Debate #3, the Final Chapter

I rest my case.

What case? I already made up my mind. Weeks ago as a matter of fact. I guess you think you are on some kind of crusade to change people's mind. Guess what...nobody takes you that seriously.

And it's getting harder and harder to take you seriously tower. When did you go over to the dark side?

Judging from the daily garbage, outrage-of-the-day silliness that still gets posted on a daily basis you would think BOTH sides are on some sort of "crusade."

I made up my mind--and mailed in my ballot--a long time ago too...

Your guess is wrong. I am not on a crusade.

I have no thoughts that anything I or anyone else here posts is going to change anyone's mind.

I do enjoy the banter, however. It's like being a member of big dysfunctional family. I hope they DON'T take me seriously. I certainly don't take anyone on here seriously.

Mitt Romney's Foreign Policy Debate Performance Tailored To Woo Women, Independent Voters

NEW YORK -- If some conservatives could describe Mitt Romney's performance during Monday night's debate in only two words, it would be these: focus group. Throughout the night, they agreed, the Republican nominee seemed to be throwing out catchwords and phrases designed to appeal to the independent voters and women who might decide the election.

Jim Geraghty of the National Review gave the edge to Romney, but still said, "I think Romney’s answers were tailor-made to wow a focus group, and I don’t mean that entirely complimentary."

Among a National Journal group of "Walmart moms," "President Obama scored a decisive win with the swing voters," the magazine reported. Romney's answers seemed "hypocritical" and canned.

Among voters pooled by Frank Luntz -- who also asked them how Mitt Romney had done on economic issues, during the foreign policy debate -- the vast majority likewise went with Obama as the winner.

Dang...If you can't even get a Frank Luntz group to drink the Kool-Aid, you're in trouble. I think the idea was that they tried to set the bar so low for RMoney that as long as he didn't drool on-camera and soil his shirt, it was considered a "success."

The only thing I am taking seriously is the fact that a lot of people plan to vote for Romney who don't seem to have a clue who he is. The chameleon has convinced voters that he is exactly who they want him to be.....yet he has morphed himself so many times no one really knows who he is or how he would govern. "pig in a poke" is the phrase that comes to mind.

I think Romney sees the presidency as the ultimate rich guy's "trophy." If he wins, it proves a rich guy can buy his way into office, if he keeps at it as long as Romney has. He will be the richest American ever to ascend to the presidency and the president with the most money in offshore accounts.

I've said on numerous occasions that he doesn't really KNOW why he wants to be president...It's just the next trophy for his resume...

Wait, I thought his base was people on welfare who are too dumb to get a job?

Good one Raees. To reply to that with an arrogant, condescending one liner. Great dry humor.
