    did you?

    you are uncovering all manner of hypocrisy. nice job. that people are hypocrites is not really a political issues. its a point about the flaws of people.

    why not? i thought you said before that he has something to hide? you dont think he has anyting to hide? then why wont he show them?

    based on what he said during the debate, or the forcefulness with which he said it? do you agree with him more or do you just mean he put on a better performance?

    everyone says he won. my liberal friends i watched the debate with were positive he won, then i was surprised afterwards to see every media outlet agree. i know its political theater, but if i were liberal i would say he lost, because i dont agree with his policies.

    i think he won because he favored slightly better policy.

    when people say he won, that has two different meanings i guess. one, did he present his side better, or two, is his side actually better. i dont care about number one.

    i dunno exactly what you are talking about or if anyone alleged that they are, but people in the south are not more partisan than liberal tree huggers. thats why it is pointless to rattle on about one side or the other.

    Very interesting question and I've never considered that angle. I had it on as background noise assuming it was going to suck as usual then was interested bc Romney made some cogent points and Obama looked like les giving a halftime interview.

    But yes I agreed with what romney said much moreso and was shocked at his ability to debate. I thought for sure he sucked beforehand or I simply believed too much of the liberal media.

    Right and I pointed out you singling out the deep souths biases exposes your own. And of course I was right. You'll just have to reassess how objective you wrongly assumed you were.

    i actually thought the debate was so deeply policy-based that it was hard to identify who won based purely on content. one guy says this percent of that will pay for this, the other guy says that thats true but only if you account for this with the money from that, and the calculations are done when this other thing is considered. one guy says he can reduce spending by X if he cuts Y, i have no idea if that is true. so lots of the time during the debate i have no idea if they are asserting something that can be accomplished or whatever.

    i do know i favor smaller government. and for the most part i think romney is more likely to reduce the size of government. he wont, he will probably grow the government, but i would hope he would grow it slightly less than obama. also paul ryan says the right things about spending cuts. that doesnt mean i have faith the he will do those things, just that he is at least saying them. obama doesnt even bother to pretend he is gona shrink the government.

    Romney is a huge RINO and would surprise a lot of folks.

    Who?

    You mean other than eliminating 650,000 government jobs since taking office?
