Third and Final Presidential Debate Thread.

reply to post by xuenchen

A lot of people think the image is tainted and disrespected under Obama.

He "Lectures" policies and people in general are insulted. The general public has lost faith in the "Educated" sounding rhetoric.

This is the same rhetoric that I hear from the NeoCons and talking heads on FoxNews. For every person that thinks the way you described, there are just as many people that believe the opposite.

While that may be how you and some other people think, it is disingenuous to paint the American voters with such a broad brush.

So I would be grateful if you would not try to talk on behalf of the "general public" or myself. Because you happen to be wrong.

Truthfully, I'll just be glad when it's all over....

It doesn't matter who wins, neither are awesome and wonderful. We're in for a rough four years regardless of the outcome :/

This may very well be the one point, politically, we totally agree on Chiten....

I am here... hoped for more than the topic layout.. but it is what it is..

here's the proposed format...

1) America’s role in the world

2) Afghanistan and Pakistan

3) Red Lines – Israel and Iran

4) The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism — Part 1

5) The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism — Part 2

6) The rise of China and tomorrow’s world

Some things missing depending on your position.. but hopefully, this moderator will maintain control enough to get to the meat of some global concerns...

I expect the Potus to tell our largest foreign creditor to go take a hike, going off crying to the WTO is the eptiomy of running to a teacher cause some boy pulled a girls hair.

So in other words you are all for telling people to be responsible for their debts when it is the American consumer trying to get out from under their debt, while at the same time advocating that the American Government doesn't. Going through the WTO is in fact the legal procedure, an agreement we willingly joined. If you want to make an argument for pulling out of it fine, I would even agree with you about it. But as it stands it is clear neither candidate has any will to do that. Until then it is incumbent upon us to play by the rules we in fact helped establish.

The fact is a dead Us Ambassador and 3 other Americans in Benghazi shows the image of the Us has not improved none what so ever.

That attack only proves that Al Quieda doesn't like us. Right?

It was a terrorist attack, not an uprising of regular people that hate the US......Right?

The is the same rhetoric I always hear by those who throw around the neocon label so often around here they have yet to ever to get it right.

Naa, I got it right. The definition of the term doesn't change whether Obama is included or not.

Thanks Jack...I did do a crappy job on the layout...Mea Culpa, I spank myself soundly.....

Fill in all the pertinent parts I missed, you do a great job on that, I don't. This is why I hardly ever start a thread.

I'll enjoy reading the debates that happen right here in this thread.

That in itself will be very entertaining.....

Just switch from live streaming to reading the latest comments here.

Oh damn, Monday night football. Hmmm, use the TV for that.

That's called "multi-tasking"....

No worries.. It's started now...

Let's concentrate on the debate

Let's get ready to rumble!!! It's like watching the WWE. Scripted arguments and cheap tactics. Like watching Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Wooooooooo!!!!!!

Romney with the same old drivel about the Middle East. Nothing specific.

Obama says Al-Quida's core leadership has been decimated.

Who really believes that ?

He is Lecturing again too.

He just repeating.....
