Sorry, can someone catch me up? Did Obama make a joke about Romney being a polygamist?

Best fact check I've seen post debate...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fac ... _blog.htmlZan, they were discussing womens pay disparity, and Romney was touting how good his cabinet was in Mass., and he brought up the fact he went to women's groups to look for very qualified candidates and they gave him 'binders of women'.
This debate was much better for Obama, and Romney was about the same. The format really was terrible, though. I would've much preferred Crowley to manage the last debate and Lehrer to do this one.
I think any unbiased poll will say Obama probably edged a win in the debate. However, the same people will say Romney did better regarding jobs and the economy, so both sides will claim victory.

A certain loudmouth is suspiciously absent from this thread. Interesting.

I actually feel that is how it should be.
What percentage of these "non-citizens" are we talking about compared to the "rest of us", something like 3% ? Of that 3%, how many are actually sick? Why is there such a focus on illegals when right now when they contribute more to GDP than MANY other threats from all the issues we've got, WTF /boggle.
How is that any different when it comes to auto-insurance?
Ben is a smart guy, no question, but he can be equally stupid at times, like that comment.

Random Trivia aside, I have found ample evidence that he is anything but a smart guy.

Well I was just saying he had that show a while back I thought where it was "Stump Ben Stein" or something. He's always come across to me as a lot smarter than your average Joe

Stein is right to some degree. However, the problem is you can raise the tax rate on the super wealthy to 100%, but with the current tax code and it's loopholes they will still pay next to nothing. Regulations and taxes should be simple. Both are overly complex and totally weighted towards big business.
In regards to spending, the sequestration budget cuts should make next year fun.

lowering tax rates and closing loopholes does nothing
raising tax rates without touching loopholes does nothing
gotta plug the holes and raise the rates before the economy will start rolling again IMO

yeah no kidding. i lay blame squarely at the feet of every single motherfucker in federal government who signed that asshole's goddamn ATR pledge.

That debate was entertaining. It was funny to see obummer pissed off right out of the gate, and trying way too hard to impress his retarded base with fake assertiveness and laughable aggressiveness. It was also funny how he would step up in Romney's grill, invading his personal space, but Romney stood his ground and basically shooed obummer away. And for Christ's sake... why can't they find a mediator who isn't latched onto obummer's cock. Candy Crowley is a joke. You gotta love how she lied to cover up for obummer, and then 2 days later, when called on her bullshit, she admitted she made a mistake with the Benghazi cover up. Factually, Romney won again, of course. Obummer won the bullshit award again.
