. Well, he doesn't know his religion - doesn't know the year he was born, and doesn't know he voted against passing against the Stafford Act (think New Orleans). He fooled the electorate in '08. He's sure he can fool them again. . |

. THank you! I think ABC and I think Georgie Stephanopolus - he will go to any length to see Obama relected. He's even part of the DEM strategy sessions. That's not good news. Just not good. . |

We saw him already on domestic topics, and we know what he faces on his record with foreign topics... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFf0dUH3OtU&feature=player_embedded and considering what he must face... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yf7WJ5Glkk&feature=player_embedded I'm not anticipating Barry walking off with a big victory that will reverse the polls. |

Do you think Paul Ryan is intimidated by George? Somehow I can just see Ivy-League George being left in the dust by Paul Ryan's non-nonsense, straight -shooting intelligence. |

. I was thinking more in terms of dirty tricks and dishonest practices. Like providing the questions beforehand. If one has the questions beforehand, you have 5 people doing research and making edits. That would stand any debate on its head. |

I'm bumping into quite a few articles addressing how Barry needs to and can make his comeback in the upcoming debates. After reading many, here are examples of what I'm seeing:
Who gets there first does not change the FACTS. Barry's constantly repeated one-liner is for the economy to grow from the "middle-class out" with his plan. Be it that line or "trickle up" or "trickle out" or whatever, all income comes from either investments or compensation for employment - JOBS, JOBS, JOBS... Some liberals may argue it's a 'chicken/egg' debate, but in a free market economy you MUST have a chicken to produce an egg ...in Barry's economy the government is stealing the eggs from chickens that belong to others and handing them out to 50 million people. Somebody else is paying to feed those chickens.
The plan was NEVER all about ONLY funding through elimination of "deductions and loopholes" ...the $5 trillion is the Obama team number ...they completely ignore revenue increases from the velocity of circulation ...and the rate reduction is subject to what Congress will allow. It's an open-ended goal to be worked out with bi-partisan approval. Mitt could again identify that the under $100k will not be hit and say that if Barry would identify which "deductions and loopholes" he and the Democratic party want to save for those making more than $100k a year that he'd have the process already started and underway to reduce taxes. Maybe he could start a response with a lesson on what the velocity of circulation (money) is ...that would be funny! Also, toss in Clinton's record on what tax & spending cuts do.
I'm not aware of Romney pushing for that, but I am aware that Barry cut SS payroll taxes - in his "trickle up" stategy that did NOT work - which reduced the solvency of the program.
LMAO!! There they go again, spending the money twice! It is either to be spent on Obamacare or on Medicare, not both. Mitt needs to help by explaining what "means tested" does and make it quite clear that all the increase in costs the Democrats point out are an AVERAGE which would be shouldered by the wealthier, NOT 'average Joe' ...it is smoke & mirrors that would be the same as average tax per person, though many people pay no taxes and some pay much more. Actually, the changes Romney/Ryan propose are progressive, so the Democrats should be jumping for joy ....but the government would not have ALL the control then! The topics of 'trickle up or out' AND 'tax cut / revenue' already show a record of Barry's plan failing, unless he has a Plan B on the table because he knows his Plan A did not work. The SS is a non-topic and he paints himself into a corner on the Medicare double-spending approach ...which Barry actually did in the last debate! None of the articles I've read on this next debate issue will touch foreign affairs, which will be on the table this time around! The debates are Mitt's to lose, and a tie goes to the last winner.

I wish Romney would counter Obama's lies on his policies by saying, "Mr. President, when I hear all your mistatements about my policies, I begin to understand why we have Paralysis in Washington under your administration. You ASSUME things, you don't study them...you can't find common ground because you don't apparently do your own homework. A leader doesn't just use partisan think-tanks to reinforce his own partisan ideas. That's campaigning, not governing |

...and stress the cost per job using Barry's method - stimulus they want more of. |

Food for thought: Romney could put a damper on the GM topic by discussing how it is failing / struggling financially, etc ...before Barry gets a chance to brag on it. It has been a steady topic of late for Barry. |
