You know when you quote someone, you should really give credit to the person you are quoting.

| Monday's presidential debate, the third and last between President Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney, featured a forceful and articulate defense of Obama's foreign policy. That was no surprise. What was surprising was that it came from Romney. |

Is this a joke? Obama uses his pre-loaded line about horses and boyonets and then goes on to "inform" Romney that "we now have ships that go underwater" and so on. What exactly did Romney say that was as rude and condescending as that? Really, I don't get the Obama supporters. This guy either doesn't prepare for a debate, or he prepares for one by loading up his gun with sophomoric "zingers." And I wanted to like Obama because I don't have a good feeling about Romney, either, but Obama is making it hard for me to like or respect him and his loyal followers just seem entranced. They go around high-fiving each other about "horses and bayonets" and jumping on "binders full of women.' Do these people realize this presidential election is for the presidency of the US, not junior high? |

I thought the horse and bayonet line was good, because it easily showed how stupid the Romney bit about having more boats truly is, but did so in a way that everyone could understand without going into technical details about improved capabilities of modern boats. Treating stupid suggestions like they're legitimate makes them seem more serious than they really are. |

| Due to technological advances, the US Navy is more powerful than it was in 1916 despite having fewer ships. People should have serious concerns about voting for a guy that wants to increase military spending by trillions but seems so out of touch with modern military realities. |

I'm generally curious about what this point has to do with anything? Seriously, I would really like someone to try and explain this point to me. I thought businesses were all about the bottom dollar, and maximizing profits? |
How many businesses would survive without a budget for 3 years?
How many businesses would survive spending so much without taking anything in?
We're in a situation where we are 16 TRILLION dollars in debt. We're truly heading toward Greece. Tough decisions need to be made. Instead of talking about that, we're talking about binders full of women.
Obama is a spender. He doesn't know how to work with people who disagree to even pass a budget (he has not passed one in three years).
Romney knows what it takes to handle the money, and that is what needs to be done.
How can you honestly sit there and wonder whether or not business experience makes a difference when our economy is where it is now?? |
Except a COUNTRY is not a BUSINESS but why worry about such little details. |

The "little detail" that worries some of us is that the national debt ballooned over the past four years-more than it did in the eight years under Bush. |

Indeed it has but let's be honest...what caused the deficit?
How were the nation's finances when Obama was elected in 2004?
What was the cost of the conflict in Iraq for example?
2008 happened for a reason and that cannot be hung on Obama alone. Check out how the 8 years of Busheconomics affected the US for example (not all bad but the systematic elimination or reduction of government regulation in banking and esp in real estate loans).
Obama has his share of responsibility but if anyone thinks Romney will fix this, I am sorry but they have not paid much attention to the Republican economic p | | |
