Honestly, I'm pretty much not voting for Romney because I can't support someone that is an out right liar about everything.

Both of them are liars but Romney going 180 on his positions is just outright ridiculous on ***like the auto bailout. He took the free market approach to it, Obama didn't and we saw results from the auto bailout work in Obamas favor.

Now it's all like "yeah, I'd have done that too." No sir, no you wouldn't.

And now that Obama can read his closing from a teleprompter, he's bringing it home strong.

So... Romney wants to make sure women have equal rights on the middle east but here in the USA, not so much.

Well concerning what he said in the last debate about women's equal rights... "I have binders full of women i can hire", which gave no ounce of insight towards equal pay for equal work, and simply stated that he could personally hire any woman he had in his binders. Sound a lot like call girls to me. Even Mormons are allowed polygamy in their religion, so i guess that justifies his response, amirite?

I know they were.
I was poking fun at how Obama has to take pauses while answering questions on the fly, but delivers his usual strong, confident speeches when he can read from a prompter.

I love how using a Teleprompter has become a pejorative.

I'd love to see the critics sit in front of a crowd and deliver a speech without stuttering repeatedly. I'm willing to wager they can't.

I don't stutter when I make speeches. I get nervous because I lose my place and begin to make awkward unrelenting eye contact with someone in the room while I freak the ***out on the inside.

Mormons stopped practicing polygamy in the late 1800s. It's called research.

I noticed that too. It seemed to me like Romney was outplayed all night.

That did seem to come out of nowhere. Apparently up until that point it was fine to attack the other person's ideas but today just happened to be the tipping point? Was weird.

My favorite part of the entire debate was when Obama made his "joke" about bayonets and the crowd chuckled. Pretty sure bayonets are still used as they provide silent death from a distance. Then again the general population probably thinks no one uses them and Obama was clever.

Pretty sure his description wasn't that detailed. But thank you for pointing out how the world has obviously changed. I had no idea we weren't using single load muskets anymore.

Way to miss the context of his insult.

Romney is arguing about the numbers of our naval/air force referencing 1916 and 1947 - times of World Wars. Obama countered that our military has changed since then and focus is off mere numbers and onto tactics and utilization of each individual resource.

'Horses and Bayonets' reference the fact that we aren't in 1916 or 1947 we're in 2012 where alot more counts than how many units you field in battle.

The LDS church excommunicates anyone who practices polygamy. Sure, offshoots of the church practice it, but they're not really Mormons.

The fact that Romney touts marriage as between 'one man and one woman' when his church just recently came to grips with that concept (along with minorities) is amusing.
