Romney v. Obama Was a Nauseating Draw, and Both Deserve to Lose

Back in 1968, Alabama Governor George Wallace thundered that “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats.” Wallace’s famous quote sprung to mind last night as Mitt Romney and Barack Obama squared off in their second debate.

Surely there were differences between them, but to watch the debate was to see two candidates vying to say who would cut taxes the least for top earners, who would “crack down” most on China, and who believed the most in an “all of the above” energy strategy. Neither said much of import, if at all, each candidate won certain segments, but the impossible to escape conclusion was just how unimpressive both candidates were.

It was like two beginners playing tennis with each other, neither able to hit the ball over the net. Both deserve to lose.

I look forward to when the Dems agree to a debate with Rush or Ann Coulter as the moderator.

It was amazing.

Obama spent the debate not talking about what he did/didn't do in the last four years
Romney spent the debate not talking about what he would do for the next four years

Both called each other liars and both of them are.

I look forward to when neither of them are dignified with anyone caring about the mindless drivel that pours out of their mouths. Replacing Blue partisan hacks with Red partisan hacks doesn't solve the problem of having partisan hacks moderating a debate.

I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their political party but by the content of their ideas.

That is such a typical liberal thing to say.

Stole the words out of my mouth. I said almost this exact thing to Kaffis.

Going with Thor, if my president needs to have a god complex, I would rather it be from actually being a God.

Unlike the previous debate where the moderator was irrelevant, this debate was rendered irrelevant by the moderator. Once a moderator strays into the territory of correcting either participant on subject matter, it's no longer a debate.

Thor was not born in the US and is not able to run for President.

What if he does all his presidential decisions within his Donald Blake "other self"? Blake was a US born Dr. Issues an act of war as Blake, bamn smack the staff on the ground and fly off to war as Thor!

I can't remember...wasn't Donald Blake just a person that Odin created to humble Thor? IN this day and age...they would find something fishy about him.

Cap is the safe and best bet. War vet, never quit attitude and has off the scale leadership abilities. I also doubt he would abuse his position to turn a profit for himself.

I'll take Steve.

Even a pre-Emma Scott works for me ... most days, but I suspect that Ororo Munroe would likely make the best of the bunch.

In this Civil War ...

I'm with Storm.

I'm almost certain I should be offended here, Farsky ...

I couldn't vote for Cap due to him being so out of touch. I mean really, do we need a 40's era dinosaur setting policy in today's modern society?

Give me Tony over Cap any day. Billionaire playboy philanthropist genius scientist over Soldier... um... soldier.
