Did Romney just change his tax plan? Wasn't he going to cut rates 20% yet he's not lowering the total tax burden "on the 5%"?

Oh man. "Cracking down on China." "I know how jobs are lost."

How many jobs did you send to China again, Mittens?

She's probably resigned now to how things are going to be...at least she's asking the specific questions.

Moderator fails to call him on not responding to the specific question about what is going to be cut. Moving right along because fuck your questions.

All she needs to say is "Governor Romney, President Obama you failed to ever answer the question so I'll ask again Question X please respond.

This is a bullshit question. 72% isn't correct and hasn't been for a long time once you account for all factors. White women make 97-98 cents on the dollar that white men do and make more than any minority group.

Maybe they blocked the actual first debate from their memory. :P

And not answering the specific questions or not, at least Obama is performing well this time.

At least he's not ignoring this one. I don't like the guy still, but at least he is actually answering.

I feel like Romney just made a threat. If you re-elect him, we're going to do the same thing in congress to ruin everything was the implication.

Just managed to get home to watch the debate, so I missed that part and don't know if it was addressed in the debate, but I believe Romney likes to pretend that since he'll be closing loopholes the tax burden on the top percentages won't actually change.
