Romney-Obama III: 'The Brawl In Boca' Live Webcast
This evening's main event (well aside from the baseball and the football), taking place in beautiful Boca Raton, Florida will be fought over six rounds focused on the 'never-a-dull-moment' topic of Foreign Policy. After last week's STFU stare on the Benghanzi bungle, we expect the incumbent from the blue corner to come out swinging (on his experience). The challenger from the red corner, will likely keep his distance early on as general items such as 'America's role in the world' are discussed but once his jab has been measured, and the debate switches to 'The changing face of the Middle East', we would expect the haymakers to start to be thrown. Let's get ready to deeeeebbbaaaatttteeeee! And may the first person to point out where the Straits of Hormuz are on a map, win!
These topics will appear in the following order:
- America’s role in the world
- Afghanistan and Pakistan
- Red Lines – Israel and Iran
- The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism — Part 1
- The changing Middle East and the new face of terrorism — Part 2
- The rise of China and tomorrow’s world
For the Undecideds among you (or those that prefer to jeer or cheer), here are the latest and greatest videos from Thomas "Socialism Sucks" Peterffy:

Well, Romney is a Mormon.
From the Mexican-Mormon branch of the family.
It was a touching story of a poor immigrant family assisted by government welfare and going on to make good on the American dream...

Forget watching the sham, reading the ZH comments will provide all of the insights that are necessary.
I wonder if either candidate will talk about the historically massive (possibly the largest ever) private equity bubble that has quietly formed and is rarely, if ever, spoken of.
At the very least, it looks like we might be returning to 2008. At worst, it looks like there's a possibility, and some would argue that it's a probability, that we're headed for a massive crisis that will fuel another tsunami of deleveraging.
Thursday's WSJ article, on private equity firms "Debt Fuels a Dividend Boom."
Wall Street Journal: Debt Fuels a Dividend Boom
PE Firms are adding massive layers of debt to companies they own in order to fund payouts to themselves.
The deals are known as "dividend recapitalizations." Private equity owned companies raise cash by issuing debt, the proceeds are distributed as dividends.
We saw this during the buyout phase of the 2000s and it looks as if it is going on again. These private equity firms buy profitable companies, load them up with debt, take a big payout and then issue an IPO on the stock market for the suckers to buy, and also profit from the sale of the stock. The failure rate of these companies, on a statistical basis, is far higher than the normal rate.
Also, amidst all the claims of "record corporate profitability," even by some wise elders who contribute to the ZH top margin, few, if any speak of the counter-factual that publicly traded corporations have issued a record amount of bonds (also known as debt) during the last 3 years. Even considering they floated that debt at historic low yields, there's a far larger principle involved (pun intended), and it's on the order of many trillions of dollars.
Wait...who am I kidding? Of course neither candidate will mention these issues. This "debate" is about foreign policy. They really dodged a bullet with the collective brain trust that formed the "Town Hall" asking economic questions of the "candidates."
According to Gary Shilling, it doesn't matter who wins the debate.
I guess we're pretty much screwed in the short run no matter what happens.

Mitt's going to sell off the whole US to the highest bidder, outsource all jobs to the lowest wage payer, start WWIII to distract everyone and retire to the Cayman Islands to be close to his money after it all implodes.
Obama will endeavor to keep the mobs off the streets with more foodstamps while NOT doing anything to hold Wall Street accountable for anything and limiting the upcoming war to the neocon hit list
Does ANYONE really think there's much of a choice between these two? 99.9% of us are screwed no matter who is 'elected'.
Bull shit debate where the Yid media kept Obama off the fucked up economy. So tire of the Yid media bull shit. The gypsy shit does not work anymore, pack your shit up and go.
I'll take Mitt's energy independence promise as the single greatest reason to vote for him. At least a lot more can kicking time is possible with the Romster.
Romney is just the Great White Dope. That is the only reason to vote for him.
"With the Democrats and the Republicans, it's like Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb. There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two."

According to Gary Shilling, we are or were headed for deflation in 2012 (& 2010), 1998, 2002, 1983, and 1988. OK, 1983 was only inflation ending.

Thought his kind worshiped the State as it's higher power
He's part of the oligarch puppet class like Romney. Whether he is a Kenyan Muslim or a Hawaiian Christian or some other combination of stuff that flies enjoy eating is utterly irrelevant to the fact that he is an enemy of 99.9 percent of the American people. Like Romney. Engaging in the "which of them is less evil" debate may feel good but it accomplishes nothing.
i am excited for Gary Johnson's turn to speak.
I wish I could get behind Johnson, but he's a Republican corporatist at heart.
i would settle for one of those pretzel shaped fake dog shits. after these two idiots talk they could just pan the camera to the pretzel shit for 2 minutes. anything to not hear just these two.
if it looks like dog shit, sounds like dog shit...
.... walks like dogshit .... everyone knows dogshit can't make noise .... geez, kind a basic ?
+1LTER!
If one had DL'ed the BC from the official wh(dot)gov web page and opened it in Adobe Illistrator they could have clicked View>Navigation Panels>Layers and seen that there were multiple layers (7 iirc) to the doc filling in his personal info. Some professionals figured this out so quickly that Alex Jones was reporting on it the same day the thing was released.
I thought the whole thing was bs too though at first, but changed my mind when I saw one of the many lawsuits to block his inauguration was based on that he gave his legal name as Barry Sorento and a diff SS# when renting an apt while going to the Occsidental College in Cali (can't seal that). There were lots of things like this. The funniest to me was that his first book publisher said he was born in Kenya in the tiny bio paragraph on their authors - for six years strait.
Now the dude who created and instated the blueprint for Obamacare in his state is running against him on the issue. Wish I had done more with my life but leaving the house has been difficult this decade.
Alex Jones rocks.
“The only difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama is killing more people." ~ Penn Jillette
Not defending either of them, but what kind of math does Penn employ to come up with this one? By some accounts, Bush killed upwards of one million people. Obama is picking them off a few dozen at a time. How about this -- the only difference between Obama and Bush is that Bush pretended to be a cowboy and Obama pretends to be a Constitutional scholar, but they are both war criminals.
Funny that you equate it all to a math problem. One million minus a few dozen at a time=?
I have no problem with pulling the trigger to defend yourself or another innocent person but what bush and Obama have done well unless you have pulled the trigger to really understand what it means then you just wouldn't understand.
Did you miss my statement that both of them are war criminals? The reference to "math" was the absurdity of the attempt by the comedian to state that Bush killed more or less than the other, as if the body count dictates for whom one should vote. And the irony that his favored candidate killed more.
a very difficult analysis indeed. But a president who promises to end the war, says he looks forward and not back on the bush administration, expands secret kill lists with science fiction drones, bows to the same financial, war, drug and insurance gods, and continues to exponentially pile on the debt is a serious problem in my book especialy when he pretends and promises to be the opposite. Bush kinda admitted he worships oil not that I love him either. As I always argue, like the debt (and peak oil), each president will get exponentially worse until this place blows.
you mean Moron?
Naw, it's the MorMoney Church. Branch office in Salt Lake City, but based on Kolob, Mecrob, whatever. If challenged, Blowhammer will show you a birth certificate from there too.
and you are a moron.
Well, Romney is a Moron.
I was wondering why you were getting the downrating.
No to Romney
Jesus if this guy gets in god help us, has anyone checked his IQ

What if there were a shambate and everybody voted for a third party?

time to hit 'em with the Cliff, eh?
YouTube - Presidential Debate - Cliff Robertson Nails Mitt Romney with Question: 'How Do You Know?''
"Wal-Mart heir funding Obama big time."
How exactly does this fit into your rubric of the "productive class"? The Wal-Mart heirs occupy several of the top spots for wealthiest people on the globe. And they do nothing productive with their inherited (e.g., dynastic) wealth other than give a few mill here and there -- chump change for them -- to the political elite so as to garner influence. Their money buys them tax breaks suipported by the likes of you, and it is a high ROI indeed.
Wow. What a load of bullshit. And that bit about O'bomb-a's commitment to civil liberties was a real knee-slapper.
big bird, binders, and bombs, oh my.
Romney should hit hard that the best foreign policy is a strong domestic economy. Being a debtor nation in the trillions of dollars to China makes for an awkward foreign policy
Iran, Libya, Middle East are all just big fat f'n distractions. You can't have a foreign policy of strength when your economy shrinks year by year even with QE^infinity.
Yes, like how he told Jeremy the college kid from the last debate he would find him a job, and then later demanded low wage jobs return from China to America. First, this is a lie, as Romney would outsource every job he could. Second, I am sure building iPads for 12 hours/day without a bathroom break is exactly what Jeremy went to higher education for.
No, Jeremy went to higher education to hook up with loose chicks and drink Everclear.
If he's only qualified to assemble iPads afterwards, well tough shit. Still better than living off foodstamps or, even worse, becoming a useless, self-entitled government bureaucrat.
Yes, because all college kids are the same: they don't study, they don't have part time jobs, and they should have just gone to trade school to be a plumber, because fixing a toilet is the hardest thing ever done!
Although unemployment remains high due to a lack of growth, it has picked up since Obama became President. Bush lost millions of jobs in '08, Obama got them back. If you think Romney isn't going to outsource jobs like every Republican has ever done, you are a lost cause. Romney has made his money dismantling companies post bankrupcy. This is what he will do to America.
Can't you realize you are losing badly, and stop?
Bush lost millions of jobs in '08, Obama got them back. Bush 2008/Barky 2012 jobs:
Barky Obummer got them back? My God you're a fuking moron. Hey Phd Asshat, here is the actual data from the BLS you fucking communist shithat. Argue these numbers you stupid shit.
2008 total jobs: http://www.bls.gov/cps/wlftable11.htm
2012 total jobs: http://ebookbrowse.com/bls-table-11-employed-persons-by-detailed-occupat...
Bush had 145,362,000 jobs for 2008
O'Marxist had 139,064,000 for 2012
Obummer for net loss of 6,298,000 jobs.
Those are the fucking numbers by the BLS your stupid fuck, the very goverment shitheads you worship; and you're supposed to be an economist? Read the fucking data. It's right there.
End result, Krugman: wrong again like everything else that comes out of your cock recepticle. You need to be washing dishes in a restaraunt but I doubt you, like Barky O, has ever had a real job.
Just die fuckwad.

Please post your citations to the data.
I didn't even go into the prolonged survival rate of workers versus the death rate.
Anyone can post a bunch of numbers but posting the so called official numbers that many follow are what counts. Without a citation, your numbers are nothing but a dream.
The BLS is supposed to be posting the actual numbers, argue that those are false as they are supposed to have the real numbers from the states.
Please indulge me with your source.
Thanks...
As for Krugman, I notice he is amazingly silent refuting on my post although he has posted to several posters below my post. This can only mean to me that like all liberals, and not knowing how to attack me personally when truth appears, he's got nothing to the (real) purported data I presented. This alone should show what a loser that fucker might be. He either doesn't know how to do simple math (which took me two minutes to refute thanks to google) or he is a disinformation propagandist for Obummer.
I suspect typical liberal propagandist thinking but that is only my opinion...

Bush lost millions of jobs in 08-they just fell right out of his pocket. Obama looked down on the sidewalk and got them all back apparently.

Altogether, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost the U.S. between $4 trillion and $6 trillion, more than half of which would be due to the fighting in Iraq, said Neta Crawford, a political science professor at Brown University.
Her numbers, which are backed by similar studies at Columbia and Harvard universities, estimate the U.S. has already spent $2 trillion on the wars after including debt interest and the higher cost of veterans’ disabilities.

I didn't hear a mention of FED when they debated the economy, so I had to wait till after the debate in inbibe.
Tonight I've got a nice extra dry martini at my desk, and will have a sip every time Israel is mentioned. I think both candidates will do a love in over that little country.
Because both candidates understand the importance of the Fed. Economics is an agreed upon science no matter if the GOP or Democrats win.
Keep raking in the red Doc !
Joyce sure does look good !
Economics is one thing turning us into Zimbabwe and Fraud is quite another. Check out who in Congress told the Fed do less and who in Congress told the Fed to do more. Tell us Paul why didn't obama bring criminal prosecutions against the Banks that bankrolled him?
For all the bluster of Obama, pre- and post-2008, as well as that of Attorney General Eric Holder concerning the alleged criminal activities on Wall Street, there have been zero Wall Street prosecutions under Obama/Holder. Compare thatwith his predecessors Bush and Clinton:
Bush - 1,300 convictions;
Clinton - 1,000 convictions;
Obama - Zero attempts.

You'd think with that flawless record of no arrests on Wall-Street other than the occupy people, along with that master crime busting task force that took down those foreign Poker sites, that the Criminals on Wall Street would be a bit more grateful. But Hey, Mitt is one of their own. I mean, who would be a better president for Wall Street, a Guy who thinks economics is a wash and wear product and Wall Street sells it, or a Guy who took companies down using the TBTF bankers? The man who invented Bid rigging so the Major PE players wouldn't bid up a Major takeover target. The man who could singlehandedly close a factory down , send all the jobs to China, borrow billions to pay his firm dividends then walk away and let the company die in the gutter while dabbing at a small facial sore. Yeah MITT . Fuck em up Dude!
The choice here is clear. They want someone with a grander vision for the take-under of the US. Mitt has that vision. Hell , he's no stranger to debt and being overleveraged. Neither is Obama. But where Romney excels is how to borrow so much money, use it to pay off friends and himself and not get any of the Dog shit on him when the creditors come howling.
Maybe I haven't convinced you. You might be asking: Who else could top the performance of Holder, Obama, Geithner, Breuer and Bernanke?
Romneyites .
That's right. They'll have that debt up to 35 trillion by this time next year and the Hamptons and Greenwich Connecticut will be the first cities with over 1000 - 500 Million dollar mansions ..a piece...with NO PROPERTY TAXES. All with Handpicked elevators by Mittins and Annmny. By Gawd, we can't go wrong here. Wait till you get a winning trade at your Bloomberg and a message comes up with Jamie Dimon's Face saying "Not fair, confiscated, you won one in a row out of 200 tries douche-muffin. Bwahahahah .God I love me some of that Mitt in the morning"
Yeah, Man. This is the big one. Vote Dead and Vote often.

5. Since both you guys are on the same team, why can't we see a little love on the stage? A national sex act exposing all the debauchery?
6. How do you feel about the indefinite detention clauses of NDAA? Do you get an erection just thinking about it?
7. Can the war on drugs and terrorism ever be won, how so and who will pay for it?
8. Why does the US have the highest prison population per person on the planet?

A full scale replica of Paul Krugman's brain.
Two complete TOOLS of the elite's military industrial complex debate which one is the biggest supporter of the elite's Neocon war mongering military industrial complex war machine!
Two Israel first candidates debate which one will send the most money and weapons to Israel. Which one will slavishly subordinate American interests to Israeli military and foreign policy.
Two supporters of a police state and secret torture prison culture that subverts the US constitution debate which one is most pro police state.
Two candidates who support the US alliance with al-Qaeda terrorists fighting anti western governments in Syria and Iran debate which one most supports the Musilm extremist elements fighting in Syria of whom at least 3,000 known al-Qaeda terrorists are in the free Syrian Army.
Two candidates debate which one will keep in force longest the unconstitutional Patriot Act, which strips American citizens of every right they have under the US constitution.
This is the choice we Americans are lucky enough to have. Two candidates, both of which are Neocons, Israel firsters, tools of the military industrial complex, war mongers, drone addicted bombers, and out and out imperialists who want to use American young people to fuel the ranks of the war machine. Some choice!
Anyone who would junk your comment is a police state-fellating douchenozzle.
you don't like secret torture prisons? Of course we support an Al-Qaeda alliance, we created them. The Patriot Act. Have you noticed the more corrupt and autocratic a place becomes, the more its laws become acronyms?
Nice comments as usual
One drink for every time Obama slips in "got Osama bin Laden", and one drink for each time I feel ashamed that these two guys are our only choices. Is there enough booze in the world?
On a positive note, an astonishingly brave 14 year old Pakistani girl is going to do more for Islam's place in the world that all of Obama's drone strikes. Funny that. Maybe someday there will be an honest-to-goodness Peace Prize winner.

Speaking of Banking Queen Barney
(Reuters) - Democratic Congressman Barney Frank defended the nation's largest bank on Monday, saying in a statement that the government was wrong to go after JPMorgan Chase & Co for the alleged misdeeds of Bear Stearns.
Frank, the co-author of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law, said federal and state officials should reconsider holding financial firms liable for the wrongdoing of institutions they absorbed at the government's urging.
The unusual statement comes after New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sued JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank by assets on October 1 over mortgage-backed securities packaged and sold by Bear Stearns.

‘The Biggest Kiss’ Mitt Romney was right: Dodd-Frank is a gift to big banks
A few snips
If Romney touched a nerve, it was not because he was contrarian, but because he was correct. As many analysts and officials have explained, Dodd-Frank subsidizes large, influential Wall Street financial institutions, while imposing disproportionately heavy burdens on Main Street banks and the communities they serve. Even if we take President Obama, Senator Dodd, Representative Frank, and the rest of Dodd-Frank’s supporters at face value when they protest that they actually intended to rein in Wall Street banks, the laws they passed accomplish the opposite result. Intentional or not, a kiss is still a kiss.
In short, Dodd-Frank’s “liquidation” provisions will not actually end too big to fail—they will sustain it. Dodd-Frank has “ended” too big to fail only in the same sense that the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact “ended” war.
Nor can it truthfully be said that “taxpayers” will not fund the liquidation process. Under Dodd-Frank, the Treasury Department and FDIC can fund liquidations by imposing fees on financial institutions—fees that ultimately are passed through to the taxpayers and others who own the stock of those fee-paying companies or who are the companies’ customers.
"Let's get ready to deeeeebbbaaaatttteeeee! "
Ur, doesn't quite roll off the tongue that one.
And i'd hardly call bantering vacuous jingoism across a table to pre-loaded soft-ball questions, none of them touching on hard-arsed issues (like why do you 2 deranged WS sponsored puppets both support war, is a 2-way shut-out really democracy?), a deeeeebbbbbaaaaattttteeee

I think I speak for at least three or four people when I say to each of our Presidential hopefuls: FUCK YOU, YOU MOTHER FUCKING TRAITOROUS SCUM!
Forget, if just for a minute, the important issues that our three branches of government have brought about through constant violation of the constitution.
Let's look at the lighter side of the candidates, if only for one night. For instance, our president is an incredibly inspirational orator who, I hear, enjoys listening to Richard Wagner late at night.
We all love Dick, even Natalie loved Dick
(sorry I thought you meant Robert Wagner)
Know what kind of wood don't float?

"Everytime you offer an opinion, you have been wrong". Ouch.
Otool is rattling on like a pair of false teeth on top of a washing machine!
With the federal debt now running way beyond any ability to tax us out of this, what is your proposal for keeping the US out of likely default?
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-08/blink-u-s-debt-just-grew-by-11-trillion.html
Dangerous Growth
The U.S. fiscal gap, calculated (by us) using theCongressional Budget Office’s realistic long-term budget forecast -- the Alternative Fiscal Scenario -- is now $222 trillion. Last year, it was $211 trillion. The $11 trillion difference -- this year’s true federal deficit -- is 10 times larger than the official deficit and roughly as large as the entire stock of official debt in public hands.
The bullshit storm has started!
Rumble in the jungle (oh wait, supposed suburbia, yeah right).
Let the cow chips fall where they may.
Big ones, duck!
Two liars. Too confusing.
Obama said, "We went into Libya and immediately stopped the massacre there". Drink!
Hmmmmmm, to whom should we give guns and weapons ?
Thomas is a "fuzzy little foreigner".
The debate:
A contrived oratorical ruse,
No chance to happily choose
A leader with brains
So what else remains?
An excuse to let loose all the booze.
Bob, if you`re checking in on ZH whilst the antiC`s are responding to the script, check this link out and maybe you can go offscript with a question that Ax didn`t first vet:
Giants 6 Cardinals 0 Series over..
Bears 10 Lions 0 2nd quarter
Guns and weapons 1,100,000 Flowers and Sunshine 3
ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz big snooze
Television will rot your brain.

Which page in the Constitution states that the United States should police the world and have 900 military bases around the planet?
The "Ingersoll-Rand" and "Northrop/Grumman" section; invisible ink, but it's there for those with "special glasses".
Thanks! I will look it up. Surely these two overlords know their Constitution.
Umim and Thumim? :-)
Wink-Wink.
And little round bifocals, and monocles, and kaleidascope eyes.
Obama is so full of it, unbeleviable.
Not that I'm rooting for Romney, but Obama is lying through his ass.
