This is a running conversation of debate while we watch!

Tonights debate! 13 questions from undecided voters that only the moderator only knows. She will supposedly break the rules and do follow ups and add to the conversation and questions. The questions are, will she try to stump Romney, will she be biased, will she be fair? She is a known liberal but to be fair, she is a pretty well known journalist. Now for the debate itself, a town hall setting supposedly favors Obama, thats what most people think! Romney will base his message on facts while Obama will base his message on emotions. Will Libya situation come up and will Obama be truthful about it? As the debate carries on, let us post here!

Anyone else watching the CNN stream & having problems? :x

And was it one of you who wrote the comment I read on CNN regarding the first question: "Jeremy spoke in class today"?

uh oh Obama drilling more than Bush? WOW on public lands? So now is Obama "MR. OIL MAN?"

What wrong with not giving permits to protect the environment? Romney's plan will make many parts of the United States unlivable. :evil:

Maybe they should have put a physical barrier between them.

So gas prices were very low cause the economy was about to fall? WHAT? Never heard that before!
What is Obama thinking?

I don't want a President who's going to push for oil & coal.

And I don't remember seeing gas less than $2 three years ago. :?

I wonder if my online stream is behind yours or if you just type WAY faster than I do.

Good question about tax deductions.

Paige-Roo

Gas price was highest in the summer of 2008 in the New York metropolitan area.

Here you go - Romney's 20% deduction again. Anyone making $200,000 = middleclass?

UNLIVABLE? EXPLAIN?

Wait wait - Did he just say I shouldn't worry about paying taxes on my income from interest, dividends, & capital gains?? I don't make enough money to have income from those things! How could he be that out of touch? :fp:

I think Romney's mixing his numbers. He said he'll lower taxes for lower-income people but not for higher-income people, who will still be paying 60%. It's dollars in one part of the comparison & % in the other. You can't compare the two. If the higher-income people still pay 60%, the lower-income people will still pay 40%. If the proportions remain the same & the lower-income people pay less in $, the the higher-income people will necessarily pay less in $ - so that's a contradiction.

So Romney's just not answering her question about what he'll do if the math somehow ends up not adding up like he think it will. He's just talking shit about Obama instead of answering the question.

Middle class pays %35 and lower class pays about %5
