I honestly think Romney will be kind to us for the most part in a general election.
Obama is a leftwing marxist.

It all happened in the span of about five minutes. After an undecided woman Luntz calls “Robin” talked about why she was impressed with Romney, Luntz quipped, “I want to know one thing: How did Ruth Bader Ginsburg get into my focus group?”

Shortly after, another participant launched into a tirade agaisnt the president:

“It’s because he’s lied about everything — he lied to get … elected in 2008, that’s why I voted for him — I bought his bull. And he’s lied about everything. He hasn’t come through on anything. And he’s been bullshi**ing the public with the media buying it…”

+++++++++++++++++ +++

Luntz was caught clueless again. He was obviously shocked to find out how much Obama failed.

It would be cool if lightning bolts were coming out of their fingers.

Better yet, Photoshop it such that Obama looks like or morphs into the Emperor in Star Wars. :-)

Feel like I’m living in Bizzaro World when I find myself cheering on Romney and yelling at the TV to defend him.

Thanks very much both of you for the links.

God, I hope so. If Obama can get away with this, Romney doesn’t deserve to be Pres.* and independent of that, that may be the final sign that the country is lost.

*I’ll still vote for him, but he won’t deserve it.

I wish someone eminent, but not Romney himself, would just come out on this issue and flatly say Obama is a liar.

ROTFL. Bless your heart (for real).
I sat silent, (for the better part).
The Marxist lied his sorry ass off.
I think I was equally mad at Crowley for that huge mistake -— she knew better -— that stopped Romney from moving in on the kill regarding Benghazi.

Wish Romney would have trusted himself and gone for the Marxist’s throat. He’ll get chances again come next Monday.

Calm down, calm down, she wasn't wearing her OBummer campaign button so she must be undecided and just because she's probably going out for drinks with Candy tonight doesn't mean anything, ROTFLMAO!

Well, I’m back, after a four hour hiatus.

Could not get on FR for love nor money.

The site is still a bit slow, but not like before.

Thought Romney had agreat night—Zero was up to his old community organ izing self, slinging Luntz focus group level bullsh%t all over the place.

Mitt had his hip waders on and was not thrown.

Crowley was not bad, until the end when she tried to play quiz show host and correct Romney, when in faxct she was wrong.

Although I was not with you on this thread, I know that Freepers everywhere were shouting at the TV at that moment that Crowley was wrong and Romney was right.

That will play well for Mitt tomorrow, when it will be shown that Obama did not even know what he siad in the Rose Garden, and he will look like The Amateur he is, once again.

It will take a day or two to gell, but this will be another Romney win.

That makes three in a row for R&R.

The foreign policy debate will be Romney’s chance to make Zippy wish he never left Indonesia.

No...the point is Obama said tonight he called it a terrorist attack the day after in the Rose Garden.He has been telling the American people for weeks that his admin didn’t know because of the fog of war as Hillary claimed, when in fact they knew it all along and he admitted it.

To: Help!

finally....3 hours and unable to get on this forum except to observe twice

what in the hell is going on?

are we being attacked by prog saps

or just lagging

it looked like at peak maybe 10-15 replies per minute

does that kill the forum?

all I can say is damn.

that debate thread was around 750 replies an hour into it on the live thread

this was worse than last time

i just don’t get it...our traffic is nothing like it used to be

so why now?

i can see why in 2000 it was so bad

it’s been 12 years...given freepathon snail pace and the dearth of old timers and the scarcity of massive Hobbitt type threads it sure looks like we are a faded version of before..so why do we overload so?

it’s just disappointing

if it’s sappers then..well...but I’m still timing out at midnight

my download speed is 15-22mbps depending...not too shabby

so geeks ...wazzup here?

Lord have mercy. I'm glad you can laugh. Their damn screening stinks.

The idiot GOP-E never learns. Libatard "in the tank" moderators.

Undecided at this point? In blue state NY?

Luntz's group was in Las Vegas, NV. I can better understand the undecided there, given the union members and high unemployment and foreclosures caused by the Marxist. Those folks went markedly to Romney tonight. Woo-Hoo!

I think there must be some regional differences in freepers’ ability to get on during a high-traffic night. I have had no trouble getting on or staying on or posting or refreshing quickly. I never do. I don’t know why I’m so blessed when freepers of far greater consequence, knowledge, and wisdom have trouble.

Tonight was a disaster for FR. I have no idea what the technical specs of the FR backend are, but something needs to be done. If the site was this bad tonight, can you imagine election night? Forget it.

Jim should look into to some additional capacity with one of the hosting services. They can spin up a few servers for a couple days then decom them when done.
