It's over. The only thing to do. Nixon resigned under far less reasons. You, should be tried for treason for trying to overthrow the government. You ARE the enemy from within.

I've been watching the video of the debate this morning.

If the debate was compared to a prison-yard fight, Mitt would be saying "Bend over, Bam-Bam, you're my b**** now."

The local Fox station’s morning program took 8 minutes to mention the debate and basically called it a tie

It was a heavy dose of realism into how they think and that facts (LIBYA!! Coverup by media!! ARE YA KIDDING ME?!!) really have no place in their universe.

Turns out I wasn’t properly suited up for the experience, and it’s gonna take awhile for the effects to wear off.

After the Libya debacle and total avoidance of the Iranian-Israeli threat, Romney has the second debate to lose.

Someone get this line to him: “You were elected to be President, not present”

Yes, in addition to how some of them jumped on Jim Lehrer
for not “controlling” the “debate” and letting Romney push back when he felt he had to. It’s getting harder and harder for the Obamabots to keep “getting it up” for their candidate, and their fingers are crossed that Oblahblah will come to life in a second debate, or it’s GAME OVER.
They will never admit that it’s game over already.
What Obama showed the world last night is that he has NO interest in a debate where he has to explain himself and his
policies and how damaging they’ve been-—he’s been living in a protective bubble way beyond what any other President
has “enjoyed”. He doesn’t have it in him to improve to any
degree that would recover the ground he lost last night.
It’s just not one of his “talents”. I don’t think we or they really have to wait for a second Romney/Obama debate. The hext debate will be Ryan/Biden , and if you think last night was good, just wait for the Veep debate. That will SEAL THE DEAL.The Obama spinners will move on to this debate, hoping to find something there to get the bloom back on Obama’s rose. I can’t imagine how they will try to spin the total destruction of Biden by Ryan.

“The dog he ate finally got his revenge and ate his homework”

VERY nice and virtually transcendent cross-cultural reference. Worthy of supremedoctrine, who is kicking himself
that he didn’t think of it first. Kudos!

The ones blaming Lehrer are openly admitting that Obama can’t debate issues one on one like a real man.

Did he actually give Obama the word “balanced” to help him out? Not sure I heard that correctly. If higher taxes are bad, why would you want to use them for “balance”? But the real outrage is Lehrer giving Bammy his lines.

Yes, few have picked up on this grating habit-—but Obama doesn’t say “you know” -—his voice drops and he quickly mumbles something more like “yehnaw” which REALLY sounds stupid. In addition to his imperishable phrases which crop up a dozen times in every bit of public discourse: “figure out” and “make sure”.

Yup. I have my original birth certificate. Also, I was born at Walter Reed Hospital to an active duty Air Force father.

My friends know where I was born, my family knows where I was born, etc. I don’t know why Obama doesn’t have anyone who can verify his place of birth. You’d think someone would come out of the woodwork - a nurse who was on duty, a family member who sent a present or whatever. No one knows anything about this guy, from birth through law school. Very strange.

His eyes were kinda bugged out, I definitely noticed that.

You think he started to crash towards the end of the debate?

Without question.

To be blunt, Obama had ass handed to him.

Obama was a dead give away when he was clearly grimacing, staring into space, eyes wandering, jumping all over the place, evading questions etc.

Obama seemed way out of his league.

You might be onto something. In retrospect, this may account for 0bama's feeble behavior. Without crowd response he's a fish out of water. Dictators thrive on adoration. Their narcissism requires constant praise and without it they are crippled; 0bama felt unloved and it showed. In contrast, Romney's confidence IS SPIRITUAL AND COMES FROM WITHIN, with or without applause.

I truly believe our prayers made a difference in this debate. We pray to God for our country to be saved, with Romney leading the charge. Romney is protected by our prayers. The devil was left cold and alone, beaten by God last night.

Similar here in Eastern Coast of Fla.

Local Fox affiliates are not like Fox News
