The truth behind that $5 trillion tax cut, pre-existing conditions and more
Mitt Romney turned in a polished performance in last night's presidential debate – and revealed himself to be an accomplished and unapologetic liar. In an evening where he sought to slice and dice the president with statistics, Romney baldly misrepresented his own policy prescriptions, made up numbers to fit his attacks and buried clear contrasts with the president under a heaping pile of horseshit.
Here are mendacious Mitt's five most outrageous statements:
1. "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut." Romney flatly lied about the cost of his proposal to cut income-tax rates across the board by another 20 percent (undercutting even the low rates of the Bush tax cuts). Independent economists at the Tax Policy Center have shown that the price tag for those cuts is $360 billion in the first year, a cost that extrapolates to $5 trillion over a decade.

Obama was polished, Romney immature
You don't have to be a body language expert to have noticed Romney's condescening, patronizing facial scowls as if he was a bratty bully child who's never learned respectful communication. He constantly interrupted both O and the moderator, and he continually went off topic, repeating general statements about 'how bad things are' citing some stats (I'm guessing those were his well rehearsed 'zingers'). He focused on the blame game instead of talking resolutions, and he refuses to give O credit for all that he has accomplished. Romney touts 'his great ideas' but offers nothing to back them. Energetically I have always seen O as a lightworker. Romney's aura lacks light and is full of cracks. He often seems mechanical and controlled, and lacking in self-love. He reminds me of a very hurt child who never got his emotional needs met. I almost feel sorry for the man.
I have to say the debate was
I have to say the debate was confusing for me.
Some things I noticed but don't understand well :
Obama had a grin in the left side of his face incredibly often
I knew a psychic that said that means something bad is operating a person
the moderator invoked this grin when the 2 of them wouldn't let him moderate and he "conceded" and pretended happiness, or so to speak, pretend isn't the right word because its not like the moderator was hostile
Mostly the moderator had a strong grin in the right side of his face as jon stewart often does.
Romney looked PANICED AND SCARED at the end of the entire debate in his closing ermakrs, as if he wants to be a President to bring about the end of the world, just an observation, a lightworker rama from bbsradio says Romney has been begging overseas for the beginning of world war 3 if that's true.
Obama had a huge loving smile come up when Romney said something,
Obama often looked deeply focused and inward drawn with a strong power to him, which I find appealing, but one could interpret as either indications of fierce good or "evil" ( i don't think Obama is evil : ) )
Obamas voice sounded almost reverberating as telepathic, making me hope and become inspired for what first contact could be like, will that day bring telepath to us all ?
The debate confused me it was mianly "Romney wants to cut taxes for the rich " " NO I don't that's not true "
I'm not really able to tell lies I guess.
The debate needs to touch on the war on drugs so disclosure can be brought to the millions of persecuted people and the cure for cancer ( cannabis ) can be let out to the public.
I often felt like Romney was carrying better points across but that could be because he practiced lying and is a slick business person whereas Obama is a regular human being.
Romney's idea of rating schools with letters is horrible it will just lead to things staying the same, all schools need to be brought up to wonderful standards and truly fully reworked . The debate gave me a good level of insight into the reality that the federal government is best equipped to stop the tyranny of corporate profits and greed which is why so much poverty and crime and hardship exists in the world, the states would not necessarily succeede because the world is too largely multi-corproate and multi-national.
Romney rehearsed
Romney rehearsed a lot. While Obama was busy trying to improve things for all of us.

I think you are spot on
Mormons are very strict with their children, typically, and they train them in public speaking from a VERY early age. Men are told that they are better than women and better than other races, and when they are baptized they enter the "Melchizedek priesthood", supposedly, and then go on mission. I have frinds who are Mormon, some of them very nice people, others very damaged. Mittster probably had a very privileged status in the church because of the size of his family's tithes. But he probably didn't get a lot of positive feedback. Children are essentially taught that they must strive for absolute perfection. That's why he has such a need for attention now. This is just my opinion, of course, and it is also true of many people who are not raised Mormon. It's just that, in this case, he will probably try to impose "the only true church", as they are taught to do in their missions, and that is something which no logic or reason could ever overcome. The only hope is that he suddenly lets LOVE in. But even then, he would be unqualified for the position of President as he doesn't understand.... it takes awhile to understand people you have never seen the likes of, like the poor and disenfranchised "47%". In my opinion, which is proabaly not as humble as most would like.
LOL and LOVE, Astreia
