Dear Conservative Friends,

Your boy Mitt got played, and you haven't figured it out yet.

Mitt showed up loaded for bear to say "xyz". The problem? He's been telling his base "abc". Check the ads prepared and run today by Obama. They are cameos of Mitt on the stump saying "abc", contrasted with his debate pitch, "xyz". Mitt couldn't have created better etch-a-sketch material even if he was paid to do so.

Mr. Obama pulled a rope – a – dope. See comments by S. E. Cupp, a well known Republican journalist, and others, who commented that the Presidents’ reticence was suspiciously obvious.

Now in the subsequent debates on foreign and domestics topics, Mitt will be called out, and trampled on foreign affairs. Thanks Mitt for using your etch-a-sketch!!!

Great comment... just not true.

"GOP BEEN NO HELP TO OBAMA IN CREATING JOBS"

You're complaining about an impossibility. The State cannot create jobs. Redistribute is not synonymous with create.

Since the State cannot create wealth by definition, how would it follow that it can create jobs?

Jose, you say the Republicans are not helping Obama "create" jobs, but as the President talks about, everybody has to compromise, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are compromising. One of my favorite things about Governor Romney, is that when he was the Governor of Massachusetts he had to work with a state legislature that was made up of 87% Democrats (I may have gotten that number slightly wrong.) Governor Romney will compromise unlike what seems to be everybody else in Washington. Personally, I probably won't agree with many things that Romney will work with Democrats on, but in modern day Washington that's what we need. In the debate Mr. Obama talked about ObamaCare as a "bi-partisan idea." What he failed to realize is not a single Republican and I believe it was 13 Democrats didn't vote for it. At least Romney, if elected, will work with Democrats unlike almost everybody else in Washington.

Indeed. Clinton had the benefit of the internet expansion, $10 oil and genuine productivity gains in the private sector. Lefties like to pretend that tax policy and job creation exist in a vacuum. Jobs expanded despite his tax policy.

Tom D,
The empirical evidence is clear -- the Bush tax cuts DID NOT CREATE ECONOMIC GROWTH and the Bush tax cuts INCREASED UNEMPLOYMENT at an unprecedented pace. These are the data, not mere political rhetoric. Before the Bush tax cuts, when Clinton was President and in the early years of Bush 43, the nation's finances were in the best condition that they've been in in the last 25 years. What happened to the good economy? The Bush tax cuts coupled with successive "supplemental" appropriations so that the Administration could carry out its military excursions without making the public have to pay for them!
It's hard to understand the logic of those pushing for keeping these tax cuts permanent. They keep talking about creating jobs, but don't talk about how those very tax cuts caused massive unemployment nor do they explain what will change the economic environment to turn this job killer into a job maker. The logic doesn't support these people, instead they seem to have just political posturing and sloganing.
The people behind keeping these tax cuts permanent seem to be either those benefiting from the tax cuts, the new robber-barons, or those who are just following slogans of unscrupulous political hacks.
The argument for keeping these tax cuts has no empirical data nor any sound logic behind it. It's plain and simple political nonsense.

Token Lefty: "the Bush tax cuts DID NOT CREATE ECONOMIC GROWTH and the Bush tax cuts INCREASED UNEMPLOYMENT at an unprecedented pace."

Yes, stealing less money from productive people is a bad thing.

Attention lefty, tax policy and job creation do not exist in a vacuum.

Please explain how tax cuts cause unemployment.

The Geeeetar man knows how to copy and paste. Well done Geeeetar man. What's your next trick?

ROTFLMFAO! Wow - now that is a whopper.

That was to take notes. Both candidates are allowed to take notes... and they both were.

You are 100% wrong. Paper and pen were already on the podium.

Brad, I'd like to be on your side on this, but that video was debunked. The truth is that it was his handkerchief that he pulled out and place on the podium.

Fox news backed it up by stating that they were embarrassed by the overwhelming audacity he could show when cheating and lying.

Same report on Drudge.

Yes, politics aside, vote for this politician. Wait, what?

Guido McGinty - ok your right - that was funny :)

One can not plagiarize ones self, ya Guido.

"One can not plagiarize ones self, ya Guido."

So Barry has two things going for him. He's not a plagiarist and his supporters are dim bulbs.

Guido... You accuse someone of plagiarizing their own words...and you think his followers are dim bulbs? That's a laugh.

From mark steyn ... Will Big bird ever leave the government nest? The Corporation of Public Broadcasting receives nearly half-a-billion dollars a year from taxpayers, which it disburses to PBS stations, who, in turn, disburse it to Big Bird and Jim Lehrer. I don't know what Big Bird gets, but, according to Sen. Jim DeMint, the President of Sesame Workshop, Gary Knell, received in 2008 a salary of $956,513. In that sense, Big Bird and Sen. Harry Reid embody the same mystifying phenomenon: they've been in "public service" their entire lives and have somehow wound up as multimillionaires.
Mitt's decision to strap Big Bird to the roof of his station wagon and drive him to Canada has prompted two counter-arguments from Democrats: 1) half a billion dollars is a mere rounding error in the great sucking maw of the federal budget, so why bother? 2) everybody loves Sesame Street, so Mitt is making a catastrophic strategic error. On the latter point, whether or not everybody loves Sesame Street, everybody has seen it, and every American under 50 has been weaned on it. So far this century it's sold nigh on a billion bucks' worth of merchandising sales (that's popular toys such as the Subsidize-Me-Elmo doll). If Sesame Street is not commercially viable, then nothing is, and we should just cut to the chase and bail out everything.

And for the next debate, instead of a candidate slumped at the lectern like a muppet whose puppeteer has gone out for a smoke, maybe Elmo's guy could shove his arm up the back of the presidential suit.

Yet, amidst the otherwise total wreckage of obma's performance, the Democrats seemed to think that Mitt's assault on Sesame Street was a misstep from whose tattered and ruined puppet-stuffing some hay is to be made. "WOW!!! No PBS!!! WTF how about cutting congress's stuff leave big bird alone," tweeted Whoopi Goldberg. Even the president mocked Romney for "finally getting tough on Big Bird" – not in the debate, of course, where such dazzling twinkle-toed repartee might have helped, but a mere 24 hours later, once the rapid-response team had directed his speechwriters to craft a line, fly it out to a campaign rally and load it into the prompter, he did deliver it without mishap.

The small things are not unimportant – and not just because, when "small" is defined as anything under 11 figures, "small" is a big part of the problem. If Americans can't muster the will to make Big Bird leave the government nest, they certainly will never reform Medicare. Just before the debate in Denver, in the general backstage melée, a commentator pointed out Valerie Jarrett, who is officially "Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs," a vital position which certainly stimulates the luxury-length business-card industry. Not one in 100,000 Americans knows what she looks like, but she declines to take the risk of passing among the rude peasantry without the protection of a Secret Service detail. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has a private jet to fly him home from Washington every weekend.

The math never adds up with these creatures. Best to limit their power and influence in our lives.

I was open minded going into the debate. I expected Obama to tell the truth and me more motivated than he was. I hoped for Romney to tell the truth and expected him to perform well, as he did in many primary debates. Well, Obama told the truth and Romney lied though his teeth. He dismissed everything he's been saying about the $$5T tax cut, no coverage for Pre existing conditions etc. So, the winner in style: Romney. The winner in truthiness: clearly Mr. Obama.
Romney lies will catch up with him, in about 10 days. Enjoy the bounce.

You mean an empty highchair

Just back from London...many Brits asked me if this election is as big a circus as it looks. My only response...you bet...the circus rolls into town every four years and this year...Mitt Romney (BTW... they call him Twit) is the star biggest clown. They all laughed in agreement.
Just watched the debate this morning. Twit was as polished as they get. And why not...his handlers have been grooming and massaging him for weeks now. So polished and empty... and skillful of lying. He is a shoe in for President of Stepford. Barack was capable of much more...makes one wonder if this was not a trap set on the Romster. I mean...the Twit must have thought something was up. Who wouldn't. Well...I hope it haunts the Romster and his club in the quiet hours. Looking forward to 'The Greatest Show on Earth' in rings 2 and 3 coming soon.

Abigail...only empty heads see empty chairs. Face it, Ab, you are a dunce.
