"In what new ways do you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?" The false premise from a member of the audience was especially egregious because her question had been selected in advance by the moderator. The supposed wage gap between men and women for the same work is largely a myth. As Diana Furchtgott-Roth pointed out: "Women make about 95 percent of what their male counterparts earn, if the male counterparts are in the same job with the same experience."

Wrong again, lib. Even his former staff are coming forward with problems working with Obama- this is from the Washington Post. Don't call it the paper a hack, and be dismissive. Here's the link:

What part of Romney seems presidential? When he repeatedly barks the same pointless question at Obama ("do you check your pension? do you check your pension?") or when tells the President to "wait a minute you'll have your chance to speak". He's classless, but anyone who is dim enough to believe his constant lies wouldn't recognize classlessness when they see it anyway.

Romney's a butthead

why should others pay for your financial aid? I paid for my own college with loans and work. We dont have any money. We have to borrow to pay for your financial aid. How long can it go on?

Obama gave you a phone too, huh?

Student loans are considered financial aid. It's not coming out of anyone's pocket but the student.

You do realize that some of those 'promises' he made were before the economic crisis really set in? Who could have predicted before the election in 2008 that the unemployment rate would skyrocket to 10% when it was still under 7% when the election was held. Budget and deficit pretty much go hand-in-hand and how do you expect a reduction with 2 wars and a HUGE recession with jobs dropping across the board? I'm sorry, but if you really look at the actual numbers that are ALL OVER and extrapolate for YOURSELF, it's hard to blame someone for what was in a massive decline 2 months before his job started and has brought back to almost where we were in terms of jobs. The high unemployment was at 10.1% in Oct. 2009 (less than 1 year from the beginning of his term) and is now back to 7.8 (where it was when he started his term). You're telling me in a MASSIVE recession that a reduction in unemployment of 2.3% is not good enough? Is there someone else in the history of any country going through what we have that has done better in less than 4 years?

The deficit will take longer - read history books and take into account inflation, spending on defense/wars; getting budgets through a Congress that has been quoted almost monthly as saying their plan is to block anything from the Oval office and modern economies across the globe. This is not a problem that will be solved in the next 10 years!! What we can hope for is a continuation of the progress that has been made!

AJ
NOT GW BUSHES POLICIES BUT THE RONALD REAGAN'S ,I PRAY THAT EVERY MIDDLE CLASS AMERICAN WOULD GO TO " The Miller Center " AND RESEARCH JUST WHAT EVERY PAST PRESIDENT HAS DONE TO SEE JUST WHY WE ARE IN THE MESS THAT WE ARE AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE BEING USED ,AND WHOEVER IS THE PRESIDENT IS THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING THAT THEY THINK IS BEST BECAUSE EVERYONE DO NOT THINK LIKE THEM AND GREED IS OUR WORST ENEMY

Cj, they know what it was before Obama became the President so I don't know why they are acting like they were living the "good" life. Whatever President who would have come into office would have faced the same thing if not worse. All they want to do is cry and continue to make excuses because they are hateful people who can't admit and have problems with truth. Yeah Mitt will make it all better just vote him in and watch. Mitt was still having problems telling the American people what taxes he will cut and just as Obama said he's going to wait until he's in office and bullshit everybody that thought his word was bond. HE COULD NOT AND DID NOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION and seemed to veer off other important questions when asked. It certainly wasn't about who won and people sound so stupid and childish saying Mitt won. How? What did he say or was it because of his hype? Smh

romney's a butthead

Umm, I don't know what town hall you were watching, but the President of the United States took full responsibility and put none on the Secretary of State.

Touting the UN ambassador on the Sunday talk programs? You have a problem with expressing appreciation for someone that has served our country well and was killed in the line of duty for our country? Let me guess, if the Presidents administration didn't say anything about the ambassador, you would be complaining about that too?

Sorry Illuminati, but the President has done a great deal of good for the United States. Our nations recovery is on track, with little if any help from Congress. The Tea party Republicans did not go to Washington to govern they went with the attitude of my way or the highway and the Republican Party leaders failed to educate them on what governing means and how it is supposed to work as established by our for fathers. It's called compromise.

It pales in comparison to Iraq. Bush sent thousands of our men and woman to a war over oil on the false premise of WMD's. Now you criticize a president over a tragedy that happened in a country that is still embroiled in the remnants of a civil war. Bush got a second chance and so should Obama.

The Benghazi "mess" Is important only in the insulated world of conservatives and fox news. Whining about who said what and when hours after the most fluid situation possible- an attack on the other side of the planet in a country coming out of civil war and in the middle of a nascent protest over a viral video- sounds like the same worthless criticism everyone gave Bush over still sitting in the classroom on 9/11. Quit your whining and focus yourself on more important topics.

Did Romney tell us exactly what tax loopholes he would close yet? Did Romney release years of tax returns yet so we can see how much he really supports our country? Did Romney disprove all the credible economists who said his economic plan doesn't add up? Did Romney say he supports equal pay for women who do the exact same job as a man? Did Romney say that he supports a woman's right to privacy in their personal medical decisions with their doctor the same as men? Did Romney say what he would do when thousands of people loose their health insurance when he repeals "Obamacare"?

Yikes ... Joe Biden as President scares the bejesus out of me!

I saw the quotes from the good samaritans that volunteer at that soup kitchen. The meal had been served, everyone gone, the kitchen cleaned and the doors locked. As the real good samaritans were locking up they were talked into opening the doors by the Romney/Ryan folks so Ryan could pretend that he too was a good samaritan.

Continue to improve the country...only if you are an entitled welfare deadbeat. I am tired of going to work to pay for people who choose to make babies they afford, sit on their butts instead of trying. We should have Workfare - you want welfare you pick work for your check (remember New York?). So tired of the Obama handouts...if you hand food out to a wild animal, they become dependent on it...this is not different. We have created a country chock full of entitled, lazy folks. obama will only continue to hand feed these folks and they will never make it without us going to work for them.

@ Lisa- So you're tired of paying for people who make babies without being able to afford them, but you would vote for Romney and deny them access to birth control. Seriously? You're a woman who votes for Romney? So not only are you ignorant about people who don't look like you, (calling them wild animals- what's up racist) but apparently you'll vote against your own interest too. Enjoy your transvaginal ultrasound.

@ Kevin, cant afford a box of condoms?

Since when does health insurance cover condoms anyway? Oh right...it doesn't. People need to get their facts straight.

@ Kevin, you are the one who posted " but you would vote for Romney and deny them access to birth control. " CONDOMS ARE BIRTH CONTROL

Typical no facts rhetoric from committed liberal unwilling to see the truth

What Romney "said" was that a woman could choose ALL or ANY of the deductions to a certain $$ amount, decided upon by her income...sounds fair to me!!

Fact: The President of the United States stated in the Rose Garden that it was an act of... Terror. Check the transcripts david.

As for the Presidents record: Kept us out a depression, saved millions of businesses and jobs by making sure the auto industry did not collapse, Lilly Ledbetter, the first President to make sure that more Americans have access to health insurance, closing the "doughnut hole" for that was hitting Senior's wallets hard, As Commander in Chief ramped up the hunt for the terrorist, bin Ladin, and gave the orders with great faith in our Seals to take out the #@#@! that killed innocent American citizens. His administration has overseen the elimination of many high profile terrorist. A record number of criminal illegals have been deported from the United States. This President has done more for our returning vets and their families than any other president in history. This President has cut taxes. Not only has this President had the courage to call those who have been responsible for 30 plus years of a massive divide of income in America, exposing the fallacy of "trickle down economics".

The list is much longer, but there just isn't enough space. Bottom line here is that the President was handed a disaster on a silver platter and he has managed to keep Americas head above water and turn the economy around with very little help from Congress.

Earnest ....YOU need to recheck your facts. The actual presidential transcript make it clear that Obama was doing his best to include the word “terror” without actually saying the incident was a terror attack. After mentioning 9/11, Iraq and Afghanistan, the president said: “No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.” Then he moved on to the Libya attack. Get the correct, real facts, not the words that you chose to be fact.

If he stated in the rose garden that it was an act of terror...WHY did he go to the United Nations afterwards and state several times that it was a spontaneous attack caused by a video!!!!

Tom - Act of terror vs terrorist attack.... Really? You are really stretching.

People that still want Obama are living off taxpayers money. The problem is you want to vote for people that get freebies like OBAMA. YOU turn a BLIND EYE towards terrible economic news, DO YOU EVEN PAY for your GAS??? Then you never blame BUCK STOPS here for FOUR YEARS, Bush's fault. It's stupid and lazy like the welfare recipient you are. Obama never said how to FIX THIS JOBLESS, DEPRESSION ECONOMY. FOUR MORE YEARS OF SAME OL' SAME OL'. And then he'll still never take blame or call us racists when all races voted for him in 2008. Lazy and stupid. Romney knew his facts, is mature and hard working and is telling the American people about the Romney record vs. the Obama record.

Andrea405 - what kind of drugs are you on? As an Obama supporter and business owner, I must say, you're delusional.

If you care about the teachers union, VOTE OBAMA, if you care about socialized medicine, VOTE OBAMA, if are ready to move the US forward to global economic depression, VOTE OMAMA & BIDEN in 2013.

Wendy = wrong
Frank = right

If you care about Education you will vote for Romney...as the economy has worsened more teachers have been laid off...it has hit my family...my daughter (a teacher with a master's degree) was laid off!!!! We need Romney to get the economy righted in order to help Education!

Do you really think either President will be able to change the entire economy in 4 years and fix everything that has been messed up with it for years?

Sorry to hear about your daughter, but it's really not the President's fault entirely. PA would have been having economic problems regardless. People will always be laid off. It's a fact of life.

Romney and his neocon foreign affairs team will indeed lead us into Egypt and several other Mideast nations -- you know, the old WMD stuff. Romney tipped his hand when he will give the "Defense" Department more money -- even if the Pentagon didn't ask for it. No daylight between Netanyahu and Romney.

No, SOCIALISM has caused financial crisis, which is the greed of a LARGE TAXING Gov't sucking the incomes of people dry and giving it to LAZY greedy recipients that vote for this LOSING ECONOMIC SYSTEM.

Um okay. That's the liberal talling point, yet no actual facts.

And when Romney needs to make sure he has women on his staff so he can later use those women in an attempt to prove he supports women's issues, he summons his staff to bring him binders full of women.

Zoro - and just what were all of Obama's promises?????

Massachusetts voters have made it clear that they do not support Romney and do not trust him. Balanced State budget... It's the law. Now look into HOW he balanced the State's budget and find out why the Massachusetts voters don't trust him.

Mitt has been laser focused on the Oval Office since he was in college according to his college buddies. He lied to the Massachusetts voters and, as he is doing now, withheld information about how he intended to govern. Did he not run for a second term because he would have been shown the door? Did he not run again because he could check off the title of Governor for his resume?

and you heard about the elevator that only Romney could use, to me he looked like a spoiled child last night interrupting and crying for his time. I cannot see how people are looking at this. Obama was given a large amount of problems to work on and he has stayed to the course inspite of being slandered and criticized from day one. He was told they are a party of "NO" and he will be a one term president. What a waste time by these elected teapartiers. Earnest listed a few of Obama's accomplishments. We are on the right course now, I would only vote for Obama. The republicans really have no candidate and Ryan, wow, really scarey. Women are you listening. Please.

Just because you are a living definition of LOST, doesn't make it true for everyone.

Dude, you are the only one "LOSTED" here....

and what was the price of gas the summer of Bush's last term? you may not want to answer that. It was the highest it's EVER been. It has yet to get as high as it was under Bush. The only reason it was so low at the end of his term was because the Economy was hitting rock bottom.

The president has absolutely NOTHING to do with the price of gas. Global markets dictate it. Commodities speculators dictate it. Why are Conservatives so confused about this issue...Do you not recall the collapse of the Bush economy. Gas prices fell from $4 in August to under $2 in January...along with massive job losses, housing price collapse, and stock market collapse.

it has nothing to do with improving 100 percent, it has improved and the gas prices account for that. You haven't commented on the fact that prices were still HIGHER under bush.

yes, we need to go back to what Bush had to offer... 800 thousand job losses a month his last 6 months instead of the 3 years straight of job growth under obama

that's funny, the instant polls say differently.

The one "insta-poll" I like was the CBS poll on the Economy ... Among undecided voters 65% for Romney as better for the economy, 34% for Presidnet Obama.

LOL, that's is precious. He would have saved 4 american lives? You want to go there? How many lives could Bush have saved had he not IGNORED the warnings on 9/11? Let me guess, your not gonna blame bush for ignoring warnings cause that was clinton's fault? who exactly was in charge when this happened? Who ignored all the warnings? BUSH. so don't give us that crap about Bush would have saved 4 lives when BUSh couls have saved 3000 lives when he had the chance and ignored it. Not to mention the thousands of our own soldiers bush could have saved by not sending them to the wrong war.

You mean the way he saved the nearly 3,000 lives on September 11th after he was given the heads up that bin Laden was determined to attack inside the United States and he refused to listen to Richard Clark?

Romney is in bed with the exact same Neo- Conservatives that brought us the lies and the Iraq war. Romney is also in bed with the religious extremists of my Christian faith.

Romney's interests are not in the American people or the United States of America as he is not a man of conviction having been on both sides of every issue. Clearly, Romney's interest is in seeking a title for his resume.

Please ... Shall we revisit all the "respect" Liberals and Democrats showed for The Presidency during the Bush years?!?

the thing is, if everything Romney wants to do WORKS like he claims it will, then George W Bush would have been the key not speaker at the convention. Why was he not even in the building?

You're pickup station is at the cemetary and in the basements of the Chinese and Mexican restaurants. That's how the democrats win. They cheat the election rolls. But we digress from the debate, moderated AGAIN from a biased liberal media hack that gave the Democratic candidate AGAIN more talking time and less interrupting time.

How about the republican's in congress who BLOCKED everything he tried to do with a RECORD number of filibusters, then blame him for not getting anything done? Not to mention the economy he was handed (By a republican, none the less). Compared to what he was handed, he did a pretty good job despite the OBSTRUCTION from the repubs who claimed that their number one priority wasn't fixing the country, it was making Obama a one term president.

Dem's always point to republicans blocking as the reason Obama can't get anything done. You would think that Obama has only been President for 2 years What is his excuse for the first 2 years when dem's had control of Congress & the Senate.

it was for 134 days TOTAL. so stop repeating the fox talking points that it was 2 years.

Wow, you seem almost as flustered as Romney was last night. I am enjoying seeing many of the hard core right wingers come to the realization that Romney is going to lose in a few weeks. I expect the anger and hate to only get worst as their warpped world view is rejected by the American majority (again).

Oh dear, William I am so sorry. You know, now that I have a clear head, I know that the Democrats actually NEVER had a supermajority. Never as in not one day! Sure, if you add them with independents, they had 34 working days, but that, i realize now that my meds have kicked in, is just fiddlesticks. Anywho, have a great day!

LOL, reaching across the isle? Mitt Romney? Is this the same Mitt Romney that claims he 'reached' across the isle while governor of mass? the one with 800 vetoes in 4 years? That mitt romney?

Mitt's caliber? All he has done is be born the son of a very rich and powerful man. If you want to give him credit for not becoming a crack head and blowing everything he was GIVEN, that's your choice but truth be told, that goof ball Herman Cain was a better "business man", working his way up from the bottom. Mitt is a clown who was born on 3rd but think he hit a triple.

LOL, breitbart.com? There's a unbias source for ya.
Why not post a fox news one too while you're at it. We all need a laugh

The truth bites, doesn't it William? You can easily verify those facts if you choose to do so.

Moe, your guy is going to lose...barring Obama commiting a felony or getting caught cheating on his wife, Romney has NO CHANCE to win the electorial college. None. You can cut, paste, and parrot all the right wing talking points you want but this simple fact will not change.

The truth bites, doesn't it....

it has nothing to do with verifying facts. It has to do with bias reporting of said facts, not to mention that somehow miraculously the 10 worst lies of the debate were somehow all committed by Obama, how convenient.

Well Richard, keep getting all of your "facts" and talking points from the number one Obama fan site (P)MSNBC.

Moe, you'll notice it was YOU , not me who brought up MSNBC. I don't go to either them or Fox to get my "news" as both have clear bias. The simple FACT is Romney has next to no chance to win the electorial college barring an unprecedented miracle proving nearly every poll (from all sides) wrong. Hopefully once Obama is re-elected you and your elk with do one of three things:

1) Stop the hate and work with people from all sides to solve our nation's problems

2) Move out of the Country (to a new magical land with no taxes or problems)

3) Hang yourself from the nearest tree

I would prefer to see #1 but 2 or 3 are also fine with me....

Breitbart's sight is not a non-partisan fact checking sight. It is an extremist partisan hack website.

Romney is a flip floping clown. If Obama was white (or Hillary), he would win in a complete landslide. The only thing keeping Romney in the discussion is the racism of scared blue collar whites, mostly in the south and rural areas. Obama wins in most of the suburbs and cities. Basically any place with a diverse population and/or people who are educated, Obama domanates the polls. You can't win a majority when your base is religous nuts, racist, and xenophobes no matter how many Mr. Burns like rich dudes throw their money at attack ads.

Once Obama made it clear he wasn't going to passively sit back and allow Romney to slander him as he did in the first debate, Romney became unglued. He tried to lure Obama into an argument and when he didn't bite, had no real response. Romney was as unprepared in this debate as Obama was in the first one. Now that both men have seen the other's "A Game", the 3rd debate should be the best yet. Unfortunately for Romney, it likely won't matter as he needed a resounding victory last night to have any shot on November 6th. Instead he took a resounding defeat.

Huh? If neither Romney nor Obama are taking part, what is the point? Not for nothing but nobody has even heard of, much less cares what Jill Stein, Virgil Goode, or Rocky Anderson think about anything.

Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson is a good guy and should have been afforded more airtime but other than that, this Larry King show will be nothing more than a waste of time, watched by maybe 1% of the voting public.

Correction, Sharpie: extreme liberal Bob Schieffer will moderate the third debate.

Don't fret Sharpie, the world has plenty of sheep like Richard H and Jack Minster who delight in having their heads pushed in the sand and give thanks for the shade. The fact that most have not heard other ideas is the whole point. When the one party system controls the information, bad things happen. Just like Hitler's "brownshirts" who only did as they were told. Mob rule, better known as democracy, is what The Founders warned us against. They wrote and spoke often of its evils, and gave the world a Constitutional Republic, rule by law instead, not the majority, "if we could keep it" Fat, lazy, stupid, blind Americans can not keep it. Only Patriots, who speak out, who fight and die for what is right by law, can keep it, and it would appear by the actions of the American voters over the last 100 years, we are running out of them pretty quick. As our great experiment in Liberty fails for lack of support by the bloated fools, the majority, at the trough of democracy, their children and the world will know them for the cowards they are. My two cents.

Hardly matters who they have moderating a mock debate that shuts out any other voices, and any actual air to breathe. Humanity is it's own worst enemy. Would be difficult to come up w an enemy more damaging to humanity than what it chooses to do to itself. Always choosing the low road - 250,000 years worth of human beings on earth, and what do we have to show for it? Look around you at what we have chosen to become as a civilization, and a nation, and what we have done to our jewel of a planet. For what? money that is disappearing? We threw away all our true wealth, our own integrity, and the natural resources of our abundant planet. We will be left w nothing but our money reduced to a handful of dust blown away on the last breath of wind. We will watch it trickle away just like our very souls.

Not to mention that the Republican leader in the House, Mitch McConnell, said himself "My primary goal is to make Obama a one term President" just weeks after the 2008 election. Republicans care more about getting a white guy back in the White House more than helping the citizens of this nation.

actually, some people have to pay a lot more than that....my insurance covers it so I pay $9.50, but I know some women who pay $60 a month for Nuvaring, which is much much safer and more effective than the pill or the shot.

@Truthseeker- First, you're not fooling anyone by calling yourself an independent then using the phrase "Obama turth-denyer". It's painfully obvious where you are getting your information from- coughrushlimbaughcough. But you are right, it's not a 'war on women", but rather it's the fundamental mindset of conservatives. Romney's segment last night on pay inequality (binders of women) alone should have told you where your gender stands in the heart of a midieval party of white males. Plus Romney and his staff are on record as saying they opposed Obama's Ledbetter legislation. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to the debate.

@Kevin:
try to refute this:
http://youtu.be/Ro27bPKGttg
This Ad was done by REAL women, and exposes the lies o MoveOn.org, and Hollywood snots like Scarlett Johannsen, and Eva Longoria. Women who know NOTHING about Women's rights, because if they did, they wouldn't be supporting someone who has paid lots of $$$ to the Muslim Brotherhood, and condoned the actions of individuals who think its OK to shoot 14 year old girls who want an education, beat women, and rape little girls!!
Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) unveiled an ad today which speaks the real voice of women and clarifies the real record of conservatives. They show the real truth of MoveOn.org and the Hollywood snots, and how they have defamed and slandered pro-life individuals, such as Romney. As CEO and President Penny Nance states: "Hollywood actresses don't speak for the women of this country, and these Hollywood actresses clearly don't understand the issues," The women of this country want to protect their religious liberties, which are being taken away by the current administration. And the women of this country are concerned about more than their 'lady parts' this election; they are concerned about our economy and our national security."

And how, exactly, are they going to fix it?

@Morgan

Don't bother with the bait that Keith Best posts. Never has anything real to say. Nothing of substance, no reference to facts and nothing to back up anything that he posts.

Meanwhile Romney has been running for President for the past NINE YEARS! Keith, your logic is not the "best".....

Imagine that, Keith. The most important job in the entire world, elected by people who obviously cared nothing for the man's credentials and performance record. So we know it's not about that. It's a beauty contest, it's an infomercial competition.

Might as well let the American Idol or Voice judges pick our next President, since the electorate apparently has zero interest in the actual abilities and talent of the candidates to lead the free world.

Jack, you finally get it.

Wow, this is crude! Are you really a loving woman that has responsibilities to a family and not just to an employer? Since I'm an adult with a family, I may have to prepare dinner. No, I'm not barefoot, pregnant and chained to a stove. It's an adult responsibility to take care of people you love and teach children in a loving environment responsibility. I would love to have a boss like Mr. Romney who understands that!!!

Uh oh- even TIME magazine a very liberal magazine, which means they are going out of business is now reporting the FACT that women are not treated so great by Obama and his administration. Here's the article:
http://swampland.time.com/2011/09/21/the-white-house-boys-club-president-obama-has-a-woman-problem/

Wait a minute - I thought Romney wasn't responsible for Bain capital since he left - China outsourcing, etc - and there were no female partners at Bain when he was actually there. Not that he, or Obama, have any real say over what salary their employees are hired for.

Morgan,

I had let you in on the fact that Romney-Ryan lawn sign theft is a rampant problem in PA of which the state police are aware: you respond by saying "both sides do it." Are the state police aware of your evidence?

I stated a fact, considering I have two female relatives working at Bain: the corporation still runs under the Romney founding principles of equal pay for female employees: you obfuscate this but offer no refuting evidence.

Also you raise "outsourcing to China" - wait a minute - if you are criticizing a business about how it chooses to run its business, where is your criticism of President Obama and his administration outsourcing American debt to China? Are you a Bain shareholder voting for a Board of Directors, or a citizen voting for US President?

If you were elected President, Morgan, would you pay Sensata Technologies to keep their business in Ilinois to offset the lost profit Sensata would realize offshoring their labor? Or fine them for doing so? If you fine them and they close their doors because they cannot return an adequate profit to shareholders, would you consider that a win?

Sigh. Are you conjecturing that no Romney voter would ever take a yard sign? That's ridiculous. Of course I'm criticizing how they run their business, and I've opposed our nation's debt to China on here at every reasonable opportunity, though it's pretty absurd to lay that at Obama's feet - our economic problems with China go back to Nixon and Reagan. Offshore labor has been at the root of our current recession - the problem is much more systemic than a single company.

If you want refuting evidence of a lack of female partners during Romney's tenure at Bain, there's ample reporting on it only a quick Google search away:

http://www.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2012/10/16/fact-check-romney-record-hiring-women/r3gqpykaQudNNqigmLZfuJ/story.html

Dog chase tail. You failed to answer the questions. Business owners assemble teams of the most qualified individuals. Again, are you a Bain shareholder or a voter for US President?

Obama pays his female staff 18% less than male staff, positions equal. Bain Capital pays equally to both genders.

Back to those questions...

It seems, rather, that you simply fail to understand the answers. I hope you can see the cognitive dissonance of "female employees at Bain Capital receive pay equal to their male counterparts" and "business owners assemble teams of the most qualified individuals" when those individuals are almost exclusively men at the partner-level. Perhaps you've encountered the idea of the glass ceiling? There's more to this than equal pay for equal work, there's equal opportunity to advance, which is usually taken into account when discussing gender pay discrepancy. Let's a have a look at the FOX article about this '18% less' issue:

"In the Obama White House, for instance, the difference appears to be not that women are routinely paid less than men for the same job, but paid less because there's not as many women in the highest echelons as there are men."

Considering that, do you really think Bain's discrepancy isn't way higher than 18%?

Of course, as I said in my initial response, how does any of this have any remote bearing on the election? Who cares who was in charge of new hires during Romney's tenure at Bain, and who thinks Obama has anything to do with hiring and salary at the White House? This is a foolish distraction. All I was commenting on that it's pretty ridiculous reasoning to give Romney credit for the women employed at Bain since he left the firm while, at the same time, giving him no culpability for their business dealings since he left - pick one or the other.

As it is with the Sensata Technologies issue that you raised, it does seem to me that you agree with Obama's policies...believe the White House should micromanage the free market. Forcing businesses to employ only American labor. Forcing female hiring quotas at all levels. Fining businesses for not providing health insurance whether they yet can afford to or not. Taxing US businesses at higher levels than anyplace else in the world, but fining them for non-compliance with burdensome new regulations.

I see many Romney-Ryan signs popping up in front of small businesses where I did not see McCain signs in 2008. I see signs now on lawns of single mothers and dual-income households. I guess they don't want to move the country Forward into four more years of business owners on strike, rising prices, stagnant incomes, apathy and blame.

I feel there is universal acceptance, or close to, regarding politicians lying during public statements just to get elected. The questions to me are 1. Why do voters accept the lies? 2.Why do voters vote for the liars? Surely you can not believe that only one party is guilty? Do you? There are other choices despite what the two liars tell you.

Foreign policy of "leading from behind" always playing defense, versus peace through strength.

Domestic policy of attacking businesses purportedly to strengthen the "middle class."

Blaming everyone and anyone for all failures except himself.

Pretending to care for the less fortunate while sinking them deeper into poverty, creating the deepest class divide this nation has ever experienced.

Trying to generate apathy among female voters to distract them from the reality of their declining quality of life caused directly by his policies

Obama. Go ahead. Blame Romney. Blame Bush. Blame prior Congresses. Blame everyone except our leader. Vote for more of that if you want.

Flex time and birth control are two of the big issues facing Americans today. You are pathetic.

Jack you are full of it. You spew Romney campaign progaganda as if it where truth.

"Domestic policy of attacking businesses purportedly to strengthen the "middle class."

Name the policy that attacks businesses? And tell us how that policty hurts business?

"Pretending to care for the less fortunate while sinking them deeper into poverty, creating the deepest class divide this nation has ever experienced."

The divide is born almost entirely of trickle down economics and absurd tax cuts for the wealthy. That is factual.

"Blaming everyone and anyone for all failures except himself"

More right wing hysteria. I think the appropriate comment is about the right refusing to acknowledge that it's ideology of tax cuts and massive spending have failed America.

"Trying to generate apathy among female voters to distract them from the reality of their declining quality of life caused directly by his policies "

Again, what policies? Republicans have slashed government employment, jobs typically held by women.

I think, Jack, you are nothing more than a coward who is afraid to admit he has it all wrong.

Libya was stable, and the oil money was spread around a little at least. Having him gone finds that country in anarchy, fueled by the weapons NATO terrorist conviently left behind. After the brief vacuum of anarchy, follows oligarcy, as it always does, ruled by the terrorist that started the insane process, us. Immoral behavior like this, sanctioned by the American voter, is disgusting, illegal, and unconstitutional. We need to be ashamed that we not only allow it to happen, but ask our own children and grandchildren to pick up the check. Wake up sheep!

I will give you that. But do you think that the other candidate is able to accept the responsibility and handle it appropriately? I seriously doubt that will happen. I would not ever speculate that this would be a watergate situation. But everything else that pops out of the woodwork for the past 20 years has been a big surprise and heartache. It doesn't just start with this President although alot of suspicion is blamed here for something that happened years ago.There isn't very much that can be blamed on Obama it was already here. So this Libya is like the tiger that is biting him in the rear & Romney is running with it. Look what else the republican party has been part of all these years? Does that immediately get swept under the carpet & go away because it's now? All of us are paying dearly for a program 401K that took our money - lots of it & landed us with nothing in return. I've had pensions that went that way with nothing to compensate my retirement. I do realize that I am not the only one. We busted our butts to be employed only to have companies go out of business or bankrupt. I don't hear a word about what Romney is going to do for all of us in retirement age. He doesn't care, he has his slush funds & he is going to be comfortable in his old age. What about the 47% that has about lost everything? You think tent cities has been placed for emergencies, this will be another epidemic & it is coming, partially it here now.

So Jack do you share an equally harsh view of the Bush Administration? On their watch 3000 Americans where murdered in NYC on 9/11/2001. Bush was handed intelligence warning of the attack and did nothing.

Forward a year, Bush and his cronies start blowing the trumpted to invade Iraq making false claims about chemical weapons and ties to Al Queda. $000+ American lives and billions of taxpayer dollars later we see that it accomplished nothing, and Bush and Co. knowingly mislead the Congress and the American people.

Did you vote for Bush in 2004? Then if so shut your hypocritical anti-American mouth. .

Yes, well, let's not forget that we are NOT actually hearing any of the third party candidates tonight, some of whom will be on the ballot in 48 states. Rather hard to hear what is NOT being said or aired on television. And, that's the truth.

Remember King Larry will be moderating the real Presidential debates tomorrow evening, Oct. 23rd at 9:00 EDT on www.freeandequal.org. Please inform your fellow citizens about the Presidential debates tomorrow evening. All Americans deserve to hear from Presidential candidates who can technically win b/c their names will be included on most state ballots.
