Old Progre$$ives talking heads never die, they just get shuffled off to new assignments.
Reporting FRom Hades, This is Bob Schieffer, SeeBSNooz.

I was under the impression that it was some committee that picked out the moderators and the candidates have nothing to do with it.

Riddle me this. During the 2nd debate obama ordered Crowley to “get the transcript” at which point Crowley obeyed and picked up a piece of paper (the transcript) and inserted herself in to the debate, taking Obama’s side purportedly confirming that he had called the attack a “terrorist attack”. He then asked her to read from it verbatim.
Why on earth would Obama know that Crowley had the transcript of his rose garden remarks on the table in front of her? Did she have the transcripts of every single press conference over the last 4 years there? No. But b.o. knew that she had this one.

My only concern about Savage moderating a debate is that I don't want anyone using a stage name at something as important as a presidential debate. If he were to do it, it needs to be with his given name. Do any of the liberal moderators use stage names?

RE :”
Yes we did. And as SickOfLibs said, someone had to agree to this. Either the Romney team or the RNC agreed to this, perhaps both.
Do you think the Democrats would have agreed to four FoxNews talking heads? Why does our team agree to it in reverse?” My tolerance for knee-jerk off-the-cuff victim-theme defenses for Rs expired about 2007.
Back when the 47% vid came out Rush was praising the comment and many here followed, then Romney told Hannity it was ‘totally wrong’ and I heard Rush last week say that Romney talking about 47% at all is risky because it can be effectively used against him, used to accuse Romney of wanting to raise taxes on them.
If you ever watched A+E Intervention you will see parents crying and hand wringing over their addict kids, very dramatic, and then you see many of them give their addict kids money to buy more crack or meth claiming they have to to ‘keep them out of jail’. It's called co-dependency.
I am no longer a co-dependent of Republican victim syndrome. They need to grow some....

I honestly don’t know, but it would seem these folks would have to be connected in some way the candidate or the RNC.
I wouldn’t agree to a totally unassociated person or group setting it up.

Fair enough....
Savage = Weiner
Schieffer = Alinsky
Crowley = Piven

No, they need to be fired, and replaced.
They will never grow some.

Comment #30 Removed by Moderator
To: DoughtyOne
RE :”
Well that's good to know. Now, what does that have to do with the comments I made? I am taking the Romney team and or the RNC to task for agreeing to these moderators. “ I was agreeing with you and expanding my thoughts.
Also, I was having trouble connecting to this site (only this one) on and off all day so trying to get that and other comment edited and posted was very painful, it took many painful clicks and waiting to see if the page went blank.
I was not meaning to disagree with you. Thanks for mentioning me :)

If your intent was not what I thought it was, then I’m willing to apologize to you. I have no interest in treating people unfairly. I will take you at your word, and I am sorry I took your post the wrong way. Please forgive me for responding as I did.
Almost all your posts here are appreciated. There are some times when they seem rather pointed. The somewhat combative nature of the forum contributes to the ease of taking things that way.
Thank you for your response. Sorry to hear you’re having problems getting in today. That really frustrates me during the debates. I’ve given up trying.
Hope you afternoon and evening goes better.

Folks, once in a while I make a mistake here. I believe I made one a while ago, and I'd like to explain.
On Post 30 here, I reacted to some comments SickOfLibs responded to one of my posts with.
My response was decidedly negative. I have come to believe it was in error. I asked the moderate to remove it from the forum.
I did that, because I don't want folks reading the comments to SickOfLibs, without knowing that some things took place subsequent between us, that I believe revealed my post to be inappropriate.
At the same time, I didn't want to get away with making those comments, and others not being able to see what I had done.
SickOfLibs explained that I had taken his comments wrong. I accept that. I have sincerely apologized. I am sorry that I did take his comments the wrong way. I am sorry I responded as I did.
I am now linking my comments to him, so that folks can review what I said.

"Prediction...media will try to spin an Obama win..."One thing we can be sure of, if Odumbo did nothing more than walk onto the stage, drop his drawers, defecate on the stage and walk off, the media would declare him the winner.

I can’t believe he would be so stupid. He has to have seen how the first 2 debates went and the criticism the moderators faced especially Crowley. I am hoping he is such an old fart that he will be thinking about his reputation and will want to at least make an attempt to be fair. He cam’t really help an empty suit anyway.

OR.....he feels nothing really happened to the moderators in the first debates, what does he have to lose. He knows this will probably be his last opportunity as a debate moderator, why not make his career worth something as noble as helping re-elect Obama.

“Romney needs to be prepared to dress-down Schieffer “
No! Schieffer’s going to try to draw him into doing just that inappropriately.
There’ll be a trap this time to turn Romney’s aggressiveness and assertiveness against him.

I would love for MR to say to Zero and Schieffer before the debate begins: “For the record, did you, or anyone on your staffs, discuss the questions to be asked tonight with each other, or in any way discuss the strategy to be used to assist the POTUS? 65 million Americans are waiting for your answers!”
