Does ANYONE Remember how rude Romney was?

Remember how rude Romney was? Interrupting, speaking over everyone, steamrolling both moderator and Obama? Doing whatever the fuck he wanted and ignoring anybody who tried to pull him back in?

???

Romney bullied his way through the debate and then Republicans thought he was the savior of the world.
Then Biden kicks Ryan around and suddenly, "Oh no! That's not allowed in debates!" LOL.

Depends on how much she gets to influence the questions and follow-ups being asked, and how much rebuttal is allowed.

It is so insulting how they are treating the American people like we are the stupidest fucking people on the planet.

This is supposed to be the greatest nation on earth!

What. the. fuck.

Romney immediately goes on the defensive, starts talking over the questioner, talks faster, trips over his words, and uses rudeness to those lesser than him to bully them into silence.

If he does that, he loses. Average people will look at him and say, "Romney is just like that jackass of a boss I have, thinks that yelling at people is leadership. Fuck that guy."

like a CEO - "I talk and you listen". He did not participate, he controlled the debate. This is what you get when a business person goes into politics.

smirking, sarcastic, DISHONEST and rude. But, this is where the right has their shit together and we don't. There was a lot to criticize about Romney's debate performance but we were too busy criticizing President Obama. Now, with the VP debate, we're seeing the right criticize Biden for the same things we should have been criticizing Romney and we find ourselves defending Joe and not really focusing on how stupid, dorky and dishonest Ryan was. Something is very wrong with this picture but we never seem to learn.
