Too bad he murdered the facts and has some explaining to do today. Poor mitt.
He's available at +260 today. Go for it pf. Hope you bet it all.
I can't bet on Romney, he's not gonna win the election.
Crushing someone in a debate doesn't change the minds of simple sheep. The American voting public is pretty stupid.
Hope and change, baby.:shrug:

Stevie you around? Now here is a classic post. This fellow has a union card and votes republican and calling people sheep. This is truly what you mean when you say "this is what we are up against". This is equivalent of an oil worker voting democrat. The CEO of Exon Mobil voting democrat. You seriously can't make shit like this up.

Do you guys always just read right wing articles? Not that hard to find. Do some work.
Haha this is funny.. I wasn't trying to trap you or anything.. I really didn't see it. My 2 yr old and pregnant wife are both sick so I was busy with them and only saw highlights of President O looking down and defeated.
So I'm asking you again what specifically did he lie about... I'm seeing this all over the web but nobody seems to offer a direct quote. Please help.
Thanks

Here are the five biggest. Now i knew three of them easily when i saw the debate. I doubt this means anything to ya because you will just blow it off but since u say u didn't watch it i will take your word for it. What disturbed me about this debate is one guy is out and out lying while the other doesn't challenge the lies. Typical democrats bullshit that pisses people off. So in my opinion Romney won the debate because he freely lied and Obama let him like a jackass. In Obama's defense he did call mitt on what i thought was his biggest lie and that is the 5 trillion dollar tax cut. 20 percent across the baord and this prick will not tell how he is gonna pay for it. Cuts to PBS and some other bullshit :mj07:
Mitt Romney turned in a polished performance in last night's presidential debate ? and revealed himself to be an accomplished and unapologetic liar. In an evening where he sought to slice and dice the president with statistics, Romney baldly misrepresented his own policy prescriptions, made up numbers to fit his attacks and buried clear contrasts with the president under a heaping pile of horseshit.
Here are mendacious Mitt's five most outrageous statements:
1. "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut." Romney flatly lied about the cost of his proposal to cut income-tax rates across the board by another 20 percent (undercutting even the low rates of the Bush tax cuts). Independent economists at the Tax Policy Center have shown that the price tag for those cuts is $360 billion in the first year, a cost that extrapolates to $5 trillion over a decade.
2. "I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans." Romney has claimed that he will pay for his tax cuts by closing a variety of loopholes and deductions. The factual problem? Romney hasn't named a single loophole he's willing to close; worse, there's no way to offset $5 trillion in tax cuts even if you get rid of the entire universe of deductions for the wealthy that Romney has not put off the table (like the carried interest loophole or the 15 percent capital gains rate.) The Tax Policy Center report concludes that Romney's proposal would create a "net tax cut for high-income tax payers and a net tax increase for lower- and or middle-income taxpayers." Moreover, some of Romney's tax cuts are micro-targeted at American dynasties, particularly his proposal to eliminate the estate tax, which would reduce his own sons' tax burden by tens of millions of dollars.
3. "We've got 23 million people out of work or [who have] stopped looking for work in this country." Romney is lying for effect. The nation's crisis of joblessness is bad, but not 23 million bad. The official figure is 12.5 million unemployed. An additional 2.6 million Americans have stopped looking for jobs. How does Romney gin up his eye-popping 23 million figure? He counts more than 8 million wage earners who hold part-time jobs as also being "out of work."
4. Obamacare "puts in place an unelected board that's going to tell people ultimately what kind of treatments they can have." Romney is reviving Sarah Palin's old death panels lie here. Obamacare does establish an Independent Payment Advisory Board to help constrain the growth of Medicare spending. The body has no authority to dictate the practices of the private insurance marketplace. And the law also makes explicit that this body is banned from rationing care or limiting medical benefits to seniors.
5. "Pre-existing conditions are covered under my plan." In the biggest whopper of the night, Romney suggested that his health care proposal would guarantee coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions. This is just not true. Under Romney, if you have a pre-existing condition and have been unable to obtain insurance coverage or if you have had to drop coverage for more than 90 days because you lost your job or couldn't afford the premiums, you would be shit out of luck. Insurance companies could continue to discriminate and deny you coverage, as even Romney's top adviser conceded after the debate was over.
