Now, to go back to the debate, Obama seems to have the right initials, considering his stinky performance.

😃

Yes, I am a child. But, I have to admit I am a happy child. I am very pleased that Romney did so well.
I agree, let’s all go back to the debate, it was the ā€œaltitudeā€ that affected Obama!
 
So you think the only way anyone over the age of say 65 years old can make good arguments is if they are taking drugs to aid them in their arguments?

I mean we have Al Gore making ā€œaltitudeā€ an excuse. Maybe that’s it.
I was only comparing last night to his ā€˜past performances’ over the past 2 months and the ā€˜perceived’ lack of coherence and consistency earlier.
 
Fine, but it would be untrue and would need to be proven. Cocaine is an illegal drug, so I could be jailed or arrested by your comment if it was reported to the police. However, legal prescription drugs used by older people to enhance their ā€˜brain function’ are prescribed by a doctor and are not illegal. Taking such medication does not cause judgement to one’s character, as they are medically prescribed drugs. However, taking illegal drugs would be slanderous as to partake of same is a criminal offence.

OK, if you would prefer, substitute Viagra for cocaine in my example.šŸ˜‰
 
Oh, knock it off. You’re not stupid by a long shot, and such comments do not become you.

Making unfounded accusations that someone whom you don’t even know is on drugs is a sin and you know it. Romney, Obama, or you and me. It doesn’t change that.
The exchange was going 'round and round, and sounding dumber and dumber to me, so why not throw some sand into the gears? I apologize, though. I forgot that many conservatives tend to be humorless. 🤷
 
Thank you for the link. However, I was not tarnishing his good character. I was referring to medically prescribed drugs through a doctor, which is neither illegal or immoral to use and it does not defame Romney’s character to use such drugs. It is his moral right if he so wishes and is a major part of the current medical research with the pharmaceutical industries (esp. with the baby boomers getting older) i.e. nootropics, etc…

I thought that Governor Romney did very well, and that the President seemed tired and distracted. I was certainly expecting him to be more ā€œon his gameā€, which also makes me wonder what is going on in the oval office in terms of domestic or international matters which has him distracted.

I was glad to see Mr Romney sound coherent and sensible. It bothers me that he contradicted some of his earlier statements. People change their minds, that is a good thing, But I wish, when they are politicians, they would say… "I’ve thought about this and changed my position… ", as a preface, so we know that they are not lying to us by simply trying to say what they think will win a vote, when they intend to do something completely different once in office. Some sort of statement like that would lend credibility, IMHO.

Okay, that I can understand, for instance, Obama has voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act so this is even away from the abortion issue:

nationalreview.com/corner/290764/clarifying-obamas-vote-born-alive-peter-kirsanow

And anyone who votes in this manner as well as some other statements he has made such as ā€œYou didn’t build thatā€ or the comments about Hurricane Katrina to me casts a deep suspicion on the man himself. Besides obvious things like the ACA Affordable Care Act possibly forcing people to do things against their religious values.

And same goes for Partial Birth Abortion per the National Review article, how could anyone who is humane support things like that?

Lastly, I see Sean Hannity is on, he must be rather Irish, I listen to him from time to time. Pretty smart fellow and obviously of Irish heritage. (I do not mean for this to be a plug for Sean, met him once, he’s a kind personable fellow).

Obama did not seem to have a problem with the altitude at the 2008 DNC

So for the 3rd time, you are saying the only way an older person 65+ say can put together a good argument and debate well is through drugs??

That would be good, considering I’m female 😃 However, say you did - who cares, as It would be your opinion, I would laugh, people that knew me would laugh and when it’s all said and done who would care if I was using a prescription drug it’s my legal and moral right to do so, as long as it does not interfere with catholic church teaching,

I guess I didn’t see your comment as an attempt of humor. Probably my fault, they surgically remove your sense of humor in grad school.

Also, would you be saying that voting against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act 4 times as shown and allowing babies who survive abortion to be allowed to be left to die a sign of good judgment??
 
It still cost $100 Billion dollars - even with their help. This is an interesting article, thanks for the link. šŸ™‚

What do you think will happen? Should we plan to lure green-energy scientists away from China?
Look Bellasbane if the federal funding had been for RESEARCH it would have been justified perhaps but it was not. Instead the federal government acted as an ā€œAngelā€ to fund companies that were poorly capitalized, not able to compete, and if you look at the plush offices and facilities at Solyndra etc not very careful with the taxpayer’s money.

That is the objection, not that we were researching techniques to make solar, wind or other green technologies more efficient but instead BANKROLLING Obama donors and bundlers in their ill fated and poorly operated commercial ventures. The government has no business loaning our money out as a political favor.

We cannot compete with China on manufacturing. Why do you think we aren’t still making TVs and socks here? Would it make sense to bankroll some unprofitable sock factory?

Obama is an idealogue whose theories are fairy dust. If he wants to risk his own money as did Romney or T Boone Pickens for that matter, fine. He should not be taking our money and throwing it down his green energy rathole

I wonder too. I wonder if so much is going on in terms of domestic and international matters, enough to distract him, why he was spending so much time on the View or with Beyonce or whoever it was.
 
As opposed to today’s useless idiot.šŸ˜‰
Obama is no idiot, and use of uncharitable names is against the rules of this forum, even when it’s about a politician.

Just thought you might like to know. :rolleyes:

Are you aware that Romney is a devout Mormon? This religion prohibits even use of caffeine as in coffee, smoking, alcohol or other legal but mind bending, unhealthy drugs.

Romney is the LAST person you’d imagine using any kind of substance, legal or illegal. In fact once asked where he gets all his energy and he referred to Ann Romney’s homemade granola. He is a health nut.

Obama on the other hand was a self described dope smoking slacker, talked about weed and blow and hangin’ with the Choom gang.

Tell me you would think it likely that Romney used any kind of drugs…PUH LEASE

n the Depression, they didn’t have unemployment insurance, food stamps, SSD or welfare. If not for those things, you would be seeing soup lines on the street just like in 1933, hoboes in the boxcars and people going from door to door asking for handouts.
Pretty much what the Tea Party and Ryan would bring us to if they get their way.

You admitted having only seen a few clips. You have no idea who Romney is or how he presents himself. Please give it up. You are speaking from a basis of speculation only based on bumper sticker slogans and Democrat talking points.
