It would seem both candidates were bullshitting a little bit.

My personal favorite was that free markets can't exist w/o regulations.
Most bad government has grown out of too much government. Thomas Jefferson
We don't have a free market therefore the statement is patently false.

No country has truly free markets, or at least they certainly shouldn't aspire to have them. Free market is just a term in economics books and one that doesn't really have any meaning if you are going to apply it to the real world. A true free market is an appalling concept and is good for only an elite few. Regulation is an important function.
Obama was kind of right really, all he is saying is that markets need regulation. That isn't controversial.
Well there is a typical statist opinion and Obama didn't say it, Romney did. Free market is a very real term and something we should all aspire too b/c your economic freedom is paramount to your overall freedom. The truth is the systems you prescribe too are much more inclined to crony capitalism than anything else.

If there is complete economic freedom then markets can be manipulated, for instance as commodities markets are being manipulated now. How is that freedom for people who are having to put food on their table? You need regulation to protect consumers. Look at how utilities in the UK have risen in cost since they were privatised? There simply isn't enough regulation on those industries. Nobody is made free by having to spend more money on necessities. Another instance is here in Korea where more and more Koreans are only being employed on temporary contracts. A better and more protective system that sides with workers rather than abusive employers would be better.
Crony capitalism occurs because there is not enough regulation. Corporations become free to abuse labour markets and in the bigger picture industries and markets are simply not regulated enough.

Romney Narrows Vote Gap After Historic Debate Win
SNL took a few pot shots at MSNBC and their coverage of the debate and how their entire station had a fucking meltdown because their candidate got his ass straight handed to him at the debate....and Al Gore said the altitude got him hahahaha....fucking morons every last fucking dumb one of them. I wonder how that "tingle" up Chris Matthews' leg is feeling about now![]()
I like the 'Hope is not a strategy' attacks on Obama....very clever to attack the vapid nature of how Barry got into office to begin with.
Thursday night, I may watch the VP debate, I'm certain Paul Ryan will be ready to rock! Joe Biden is going to get HAMMERED
IN FACT bIDEN wıll BE HAMMERED---RUMOR HAS IT HE IS DOING SEVERAL SHOTS OF jOSE cUERVO 20 mınutes prıor to takıng the podıum.
BO, got into office for a number of reasons:
#1 the Dems/Libs demonized Bush as a "war criminal" who along with the other Republicans were painted as being solely responsible for the economic meltdown. (which was a fucking lie)
#2. McCain/Palin was a horrible choice, and many undecided voters were disillusioned with the Republicans.
#3. Voters overlooked the fact that Obama was little more then a small time lawyer/congressman and black community organizer, who was totally unqualified to be "President", since he was elected in 2008 his leadership has been non-existent.
#4. Much of Obama's support came from the "undecided", (and blacks of course) white female voters, mostly lesbians/feminists, and Oprah headed nitwits (40% of white female voters) and younger voters who were gullible enough to buy into Obama and/or the liberals lies and promises.
#5. Voters bought into the liberal brainfart that a positive "change" would occur, another claim which the last 4 years has shown to be totally false.
