Holy crap. First, if you were looking for some sort of rousing surprise, you got one. But not where you might have been looking for it. Romney tattooed Obama with his record, which was his strongest point of attack and a perfectly-valid one. Obama failed to lead, but he had little to lead with given the 4 years of history. The dissembling coming from Obama on the Libya attacks, in particular, were outrageous lies. But Romney told his share of whoppers as well in that he had no point of defense when it came to offshoring jobs and his record of doing it himself. Both of these clowns got an "F-" from me on the college education questions; both were full-throated in defense of more and more debt ladled up on our youth. Putting a thousand new financial******vans on the streets of America to screw our youth with is not my idea of a plan for higher education, but it is what both Mitt and Barack offered up tonight. If you're anywhere from 15 to 25 and wanted a reason to riot you got one this evening no matter who wins in November. Neither had a thing to say about actually taking care of the deficit and budget but that shouldn't surprise, and the moderator was braindead as well. One well-placed interjection about 10% of the economy being deficit spending and if you stop GDP contracts by that same 10% would have led to some very awkward moments in that room, but neither candidate would go there and the moderator didn't either, being in the tank with both the banksters and Obama. That sucked. The back-and-forth was mostly a good excuse to get drunk -- right up until near the end. But then Romney did himself some serious damage, and it was self-inflicted. The issue turned to guns and Obama, as a Democrat, actually came off as more-moderate than Romney did on the 2nd Amendment! Mitt got hit square in the face with his Massachusetts record as governor; he was reminded that as Governor he said: "Deadly assault weapons have no place in Massachusetts", Romney said, at a bill signing ceremony on July 1 with legislators, sportsmen's groups and gun safety advocates. "These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people." - July 1st, 2004 -- Mitt Romney He had every opportunity to repudiate that position and take a strong position of defense of the 2nd Amendment and instead he not only confirmed his previous statement he doubled down and used it as a good example of working across the aisle to find consensus! In doing so he disqualified himself for the office of President of the United States as he said, in plain language, that he would if elected ignore the Constitution in favor of "consensus." The Constitution is not about consensus; it is about unalienable rights. Consensus is about two wolves and a sheep holding vote on what's for dinner; unalienable rights are about demanding that the wolves not eat the sheep. What Mitt Romney said tonight is that if he can find consensus on any issue The Constitution is damned to Hell. Down this road you are left with a demand to turn over your guns to the government and your only option is whether you are going to do so with them nicely cool at room temperature or smoking hot (and empty.) Neither man defended unalienable rights this evening. But those who believe that Mittens will somehow effort to defend the 2nd Amendment got a rude awakening this evening, and under a Romney administration you'll have a President seeking consensus on how to take your guns away. Thanks for telling the people the truth Mittens. I wonder how many Americans were listening. The short version from tonight? Our nation is screwed with either of these clowns.
