Reflections on the second presidential debate.
NRLC's Dave Andrusko comments on some of the more interesting results of Debate Two, such as the all-important issue of the economy, where Romney lapped Obama, 65% to 34%, according to a CBS News Instant Poll.  Read on.

A Draw, or Better Than a Draw
Obama did not forfeit the debate as last time, and took his cue from Joe Biden in interrupting and muttering while Romney spoke, so his energy made it an entertaining night. Nevertheless, the same theme as in Denver emerged — Romney more often providing specific proposals and detailed critiques, and Obama preferring more often emoting and running more on hypotheticals, as if he were not an incumbent with a depressing record that he is obligated to defend.

Once again, Obama’s record wins it for Romney.
On the economy, even a re-energized Obama couldn’t overcome one nagging problem: His record. When it was time to defend four years of stagnation, Obama bent time and space and blamed Mitt Romney.

Debunked: Biden claims HHS Mandate not an assault on Religious Liberty.
The real “fact” about the anti-conscience mandate is that it applies to almost all employers—including many religious organizations such as hospitals and social service providers. It requires them to provide coverage that pays for abortion drugs, contraception, and sterilization regardless of moral or religious objections. The mandate affords the narrowest religious exemption in federal law, effectively covering only formal houses of worship.

When Planned Parenthood kills women too: A two for one deal?
It’s an ugly, immoral job, but by using phrases like “termination of pregnancy,” “pro-choice,” and “women’s health,” Planned Parenthood has been able to maintain both a quasi-respectable public image and their killing fields—all at the same time.  That all changed in July when 24-year old Tonya Reaves bled to death after an employee at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Chicago aborted Tonya’s baby in the second trimester.  Roughly 12 hours after the child had been dismembered and pulled from Tonya’s womb, the 24-year-old was pronounced dead.

Biden’s lies about Religious Freedom
Here’s one final note about the vice presidential debate.
