Can someone point me to the moment in the town hall debate when

Romney began chanting, "Government doesn't create jobs"? I missed parts of the second hour of the debate because of interruptions, and I have not been able to find that moment in the video.

Could someone who knows the actual time point in the debate when this occurred give me that information so I can listen to it? Thanks.

Romney is truly an evil person. The retardlicans have turned trickle down economics into a trickle down gov't debate.

Or Chemistry or light waves or bread making


Then it is perfectly acceptable.

As in " I am going to retard that boxcar/light wave/pizza dough".

Or " That boxcar/light wave/ball of dough has been retarded."

no one seems to know what to make of it. I have no idea what "trickle down government" is supposed to be, but everyone knows what trickle down economics is.

read that he sounded very immature and ridiculous while saying it, so I kind of wanted to hear him say it as well as reading it.
