Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Romney is on the BS sauce and lying his ass off like crazy. That why is still absent.

Notice how Obama doesn't critique Bush.

Instead, he points out how Romney is to the right of Bush.

Oh boy. If they bring up the military this could get ugly real quick. If Obama's smart he'll bring up the 2 trillion dollar increase thing.

Yeah, immigration is a dead-end for these two. Might as well be 2000 again.

Romney: Illegal immigrant kids can become citizens by joining the military!

Oh my god that is terrible.

I never thought Bush would be used in an implied positive light,the tone says it all.

After 4 years of blaming Bush for everything (Half is true,the other half is all Obama not veto-ing or curbing the GOP)

I'm not convinced this will bring him up on the polls though,at least not enough for a sound advantage,Romney will still probably carry every state except perhaps Virginia.

Why would immigrants getting citizenship through the military be bad? I thought we loved having people in the military. They're serving our country rather than being the parasites Republicans portray them as.

[up][up] To complicate things just a little more: Most Immigrants (sans Cubans) = Leftist

Military (according to the Left) = Get Shot

Who wants to risk the possibility of getting killed before becoming legal when there could be another way?

[up] Sa'weet

But watch the Right see that as arrogance and the swing states not budge for it.

So I take it Obama is winning? Too bad the media will call it a tie.
