My fiancee and I are having our 1st marriages annulled. It's not such an easy process. We had to get a lot of paperwork together, get witnesses, and fill out a very lengthy questionare. It also is costing us each $500. The process could take from 18 to 24 months to be completed. I wasn't raised Catholic, so this all seems pretty ridiculous to me.

This is what Romney said:
To me, it was an underhanded way of calling Obama a BOY. Romney's sons are men...in their 30's and 40's. He said it as boys on purpose. We all know why.

Last night when Romney was speaking I thought, "Oh, god. I'm looking at the next president."

One other thing: who the hell helped the president with debate prep?

I don't think Romney would have said I have 5 men. If anything he should have said I have 5 sons. I feel it's pretty iffy that it was a jab to Obama.

Women in our part of PA are referred to as girls. It is a colloquialism. Just the way we say it. I know you are an Obama supporter, but WOW that is a stretch. I did not and don't think anyone else took that statement as Romney calling Obama a boy.
I rank this thinking right up there with all the people who were making Big Bird a big issue.
I think this is one big thing that is wrong with supporters on both sides. They try to twist what was said be what they want it to be; i.e., Romney never said he "likes to fire people". He said he likes to be able to "fire people who provide a service for him"; i.e., contractor, hairdresser, healthcare provider (someone whose services you are displeased with).
I'm undecided. I want each side to be upfront and honest with me to win my vote.

Did we already cover this and I missed it? Did Mitt call the president "bro" at one point? I can not be the only person who heard it. I even asked my husband to rewind so we could be sure. We heard it.

I think to black people, the "boy" thing is much more than a colloquialism.
That was an OBVIOUS "zinger" by Romney, very rehearsed and practiced. That word was carefully crafted to zing Obama as a boy, in the colonial-slavery sense, and I absolutely believe it was intentional, even if I wasn't an Obama supporter.

You could always get married civily now, and just get offically catholically-married later, after the annulments are granted.

I was going to say the same thing. Obama is a competitor. I doubt he was pouting and sulking about his anniversary. They can find time elsewhere to celebrate, as any working person has to do.

Whether he meant it as RCW suggests or not, bringing up how the words are used where you're from is rather irrelevant. There is such a thing as context, and referring to a black man as "boy" has a specific context. Much as referring to women as "girls" in certain situations is particularly inappropriate, and that's without getting into how something being a colloquialism doesn't mean it can't be racist, sexist, etc..
I'm not sure I agree with RCW, but I felt the need to point that out seeing a black man being called "boy" hand-waved as somehow being similar to when it's done in other situations.

We've talked about doing this. Neither of us want to wait 2 years. We're moving in together in Dec and would like to get married in April.

As for Romney, this is pretty much an accurate depiction of his debate performance:
Or:
There's this perception that he did well because he told a whole slew of lies like he believed them. He can afford to be aggressive in a way Obama can't.
I wish Obama would have at least brought up how he tried to take credit for things in Massachusetts that weren't his doing.

Except that a trial is decided on the basis of proven facts and evidence. You can't just come in and spout off your opinion.

Same here. What the hell was Obama thinking last night?

I did not think that at all. This election will be won where it is always won...in the few battleground swing states...and Obama is leading in all of them, often in double digits. One bad debate performance isn't going to erase all that. Don't fall into the trap of thinking this is lost...that's what the Reps want you to think.
