I am so sick and tired of hearing about this presidential debate. No matter what they say nothing is ever going to change. When I vote if we get to vote I hope Romney wins the election because Obama has done nothing for us, except make things worse then they were. I hope Romney can turn things around for us and make life a little easier and hopefully do something good for this country. For one stopping the war in Iraq, our troops have been over there way to long I thin they deserve to come home. What good is this fight doing anyways? Nothing that I see. What are you're thoughts about this whole debate thing? Who would you want to win?

Well, Blondie2222 Obama has ended the war in Iraq and our troops are coming home. It's afghanistan where our troops are still fighting and the president has said that he will end this war soon if I'm not mistaking by 2014. I would prefer someone who is not quick to pull the trigger and start such conflicts you describes.
I think that it is time for more parties to get involve into the presidential debate arena. This way the debates will be more interesting with more ideas on the table, or there can be a final debate where the president and vice president teams up to debate the opposing presidential debate team. They need to look at revamping this farce because if not, no one will want to watch these "dog and pony shows" much longer.

Something to clear up misinformation would be nice, like the one that republicans are quicker to war, a democrat, president Kennedy began the Vietnam War, his successor Johnson, (another democrat) intensified it. And Nixon, a Republican brought the boys home!
- Getting involved with the Korean War was an act of the United Nations, and the president at the time was Harry Truman a democrat.
- The US was involved in several NATO and UN conflicts during the Clinton administration, such as the war in Kosovo (Operation Allied Force), the Somalia /
Mogadishu event, and several other miltary operations. Our esteemed liberal press just doesn't make such a ruckus over it when it's a Democrat administration.
- If we didn't have debates we'd be stuck with being spoon fed by our own party affiliation. Unless one of the parties is influencing education and news 'reporting' then after a while we'd end up with something resembling a one party system.
- Debates are good if the people listen without their party colored glasses which seems to impair the hearing.. 'Both' parties included.

Everyone want life a little easier and hopefully, but they don't know how, do you?

My ideals and morals align more with Romney so I will vote for him. I also think that we forget that the vice president is a potential president and I would a hundred times over prefer Ryan over Biden. I'll be glad when the whole thing is over, but I hope that America will have another chance.

I actually find the debates worth while. I feel it is important to know where the candidates stand. The final debate was about foreign policy. This is important, since our nose is in the Middle East, like it or not. We are there, now we have to deal with it. Dictators endorse Obama, he has promised more flexibility to Russia and he has ignored our biggest most important ally, Israel.

I will vote for Romney as the lesser of two evils. Obama has done nothing but make sure he and his family enjoyed 4 years of living it up while I struggle to make ends meet. Another four years of Obama will destroy what left of the once great and respected USA.

I hear that. We went through it here in Mexico, 4 of them before the elections. Now we have to sit and watch the usa president debates on most of our national channels.

I like to keep a close watch on the candidates but especially the parties! As it's usually the party that drives the candidate. Then I vote aGainst the party the most gung ho for biG government and government takeovers as by listening to what folks from some other countries say, these result in log jams and shortages. Or worse.

And when they do respond to something it is to say that what the other just said wasn't true so what can you really believe? Obama has made alot of promises and hasn't kept any of them. And if Obama stays in we will have to withstand that Obama care stuff which scares me. I would rather see what Romney can do but I am very scared that Obama will make it in another four years. I really would like to see the Obaamcare go away. And I don't feel like Obama should get credit for alot of things that were just about to happen anyway. Obama just happened to be in office when they finally found and killed Bin Laden. They had been looking for him for ages before he got in there but it just happened that he was in when it happened so he will get credit for it. Not fare in my way of looking at it. I hope Romney wins the election but I doubt he will.

I have to disagree with you. Something did change. After over a century of no insurance for many, Obama has tried to make that a reality. So that is change. Although the TWO stimulus that Obama gave us, didn't do much, the fact is that our taxes went down in 2009 and 2010. And although Congress did work with President Obama in 2009 and 2010, after the Tea Party candidates gave the Republicans a majority in the House of Representatives, they have made themselves a roadblock to anything the President has done. So now we fact the Fiscal Cliff. No matter who wins the election, we still face the Fiscal Cliff, the bad European economy, and enemies in the Middle East. 2013 is on the way. If something dire goes wrong in 2013, it would be better to have a caring guy like Obama, than a rich person like Romney who doesn't have a clue what it's like to be poor or a middle class person down on his/her luck. Take us back to the days of the Lords and peons.

I am just upset that it means i have to wait another week to see some of my favorite shows, since it is being broadcast on all the major network stations, and I do not have cable.
I am better off than I was 4 years ago, so I really do not know who I am going to vote for. I am a person who does not make my decision until the day before the election.

I'm concerned of the outcome of the U.S. presidential elections. I guess i can say all of us nurses in the Philippines who dream of going to the states is concerned. If Barrack Obama wins, the U.S.A. would still be a closed market for nurses who seek greener pastures abroad. If Romney wins, there is a slight possibility of the U.S. being open for nurses again.
