First Presidential Debate thoughts and discussion

[TheWalrus]

My initial read is: the moderator is losing.

The moderators always lose in these things.

No doubt.

Still, covered most of the list: stuttering, hand gestures, sighs. Didnt notice a jacket bulge.

Romney's debate strategy was to win the debate without any regard for reality.
It has made him look effective.

If anyone tells you that the voucher system won't destroy medicare they are lying.

Over/under on how many hours will be spent tomorrow on the fact that Obama's right eye is twitching?

Just my 2p, I wont tell you guys how to run your own country, but im watching the debate and have loosely followed the election (personally im a reasonably moderate conservative) im glad I don't have to vote for either of these two men, I wouldn't want either of them running the UK.

WTF is this bs about a board.

Do people not realize that private insurance limits care?
Private freaking insurance limits care all the ****ing time? That is how they are profitable.
Their goal is to limit care all the while have incredibly high admin costs where they hide even more profits.
So the Romney/Ryan plan is to essentially shift more people to these private insurance plans at a time when they are very expensive with the government footing the bill.

I battle private insurance every day to get care for my patients.

A baffling thing is that Obama didn't answer Romney on the 700 billion cut statement. The cut was to payouts to providers it had nothing to do with people. I guess Obama doesn't want to vocalize that his program is giving doctors the shaft. He prefers to just take it.

Im hoping if they keep talking about it the death panels will stay in place. Big fan.

I can see why, never understood why none of the respectable Republicans stood this time around, but could be worse you could have to choose between Palin or Obama

I think I shall bow out of politics on a US forum now though, you lot would just be angered by my "British Conservative" views on Universal Healthcare.
