I was watching the Scheifer and interrupting mooslime info hour.
Seeing the looks on their faces at the end of the debate, there is no doubt who won.
Obama kept interrupting to try to get us to forget the glimpse of reality that Romney was giving us. For instance, the reminder of the large group of DEMOCRAT Senators who sent a letter telling Obama to get things right with Israel again. Or Obama’s SecDef saying the defense budget cuts were “devastating”. Or mentioning Obama’s apology tour and how the world noticed that he didn’t go to Israel. Or the mention of Obama telling Medvedev he could be “more flexible” after the election... Or the abandoning of eastern Europe’s missile defense systems, right at the time that Iran was increasing their enrichment of uranium.
I’ve learned that when Obama’s mouth is moving, he’s lying. That makes it really hard to feel anything but impatience when he is wasting my time by moving his mouth - especially if he’s yapping his jaw when somebody potentially worth hearing is supposed to be talking.
These polls are so stupid. Who “won” is an individual decision. If Obama is declared the “winner” of the debate, am I suppose to vote for him?
FReeEEeePED:
This IS CNN, after all = Commie News Network
Poll needs a SWARM of FReepers.
Obama: 73%
Romney27%
Total votes: 8380
I only listened on the radio so I didn’t see any faces. Whose faces showed who won, and what were their faces like?
Thanks. Got it!
It let me vote and shows some numbers now. So I voted twice this time. Very accurate poll. /sarc
Holy crap, what the HELL was THAT? Mitt Romney AGREEING with Obama on almost every point??? What is this guy about, anyway? I’m having a REAL HARD time tonight, someone is going to have to help me out here...
I don’t see any place to vote. I did make the mistake of looking at some of the comments though. I hate having my kids’ future yoked to the fate of morons.
BREAKING: CBS NEWS INSTANT POLL Who won the #Debate? OBAMA: 53%; ROMNEY: 23%, TIE: 24% (Margin of Error: 4%; Sample Size: 521)
Obama made the same mistake as Biden. Biden made goofy faces, Obama had an angry brattylittle boy mean face on.
Nobody is willing to address the elephant in the room: Islamist regimes taking over the previous administrations that were allies in the war on terror. They all have to say the PC thing of these being democratic elections to replace tyrants and we stand with people seeking freedom.... blah blah blah - while ignoring that the democratic choice that was made was to install regimes that persecute non-Muslims, fly the Al Qaeda flag from the US embassy in Egypt, say “amen” to God destroying Israel, release terrorists from prison so they can attack American interests, hold signs saying “We are all Bin Laden”, mass-rape Lara Logan, sodomize our ambassador, etc, etc.
And the groups they are affiliated with - such as the Muslim Brotherhood - include the family of our SOS’s assistant Huma Abedin. These groups visit our White House regularly and decide what our military instruction can say about Muslim terrorism.
We’re in an alternate universe. Big Brother is holding up 4 fingers and wants us to say we see one.
It’s depressing, to say the least.
Who won the debate is irrelevant. Tonight, the people got to see one U.S. President and one former Chicago community organizer in a bad mood.
It’s there. Scroll down a bit. It’s on the right side.
This poll is locked. These are the same numbers that were up 30 minutes ago.
The debate validates my refusal to vote for either of these liberals..
