romney's closing speech sounds so much like so many things obama was saying four years ago. i guess obamaspeech, like obamacare, is something romney can support in certain limited circumstances.

"now it begins like a knife fight in a phone booth." - peter alexander.

I only wish that Obama had responded to that remark by pointing out that millions of taxpayer dollars went towards paying for the Olympics in Salt Lake City, and was the most costly Olympics ever hosted in the U.S.

I hope you don't think me out of line, but I find Willard Romney unappealing.

Did Romney really say that Syria was Iran's route to the sea? What the ever-loving fork? That just forking scares me. That he could win and have a huge influence on US foreign policy and he doesn't even understand the geography of the Middle East? Ok, lots of things scare me about the prospect of him winning. This is just the latest.

Straight from the horse's mouth: Obama wants to take away our bayonets.

I WARNED YOU PEOPLE.

first dey tuk der jerbs, and I said nothing because...

I can already feel the Kaiser breathing down our necks. Nice work, Herr Obama.

How did I miss this thread?! I'm glad that I was able to catch up on the 3rd pres. debate here. As some of you may know, I ran out of beer; therefore, I couldn't be bothered to watch the debates. Although I'm liking this horse and bayonet chatter.

I forget who said it, but I have to agree the GOP doesn't seem to know what words mean. But then I kind of question myself, like, do I know English? What's happening here? Does anyone else suffer from cognitive dissonance post debate?

ETA: I'm sad this thread lacks "malarkey" and "bunch of stuff" references.

If you can think of a better way for Iran to get to the water than going through Syria, we're all ears!

Russia! As if it isn't obvious.

Uh, through Iraq, Jordan Israel an Egypt. Lybia, Nigeria, Morocco. Now, you can try to get into the sea through Morocco, but if they're being jerks about it, divert their attention and cross through to Spain who will TOTALLY let you use their sea. Remember the Spanish Civil War? Yeah, totally.

In the meantime, you're going to have to act like you're just going swimming. Send your ships and stuff around Africa, to meet you there.

Are you so out of touch with International affairs that you have lost sight of that fact that Iran's GDP depends almost entirely on its ability to run Mediterranean cruises?

Good to see the Iran comment fact checked at least http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ele ... o-the-sea/

I want to go on an Iranian Mediterranean cruise. I'm curious about cruising over land.

You talk a leisurely walking tour of Syria first. That's their special selling point. Match that Greece and Italy!

Scenic walk through Iraq and Syria.

I think Romney's point was pretty obvious: Syria is Iran's route to a sea with white people on its shores. So nitpick all you want, liberals, but to Mitt Romney I say this: message received.

They have a tunnel under Iraq, so they only need Syria.

well, they could go through afghanistan, tajikistan, and china to get at australia. but what do i know; i've never run a business.

Um, I have huge crushes on all of you. Except Mumbles.

CBC summed up the three debates for me wonderfully.

Kittee and I voted Sunday by mail. As far as I know, neither of us wished we'd waited. Also, my thirst for oil remains unquenchable.

PIPELINE!!!!!!!!!! We're gonna run that sucker straight through Sesame Street!
