Is it just me or is Mitt coming off as an arrogant jerk? Sit down and shut up like Candy wants you to!
Be strong, Candy!
Once again Willard is trying to bully the moderator.
I am a nurse with a good job, who sees health care issues first hand in an American Hospital. All I can say is please don't let the republicans win this race. Not only will our Health care be destroyed, so will education, this will have us fail in keeping up with the rest of the world for the future
Romney wants to make things up as he goes along. it is like trying to nail jello to the wall. He would say he's in favor of anything to get elected. Let's pay attention to what he's done and said for the last 6 years not just Moderate Mitt is saying in the last 2 weeks.
Hope and change> Same old circus-same old clown!
So gas prices go down and the country goes into economic disaster???
Which tax deductions are you going to cut, Mitt?
Willlard will lower taxes and magically create 12 million jobs. This new policy on taxes for the wealthy is exactly the opposite of what he and Ryan have said for the entire campaign now he wants to take it all back.
Enery! Wow those green investments have really paid off. What, another government investemnt in a battery company sure was a sound investment.
Romney is such a lire!!! He is rude and a bully! Very offensive!
The president has nothing to show as results much less as a path forward
Candy Crowley is not capable of handling the aggression of Mitt Romney. She is doing an awful job
So was Willard telling the truth during the convention or now?? Anyone that believes anything he is saying tonight is certifiably insane.
OBAMA 2012!
If you are going to fund give away programs taxes will have to increase
Go Obama. Romney is full of lies!
Will you just answer the question Romney? Oh and now he is for wind energy!!!
Romney has not given one concrete example of what he will actually do. His mathematics just don't work. The stock market has doubled since Obama took office, increased job growth, saved the auto industry, and tried to stop the Bush tax cuts. The republicans have been about as obstructionist as I've ever seen.
Bring out the big CLINTON guns.
Anonymous, no one is capable of handling the aggression of Mittens. Mitt has to have the last word at all costs.
Hey Mitt, try the gas prices in the UK – about $10 a gallon...
O-O-Obama, O-O-Obama, O-O-Obama. Make Willard answer for what he has said in the past.
Romney is a bully and will not raise taxes on the 1% – why that would include him now wouldn't it.
Romney does not appear to be able to handle the President. He's slightly obnoxious and rude to the narrator.
Romney keep cutting Obama off. Because he know Obama is right
And, while Romney was on 60 minutes. Our President was in The View! Enough said.
