[SF Republican]

when he refused to raise his hand at the behest of the moderator What does this mean? why did the moderator ask him to raise his hand?

[Petronski]

Moderator asked for a show of hands on a compound question about “global warming.”

[Aria]

Apparently she asked them to raise their hands if they believed global warming is a problem and Fred refused. Good for him! He has already said that he thinks the debates are like a bunch of trained seals waiting for a fish to be thrown at them. As run by liberals, they’re pitiful.

I missed the debate...dang it...will have to catch a rerun.

[SE Mom]

It was a slimy set up question such as -When did you stop beating your wife?

Fred was superb with his answer- and funny to boot.

[Brad from Tennessee]

It was a question about which candidates believed “global warming” was a problem. I think.

I saw the clip and it was great! THe moderator was some weasely woman who wanted all of those who agreed with manmade global warming to raise their hands. He said no...so she asked again, if that meant he was saying no..and he basically said that he was not going to do the whole raising hands thing..i.e. the subject demanded more substance and explanation

I loved it! And his pithy one-liners to Mitt were good too

I’m beginning to actually SEE what I’ve always enjoyed READING in Thompson’s writings...a thoughtful man who will do it his way
