My thoughts on the upcoming Romney/Obama debate #1_

[Empirica]

IMO, Romney is a smarter more honest and more qualified candidate than Obama, but he doesn't possess his communication and social skills which are necessary to sell himself to everyday people.

As a strong anti-Obama voter, nothing would make me happier than to see Romney shock the world by destroying him in the 1st debate but unfortunately I just can't see this happening without a miracle.

Obama is a master of the spin and illusion and manipulation and trusting smile, while Romney is a boyscout in comparison whose only victory will be if he doesn't shoot himself in the foot and Americans are savvy.

The only hope for Romney is that there are more voters that will see through Obama's deceitful rhetoric and disarming smile than there are voters who believe his wonderful promises of a beautiful socialist utopia.

If any of you still believe in a higher power then this would be a good time to prey for Romney to reach deep down inside himself and find his illusive inner strength or for Obama to have a really bad day at the debate.

Thank you for your thoughts. :roll:

You lost me at "Romney is a smarter....."....I couldn't stop laughing to read on.

There are quite a few points I'd love to debate with but first I need to go over this one specific point:

The only hope for Romney is that there are more voters that will see through Obama's deceitful rhetoric and disarming smile than there are voters who believe his wonderful promises of a beautiful socialist utopia.

I'm not quite sure to make of this. What has Obama done to make you think he has promised a socialist utopia? Or that he even wants to push a socialist agenda?

 

[Empirica]

Thank you for your thoughts. :roll:

Wow!__I never expected the local Marxists to be so thankful for my thoughts_

Your recognition is accepted and appreciated Adam_ :thumbs:

The question you should be asking is, what has he done to convince us he hasn't?!

I was about to thank you for your spin on things until your marxist insult.

Um...what?

What has romney done to convince us he's not an alien trying to procreate with cows!?

Elk for Romney?

At this point even asking the question is kind of along the same lines as still believing that pro wrestling is real. Christ, man, they don't even try to hide it anymore. "I believe in redistribution". Did you already forget?

Wrestling is fake and Obama is a socialist. That obvious, that simple.

Here we go...

prey for Romney

I somehow doubt Romney is more intelligent than Obama. At least not where it counts. Sure, he may have financial intelligence, but he lacks emotional intelligence... which Obama has.


2012 Presidential Debate Schedule « 2012 Election Central

The first topic is domestic policy. Romney is a dead fish there. Obama will let Romney punch himself from whom he is today and who he was 4 years ago. That's all he has to do. He can not even answer any questions. Just play clips off of youtube. Obama will run loops around Romney. The only change Romney has is to keep pushing Obama's record on the table and display what he failed at and where he didn't keep his promises. This entire campaign is a campaign of bashing one another.

Secondly. Have you seen Obama's reception at the DNC compared to Romney's? And this was in a room full of people who supported either of them unconditionally. Obama got the superior response even though he spent just 15min talking about what he managed to do... and the rest 25mil talking about what he will do and bashing romney. Come on.

...well compared to the average American and Bush. But no for people that are in the 1% or .01% or higher on intelligence Romney is dumb as a rock.

She did lose me even more on Romney is honest.

Romney cares more about money, spends more effort stuffing his pockets. So on that topic he is more experienced than Obama.

I was about to thank you for your spin on things until your marxist insult.

My sincere apologies if I have mislabeled Adam as a Marxist_

I assumed he was because his Signature suggests he endorses wealth redistribution_

I suppose that Adam could have meant for it be voluntary rather than mandatory?!

And that's certainly what we need in the White House right now... less financial intelligence and more emotional intelligence. Let's see how much longer we can drag out the recovery while feeling everyone's pain.

Elk for Romney?

Oops, venison anyone?! :mrgreen:

 

[Empirica]

On the subject of which candidate is the smartest, some of you have obviously mistaken charisma for intelligence_

It's like saying that a used car salesman is smarter than a rocket scientist because of a friendly smile and gift of gab_

In reality, Obama is very likely the least intelligent president in American history, including his Vice Presidential pick_

The current POTUS certainly has been apprehensive about releasing his school records, which is suspiciously revealing_

You're right.

He graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law School, and was president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer, civil rights attorney, taught constitutional law, and was a state senator, but he's not intelligent at all.

If by redistribution you mean progressive taxes then every President since Coolidge is a socialist.
That is how foolish that sounds.

Good lord, if there was ever a reply that dodged the question more than yours right here, I've never seen it. You realize this is a debate site right? Sometimes you have to give reply's that make sense?

If you think Romney is rich because he is smart (Obama is filthy rich too, like 1/10 as rich as Romney, still filthy rich). You need to read up on the history of Bain Capital with companies like Sealy, Domino's, and Toys R' Us.

If you think Obama is dumb please tell us why, on what policy, or what he did.

 

[roughdraft274]

He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law. You really think he scooted by with a C or D average and was editor of the harvard law review and somehow managed to graduate magna cum laude? Stay in the conspiracy theory forum. That's where half of your posts belong anyways.

Is this suppose to be a justification?!

That is how foolish that sounds.

What's so "foolish" about exposing evil?!

Socialism has been creeping into American politics for many decades and look at the economic damage it has brought down on this once great nation_

A free capitalist system built the United States and socialism has been systematically destroying it and now we are fast approaching our event horizon_
