And why did not Bush say something at the debate? Why was he not paying attention? He did not have to say - he has cheat sheets - just say hey he brought in what was not allowed - whatever it was.
George Bush plays by gentlemen's rules. He would never had said such a thing.
OTOH, it was Lehrer's responsibility as moderator to say something to the debaters if there was a rule infringement, and he did not.
Why not?
He should have been watching much more carefully, if he plans to claim he saw nothing happen.
I think someone somewhere posted what should have been done here, and Lehrer should have told the candidate who infringed that it was against the rules of the debate as agreed upon by both teams.
Someone asked on another thread what would be the penalty. I think the penalty would just be to be caught in front of a nationwide audience.
But Lehrer was not going down that road, it seems.
You're still missing the point. Whether Bush failed to say something then (if you assume he saw) or if he doesn't want to make a point of it doesn't matter.
This FRAUD wants to be our president and we have a say as to what WE WANT TO MAKE AN ISSUE. As with the Swiftvets & Kerry's military record and with Dan Rather's & the democrat supplied forged TANG documents, Bush and company can decide not to challenge. But that doesn't mean we have to fall in line and keep quit. After all if we wanted to be mindless party hacks waiting for the party line, we would be democrats.
Whatever you point is - the number of posts on this thread is about to pass 1,000 (while over 30,000 have viewed it). So I'd say your objections aren't doing much good. But, if you're intentions are honest, keep following this issue and you may get the real point eventually.
