Romneys Bengazi Libya disaster will go down in debate history......

as one of the best worst moments ever for any candidate. It will be played for many years to come. I dont believe a candidate has ever been called out and fact checked by the other candidate as well as the moderator ever. Romney must feel like a complete idiot after that shellacking. Man this was a great debate, it really was what alot of us needed after the first debate. Obama had Romney on the ropes the whole debate! I'm still hyped!

And what a closer! The 47% yes!

Romney really went all out fool in the early hours of that attack and then getting his pals to start hearings all for political gain.

He earned and will earn every thing he gets from this.

referred to the incident in Libya as a terrorist attack. Apparently it had been repeated so often that it had become accepted as fact. Romney didn't bother exiting his bubble to do reality-based research.

You could almost feel the hostility directed toward Romney. He got turned inside out there.

Romney crossed the line. He tried to mine the death of American citizens for political gain.

Then he lied about it in front of 70 million people and then he got caught.

Hand in cookie jar. Naked with the tide out. He lost the debate right there.
