Do not get into a numbers argument with a liar and a con man (Mitt Romney).

[gordianot]

This is the hallmark of Rmoney's success in amassing his fortune, he is truly a professional. If you do step into this trap be prepared to be the bad cop when you call him on it. This should get nasty and needs to be face to face.

1. Spot on!

Nicely put!!!!

2. I think that as this goes on Obama will go from presidential to political.

Also, Joe Biden will rip out Paul Ryan's trachea on stage.

3. I'm worried Joe is going to over-do it now, trying to FIX IT for the boss, hah!

Erm...

5. Biden's game plan is probably even more well-developed than the Presidents.

I expect Joe to bring his A game to the debate just like he did at the convention.

4. "...we ought to bring the tax rates down, and I do, both for corporations and for individuals."

That quote alone should sink him. But people think they will be wealthy corporations some day.

6. These are clinical symptoms

Quite obvious that Romney's behavior is clinical.
Disingenuous, shifty, unempathicl and without
an identity of his own, we have to pretend that someone who would have caused an uproar when the US had a real press corps deserves our attention. What nonsense! Utter bollocks. This is outrageous but we're so desensitized by now it escapes our attention. It's intentional. Endless lying doesn't make you believe the lies, it makes you listless, exhausted, unable to care any more.

We are being given an object lesson about the loss of freedom of the press. Corporate stooges who read from teleprompters are not reporters, just overpaid actors. (Lehrer demonstrated the falsity of describing these events as debates.)

"Public" television, in case you haven't been paying attention to those end credits, is paid for by corporate big-wigs who get tax breaks for that support. Of course they have no say about content or issues that affect their pocketbooks, right? (Pull the other one.) Romney wants to get rid of anything "public" that stands in the way of
a complete regression to a heaven on earth that never existed. Pursuit of perfection. Just another telltale that confirms we are dealing with a very weird situation. Two trillion more for the MIC?
Are you kidding? Why hasn't anybody said what that means for the defense companies based in Utah and Colorado? One more Wild West cowboy yahoo who is sucking up to the extraction lobby.
Clean coal? Bullshit. Besides, the grid's already been converted to natural gas. It's cheaper.
