Town Hall debates theater
On the day of the second Presidential debate I would like to share some interesting information. If you don't know already tonight's debate is a town hall format debate. Well we all understand what a town hall debate USE to be but it is no longer honest. We need to bring it back to that time in which candidates were asked to answer questions off the cuff. It tells us a lot about a candidate by reading their body language and how confident they are when speaking.
I want people to take in that fact that one candidate will have more pressure on them tonight to deliver responsible answers (that sadly will still be ignored by the left). Many will think that Obama has more pressure on him due to the disastrous past two debates. I disagree, I feel Obama is coming into this debate on his home field; liberal network, liberal moderator, and history shows liberal leaning questions. So Mitt Romney will be bombarded with questions from a liberal point of view by 2-1 according to historical patterns of these types of Presidential debates done by the Media Research Center.

Is this a bad thing for Romney? I don't think so. I believe when it comes to undecided and independent voters this should benefit Romney; that is if Romney does well with answering these questions. Over the last year of my research on Romney I have no doubt that Romney will answer these questions responsibly and will not make the "Obama mistake" by giving promises that are impossible to make.
What is a lie?
Over the last few weeks I have seen many Obama supporters calling Romney a liar; Ryan has not missed the bullet either. I may be silly but I have not seen a flat out blatant lie come out of Romney to this date. And what Obama supporters are calling lies are actually very subjective such as saying Romney is "lying" about what they will do if they become President. Tell me this, how can Romney be a liar about something he has not been given the chance to prove? That means I am a liar because I say the Denver Broncos are going to win the Superbowl. That doesn't make me a liar, that makes me optimistic. I also have read and heard Obama supporters say that Romney has flat out lied about Obama failures. One example that keeps coming up is the 47% comments. Romney was correct that 47% of American's don't pay taxes, it was his comments about not caring about them that he apologized for. Another one is his statement that Obama took 90 Billion dollars for Green jobs. Obama supporters are calling this a flat out lie when in fact it is true. This is what is called a generalization of the facts because Romney does not have the time gifted to him in order to specifically break down the 90 billion spending. If you research it for yourself you will find that every dime spent of the 90 billion was for green initiatives.
So to recap... It is a lie to attempt to change history and then support it with more lies. Example; Joe Biden stated that he did not vote for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq saying he "was there" and "voted against them" because "no, we cannot afford them". In fact, Joe Biden did vote for both wars and has been publicly scrutinized for such a lie; but the liberal media let him off easy. Just recently another lie surfaced out of the Obama camp by saying the High Valley Miners were "required" to participate in the Romney visit or possibly lose their jobs. Well the 500+ Miners decided to inform the country of the facts by doing a press conference about letters sent to the Obama camp.
But it is not a lie when a candidate has to generalize facts to get a point across which supports my comments that people need to educate themselves and find out the facts behind the generalizations for themselves.
Obama = Romney
This has been driving me nuts lately. There are people who are adamant that Romney is no different from Obama. When I ask why, I get two prominent answers, one, because both are rich, two, since they are rich they will float on the money from special interest groups. Again, Obama has proven that some of this to be true. But has Romney? Prove me wrong, because Romney has not given us any reason for me to believe he had not earned his money honestly. Look folks it is human nature to have special interests, what matters is the moral behind such interests. I believe Romney has a better balanced interests in mind then a Attorney out of Chicago whose pride won't allow him to admit failure.
So unless you can predict the future. Or that there is evidence that ties Romney to performing just like Obama, the claim that the two are one in the same is highly subjective and nothing more then a conspiracy theory. Nobody can debate with those who focus on conspiracies and then justify their actions upon such conspiracy. It is not a healthy lifestyle. But hey! Who am I to judge? I'm nobody, I just go by what I feel is responsible reasonable logical thinking.

Leadership
Did you know that Obama has not fired/force resignation/replaced anyone in his administration even after all the major failures in his policies? How is it that Hilary Clinton can keep her job when four American's died in Libya because the State department though a Marine detachment was better served in a city without any threats against our embassy like Paris instead of a Al Qaeda laden Benghazi where the US Ambassador was placed on a Hit list? Why is Eric Holder still in position after the Fast and Furious scandal was exposed? This, my readers, is a proven example of leadership... Again, something that Romney has not had the chance to show us in a Presidential seat.Conclusion
All Obama has to run on is his record and this record does not look good at all. The sad thing about watching the Obama campaign is that neither Obama or Biden are giving recognition to any failures and speaking about how they plan to fix these failures; they sure do get quite defensive though. Unfortunately for Obama and the American people those failures are majority of Obama's presidential plan. Tell us Obama, what has failed in your eyes? Where are the weak spots in your administration that needs to be addressed? Instead of demanding specifics from a candidate who explained clearly that they won't give, you should be telling us YOUR plans instead.
Lastly, Obama supporters need to stop making themselves look childish by running around calling Romney a liar when he hasn't had the opportunity to prove himself. Stop running around and acting like you know for a fact of what Romney is going to do if he because President; soothsayers do not exist.
