I wonder if Paul Ryan finished all of those dishes before the debate ended.

Obama compromised everything to make good on his campaign promise of bi-partisanship. Rather than be a quality party of the people, the Republicans used that to weaken him, rather than strengthen the country. Putting themselves and their petty issues above your nation's interests. The Dems were little better in not standing stronger for what they believe in. The compromises to the healthcare bill, rendered it so much less valuable, all just to placate the Republicans who want to overturn it anyway. Any wish to do so without (based on their rhetoric) even a vote to see what the public truly wants. Skewed opinion polls do not count.
And all Obama wanted to do was something similar to what Ronald Regan and other past presidents wished to do. Ronald Regan, the Republican demi-god, who by their current, extreme right-wing standards, would have appeared left-wing.
- Sorry I fucked up my facts (damn whiskey) it was Richard Nixon (Rep) who proposed universal care. Sorry.ETM
- Put away your torches, I apologize.ETM
- Your point still stands. THe recession was still so bad in mid-terms the GOP was infected by the tea party...mikotondria3
- ...and that just caused the whole pres/house/senate thing to stagnate, like a blocked heart. We've all suffered since.mikotondria3
- And the general point that Regan's overall policy was still very leftist compared to today's Republican agenda.ETM

I've been reading that Frank Luntz book "Words that Work" in the past week, and it touches on a lot of why certain people that vote Republican understand things the way they do, and why Bush was able to relate so well to them. Bush was a basic-spoken person who did not use big words and used language that low-information people could relate to. All the sophisticated, long-winded dialog from many Democrats is over their head, comes off as elitist, and they won't take the time to read it.
So as I've been railing on Romney to people, and within Facebook conversations, I've been trying to apply that to the points I'm trying to make. Nobody that I tell to read the Rolling Stone article about Bain is going to read it. They just won't. They'll sit through the lies and exaggerations and bullshit in the 2016 movie, but they won't take the time to read real facts.
So, I've distilled that article, and Romney's business history down to a pretty minimal question or response to people:
"How do you feel about Wall Street greed, about rich investors getting richer, and about investment firms that bankrupt good businesses, lay off hardworking people, and make tens of millions if not hundreds of millions for investors?"
]The logical response is to say that's all terrible, and it's what's at fault for many of our economic problems right now.]
"Now, how do you feel knowing that much of what Mitt Romney did as a businesses man was the same exact thing? How do you feel about his "success" and that what he was really good at as a businessman was to destroy companies with debt, lay off their workers, and make money for the rich? Do you realize that this is what he was successful at - unbuilding businesses, being greedy, and making millions and millions of dollars from doing so?"
When you put it that way and ask those questions, it probably makes it easier to digest. It probably won't change their minds, but might help show how Romney is no different from all the Wall Street money-grubbing swindlers who rip people off and profit from it.
Success from creating failure.

I'm really astonished that a man who wants to be President, and who has been selected by a major party, thinks Iran is landlocked.
That's just appalling ignorance. I hope that debate wasn't broadcast overseas...

Joke! To all who said the 7.8% jobless number was correct.
They "forgot" to include California into the statistics. Wow...
