Here We Go

by murphy on October 16, 2012

in election 2012


Personally, I hate the town hall style of debate — but we will see. I will be watching on CNN , CSPAN, and Fox. I’ll also be posting on Facebook, twitter, and reading at Crawdad Hole.

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 8:12 pm

Tricolla!! Omg!! What an accent!!! Lol

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:13 pm

lowering gas prices not the job of the Energy Dept according to Sec Chu? Do you agree?

7

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:14 pm

awww, I thought he was cute.

obama is better than last time but he keeps making shit up about romney.

8

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:15 pm

Romney needs to bring up Canadian pipeline which Obama stopped. Helps energy and jobs.

9

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:15 pm

lets look at the presidents policies instead of the rhetoric.

holy crap romney has facts at his fingertips.

10

prplvette85 10.16.12 at 8:15 pm

alright now, Romney lookin right at ofraud and calling him out on energy woot!

11

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:16 pm

There you go!

12

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:16 pm

How in the world …

13

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:16 pm

I cant vouch for if romney’s facts are actually true, but he sure can bring the confident debate response

14

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:16 pm

mlhath — he mentioned it!

15

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:17 pm

Is $4.60 a gallon the new normal Mr. President

16

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:17 pm

We are drilling more on federal lands than under W — obama

Is this true?

17

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:19 pm

whoooo.. head to head

18

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:19 pm

ooooh

mano y mano

19

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:20 pm

Go Romney = I am speaking dammit

20

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:20 pm

that wasnt a question, that was a statement.

ouch

21

prplvette85 10.16.12 at 8:20 pm

Blood in the water.

24

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:25 pm

Question to Romney about taxes-

Romney says he wants to cut taxes on middle incomes bc obama;s policies have been crushing middle class

limit deductions at the high end

the top 5% will continue to pay 60% of the taxes (Is that true??)

25

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:27 pm

Murphy – the fact checkers will have a field day.. checking everything out.

26

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 8:28 pm

Why penalize the wealthy? That sux.

27

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:28 pm

Don’t know if it’s true, but good answer.

28

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:31 pm

Penalizing the wealthy is part of the distribution of wealth that Obama believes in. I heard once, paraphrasing, why is it greedy to want to keep your own money, but not greedy to want to take other peoples money?

29

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:32 pm

Romney speaking with a lot of conviction

30

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:32 pm

I actually think Candy Crowley is doing a good job.

31

gordana 10.16.12 at 8:33 pm

Why is she asking him to explain, when she would not allow Romney to correct the fraud! something stinks here!

32

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:33 pm

43

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:39 pm

Romney is down a lot on the time.

44

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:40 pm

Someone needs to bring up that need to encourage women to go into professions traditionally male… engineers for example. It IS feminine to do math and science!

45

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 8:40 pm

Millions of people… Including women

Jesusfracking Christ … Are women not people?

Lily Ledbetter isn’t about equal pay… It’s about statute of limitations on filing grievances

46

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:40 pm

Romney had a lot of women in his admin

47

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:41 pm

I like Romney’s answer about women in the work force

48

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:41 pm

romney talking about all the women he hired

and the recruiting of them

chief of staff had 2 kids — sometimes women need more flexibikluty schedule

women on cnn meter love romneys answers

49

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:42 pm

man but romneys answers are dense and precise

50

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:42 pm

64

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:47 pm

romney is right about the time

obama looks like a dick

Romney — “every woman in America has the right to contraception”

Im a different person and these are different times.

65

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:47 pm

Romney is enjoying himself and i predict Barry is FREAKIN done

“Our party has been too focussed on big business for too long. I want to focus on small business”

wow that was a pretty big statement

71

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:48 pm

Nobama is so smug looking.

72

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:49 pm

More deception

73

TexasTigress 10.16.12 at 8:49 pm

It’s Bush’s fault

74

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 8:50 pm

I read long ago that Romney’s cabinet had a lot of women and he really did make consessions for them. His ex staff vouched that.

75

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:50 pm

What is this clink that you speak of :)

76

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:50 pm

Governor, You’re the last person who;s going to get tough on China.

77

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:50 pm

Now Obamas praising bush

78

mlhath 10.16.12 at 8:51 pm

Obama trying to use fear. Romney worse than Bush.

79

murphy 10.16.12 at 8:52 pm

freddie — he absolutely did. His lieut gov was a woman — Kerry Healey– guess who beat her with a dirty campaign after Romney left office after one term? David Axelrod who wrote the “hope and change” campaign for deval patrick.

80

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:52 pm

romney mentioned food stamps in an answer

failed policies

94

tec1965 10.16.12 at 8:57 pm

Romney is prosecuting him

95

honora 10.16.12 at 8:58 pm

They are letting Romney catch up and it is giving him a chance to soar! Make Obama defend the last four years, and not promise the same crap again.

96

Obama means w ell but he doesn’t understand what it takes…
Bless his heart.

Romney is taking on China:

China’s been cheating and they do intellectual property copying

Obama — I want high skilled jobs — now rhetoric

Government does not create jobs. What don’t you know !!

Romney… Good answer so far

203

murphy 10.16.12 at 9:36 pm

Romney — I care about 100% of American people. Im a guy wants to help the American peopple. My passion flows from the fact that I believe in God. I was a pastor and sat across from people who were out of work.

204

murphy 10.16.12 at 9:37 pm

great answer by Romney

205

Romney had a good closing.

207

Obama says he believes in capitalism but that we need fairness in order to have a middle class.

obama is NOT answering the question

208

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 9:38 pm

Headclunker 10.16.12 at 9:38 pm

Now we got the 47% in the closing?

Obama proving the point Romney just made. Attacking Romney. LoL

213

mlhath 10.16.12 at 9:39 pm

Romney did well. Obama is just arrogant. And smug. And coudn’t wait to get in that 47%.

214

Mitt just sealed the deal you all watch the people who continue to swing his way

224

mlhath 10.16.12 at 9:43 pm

I think Romney did well. But don’t know if he swayed any voters. Obama did better, but he would have had to.

225

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 9:45 pm

WAIT!!! Obama said he wanted to prepare from 7am til 10pm for three days because he wanted to defend his record, and this is the best he could do???? FAIL

226

Biden Obama debate bullies… Whining interrupting adolescent brats

231

tec1965 10.16.12 at 9:51 pm

the swing is already happening since debate 1 now more people see mitt is not this monster obama painted him to be with 150 million in ads ,that will keep the momentum going for mitt in my opinion

232

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 9:52 pm

Relentless attacking isn’t defending 1st or laying out plans for 2nd term.

233

mlhath 10.16.12 at 9:54 pm

tec1965: Obama did better than last time. I don’t think he ddid better than Romney in this debate. But people will buy him.

234

tec1965 10.16.12 at 9:54 pm

I agree Dances

235

“@aliciacohn: 7.2 million tweets per min during debate, Twitter estimates. First debate saw 10 million, the Twitter record for political events.”

236

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 9:55 pm

OK – Obama came back from the dead. That is a good improvement

237

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 9:55 pm

Mlhath
Agreed.

republican spin coming out of debate: THE LIE ON LIBYA

239

tec1965 10.16.12 at 9:57 pm

Oh of course they will, but most have made up their minds long ago
My point was as long as Mitt could kept pace he would keep the momentum

but then there is the media spin , and we know who that will favor
unfortunately the same folks you mentioned earlier will buy that spin

240

Priebus — Obama was doing a lot of barking but he doesnt have any bite

241

:) hHe needs to go back where he came from :)

242

murphy 10.16.12 at 9:59 pm

“the president is a man of many words but he is not a man of his words.”

priebus is good at what he does.

Well this was fun Thanks Murphy i will make it a point to be here for the next one
Have a great night Puma’s
Night Dances

244

murphy 10.16.12 at 10:03 pm

krauthammer: obama clearly had a better night. He wins on points. He got under romneys skin. Romney did really well on the general failure of the prez record. critical issue was Libya. Obama was at sea. He didnt even try to answer. truth was contaminated by the intervention of the moderator.

245

murphy 10.16.12 at 10:04 pm

night tec

246

murphy 10.16.12 at 10:16 pm

luntz swing voters in Las Vegas are saying romney won their votes. Luntz says the result is as stunning and signif as the first debate. Interesting.

247

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 10:22 pm

Murphy – Good to know.

248

murphy 10.16.12 at 10:30 pm

all about Libya on Fox

249

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 10:33 pm

i wasn’t watching fox at all / But I feel like Obama spent a lot of time either attacking or defending. Not a lot of time inspiring or talking about the future.

250

murphy 10.16.12 at 10:36 pm

Bobby Jindal on my teevee, kinda cute to see an Indian looking guy with an authentic home grown southern accent.

America is the best country ever

Nation of immigrants indeed.

252

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 10:52 pm

Night Tec. See ya next time.

253

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 10:53 pm

I remember meeting an old Italian Señora in Arkansas … What a riot to hear Italian with a thick southern accent!

254

freddiebrown 10.16.12 at 11:17 pm

I am hearing that Obama’s saying “terror attack” Obama was referring to 9/11 and not to Libya?

I believe Bobby Jindal’s being Indian like Nikki Haley, it is their Indian accent. It is very draggy… you have to be familiar with Indian accents – its a lot of rolling of the tongue.

255

RememberNovember 10.16.12 at 11:34 pm

Just watched the section of the debate about Libya again. Did not notice first time round that when Romney challenged the Rose garden remarks Obama looked straight at Candy Crowley, nodded at her and said “get the transcript” and she then interjected with her incorrect remark that Obmama did call it a terror attack in the Rose garden. That was 1, incorrect and 2, patently inappropriate. Looked to me like Obama already knew what Candy would say. And yesterday Axelrod was tweeting about leaving Candy Crowley alone ….. poor baby. Just hearing that Crowley is walking that back now – too bad the American electorate probably won’t hear that. Go listen again to Obama’s Rose Garden remarks.

256

DancesWithPumas 10.16.12 at 11:43 pm

TRANSCRIPT: 9/12/12…..Obama said “attack” not “terror attack” according to this transcript.

freddiebrown 10.17.12 at 12:49 am

DWP and RemNov… but the damage is done. Romney got smacked by both Obama and Candy Crowley. No matter how you spin it, the first cut is the deepest..

258

RememberNovember 10.17.12 at 1:26 am

Yes Dances – the only time he mentioned ‘terror’ was as a general comment after talking about 9/11.

From your link:

‘No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.’

And freddiebrown – you are SO right and doesn’t it drive you crazy ….
