Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)

i guess with its good news with unemployment under 8% we cant look at it objective? So part time jobs JUST started getting included in employment numbers? I guess we should root for a continuation of unemployment/people struggling for Mitt's sake?

Thats all im trying to do. And i dont think firstdown or anyone here is routing for a continuation of bad numbers.

I dont think there has ever been this type of disparity before. Its not just a big difference, its a huge difference. Looking at it objectively is trying to figure out why.

Let me help you then, lower unemployment numbers are good. Its always a positive, never a negative.

Funny now the left wants to look at things objectively. When Bush was in office when someone lost their job it made national news and the country was going to hell. Any positive news about the economy was then followed by 4 or 5 negative things about the economy. I just point out that alot of the jobs were part time jobs (which is true) and the left gets all up set.

There really should be buzzers or fact checkers in debates to BUZZ when candidates are lying.

Electric shock collars around the candidates necks, jolts administered to be decided by CBO, factcheck.org, whatever organizations can be determined to be fair if any.

And have a 2 minute "shot clock" visible in front of them (so the debaters can see it, and and behind them so all the observers can see it.) When time's up, the debater's mike is cut off and camera cut away, so the moderator can tell the other debater his time is about to start. No exceptions. If the debater tries to continue talking, he gets shocked.

And have more than the Big Two party candidates in these debates. Libertarian, Green, Communist, Constitution, any other decent size parties, at least pick a couple to make it at least a four way debate. It might make things more honest.

I know this is all fanciful, but can we at least have the electric shock collars?

Every debate would sound like it's attended by a swam of large bees.

...and on that note.



Romney Health Care Debate Claim Gets Corrected By His Own Staff : Shots - Health Blog : NPR



It's really bad when your own campaign has to correct your mistakes in the debate and even sadder that some of the American people buy the bullshit that Romney is saying. Not sure what Obama was thinking or doing in this debate allowing him to get away with it.
