the fact is that he has done more for the LGBT community in the last four years than ever. We can't afford to fall back now. If Romney wins, we expect everything to go to hell...on all social issues, not just gay marriage/rights. Besides, I'm totally liberal and would always vote on the democratic side. I've never voted before, but I'm thinking I should this year.

 

Heh, to be fair, Pseudojim has attacked him just as relentlessly in the past.

Romney absolutely made inroads with independent and undecided voters (per polls and analysis), and clearly had the advantage over Obama in that debate, for whatever reason (is it just me or did it seem like Obama hadn't gotten any sleep in the past few days prior?). If the past is any indication, though, winning the debates is no indictment of who wins the presidency: Mondale beat Reagan, one could argue Gore beat Bush, and Kerry essentially put a "beatdown" on Bush. The more "outwardly likeable" candidate won every time (and yes, unless you're a Democratic zealot Bush was actually considered more likeable than Gore and Kerry - in precisely the same way that Obama is infinitely more likeable than Romney, unless you're a Republican zealot).

 

Obama never was skilled at debating, there's a reason the Republicans made fun of his teleprompter use so much. He only performed the best in the debates the last time because his foe was old John McCain.
