(10,091 posts)So basically Obama was terrible, and stupid people will vote for Mitt because he lied and they don't know any better?
That's just not the debate I saw. I saw a President who was actually describing how government works, and a petty nit-picker who pretty much said whatever he felt like.
This whole "low-information" voter meme is flawed. People don't have to know the intricacies of policy to be able to tell when someone is pandering to them and giving you a bunch of pie in the sky nonsense.
Mitt tried to say he's going to give everyone everything they want, add a bunch of military spending, all without increasing the deficit. Most people find that unbelievable, low-information or not.
He sounded like the king of fantasyland, no matter how much the MSM tries to tell me he won.
