Speaking of Univision.....You think Obama is regretting putting the Univision owner's wife into a UN diplomatic appointment after they asked him hard serious questions?
"In a cruel and evil world, being cynical can allow you to get some entertainment out of it."
Obama better hope an asswhuppin' is covered under Obamacare... oh, wait - he exempted himself from it.
Romney came out on top - Nobody is arguing with that, but the debates don't matter, just as EVERYTHING either of them say while running for office doesn't matter. What matters is what they've actually done when they're NOT running for office.
Honestly, I'm not really happy with either candidate. To be fair I have to state that I detest Obama, but I only dislike Romney. (And kinda like Ryan) There's only a few shades of grey between them because they're both politicians.
The more government we have, the more opportunity there is for corruption - so we have Chicago politics vs. Bain Capitol politics. Personally, I'm voting for the guy who knows how to run a business and at least says he's for smaller government.
Maybe he'll actually read the bills before signing them. Maybe he won't block offshore drilling when gas prices are through the roof. Maybe he wouldn't block the Keystone pipeline and have Canada negotiating with China to ship all that oil. Maybe foodstamps families wouldn't have doubled, because those families might be able to get a job if all the employers aren't being crippled with taxes, stupid policies, and Obamacare penalties for every extra employee they hire. And speaking of Obamacare, maybe my insurance rates would only go up 20% instead of 80% - or maybe we could put some real competition into the system and they might actually go down.
Maybe none of that will happen, but even the cover story on USA Today last week says Red States are showing substantial job growth, Blue states are still stagnant at best. Things that make you go Hmmmm....

Romney acted like a little kid in a candy store--obnoxious.
Here is an idea!:
Romney: pound the same points throughout the entire campaign without really saying anything and you will win the debate! (Oooops. you already did that--what a genius!)
The moderator (forgot his name and too lazy to look it up) looked like he needed a nap.
My question is:
What is Romney running for that Obama isn't?
The fact of there matter is that they are playing on the same basal platform--either way, we just might have to stick to fixing shyt (or in my case breaking shyt...lol).
The problem is that Government is not a business and can't be run like one. Business are designed to make money, Government is designed to provide services and infrastructure.
...in an efficient cost effective manner, just like a business. Another point: No government can keep spending more than they make and not collapse. And yet another point: Socialism has always failed as soon as it runs out of other people's money.

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate
Are you really confused on the differences in their platforms??
Do for one what you wished you could do for everyone. - Andy Stanley
Romney's business plan, based on past performance, is to acquire, sell off in pieces to overseas investors and keep the profits for himself.
Again, based on past performance, he'll likely sell off mineral rights to the Chinese, supply of social services to the Pakis, the universities to the Indians and policing will get contracted to the Israelis. The military will continue to get sold to Raytheon/Boeing/EADS/DynCorp/Haliburton/et cetera.
And this is the business plan that y'all want for the country?

Not really. I was just observing that they make many of the same points against each other.
It many respects it seems to me that if they weren't so partisan they would be bedfellows.
