I refuse to watch the debates


Romney’s policy proposals favor the rich, destroy the environment, make health care worse, put American foreign interests in danger, harm basic rights, favor torture, hurt unions, are cruel to immigrants, and fail to provide the minimal respect for women’s rights.

Obama is the opposite.

It is difficult to believe that people actually base their votes on how candidates perform on a short debate in an artificial setting.  I don’t care how brilliant they are or how many mistakes either candidate makes.  We know their proposals, past statements, and behavior.  Winning or losing debates does not qualify or disqualify a candidate running for president of the United States, although it might qualify you for a prize in the college debate club.

  1. Those of us who pay attention to what is said and done by the President and Romney would agree with you whole wholeheartedly. However there are people who do not and they only watch commercials and see some of the debates.

    My wife and did watch the debate and we both felt that the President did not do a very good job in this debate. He left Romney get away with way too much. I don't know what his thought process was but it wasn't great. We were disappointed. I hope the President gets more aggressive in the remaining debates. If he doesn't--we may all be in deep ****.
