Jon Stewart appears to be 100x smarter on his feet than the idiot O'Really, yet Stewart still made the basic mistake of confusing the debt with the deficit.
Then again, Stewart has a team of writers feeding him lines on his show.
But this wasn't his show. And getting the debt and deficit confused is really not that big a deal.
Yeah, it actually is a pretty big deal for a "political expert" in a debate.
Whatever, though. I'm sure they both had fun doing it, and it was nice to see people have fun with politics for once. My respect for both men increased, and the reality is that I view Stewart more favorably than OhReally, anyhow.
O'reilly at 20:33:
"If he's reelected the President, we'll have a 20 trillion dollar deficit even if he takes all your stuff."
Sounds like he doesn't know the difference between the debt and the deficit either...
I think there's a just a bit of nit picking here. People mix them up all the time. They go hand in hand.
No, it actually is an important distinction. It isn't ok to mix them up.
It's a common mixup. And it really doesn't matter if you talk about the complete debt and the deficit. It's all money owed. One is year by year and the other is the complete debt. You are nit picking.
It definitely isn't nitpicking. Are you ok with a trillion dollar deficit every year forever? Are you ok with a trillion dollar debt every year forever? Those are likely very different answers.
We had it right under Clinton when your guy took a 225 Bil Surplus and flushed it down the toilets of Iraq, Afghanistan, Medicare part D, and the Tax cuts that were all unpaid for.
Did you also think that Obama won the first debate with Romney?
In closing, Romney is a goddamn liar.
But Obama isn't?
You cannot deflect against your candidate by bringing up mine.
(well known RepubliCon tactic that is employed so much in this forum) Here's the bottom line:
Says the guy slamming Romney in a thread about Jon Stewart and O'reilly.
But since you said it's the "bottom line" it must be.
But Obama isn't?
You just asked me about the debate! You brought it up! Just so you could try to see me squirm about Obama's performance.
And when I don't squirm and talk about Romney's lie after lie (he is a supporter of the Ryan budget) you attack me for answering your question. Typical Con.

Even your own kind doesn't like him. And tell the truth, neither do you..
