i think romney should win. obama has done a very unsatisfactory job running the country. his priorities are not where they should be. obama also racked up waaaaaaay too much national debt. the deficit is out of control.

Maybe, but the focus on decorum over substance is meaningless anyway.
Ryan doubled down on the "I can't tell how we want our optimistic plan to work, but trust us, it's better than anything that Obama has or wants to do, even if at times often remarkably similar" strategy. As much as they'd like the entire election to be about how much we collectively hate Obama, it'd be nice to have some actual specifics for a change.
That's not to say Biden was perfect by any means, but each debate seems to reveal less about what the specifics of what a Romney presidency would actually do (it doesn't hurt that Romney has been on nearly every side of every major issue), only how amazing everything will be merely by electing him.

Obama is a Keynesian, just like Clinton was. Keynesians think that when the economy is going bad the government needs to spend a lot of money to fight the recession while when it's going well we must raise the taxes to pay of the debt.
By opposition, fiscal conservatives thing when we have a recession we have to cut the taxes to save the economy and when everything is going well we have to cut the taxes because we don't need money and the best way to help the poors is to cut the taxes for the riches and when there is a deficit cutting taxes on the rich will raise tax revenue so we can fight it and also if your sammitch doesn't taste good it's because of all those damn taxes...

O.o Surely you haven't forgotten the lowered tax rates, unpaid wars, and subsequent recession all before this.

no, i have not. but i also do not like obama's idea of a healthcare plan. i don't want to be forced into buying something i don't want or face a fine. that is not cool. and don't think it'll stop there. what else will you be forced to buy just cuz someone thinks its a good idea? buy this or pay a penalty is what it comes down to.
