Romney and Ryan have made no secret of their disdain for those that accept anything from the government, even when earned. (Oh with one exception - Tax shelters and deductions for the Rich). so if you get a couple of thousand dollars a month from SSI, you're a taker. If you accept a million dollars for your corporation from the feds, you're a job creator.
No thanks Mitt. I've heard enough.

One thing for sure.. Romney did NOT inherit ANY money from his parents.. THEY GAVE IT AWAY... Those Romney kids had to make it on their own... so Romney was not given money by his parents... he earned it... the hard way... People are jealous of his abilities... most of all Obama. Since you love to defend Obama so greatly, why not ask him to 'unseal' his college papers, tell you who paid his way through college.. and show his college grades... Both Obama and Michelle have sealed their college papers... try and find 'em unsealed...... wanna bet I'm right?? Also ask why he has two birth certificates... one from Hawaii... and one from Kenya? That one in Kenya.. even has his foot print on it like all birth certificates have... Tell me I'm wrong now...

Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong. He inherited 1,000,000 dollars which is a pretty nice start. He also inherited his fathers connections in politics and private industry. This guy was born on third base and now wants to take credit for hitting a triple.

So what is your point Kit Lens? Are you jealous? What did Obama do that made him such a fabulous choice for the office? If you study how he used federal housing grants to garner money and political power for both himself and his associates it is pretty disgusting.... But no, press won't hardly touch that but the history and the facts are out there.

Kit,
You like all the rest of the he don't like me crew, haven't a clue as to what this man is or does. You want to stick with Obama be my guest as he runs your ass into the ground. You are a senior, who is looking to Medicare, have a great time finding someone to treat you. Obama pulled the money from Medicare to fund that dumb ass Obamacare. Learn to do some research I am sick of hearing dumb answers or complaints.

George

We went out to dinner last night ((grandson's birthday), so we only caught a little of the debate near the end on the radio while driving home. Obama did not sound nearly as assured as Romney did. Since I didn't hear the debate, I can't comment on the substance, but it sure sounded like Romney was ahead on style points. We recorded the debate, so I'll watch it some time over the next couple of days.

What I like about the debate was when Obama repeatedly said that Romney's plan was to increase the taxes by 5 trillion dollars etc etc and Romney wouldn't let him get away with it. He equated Obama and his henchmen to his five boys saying that if you repeat a lie enough times people will start believing it. Did you see Obama smirk the first time that happen?

Obama's policy of lead from behind baffles me.

Neither one is fit to be President and bring back the respect that this great country deserves.

I wish Clayton Powell was running. When they asked him he just laughed and shook his head.

I'm voting for Pat Paulson.

I think that you meant Colin Powell, but just so you understand that a vote for Pat Paulson just means that someone else's vote for Obama will make a difference.

You are right on Colin Powell not Clayton and you are right again on voting for Pat Paulson. I hadn't thought about it in that context. Thank you very much. Pat is going to have to wait agian. :)

Over the past several months I did figure out one thing about the candidates and the most disturbing wasn't that I didn't like romney, it was that Romney doesn't like me.
I'm one of those takers. After working only 55 years, I began claiming social security. So now, I'm a 47%'r. He doesn't consider me a job creator but my taxes & expenditures support the police, fire department, sanitation department, public works department, the Lawn Doctor guy, UPS, the Post Office, my local repair shop, grocery store and restaurant to name a few. Yet Romney/Ryan don't like me because I don't own a small business or better yet a large corporation.
So in the end, why put someone in the White House who is looking at me as a leech.
No thanks guys. I'll stick with Obama.

Yea, you 47% people we had better go to the polls. I'm on S.S. and my wife still works so we are in a higher income bracket where I pay a portion of my S.S. I'm no leech or a person called a looser or a taker. I've paid my fair share of taxes over the years and I served my country under a draft order during the Viet Nam war. Romney choose to avoid his service obligation and sit and relax at some religious school. Using that to keep him out of the military. I resent the idea that Romney calls us folks who are in the 47% free loaders, takers or leeches. One who advocates that type of thinking has no business being the president of these United States. Come on you takers, keep the President on the job for another four years. I'm proud to be a liberal also.

You mentioned Romney skipping out on the Military... what, pray tell, do you think Obama was doing.. selling incense to the rich? He acts like he is so in love with the Military.. but why did he not see those Military men got their voting papers in time to for in Nov... Oh I see why, cause he knows they normally vote Republican... therefore none of them will be able to vote for Romney... awwww... Obama's mindset never ceases to amaze me... he's one step ahead of everyone when it comes to things he wants..

If Romney is a snake oil salesman then Obama is trying to sell us the entire snake.

Obama scares the daylights out me. He blames all the problems on the rich just like a guy in Germany did in 1933.

I know it has nothing to do with the substance of the debate but one thing that turned me off was that insolent grin that Obama wore during much of the debate. I also noticed that he kept looking down at his notes a great deal. Of course I can understand that because he normally has a teleprompter if front of him telling him what to say.

Just finished watching Romney and Obama in the debate. Romney was much smoother than I have ever before seen him -- but still lying and trying to sell snake oil deceptively.

For instance, let's look at his statement that he won't raise taxes. One of his oft-repeated goals, he has said repeatedly in past months, is that he will achieve his financial goals "without raising taxes." He has also stated that he will achieve much of this by closing "loopholes," and one of the loopholes he intends to close is the household mortgage interest deduction.

Well, now, let's look at the math. If you are buying a house and paying $1,000/month in interest, which is a low amount here in California, that means you no longer get to deduct 12 x 1,000 from your income. Let us assume you stay within the 15% tax bracket on your earnings. Fifteen percent of $12,000 is $1,800, which is the additional amount you will have to pay on your income tax. No, Romney won't raise taxes. He will achieve the same thing by not allowing you deductions you have had for years, and effectively by making you pay more.

Romney is a snake oil salesman.

LOL Romney kicked Obama's azz so much so that MSNBC had a meltdown.... it was really funny to watch, also saw a focus group that was made up of over 50% Obama voters who not only agreed but about 3/4 of the group said that they would be voting for Romney after the debate.... Obama got smoked.. The focus group was amazing, about 24 people who before the debate would have split for Obama after the debate Obama had only about 4 supporters left... It was a great night for Romney... It will be interesting to see the post debate polls when they come out in a few days...

That was a hoot! Those people at MSNBC had no idea where to go.

People, this debate thing has all been settled. The reason that Obama lost is confirmed by the great scientist of the Global Warming World. He stated that since Romney came to Denver a day before Obama he was acclimated to the altitude. This is no BS. That is what the great Al Bore said on Current TV. Can you believe this guy was almost our president by under 600 votes? WOW!! This might explain the nomination that took place here four years ago! The light-headedness of the audience!!
