Just sayin' Fred, you speak for nobody? Just sayin' ACDC, while I agree that Romney may he have come off that way to many Republicans debate now that he's their nominee, it hasn't always been true. Romney was described as a weather vane and liar and elitist by Republicans first, and to many the lying and flip flopping is disingenuous and not as dignified or graceful as you perceive it. Ditto the class-based condescension.

So who’s right? Chalk one up for the brainy students. Posted by: Lucy | November 1, 2012, 3:09 pm 3:09 pm Brainy? Many of today's 6th graders--not to mention high schoolers--can't even write a properly structured sentence or demonstrate even basic logical or critical thinking. I should know. I tutor them. The Dems posting here reflect very poorly on our public education system.

All he can do is attack and smear. It's as if Obama's the challenger and Romney is the incumbent. It's rather sad.

Posted by: Don | November 1, 2012, 2:32 pm 2:32 pm Right again, Don. Fomer Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril says Obama counted his eggs before they hatched. Jibril has "accused the United States and its NATO allies of high-tailing it out of [Libya] as soon as dictator Moammar Gadhafi was disposed a year ago." He says the quick departure created "a power vacuum" that has allowed radicals, like those who attacked the Benghazi consulate, to strengthen their numbers and flourish.

[But] the moment the regime fell down, they felt that their mission [had] been accomplished. I think it was a premature decision.

Right again, Don.

Fomer Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril says Obama counted his eggs before they hatched.

Jibril has “accused the United States and its NATO allies of high-tailing it out of [Libya] as soon as dictator Moammar Gadhafi was disposed a year ago.” He says the quick departure created “a power vacuum” that has allowed radicals, like those who attacked the Benghazi consulate, to strengthen their numbers and flourish.

According to Jibril:

After the collapse of the regime, the immediate task of our friends was to help us rebuild the government before they withdrew from Libya. [But] the moment the regime fell down, they felt that their mission [had] been accomplished. I think it was a premature decision.

You do the same thing Romney did on his third debates. He gave credit to his opponent when the credit was due .He agreed with on most of the foreign policy of his opponent but he did it with dignity and grace, He also went an extra step to differentiate himself with his opponent on certain angles regarding the American role as the leader,the torch to the world.He did all that with self confident and dignity while his opponent did nothing but attacking and insulting him. Romney is so clever with the punch line " Attacking me is not an agenda" .That's alone will secure his the position to win the election. Lucy,you are good,period.
