Upcoming Us Presidential Election

Obama wants to pay off the debt slowly by reduced spending but Romney wants to pay off the debt with a credit card which in the end you have to pay back while even more in debt.

Obama wants to cut spending? Anything more than the military?

Emphasis on the word WANT. Some 'body' keeps blocking it though... who controls that and are they the same ones who say he has done nothing?

Albert Einstein said "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

That is why I am voting against Obama. The guy has been a failure and offers nothing different the next four years - more hope and change.

You sound like a Dixie.

Sure a Republican US can solve the world's problems which were brought about by the US under Republican administration using the same method. Do you seriously consider this to be viable?

An example but still on topic. Religion, bringing hope to a world torn apart by religion.

Sorry, but I don't know what "a dixie" is. Do you mean a doozy?

How many years did the democrats control both houses of congress? America's problems were caused by both parties, but Obama is the one who is responsible for the last four years and it is time to elect someone who does something besides making excuses for his own failures.

Sorry, I thought you were American. Do you know what a Yankee is?

Example: a Southern girl who married a Yankee

Maybe another Bush? US debt goes from around 0.6T to 1.2T in 8 years. Just what the US and the world needs. Romney wants massive tax cuts, is that what you think will save money?

I lived in San Francisco most of my life before I moved to Thailand, but I have never heard a person called a "Dixie" (as opposed to the area). We called them rebels or confederates where I came from.

Economic growth combined with getting rid of tax loopholes will save money for sure.

Can't argue with that

4 years of attempting to close tax loopholes have been blocked by?

I don't know, why didn't it get done when Reid, Pelosi and their fellow Democrats were in control?

I'm from the Southeastern USA and I've never heard the term used to describe a person before either. Now, Dixie, is a nickname for the South as in "I Wish I Was in Dixie".

Not clear at all. Americans are not going to buy a few doctored quotes taken out of context as proof of anything. Obama's dishonest tactics in this election have made them cynical. They are looking for real leadership and his disastrous performance at the debate finally popped that balloon.

But lots of Americans WILL buy someone who is willing to just lie to them, not your undercover see if I can get away with it lie but in your face up front just lying. Even a fellow party member Newt said that you cannot debate with someone who is willing to tell outright lies. Saying that, I doubt even he would try to get away with the rice pledging scheme though no doubt he would consider it. The man is a charlatan and even if he had 'I am a charlatan' written on his forehead he would get votes. Obama is a poor debater, always has been and always will but that does not mean Romney is a good debater, he's a good lier like the so called prophet he believes in. He's a trickster, a scam artist, a fraud. a modern day REAL Artful Dodger.

all anyone need do is interchange Obama where you have Romney and it is very accurate.

So Obama believes the words of a known (what wound be considered in the modern usage of the term) huckster?

The Obama campaign has called Romney a tax cheat, a tax evader and someone who is responsible for the death of a woman that he never met and had nothing to do with. All these charges are false and the president knows it. Yet he has not disavowed any of these lies. The Romney campaign has never sunk to this level. Obama has a lot more to answer for than Romney does in the lying department.

I agree, but I wouldn't waste too much time arguing with him, he's probably in the 47% that Romney mentioned and they aren't going to change their mind for anything.

Did it ever occur to you that Newt was running against him for the presidential nomination and lost? He might say anything to get revenge.

Yep! Three names come to mind...Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod and the Right Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Lies? They are both politicians. I'm sure they both told some lies or at least misled at one point. The thing is, in a live debate in front of nearly 100 million people worldwide, you have to be knowledgeable and quick thinking in order to respond to what your opponent says, and you need to be careful that any lie you tell will be picked up on by your opponent and thrown back at you. Romney did this with Obama's comment about businesses can claim a deduction for moving a plant overseas. He did it other times as well. But according to your picture, Romney told 27 lies yet the man standing next to him, arguably the most brilliant man ever to be President, the greatest orator of our time, was unable to respond to any of them. Why not?

To come out the next day and complain about it, while reading words written by someone else on a teleprompter because you weren't able to think of anything yourself the night before when it mattered is about as weak as you can get.

Romney set the table with his lies in the first debate for Obama to capitalize later.

Romney's greatest weakness is: CHAMELEON.

Nobody really knows what he is.

Obama may not be perfect but most Americans feel comfortable with what he is.

Obama's personal ratings have gone down and Romney's have gone up in the polls. Romney got the biggest bump from a debate in history. 150 milliion dollars of lying negative ads went down the toilet in 90 minutes and best of all, the American people can see what Romney is and what Obama isn't - a REAL leader.

Now I get it.

Axelrod's plot all the time was to make Romney look brilliant and Obama look stupid so Obama could attack him in a later debate!

So far, phase one is working.

This is gonna hurt...

Bill Clinton blockbuster: Obama’s an ‘amateur’

“Barack Obama,” Bill Clinton said, according to book excerpts, “is an amateur.” ... according to the book, Bill Clinton unloaded on Obama and pressed Hillary to run against her boss during a gathering in the ex-president’s home office in Chappaqua last August that included longtime friends, Klein said. “The economy’s a mess, it’s dead flat. America has lost its Triple-A rating . . . You know better than Obama does,” Bill said.

I read this book last month. The debate has shown it to be very accurate.

JT, in answer to your irrational fear that Romney is a "chameleon" I dug up these two posts from May I made in response to your similar position then. It took less time to find than writing it all out for you again...

Of course Romney is positioning himself on right. Don't act like this is your first Presidential election. That's how you get votes in the primaries - go after the base. In the general election, move toward the center to attract Independents. You talk about Romney's history, well, if you know anything about him you know the conservative right hasn't liked him because he has always been too far left. This recent re-positioning the past 6-9 months is to make the conservative voters believe that he really is a conservative and not a centrist at best, or closet liberal at worst. That is the plan to win the nomination. You criticizing Romney now for being far right is off target. Romney should be a Democrat's dream candidate for the Republicans. NOT because of his chances to win, but because he is most like them.

and this...

Romney was a successful governor of Massachusetts, a very liberal state with an overwhelmingly Democrat legislature. Say what you want about Romney Care, good or bad, but one thing is proves beyond a doubt is Romney's ability to work across the aisle with the opposition party. The ever-arrogant Obama has been an utter failure on that from Day One.

Romney's ability to govern moderately, is what has always worried the far right and what should make the left happy. For liberals, this election is close to a win-win (let's say win-tie) while for conservatives it is closer to a lose-lose (lose-tie).

So what is his plan for people with preexisting conditions? He doesn't have one! But he's OK lying during that debate to SEEM like he has one for low information voters.

Why did Obama LIE about Romney's $5 trillion tax cut for the rich? These guys lie all the time. The BIG question is WHY wasn't Obama smart enough to catch Romney in the lie (if it even was one) during the debate while everyone was watching? Look, a politician can always change his plan, tweak it here and there, but he can't change his IQ and that spells trouble for Obama.

BTW, I love the new phrase, "low information voters". It was probably coined to describe the masses who voted for Obama the first time around... "Obama gonna pay my bills!!"
