POTUS Debate II: The Empire Strikes Back at the Wrath of Electric Mittensaloo

Mitt getting all squishy on hiring women

Damn, did Mittens just dis his own state?

Sounded more like he admitted the truth that governors are not gods.

Cheap energy is dead, Americans face up to this global reality, they're are 10s of millions of new Chinese cars competing for that gas you put in your cars.

Would any candidate really risk saying that.

I really don't know why they can't level with the American populace about that.  I think they could grasp it.

[mongers]

It's interesting that both candidates time and again return to the same old talking points and 'statistics'; are they stale after 1+ years or that focused on the swing demographics and the corresponding stock appeals/promises ?

I'm pretty sure whore pills won't be in the new employee orientation packets.

I hate that statistic. From what I understand, that 72% isn't that women are paid $0.72 to the $1 for doing the same job as men. It's that women, on average, make that much less than men. Well, that's because women take lower paying jobs. Who's fault is that??

[CountDeMoney]

Did you make those potatoes?

[garbon]

Obama tried to play the Amy Wambach?

[mongers]

Holy shit Romney has just moved America to energy independence during the actual debate. 

[CountDeMoney]

Mittens loses major style points for ignoring the question, and answering the last one.

Edit: Damn, Obama dropped "candidate" on the Bishop.

[merithyn]

Did you make those potatoes?

Nope. Made chili instead. Would make your delicate tummy curdle, my friend. Might want to snuggle up with your soup and stay quiet.

That is almost never pointed out.  It's almost like a myth that people desperately want to believe in.  Good on ya for realizing the truth

I blame women trying to have it both, careers and rug rats.  Can't have both.

They could if the dads would step it up a bit.

Obama doing a lot better than the first debate (which was pretty much a guarantee) but overall I think it's a draw so far.
