When he was asked how he would differ from Bush I thought, ‘He attacked Iraq and Afghanistan. I’m going to attack Syria and Iran.’ 😃

Which has always been the case, unless you can point out which federal contraception laws there are.

But don’t conflate “accessible” with “free”, even from employers of conscience.

Does that make you feel any better about the man…? Sure doesn’t make me feel any better about my probably vote.

He said “access.” He didn’t say that the government or employer should pay for it.
 
Although its good Romney mentioned his lowering of the Massachusetts unemployment rate versus Obama’s failure to really do anything about the national unemployment rate.

And I agree with other posters: Hey Romney, when are you gonna talk about what YOU’LL do differently?

Also, Romney might get hurt by the immigration question…

He has refused to take a stand on the issue, he’s backpedaled from it every time. Ryan took a far stronger stance, and his stance wasn’t even that strong.

My problem with his debate performance is that he hasn’t stood on principle throughout the debate. The one principle that he has consistently hit every question is “the past four years have been terrible.” He has said nothing specific on a positive note, even when challenged that the math doesn’t add up. All he’s done is assure us that he knows what to do, without caring to explain what exactly that is. All because he’s been letting his clock run down bashing his opponent’s record.

All well and good, but:
  1. He didn’t say that, unfortunately, and
  2. He keeps telling us that “he knows what it takes,” but keeps this knowledge to himself. Then, apparently assuming that we don’t need to know, he spends the rest of his time telling us how Obama has failed. I’d rather hear what he would DO.

He has said that he will cut Planned Parenthood. President Obama supports the funding of Planned Parenthood, legalization of abortion as well as gay marriage, and supports the HHS Mandate which is a serious threat to religious freedom especially for Catholics.

I was (and throughout this thread I am) referring to his debate performance.
 
It’s like watching a bunch of kids arguing over who’s “cooler” than the other 🤷

This is the crux of Romney’s big problem. He has no plan.

He said he wants everyone to have access to cintraception That is a stand.
 
If the choice is between someone who may not have a plan and a man whose plan is to bring America down to where the world wants us… I’m for the one without a plan

I think he DOES have definite plans, but doesn’t/can’t/won’t fully articulate them during the debates. Maybe it’s because he is too focused on attacking Obama’s positions, maybe it’s because he realizes they aren’t the most popular (defunding Planned Parenthood is still a political hot potato), maybe he’s trying to pull a pseudo-2008-Obama and appeal to everyone, etc.

What is your argument? There are statistics on pay inequality, and it’s a perfectly valid topic. And Romney didn’t answer the question at all.

Link? I’m a two year graduate of a community college, been with the same company for nearly 20 years and have had my current job for 15 1/2 years, as a male with seniority, i’d be ticked to discover that a female in my dept. with a law degree doing the same job as me is making more than me.
