And int he latest example of Mormon geography... Romney mentioned that "Syria is Iran's only route to the sea." Apparently, Iran's huge honking coastline somehow isn't a route to the sea. Also, the fact that Syria and Iran don't share a border doesn't prevent Syria from being a route to the sea for Iran. :bangwall:

His main talking point:

"I'd do everything he did, but better. Please ignore any statements to the contrary"
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

A change is as good as a rest, as they say.

From what I hear (didn't get the chance to watch) it went something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lA7B3vpIlmQ
"All this has happened before --"
"But it doesn't have to happen again. Not if we make up our minds to change. Take a different path. Right here, right now."

:lol: So it was basically an hour and a half of "I agree with Nick", with Yank accents?

Well, it's the last one of the race, so what else would you expect? Mittsy backed off the "apology tour" and "14 days after Benghazi" rhetoric, because it was his last chance to do so before being called on the lying language before the vote; and Barry, as expected, went on with most of the same planks as 4 years ago "only this time, I really mean it."

Are you sure that he isn't a Moron, rather than Mormon.

Between that and his comment that he paved the way for equality for working women by letting them get home in time to cook dinner, I'm pretty sure he's both.

Probably the most impressive thing about the debates was watching two very intelligent people talking to 300 million people, knowing they are full of shit, and yet delivering it with such conviction. Really impressive.

There's a word for that - "politician." Besides, I think it's endemic to the profession that after a while, one starts to believe the shit he's been spouting all along.

Just out of curiosity, can all our American posters tell us who they support, and why?

I was talking to one of our American customers the other day, and he told me he did not like Obama because he felt he was too much of a "socialist"...
Do people here agree?
If not, why don't you agree?

I'm truly curious...
The truth always depends on which side of the fence you're standing... ;)
