Obama is the first Democratic president, in my memory, that has a stronger foreign policy than his Republican competitor. This is going to upend my entire view of both parties.

do you remember W.?  :huh:

the china xenophobia on both sides is mindless

Well yeah, but he was borderline retarded on all counts, so I guess I don't count him on anything.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Obama says China's an adversary.  I spooged.

Mittens says China doesn't have to be an adversary, they can be a partner.  He's lost my vote.

:rolleyes: ;)

Barack Obama is winning this debate by being George W. Bush.

Oh, a fellow Jew.  Ezra light up the Jew Signal again?  :P

You people need to get on the same fucking page with those godless yellow heathens.

Yeah and that's not just the noses and Lefty politics.  There's also finance and Hollywood.

Where is AmScip to bring in the Gary Johnson angle? We need a third party view on this.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

"I think we all love teachers."  :lol:

No question that Romney came off looking really old-fashioned in this debate. Well, and the last one, too, though not as badly.

Obama owned this debate. I wonder if it's enough.

I think obama won. Romney's not a foreign policy guy and that shows. Will say Romney did a good job of not getting pissy with the moderator when he had a couple of opportunities to be. Laughing it off makes him look much better

When romney declared his love for teachers I had a flashback to "I love big bird..." and worried about his comments on teachers unions.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

i guess i missed languish during the whole OWS thing- it was nice to get the message of inequality out there but the actual protests in NYC were tiny (and not particularly jewish that I know of, if that's what you're getting at)

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Does the Romney clan, all three generations, go everywhere together on mass ?  :hmm: 

I assume Obama's kids are at home because they have to go to school tomorrow.
