Describing yourself as a consitutionist is nonsensical

You don't remember exactly right. He insisted he said it, then said check the transcripts, then Candy said it was in the transcripts.

The repeal Obamacare....lol...it's like closing guantanamo. Not going to happen and everyone knows it.

hehe, if you buy the narrative that Obama made Washington gridlocked, then I have a bridge to sell. you. It's like saying some guy who's boat leaked fuel in some river which has various manufacturing plants polluting it as well and other boats leaking fuel into it...like saying that guy polluted the river. Well, yes...he did...but it isn't his fault the river is polluted. And that isn't even a good analogy b/c quite frankly, the way the incentives in Washington are you literally cannot help but leak fuel...there is no way with the current procedural rules in Congress and partisan forces in local districts that anyone can be some "magic man"...not Obama in '08, and certainly not Romney in '12...which is why when people bring up Mass as a liberal state and him being governor they just sound stupid b/c it's basically admitting they don't understand Washington and why it sucks...it isn't Mass

Example if Romney says oil production on federal land has gone down and Obama says it hasn't and they sort of go back and forth and at times Romney says it's gone down 14% in a year then as they quibble he says it's going down generally and Obama equally being weird about it and says it isn't...and the truth is it went down 14% last year but hasn't gone down net over the presidency...it's not her job to jump in and say "whoa, BP oil spill, also let me explain the lease situation, also there are concerns about the administrations focus as Romney says, also the year stat is right but the trend it is trying to show is misleading, and on and on"....that isn't the role. If they literally go back and forth over a plain and simple fact of record, she can say it is or isn't on the record.

LOL retraction. Candy said Romney was wrong on "act of terror" and he was...he was focused on that trying to make Obama seem like a liar for saying that he said that...he said that. Candy also said ON STAGE the video issue was also a cluster. Which she said after. The right knows no bounds when it comes to the bubble here. There was no retraction. She said the same thing after, that she did on stage. She was not wrong. Romney was wrong on his weird little attack he thought would be a "gotcha moment." Once again, it is nobody's fault but Romney he thought he had a big win focusing in on some semantics about the word terror.

For a moderator to be fact checking everything on the spot, not possible and not correct role. For a moderator to speak up when they actually know that a plain question of if something was or was not said is true or not and the two candidates are both insisting one way or the other...totally fine b/c the bottom line is these debates aren't for a candidate to look great...they're for the people watching them...and the people would just prefer to know in that moment of nonsense who was right since it's a matter of record and they both say the opposite.

I still don't get this. THey went back and forth over if the transcripts said this, he was trying to call his opponent a liar on a strictly factual question. The American people watching and in that debate are like "I have no freaking idea"...there is a right answer and she gave it. This is good. On Fox News afterwords you have people screaming "The time for fact checking is after the debate"...actually...in a situation such as that...it's during the debate. If you don't want to be wrong, then don't be straight up wrong about a black and white issue. And btw....nobody even did this to Mitt...Mitt was focusing in on this weird semantic "atc of terror" issue all on his own...so don't be mad at anyone but Mitt if you think it hurt him.

It is absolutely amazing how retarded some of you are. Mitt was fact checked b/c he spent time fixating on if "act of terror" was used, and was trying to make Obama look like a liar, he was instantly fact checked, was completely wrong. Get out of your bubble. Candy went on to acknowledge there was confusion over the video, which to Mitt's broader point can be said. But if you are angry that he was fact checked on "act of terror"...then you are a conservative bubble dumbass who is just angry Mitt looked bad so you find a way to pretend it didn't happen.

please proceed governor

haha say what you want Perot had charisma!

I'm President Obama and I approve of this joke

The race is over. There is no coming back from this epic gaffe

Mack trying to argue that extending the debt ceiling was stupid. Mack is a knuckle dragger...as Boehner would describe it

Haha, well this fake Mack isn't coming off like the sharpest tool in the shed. Although he is going hard after Nelson over this cow farm Nelson has.

Not that anyone probably cares but they go on at 7. Close race for Florida Senate Seat. There have been some pretty rough ads too. Repubs need this one if they still dream of pushing for the Senate. Also it would mean Florida has gone completely red on basically every issue of Mack wins. http://www.wptv.com/generic/news/news_livestream1/live-streaming-coverage

It hasn't been open season on the Al Queda network? I think you need to read more news...or maybe less of the news you read....

I know I thought about that too haha

Pssh...there's nothing outlandish about that girls twitter...if you know about twitter. Sad that people think this is news...a girl has a twitter with some stuff she wouldn't put on a job resume and now she can't ask a question at a debate without being vilified by faux-news gossip websites?

I've brought this up before, he's ok way with it. Move along.

Someone should tell this guy that bank probably doing more for his cause than he is. For real though, damn...keep catching these mofos.

We won't agree so no use in arguing. But the fact is she did know the answer and they were not giving it to the American people so she clarified on both accounts and was right on both accounts and people liked that she did so on both accounts. You may say there is no point for a moderator (who is always a journalist and not Ryan Seacrest) to do these things. People are sick and tired of this nonsense. Romney fixated on if it was referred to as terror. It was. Plain and simple. Romney said there was confusion in the 2 weeks following on if it was related to protests all around the world. There was. Both of these points are accurate. Both confirmed. There is no argument that the American people watching are the better for it. Plain and simple.

BTW the best line of the debate IMO, and in politics in recent times "Some jobs just aren't coming back." True. And addressing an issue both sides try to attack each other on. Something Buffalo of all cities should know is true.

Actually, she's a journalist and she knew the transcript b/c that's why journalist are asked to host. She acknowledged the confusion Romney was trying to get at which got an applause. She also acknowledged that when Obama said if you check the transcripts I referred to it as terror the day after which Romney was hell bent on focusing on, and was wrong about plain and simple. The idea that there is no role for a moderator who is a journalist FOR A REASON to not speak factual information when unfactual attacks are flying and contested...is bizzare. Romney says the grass is blue. Obama says...well it's green. Romney says "on the record?" Obama says "check the grass." It's no place for an informed moderator who has checked the grass to say "green?" And btw the fact that she got an applause for both confirming Obama was right on what was said, and that Romney was correct that there was confusion for days following on what happened...basically proves this is what people would prefer a moderator to do. And considering she was right on both accounts, it was a good job, on both accounts.
