They are attempting to rewrite history of course.

Normally, I won’t miss these Debates for anything. However when I saw that Candy Crowley was running the Show, I deliberately didn’t watch it. Due to her, I won’t watch her on TV News either for I just can’t abide her being so one-sided.

The damage has been done. The only voters still undecided will tend to be people who will not go beyond the superficial first impression of Romney being a lying jerk. That does not mean that Mitt can’t still win, but it is another self-inflicted wound that makes victory harder than it should be.

Contact CNN and tell them how you feel about Crowley!

No it doesn’t.

Obama is going for the moron vote, and morons are going to vote for Obama, that is all there is to it.

There is no point in even concerning ourselves with how many morons are going to vote for Mitt Romney, honestly, they are lost in their own blithering stupidity, write ‘em off.

I watched Fox last night. There was a separate focus group of undecided voters watching from Nevada. After the debate and the initial exchange of reporting, the focus group was asked how many had voted for Obama in 2008 - all hands went up. They were then asked how many would vote for Obama this year - only 4 hands went up. They were now asked how many would vote for Romney. Nearly all of the remaining hands went up. When asked their impression of Romney, each member responded with words like: "presidential", "a true leader", "our next president". This group was composed of the average day voter and the majority chose Romney. I fully expect the mainstream media to be very surprised when Romney sweeps the election.

The lame-stream push is NOT WORKING.

Women are breaking for Romney. And why? Because of the long forgotten SOCCER MOMS. You can’t spin who is going to keep the children safe from muslim terrorists. You can’t spin that Zero is nothing but an apologist for this country.

Also, the lame-stream claim that Biden won the veep debates is ANOTHER LIE. Look at the Gallup poll released today with Romney at 51%. This poll took in people who had seen the veep debate and that SMIRK was all Bite-me could do to reply to any criticism of the last 4 years. The lame-stream declared Bite-me the winner but THE PEOPLE WERE NOT FOOLED!

Self-inflicted wound?

Are you some kind of nut?

Romney has been completely dignified in every public appearance.

(unfortunately the same cannot be said for your presence here)

[Kaslin]

That arrogant pos is counting on the ignorant to reelect him

[Colonel Kangaroo]

The drama, the contrived trap that Mitt walked into, was theater for the benefit of the viewer who rarely takes time from American Idol to pay attention to world events.

And Hillary runs away to Peru and makes a statement where she didn't to face reporters questions

And her and Obama's lies about the film stirred up muslims in the other countries who never even knew it existed

And Obama hasn't held a presser to discuss the issue

Romney ought to emphasize these points

I just hope she doesn’t recite poetry

[IWONDR]

Obama says (impression), “Check the transcript,” and Candy Crowley had it! Did you notice that in this video? Romney goes out there and says, “You didn’t call a terrorist attack. It’s on the record. You want to say you called it a terrorist attack?” Obama points at Candy, “Check the transcript,” and she lo and behold, she had it! Shazam! The president said to the moderator (impression), “Check the transcript,” and she had it (laughs) and she read from it! And it was a lie. It was wrong, and so she walked it back last night.

I THINK THIS IS THE MOST CRITICAL ASPECT OF THIS EXCHANGE THAT WAS OVER LOOKED:

HOW DID OBAMA KNOW THAT CANDY CROWLEY HAD A COPY OF THE TRANSCRIPT OF WHAT HE SAID ABOUT LIBYA AFTER THE SEPT 11 ATTACK?

WAS HE GIVEN A HEADS UP BY CNN OR CANDY ON THE QUESTIONS THAT WOULD BE ASKED DURING THIS TOWNHALL MEETING IN ORDER TO PREPARE FOR THIS DEBATE ????

With the other side promoting partial-birth abortions and a militant homosexual revolution, the voting stakes are too high to indulge my normal contrary contributions here. I think I need to take a break from posting until after the election. Thanks for giving me something to consider.

Absolutely!!

That was my reaction while watching the debate and I tuned into just about every news discussion program yesterday to see if anyone else hat noticed the obvious. The only reference to this came in the form of an email to Bill O'Reilly who dismissed it by saying Crowley knew the questions in advance and brought along the Rose Garden transcript. That does not add up. She had to have tipped off Obama ahead of time. Here's the transcript:

---

MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, I — I certainly do. I certainly do. I — I think it’s interesting the president just said something which is that on the day after the attack, he went in the Rose Garden and said that this was an act of terror. You said in the Rose Garden the day after the attack it was an act of terror. It was not a spontaneous demonstration.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed.

MR. ROMNEY: Is that what you’re saying?

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Please proceed, Governor.

MR. ROMNEY: I — I — I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the president 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Get the transcript.

MS. CROWLEY: It — he did in fact, sir.

So let me — let me call it an act of terrorism — (inaudible) —

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Can you say that a little louder, Candy? (Laughter, applause.)

MS. CROWLEY: He did call it an act of terror. It did as well take — it did as well take two weeks or so for the whole idea of there being a riot out there about this tape to come out. You are correct about that.

---

Notice, that when Romney began his response, Obama sat on his stool, calm and composed like a cat waiting to strike. He even responds to Romney by saying: Please proceed, governor.

It was a setup. You and I caught it ... and I'm sure there are plenty of other Americans just as frustrated with the media for short changing Romney by not addressing Crowley for aiding and abetting Obama.

[Batman11]

That FTOG hurt Zero more than she helped him! I have no more words to describe my hatred, that’s right I said it, for the State Run Media!! IMO, not enough bad things can happen to those people!
