American Presidential Debates Megathread

[Sardine World]

I might also mention that BHO stated he would keep Americans safe, yet there are 4 dead americans at the consulate

yet another lie

Yes.

Because the President can totally ensure the safety of every single diplomat in the Mideast.

maybe he should have gotten more security? :l

Afghanistan is a fundie shithole, it is literally one of the most worthless pieces of land on the planet. Them and Somalia are probably the biggest wastes of time in history.

IIRC, the last people to TCB in Afghanistan had to do so by building mountains of skulls.

SKULLS FOR THE THRONE OF KHORNE!

[Ceannairceach]

I suppose you have vast amounts of evidence to support this?

We can't stay in Afghanistan forever. They have to pick up the slack eventually.

Afghanistan is a fundie shithole, it is literally one of the most worthless pieces of land on the planet. Them and Somalia are probably the biggest wastes of time in history.

And we've done our part. We either trust them to do theirs, or we remain in Afghanistan for the remainder of America's life. The choice should be obvious.

Slightly disappointed neither candidate has said they'd beat the shit out of the Saudi royal family and a transition towards more democracy. Because that'd be great, so long as not too many other people got hurt. Because it's not like the Saudis aren't using the US massively, despite amusing claims it's the other way around.

[Des-Bal]

"the greatest threat to the world is a nuclear Iran, let's talk about China."

[Jocabia]

"I will keep Americans safe" does not equal "We are now impervious to fire and steel."

Then he should stop making promises he cant keep

My seat belt keeps me safe but it doesn't mean I cannot die in a car accident. Maybe the problem here is that you're being deliberately obtuse. You didn't believe Obama was promising to prevent all deaths at all times forever, so why claim you did?

Welcome to fucking politics.

You'll find a complementary sack of hyperbole to your left.

That's the only way anyone says anything, no one ever means it entirely, that would be idiotic.

[Tlaceceyaya]

Yes.

He deliberately turned off his clairvoyance so that he couldn't anticipate every single move against americans.

[Freedom Fighters Fighting For Freedom]

Nuclear Iran the biggest threat bitch please Iran would be the one getting wiped off the face of the earth as soon as they fire one nuke they'd never do it.

[Daistallia 2104]

Don't go there Mitt!

Despite the claims the United States LOOOVES dictatorships. It's easy, cheap oil. Only have to deal with 1 single person.

[Sdaeriji]

Lol what a fucking stupid thing to say.

Is someone mad that their pothead, smoker president has just been proven to be a liar?

Yes. I'm furious.

[Agymnum]

Yes.

> Get more security

> Give a fuck about the Middle East

Right. Let's just piss away money in foreign affairs when we're supposed to be rebuilding our economy.

Logic.

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Romney knows whereof he speaks when it comes to companies shutting down and moving operations to China. He was responsible for shutting down a number of them.

[Telesha]

Yes, Mitt, we know you've watched businesses close down and ship jobs overseas...

...or does it not count when it's you doing it?

[Yewhohohopia]

"the greatest threat to the world is a nuclear Iran, let's talk about China."

It's a shame there's not a more philosophical argument as to whether the Chinese need jobs more or less than Americans, and why that's allegedly the case.

[Wikkiwallana]

"I will keep Americans safe" does not equal "We are now impervious to fire and steel."

It's ok. We already know you don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about, you don't have to keep reminding us.

[Daistallia 2104]

Boom from the moderator!

[Cannot think of a name]

Mitt is not aware of the framing.

[Farnhamia]

Mitt is not aware of the framing.

He has set talking points. He's not that fast on his feet.

[Wikkiwallana]

Then why is he taking responsibility for Libya?

Wow, Obama was in the White House before being elected! Truman even let him sit behind the desk!

[Des-Bal]

Mitt Romney had to have seen Obama's trap, it's the only way he could place his balls directly in it.

I know, but, you know. The US actually pays to station its troops there to defend the oil fields the Saudis stripped from American ownership in the 1980s. Sigh.

[Cannot think of a name]

Haymaker.

[Jocabia]

You realize the President does not personally make decisions about the security of every embassy and consulate in the world, yes? Would you really want them to? It seems to me they have more important things to do. The President doesn't even personally make every security decision on the battlefield in Afghanistan and we lose way more than 4 people there. It's not possible.

Embassy and consulate security is not a President level task. Do you want to change that?
