Impressions from Presidential Debate

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

Toss up as far as who won.

But the moderator was helping Obama a lot. She had trascipts right in her hand about Obama saying Libya was a terror attack???He did not say that. WTF. Did she have every transcipt that Obama and Romney ever said. OR JUST THAT ONE. Romney was set up. She is a sorry excuse for a reporter. Very bias.

I believe it's safe to say that people on both sides of the political aisle can see the moderator was more lenient toward Obama than she was for Romney... Obama got to speak for 4 minutes more than Romney. This debate was about dancing around the questions and throwing quick punches at the other. Like Mr. Bill mentioned before, I didn't like was the moderator putting her $0.02 in to support Obama regarding the "terror" quote the day after the attacks. He mentioned the word "terror" but he never classified it as a "terror attack".

I would like clarification regarding the hoop-la over Romney saying his staff brought him "binders full of women". I took it as he was given numerous women's resumes to look through for certain positions on his cabinet... Am I missing some hidden meaning?

Did you see the NEWS report where they did catch her in that lie about ' The Rose Garden ' terrorist attack quote ......

I'm may be just a middle class citizen , not a college grad , but , how about trying something like this .

RUN THE DEBATES IN A REAL MANNER ......

A non-biased moderator to ask the questions and actually LEAD the debate .
None of the questions accidentally LEAKED to one , or both , Candidates ....
Only one microphone on at a time.
Candidates say seated at all times.
Moderator asks a question ... their mike goes silent ... Candidate's mike goes live and then OFF at the two
minute mark. Moderator's mike live to give rebuttal to other Candidate , then that Candidate's mike live for
two minutes , then off.
THEN :
Moderator asks a question ... their mike goes silent ... Candidate's mike goes live and then OFF at the two
minute mark. Moderator's mike live to give rebuttal to other Candidate , then that Candidate's mike live for
two minutes , then off.

etc for the entire debate .... no one gets extra time .... or left out .


Wouldn't that be a GREAT debate ?

Not an America other that a North American but I agree totally. Control those Candidates, keeping it fair and proper. Finding out who can actually use words effectively and efficiently and HONESTLY...we could use that process up here too, CANADA that is.

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

I think you'd be hard put to find a moderator that was completely unbiased, but the two so far have been from PBS and CNN - that's left and lefter than left. I vote the next moderator be Sean Hannity.

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

They should hold the debate on the Howard Stern Show. Then at least it would be entertaining...

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

WOW !!!!!!
I'm really surprised that no one has said anything about the last debate.
At least this debate was handled better ... candidates seated .... not allowed to strut ( oops, I meant walk ) all around the stage ... was kept MOSTLY to the 2 minute oratory ... not really allowed to interrupt each other continually ...
The sad thing is ... in my opinion ... neither one made a really good showing .

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

I found it funny that the "Foreign Policy" debate turned into another "Domestic Policy" debate... I don't think either side "won", but you can bet any of the liberal media will say the incumbent dominated it, like usual.

The old saying goes, "How can you tell if a politician is lying? If their mouths are moving." goes into effect for both candidates. But I'd rather have a man who was a successful business-man first and later a politician than a life-long politician.

America has tried Change, now it's time to try Competence.

No, he is too stupid to win any debate. And I think his hair is real.

His hair may be real, but what is real if what you say isn't and everyone believes your hair to be fake. Does it really matter if it is real or not. s-Toupee-d is as s-Toupee-d does, I think that is how it goes?

Sometimes winning is not being there to make a fool of ones self...I heard that somewhere too.

Re: Impressions from Presidential Debate

Hemlock, you ever hear of the company, Staples??? That's one .

Oh that's right. if you run a business you didn't do that. Someone else did that. Funny. Real funny.
I started my own business and never had any help from the goverment. All I do is collect and pay taxes.

Toss up on who won. 2 weeks to go tell we really know for sure.

Wow, this is the first company I've heard of that Bain/Romney didn't loot and burn.
