When I got on the stage, I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney.
But it couldn't have been Mitt Romney, because the real Mitt Romney has been running around the country for the last year promising $5 trillion in tax cuts that favor the wealthy. The fellow on stage last night said he didn't know anything about that.
The real Mitt Romney said we don't need any more teachers in our classrooms, but
the fellow on stage last night, he loves teachers, can't get enough of them.
The Mitt Romney we all know invested in companies that were called pioneers of outsourcing jobs to other countries, but the guy on stage last night said he doesn't even know that there were such laws that encourage outsourcing. He's never heard of them!
Never heard of tax breaks for companies that shift jobs overseas? He said that if it's true he must need a new accountant.
Now, we know for sure it was not the real Mitt Romney because he seems to be doing just fine with his current accountant.
So, you see, the man on stage last night does not want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney's decisions and what he's been saying for the last year. And that's because he knows full well that we don't want what he's been selling for the last year.
So Governor Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president you owe the American people the truth.
So here's the truth: Governor Romney cannot cannot pay for his $5 trillion tax plan his tax plan without blowing up the deficit or sticking it to the middle class. That's the math.
We can't afford to go down that road again. We can't afford another round of budget busting tax cuts for the wealthy. We can't afford to gut our investments in education or clean energy or research and technology.
We can't afford to roll back regulations on Wall Street, or oil companies, or insurance companies. We cannot afford to double down on the same top down economic policies that got us into this mess. That is not a plan to create jobs. That is not a plan to grow the economy. That is not a plan to create change. That is a relapse. We don't want to go back there. We've tried it. It didn't work and we are not going back. We are going forward.

He's still toting the line that got him slapped down during the debate. I thought that Romney gave a very clear explanation on how to cut the deficit without raising taxes on middle America. It made sense. I'm not sure if it would actually work, but I can't see any specific reason why it wouldn't either. Romney did land a knockout punch when Obama started talking about how to cut the deficit, and Romney brought up the past 4 years. It was like the elephant in the room. If you have such a clear and simplistic plan that makes so much sense to everybody, then why the fuck have we raised the debt ceiling and why are we in the hole that we are in?

That's because mitt has actually done this as a job. Unlike community organizing which relies on rhetoric.

And the low rent ignards are eating it up. I listened to a few minutes of callers on some show right after the debate. One lady (of color) called in and said we don't need a businessman running the country. We need a man who knows how the people feel. WTF?

I can't wait to see the VP debate. That is going to be an epic beatdown within the first 3 minutes.

The Pharaoh was as unprepared for this debate as he has been as the President...he's in over his head.
Of course, it could have been the high altitude..."I'm going to say something controversial here," Gore said during a post-debate round table on Current TV. "Obama arrived in Denver at 2:00p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started." "Romney did his debate prep in Denver," Gore continued. "When you go to 5,000 feet, and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know."...
