>Romney's performance in the first debate was a disgrace. Nearly everything out of his mouth was a lie and a complete contradiction of what he is recorded on video saying in months or years past. I don't mean he stretched the truth or told half-truths. I mean he flat out lied and the Republican party seems to embrace this tactic. Romney is a scary candidate because there's no telling what he actually believes.

>The same can be said about Obama - and not just about his debate performance but about his entire presidency.

You should have seen the email conversation I had yesterday with one of my oldest friends, a college fraternity brother and roommate. It was a pretty smart group of people, other than myself, and IMO he was the smartest. After college he was literally a rocket scientist, working as an engineer on radar missile systems. VERY conservative. Among his more vivid comments yesterday was calling President Obama the antichrist. I said maybe we shouldn't talk about politics any more ;-)
