US Presidential Debate In-Game-Thread

[thetrinity]

axelrod dodging brian williams questions about obamas performance tonight

guy looked like he got hit by a mac truck

[Carseller4]

obama spoke to the viewers effectively with details..... romney spoke to obama flustered and with no details, completely ignored the viewers.

What debate were you watching?

Romney looked Presidential and Obama looked like a schoolboy being scolded with his head down.

[MC PICKS]

Ed shultz said obama was playing soft. Said he was in a prevent defense all night.

[Waterstpub87]

If i was president everything would be alright.

You have more private sector experience with that paper route then Obama does.

[MC PICKS]

Obama talked 4 minutes longer tonight as reported by MSNBC. Romney clearly made a huge statement.

[rocky502]

Well, Rug Muncher Maddow, her little sister Chris Hayes, and Al Sharpton think Obama won. "Bizarro Rush" Fat Ed and Schmidt are being honest about the drubbing Obama took.

[TheRifleman]

Biden is gonna get clobbered even worse then obama did tonight. Obama at least sort of kept up. It wont even be close against the sharper paul ryan. Larry odonnel is making excuses as usual but hes a fukking moron.

Palin even clobbered the moron.

It's going to be real ugly for the dumbocrats....

[King Mayan]

Everybody knows mitt won..

But he didn't bring specifics..

Which means nothing to improve his presidential campaign.

[Seaweed]

Before worrying about how America is going to balance their budget, most of the posters here should be worried about balancing their own sportsbook budget. That's why i am here. I will cut your deficit if you invest your money in my plays. I will cut your losses and create new profits for all of you.

[sitzlejd]

Romney did better in a lying contest. Not really too surprised...

[TheRifleman]

If i was president everything would be alright.

sorry....If GIANT were president everything would be alright....he's THE CHAMP!!!

[Bostongambler]

Seaweed u are just like ur name says. All washed up!

[ttwarrior1]

they are saying that obama talked for 4 minutes longer the obama, and that it looked like romney spoke more... because he dominated him..

[Bostongambler]

If he wasnt already the president people would be saying "why is that guy even on the stage"

In 1983, Alison Jaggar published Feminist Politics and Human Nature where she defined four theories related to feminism: liberal feminism, Marxism, radical feminism, and socialist feminism. Her analysis was not completely new; the varieties of feminism had begun to differentiate as early as the 1960s. Jaggar's contribution was clarifying, extending and solidifying the various definitions, which are still often used today.
Liberal feminism's primary goal is gender equality in the public sphere -- equal access to education, equal pay, ending job sex segregation, better working conditions -- won primarily through legal changes. Private sphere issues are of concern mainly as they influence or impede equality in the public sphere. Gaining access to and being paid and promoted equally in traditionally male-dominated occupations is an important goal. What do women want? Liberal feminism answers: mostly, what men want: to get an education, to make a decent living, to provide for one's family.
What she described as liberal feminism is theory and work that focuses more on issues like equality in the workplace, in education, in political rights. Where liberal feminism looks at issues in the private sphere, it tends to be in terms of equality: how does that private life impede or enhance public equality. Thus, liberal feminists also tend to support marriage as an equal partnership, and more male involvement in child care. Abortion and other reproductive rights have to do with control of one's life choices and autonomy. Ending domestic violence and sexual harassment have to do with removing obstacles to women achieving on an equal level with men.
Liberal feminism tends to rely on the state and political rights to gain equality -- to see the state as the protector of individual rights. Liberal feminism, for example, supports affirmative action legislation requiring employers and educational institutions to make special attempts to include women in the pool of applicants, on the assumption that past and current discrimination may simply overlook many qualified women applicants.
The Equal Rights Amendment was a key goal for many years of liberal feminists, from the original women's suffrage proponents who moved to advocating a federal equality amendment, to many of the feminists of the 1960s and 1970s in organizations including the National Organization for Women. The text of the Equal Rights Amendment, as passed by Congress and sent to the states in the 1970s, is classical liberal feminism:

"Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

While not denying that there may be biologically-based differences between men and women, liberal feminism cannot see that these are adequate justification for inequality, such as the wage gap between men and women.
Critics of liberal feminism point to a lack of critique of basic gender relationships, a focus on state action which links women's interests to those of the powerful, a lack of class or race analysis, and a lack of analysis of ways in which women are different from men. Critics often accuse liberal feminism of judging women and their success by male standards.
In more recent years, liberal feminism has sometimes been conflated with a kind of libertarian feminism, sometimes called equity feminism or individual feminism. Individual feminism often opposes legislative or state action, preferring to emphasize developing the skills and abilities of women to compete better in the world as it is. This feminism opposes laws that give either men or women advantages and privileges.

How can anyone that saw that debate say that Obama won, but thats what some are saying.

[hels]

Obama referenced wars 200 years ago. His scripted statements lacked purpose.

At least Romney spoke the truth and wants the best for the American people.

[d2bets]

How can anyone that saw that debate say that Obama won, but thats what some are saying.

He 'won' just like John Kerry won the first debate in 2004 and McCain in 2008.

[rocky502]

Everybody knows mitt won..

But he didn't bring specifics..

Which means nothing to improve his presidential campaign.

How about the specifics about how Obama pissed away 90 billion dollars in pay-offs to "green energy" companies that contributed to his campaign? I can't believe Obama went back for seconds on that one when he bumbled on about $4B in oil subsidies.

We will see if Mitt gets a bump. That is all that really matters.

[TheRifleman]

If he wasnt already the president people would be saying "why is that guy even on the stage"

\
that's cause he's just an ACTOR, speaking what others' have written. He's an ACTOR, but he's not even as intelligent as another actor President, RR, who could think on his feet and adlib brilliantly. Obozo is a ZERO, fraud, clown prince. He's an embarrassment and a joke.

He brought specifics right out of the gate, 5 point plan. I guess you missed it.

[Reno Paul]

Obama performed like the Americans did on the last day of the Ryder Cup.......And I'm not a fan of Mitt Romney.

[Bluehorseshoe]

He brought specifics right out of the gate, 5 point plan. I guess you missed it.

So part of his plan involves job growth. Correct???

[rkelly110]

Mitt went for the throat, 'bama protected it.

[thetrinity]

Checking in.......draw.

Mitt went for the throat, 'bama protected it.

this is correct, but it was not a draw, romney made him bleed a little, hes still a big underdog.

[DwightShrute]

Checking in.......draw.

Mitt went for the throat, 'bama protected it.

the volume must have been broken on your TV. No other possible explanation.

[Sam Odom]
