Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIf I am one of the undecided idiots who cannot make up their mind who to vote for, and I see the
debate last night where contradictions and lies go unanswered; but since the "undecideds" do not realize what are the contradictions and lies, because they are so stupid, which is why they are undecided,
That is the reason why you don't let lies and contradictions go unaswered, and you respond immediately while the opportunity is there

(20,885 posts)I am still fearful of the vote counting and the voter suppression. I wonder of Obama will even have the opportunity to make up for this setback. Romney was full of shit, but surprisingly masterful at it.
And I'm not going to overestimate the intelligence of the public.
This has me depressed.

(25 posts)Obama played 4 quarters of prevent defense.
Romney blitzed and lied all over the place but fortunes favor the bold.
Half of dimwitted Americans will vote on confidence that Romney showed. Too many Americans will
choose the alph male whether he's lying or not.
Sad but true.
Saturate the Battleground states for the next 30 days please DNC.

(28,151 posts)First of all I am glad the President is an old pro and knew better than to go on the defense. Romney did a few times and looked desperate for it.
Obama answered some of the bullshit but did not let Mittens frame the debate.
I'm just glad you and other DUers bleeting similar thoughts weren't in any way advisers to the campaign.

This isn't a chess game, they screwed up
When you are handed a wealth of lies and contradictions, and you don't point out at the time that your opponent has been contradicting himself, why not?

(90,348 posts)...there LIV leanings.
You're spot on that it can't be done unless a lie is addressed...
Behavirial science is a lie left unchallenged becomes the truth to those who are tryin to decide.
The LABELING of the lie has to be firm and outright, no equivocating or going back and forth...call it what it is and tell why it's a lie.

(92,325 posts)be professional and still point out romney's lies and contradictions with the simple statement, "Mr. Rommney, you are now saying exactly the oppositie of what you have been saying"
Gosh, that wasn't too difficult, and was it that "childish"?

and I can prove your accusations are false. Look at my posts here through the years. They are prodominately pro-Obama
You do a search through the archive
Gosh, that isn't too difficult, if someone makes a false charge, come right back with facts

(12,081 posts)I was calling you out for using the word idiot and did imply that you are childish. Calling someone childish is just as juvenile as calling someone an idiot, so I do apologize for that.

(19,841 posts)--meaning that you are considering the 2 candidates equally, then maybe you should go over to the Bombney camp and give them some congratulations instead of badgering us here with your "indecision" and doubts...
Go support the guy with all the answers...if that's what you admire. Get off the fence.

(12,081 posts)I am not undecided. I just think that calling undecideds idiots is not what reasonable, rational people do. But maybe you're right. I have been thinking about becoming an independent. At least they are reasonable and rational. I have voted for a democrat in every single race every since 1994, but more and more I do think more like an independent and next election I think I will change my affiliation. Thank you. I know one thing for sure. This website is definitely not the place for me. I have left this website before. I felt empowered by the tv anchor in Wisconsin to come back and not be bullied, but you cannot stand up to cyber bullies. It is never ending. The only way to deal with cyber bullies is to get off the internet.

(19,841 posts)but since you jumped in...
I don't give a rat's ass if you become an Independent. Be the Undecided Princess who can't make up her mind when there are two crystal clear choices at this point (not all the range of choices we liberals might want, but it's a two-party system). The wavering Princess has to choose between a) the slick lying rich two-faced bastard who will screw her and b) the civilized, loyal, big-hearted guy trying to do the right thing for the good of all--ie. the REAL man. The Princess really shouldn't take too long deciding, but she's young and impressionable and makes mistakes...
Didn't Monty Python cover this a long time ago?

(92,325 posts)this, at least according to the polls
Nobody at DU is undecided, we know the differences
As far as your jumping to conclusions that somehow I said I was undecided, I NEVER DID
Read more carefully
I said IF, the key word is IF
as far as you accusing me of badgering I am presenting a discussion WHY the debates are important to answer falsehoods and lies, because the undecideds don't know
marions ghost
(19,841 posts)Sorry the If and the I ran together... my bad myself
Perhaps mate, you could have taken the "you" response a little more impersonally. OK jitters, OK. (Sheesh) Relax.
Anyway look who it attracted--one of the real live Undecideds you were talking about...an excellent example--who got my knee-jerk opinion, FWIW.
Peace love butterflies & gekkos

(35,773 posts)Most of them will watch the ads that Obama will put out this week showing Romney's lies and rudeness.
It's called letting the bozo hang himself.
