So tonight Romney tells a lie and Obama tells the

truth about the same issue. Who will be believed by the undecided?
What factors will be involved?
I think if Obama comes off believable and can show the lie in Romney's statements, he wins.

And many people, including a lot on DU, said rMoney won. That tells me that a lot of people don't care about the facts, they go for style over substance.

Well, I say BULLSHIT! And since when is lying and blinking your eyes like a maniac mean your style is better?

Seriously, what has become of us? Reality TV is so ingrained in our society that we'll accept any garbage dished out to us, including that of the M$M.

When did we stop thinking for ourselves and let the pundits tell us what to think?

Sorry, upaloopa, rant over . . . and I agree with your assessment.

We live in the age of GEORGE ORWELL and it is scary. There are to many people who do not have the intelligence to know right from wrong. Now I know why the RETHUGS want to decrease funding for education so that the people become the sheep they can HERD.
I wonder why the people who live on the coasts seem to be able to know right from wrong? Why do the people in the south and the middle of the country seem to be simple minded?
