[QUOTE=icemaz;38068387]So I'm not from America but is this whole, sitting on chairs then getting up to talk like we're in some shit upper class rap battle thing normal? It's weird as heck.[/QUOTE] It's called "Town Hall", and it's to make them seem like real people.
The moderator let him go way over his time
The woman that asked the question looks a fair bit disgusted at romney.
See, this question demonstrates what I don't like about debates like this. Candidates, regardless of the position they're vying for, need to stop relying on personal anecdotes and start talking about EXACTLY what they are or are not going to do in regards to the issue presented.
HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW THAT ROMNEY WAS GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS? Good thing he says it every other minute! I can't seem to remember that!
TIMES UP ROM.
[QUOTE=Fort83;38068416]I don't disagree but it seems Romney's is more blatantly bullshit[/QUOTE] Romney just uses more fake specifics. The longer an answer, the less likely it's true.
Women lost 580,000 jobs? How many men lost jobs in that same time? Why is he talking to the girl like she's a child????
Romney derailed the discussion about equal pay for women
Contraceptives OHBOYHEREWEGO
TIME IS FUCKING UP. SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
Got something to say TylerB? You know, instead of just rating people dumb?
What's with these stories. Give the facts instead of saying "well when I was X I did this blah blah blah" No numbers, no good facts, just things they did before they became runner up's to president.
carries the question to healthcare

What's the point of these time limits if both of them won't respect it?
obama is destroying on women's issues, his points are much stronger than romney's
If women are increasingly the bread winners in the family, doesn't that contradict the argument that they are getting treated less fairly?
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;38068436] Why is he talking to the girl like she's a child????[/QUOTE] Both candidates talk to the people like their children this is nothing new.
oh my god that question
"How are you different from George W. Bush?" Oh shit.
JESUS CHRIST ROMNEY SHUT UP ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU COULD TALK AGAIN
THE TIMEKEEPERS ARE WORKING.
[QUOTE=SockFC;38068460]What's the point of these time limits if both of them won't respect it?[/QUOTE] Moderators haven't enforced them, so they go over the limit. Moderator should be able to cut mics when times up. That way they get the the point, not sit there and move around the question.
Stop bitching about your timing.
[QUOTE=SockFC;38068474]"How are you different from George W. Bush?" Oh shit.[/QUOTE] and he avoided it
I can't stand hearing Mitt Romney. He has such a patronizing tone like, "I will make your lives better! Don't ask me how you fucking plebs!"
Obama's camera is shaking. I think his emotions have taken over the cameras.
Oh boy. Here we go.
Here comes the question that will make Romney cry.
