UPDATED: The jazz "zinger"

POSTED: Wednesday, October 3, 2012, 7:55 PM

UPDATE: It's true...Romney won.

Go crazy, folks. Go crazy.

Will Mitt Romney make it "zing" tonight. Or will he sing to President Obama -- how about Bob Seger's "Get Out of Denver" ("Because you look just like a Commie/And you might just be a member...")

Want to read some "zingers" even lamer than Romney's -- follow me on Twitter for some weak one-liners and shallow observations as the 2012 campaign joins the Mile High club at 9 p.m.. Or you can be anti-social...media and post your own reactions below.

What, you were expecting a "live blog"? Dude, that's so 2004.

We've already got a president who thinks that he can sing. He can't govern but he knows a few lines from Al Green's I am so in love with you........ Only those like Will think that this is an important trait in being leader of the free world.

Oh whoa, Mitt Romney has stated that he doesn't actually expect to significantly lower tax rates on the top income earners, and he doesn't expect to to run up the deficit with these tax cuts. Yet his website stated differently AS he was saying it:
• Make permanent, across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal rates
• Maintain current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains
• Eliminate taxes for taxpayers with AGI below $200,000 on interest, dividends, and capital gains
• Eliminate the Death Tax
• Repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
• Cut the corporate rate to 25 percent
• Strengthen and make permanent the R&D tax credit
• Switch to a territorial tax system
• Repeal the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
And he still hasn't named these magical loopholes and deductions that will be closed.

Mitt don't want to hear about no '5 trillion dollar tax cut'. He'll slash taxes, but it won't increase the deficit. He'll continue to tell you that, without specifically doing the math. People that have done the math say otherwise. Math.

You can tell by his facial expressions that Obama doesn't believe in what he is saying.

Wow shocking scatkins and Rufus think Romney slapped Obama around. I don't think Romney hurt himself at all. He of course lied through his teeth. His tax cuts and SS, Medicare reform points are egregious. Somehow Obama didn't go after Romney for his ridiculous lies. All in all, Romney did himself a solid.
