Romney blows it during debate

[nathanm]

You weren't (apparently) guessing earlier when you seemed to know exactly what Romney's tax plan was.

I have never claimed to know exactly what Romney's tax plan is. That would be hard, given that he doesn't apparently know (or refuses to share).

Andrea Mitchell making an absolute @ss out of herself. Seriously, asking a Romney surrogate to "take back" calling, oh my gosh, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....lazy. Sheesh.

Contrary Adhering to the concept of adding words and then repeating it frequently enough that it becomes the "truth".

I guess you are too young to remember John Sununu.  George H W Bush's Chief of Staff.  He was the guy that Baby Bush finally had fired for taking massive amounts of personal trips (ski vacations in Colorado...) on military jets and not paying for them.  (Using resources that W wanted maybe??)

Leaked rumors about financial problems in his family, then took a government limo to New York from Washington to attend a rare stamp auction - spending $5000 on rare stamps.  After the auction, sent the limo back empty while he traveled back in a corporate jet.

The voice of credibility....

Nathan was the one adding words, not me.

You must be in Denver and suffering from altitude sickness.

OKC right now.  It's that rarified atmosphere here in the Holy Land of Oklahoma....

Holy Land air or not, if you are having difficulties in OKC (regarding the quantity of oxygen in the air) you need to see a doctor.  You probably need a few more red blood cells.

Lot's of O.  Not much anything else of interest....always glad to get back home after these little adventures.

Lot's of O. 

Look out, it may combine with O₂ to make O₃

Well I guess all of that dirt under Sununu's nails justifies the unbiased, objective Andrea Mitchell's outrage over someone calling a president lazy. I mean, the nerve of that guy showing that level of disrespect, contempt, and irreverence to the boy king. Here she is dissing Bush and stroking Obama at the same time.

This encapsulates the problem with Romney's debate performance, leaving aside the continued difficulty with the truth, anyway:

[dbacks fan]

  When any politician on either side of the aisle says, "Trust me!" it's time to grab your wallet and run - do not walk - to the door.  We all know that the large print giveth and the small print taketh away.  Mitt is print writ large, absent those critical details. 

Whenever I hear "Trust Me" this immediately comes to mind.........

Goes to the point of living in a glass house and throwing stones...he's got less than NO room to talk.  If he is going to anyway, well then people should have the frame of reference from whence he comes (it's called balance...something unknown in Foxland).


Nice try to deflect, though.  You got the Murdochian Method down pat.

President Obama spoke for several more minutes than Romney.  Here's how he spent one of those minutes covering the issues important to him. http://themorningspew.com/2012/10/04/important-obama-debate-highlights/

I submit that the current president has wasted far more on superfluous travel while purporting to being in touch with the suffering middle class and claiming he was going to cut deficits in half.
