Romney: I'll help you get a job by getting you a job.

You think I'm kidding? Governor Romney's answer to the first question of the second debate is all you need to know about how the night went.

Asked by young college student Jeremy Epstein what the candidates would do to help him find work after the election, the governor's response boiled down to his last sentence: "Elect me as President and I'll help you get a job."

That's not an answer, Mitt. The question was "HOW?"

But not union jobs. Those jobs pay way too much, and those people need 'reigned in".

The message from the GOP is to take what you can get, but don't get too uppity about it. I sincerely believe the right's goal is to eliminate all poverty safety nets so they can see a return to the day men would stand on a street corner and beg to let them shine your shoes. Those were heady times for Republicans.

Very first question...and he said absolutely nothing. Overshot his time limit as well. Pitiful.

Everything rMoney said there is exactly opposite of what he has previously said he wants to do (no shock, eh?)
