88Comrade2000 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Well in less than 19 hours is the final debate. This one is on Foreign Policy. Frankly, this should've been the last debate and tonight's debate should've been the town hall debate. ---------- Post added October-22nd-2012 at 12:30 AM ---------- Obama should win this easily because he is the President. The incumbent has the advantage over the challenger. Romney has fumbled badly on his foreign policy statements so far. Good thing for him that the election is about the economy. He's just needs to hold his own and not stumble badly. It looks like Obama hasn't gotten much of bounce from his last debate. So, Romney should just play it safe. Obama can reassure Americans that he is President and use the issue to showcase his strengths and why he should be back. He needs to make Romney look like a fool. If he's going to be like that on Russia, can you imagine him running your economy. Barring a complete stumble; I don't think this debate will matter much. The final 2 weeks will be about the economy. Still 9 more days for any October surprise and a November surprise that final weekend. I am already predicting that the October unemployment rate will be 7.3%.

Larry Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Who can prove to be more hawkish tonight?Drones- the same Iran- the same China- the same Afghanistan- the same Syria- the same Disagree. Romney will be adamant that everything Obama has done has been terrible. He never should have intervened in the Libyian revolution. Act of War, unconstitutional, made things worse. And he absolutely should have intervened in Syria. Brutal dictator. State sponsor of terrorism. Civilians are being murdered. All Obama's fault. Romney will not, of course, have any specific plans of his own. (I wonder if Obama will bring up Romney traveling to Israel, so that he could promise, in Israel, that if elected, the US will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital?) But he will be absolutely certain that Obama has not done a single thing right, during his entire term, and that Romney would have been vastly better.

Larry Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Will tonight prove to finally be the point where America realizes that both candidates are War Mongers? At least if you define "war monger" as "lent support to a revolution of the citizens, against their long-time dictator (who is also a state sponsor of terrorism), for a few weeks, without a single American casualty, and probably with very few Americans even in the country in question. And who has been getting beat up, in public, for months, for not intervening in another one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Direction Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm not sure what tone tonight's debate will take. Obama can't attack too much, can he? Foreign policy is not a widely debated topic these days, so any Obama attempt to nail Romney down as extreme will simply give Romney a good opportunity to appear nice and moderate in front of people. The same goes for Romney, for a different reason. He won't want to be too aggressive because he doesn't want to come across as a war monger. So I'm not exactly sure what Obama will do. I suspect he'll make technical points on Israel (Jerusalem as Capital?), and more general points on: 1. support for immigration reform 2. sanctions on Iran working (will be the most interesting topic) 3. populism on China (Romney will too) 4. drone attacks a positive 5. he got Bin Laden (should be #1 on this list) 6. Romney as a debt guy with $2 trillion in extra DoD spending (risk for Obama here is letting Romney explain his plan) I expect Romney to hit on tactics, specifically: 1. the story on Benghazi, perhaps juxtaposed with Obama's refusal to call Ft. Hood and the underwear bomber terrorists? 2. "undermining" Isreal by proposing that negotiations start with the 67 borders. 3. arming Al Qaida in Syria. 4. failure to reset with Russia, and giving up our missle defense program (and selling our Polish friends out) without gaining anything 5. fast and furious, generally 6. Sequestration of DoD I could be 100% wrong, but I expect this to be a technical debate with neither candidate wanting to attack too much because of the opening it gives their opponent, and Romney in particular trying to tie as many of these things as possible back to the economy and domestic energy production.

SnyderShrugged Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Funny. I thought that at least one of the definitions of "war monger" was "somebody who starts a war". Could you point me at the one Obama started? Or is that definition not "pretty much any definition"? Libya is a good start, I'd look at Yemin and Pakistan as well. , the definition also includes remaining in wars endlessly too. Just look and you will see my friend. The President is no lover of peace by any definition. To try to claim otherwise is dishonest. (add in rendition, NDAA and torture and you have a nice little GWB style trifecta too.)
