I've watched quite a few debates over the years. I've never seen a display like that.

You don't cherry-pick corrections. Even though you immediately identified your error, your attempt to "even it out" is too late.

Unless you plan to fact-check every misstep, you cannot interject your version of events. The greater point being made is lost in your version of how things should be stated.

You either correct everything (which is impossible) or you try to at least keep the time straight. That was embarrassing.

Yup. Candy was completely out of line. Mitt should have called her out. Sure, Barry was reeling & needed help, but the Fat ass moderator should STFU.

I had no problem with it. In fact I would like to see more of it. If I were a republican supporter I would have more of an issue with the Obama friendly questions than anything else.

There were some friendly questions going both ways. I thought the woman who asked Romney about her middle class deductions sounded like a plant by the Democrats and Kerry seemed like a Republican plant.

I haven't heard the spin on this one yet outside of what Panther was posting here, but it seems he and I watched a different debate. Romney's answers were vague and general and Obama came off as calm and presidential. And I'm sure both guys told there share of lies and half-truths. I'm going to have a hard time punching a ballot for either of these goofs, but Obama took a step toward getting my vote back last night.

Aww, Scorehead.....starting to get worried that your boy is gonna lose?

Sarley showing the stunning insight that makes him a strong contributor to the board.

I felt Romney came across as a rude jackass, specifically when the topic revolved around equal rights.

"Binder full of women", he says.

Debates should be ran like chess matches. Once your timer runs out, you aren't allowed to talk for the rest of the debate.

Considering Crowley had "facts" to support Obama's position readily available upon request of the President proved she certainly wasn't an unbiased moderator.

I think that part of the debate was the only part that made me think one candidate clearly had the upper hand. The rest of the 85 minutes was pandering bullshit, but it was evident by their answers that Obama either cares more about women's equality, or is at least much better at pretending to care.

Be that as it may, that doesn't in any way make true what Romney claimed though.

Burying the story by burying the moderator.

Douche vs. Turd Sandwich again this year.

I think the lack of "women's equality" in the workplace is bullshit for the most part. These unsubstaniated numbers people like to throw around- "women make 72 cents for every dollar men make." What is the basis for that number? It's like the claim that 10% of the population is gay. And even if it were true, it's not an apples to apples comparison. There are just more men in higher level jobs. If you think that's a problem, okay. I see the "solution" as better education and more training for women. The fact that women significantly outnumber men at U.S. universities suggests to me that the problem has been addressed and the results will naturally manifest temselves in the future.

Haven't you suggest it was naive when people claimed racism isnt a problem anymore in 2012? I think that same line of thinking applies to sexism, although I agree with you that it seems to be progressing to the point where it should balance out sooner rather than later, because of the factor you cited.

Oh, I'm not suggesting there aren't certain workplaces that can be tough on a female. I'm just not blindly accepting that 72 cents figure simply because some feminist dyke spits it out.

I'll ask this. Is it the experience of anyone here that equally graded jobs within an organization where they worked featured unequal pay based solely upon the sexes of the employees?

Yes. When I was a bartender at Fridays the hot brunette bartender would always make twice as much as I did on a Friday night. It was bullshit.
