what was going through Michelle's mind during

[De Dragon]

too bad we couldn't have similar debates locally
our idiots are not capable of answering issues directly
and worse yet it would be hard to find a serious no-nonsense moderator

Wasn't such a debate supposed to come off in 2010 with Kamla and Manning before the elections, but Manning said no or something along those lines???

EDIT: My memory was right...

Would be interesting if the PM wold agree to a debate now. Where Rowley? Then again, it'd prolly degenerate into wajang behaviour and White Oak induced "been adviseds"

[sMASH]

for some odd reason i feel colvert invert would be an entertaining debater for the PNM.
the only one with enough skill on the unc's side would be anil.

but, it is true that local debates would focus on one-up-manship more than actual facts and logic. yes, in debating ur points need to be delivered in a way to seem witty and steer the tendencies of the audience to your side, but in trinidad, the average citizen does not challenge the presenter to present better more logical and factual statements, when they perceive that they are being fed with bull... we do not press them to be genuine but accept the brush aside.
that is why ramlogan got vex at kalipersad, cause kalipersad pressed him to provide answers on matters. ramlogan would have been accustomed to delivering one volley of bafflement statements and moving on, but could not adapt to being roped back into addressing the issue.

i watch that video, and i thinking that that is kamla's actual attitude.

Part 2:

Biden....is..... killing....... him.

[sMASH]

but paul ryan was arguing none sense. probably romney delivered it better, but the republican strategies are ridiculous.

what sealed the deal was when the fact was made known that the republicans were making requests for the same help systems that they are against.

even if obama was out charactered that first time by romney, all he has to do is just be a bit more on the offensive the next and the republicans would fall. i really don't see the republicans getting this election on party merit this rounds.
for them to get it, the democrats need to be totally stupid in their approach.

but for some people into conspiracy theories, for some things in the world to happen, the republicans would need to win. so, maybe obama may really throw this election in order that the republicans get the office.

[eViLwOn]

I was impressed by Biden's ferocity during the debate but then again he had too given his Boss' pathetic showing during the first debate.
Hope Obama buries Romney in round two next week Tuesday!

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

all the US polls are saying Ryan won

did they watch the same debate we did?

[shogun]

^
Ent....

Something about he interrupted too many times, kept smiling and was too animated. Funny they didn't say that about Romney last week?

[conspiracy theory]I'm beginning to think a lot of the foreign media, (even those that are supposedly leaning liberal), secretly don't want Obama to win.[/conspiracy theory]

That and/or the fact that there a lots of stupid/gullible Americans.

[eViLwOn]

This Romney/Ryan ticket is pushing a Pro-life agenda that would see any woman undergoing an abortion being charged will murder. They are in effect taking away a woman's right to make decision regarding her body and placing the power to decide in the hands of basically white pro-republican males in the supreme court. If this ticket wins, say goodbye to Roe vs Wade!!!

[shogun]

You know things heated when you need Sean Penn and Kid Rock to do a P.S.A.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ that was EPIC beyond proportion

[zoom rader]

Romney is not tobe trusted, he has offshore bank accounts to which he has not paid US taxes on.
He owns a number of companies in china (cheap labour and no US taxes)
He will aslo be a puppet for Israel.

[shogun]

And take two....

[Dizzy28]

Romney just got the Canadian vote!

[shogun]

That's all he'll get.

He looks nervous, jittery. Obama's on top in this debate, fur sure, IMO.

[pugboy]

obama get a nice one with the current price of oil/gas

[shogun]

^Agreed.

[shogun]

lol. @ Romney's self pwn, over the Benghazi attack.

[trini mk5]

Obama trampled over romney in that debate

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Fox News is kix yes

they cutting the clips short to make Romney look like he was winning the arguments.

eh heh?

*dares to click over to FOX, for a few extra lulz*

[whyteliver]

fox news always put me in a good humour.....

[AGENT RORO]

The final uppercut was the mention of the "47%" Romney spoke of in the $50,000 a plate dinner. Obama ethered him.

[brickman]

Republicans going as far as to say cnn lied for obama & set up romney to fail.As for fox news,if you say anything to defend obama you get fired,know of a few ex-employees it happened to.
