'Independent' Audience Asks Twice As Many Anti-Romney Questions

Candy Crowley’s disgraceful performance tonight masked her true failure: her failure to pick questions outside the Daily Kos mailbag. Here’s the full list of questions she pre-screened from members of the “independent” audience. They got more and more egregious as the evening progressed.

QUESTION: Mr. President, Governor Romney, as a 20-year-old college student, all I hear from professors, neighbors and others is that when I graduate, I will have little chance to get employment. What can you say to reassure me, but more importantly my parents, that I will be able to sufficiently support myself after I graduate? Romney answered this one easily, but the question itself was framed from a leftist point of view. It is no president’s job to guarantee anyone employment after they graduate. All a president can do is create the conditions for economic growth, which provides jobs. Score this one as a neutral question.

The real answer is to allow all the questions submitted by the ‘Independent’ audience to be seen and then decide if the audience was independent or the moderator’s bias was the source of the problem.

The biggest thing I noticed which concerned the biggest problem on most Americans minds—the economy-—Romney had a vision and Obama had bad memories. In fact, Obama has no plan...except class warfare and attacking Romney for being wealthy. That’s it. That’s Obama’s big plan. Excuse me if I snicker.

The pig done screwed up big time.

She's already backtracking on that after being called on it by Anderson Cooper, of all people.

There is no way those people were undecided you can tell by their questions and demenor. Also this whole thing was a setup because Obama likes the town hall type debate and the reason why is thay he was able to ensure that only his people attended. There were several times that Rommney was asked a question then cut off in mid answer. I think in the last debate Rommney should go for the kill no matter what the moderator says and how much Obama blusters.

Good point and I will tell you what else they need to succeed. They need a sponsor like Vallarie Jarrett who can get them jobs making 100K a year. They need someone that can get them appointed to corporate boards, in companies that they know absolutely nothing about, where they get paid hundreds of thousand of dollars for doing absolutely nothing. They need the backing of the major Daley political empire and the most corrupt political regime in history. That is why Obama and his parasitic wife are where they are.

“Jeremy (first guy who asked a question) tipped his hand right out of the gate.”

But he got a nice photo keepsake of he and Ovomit hugging after the debate.

When I graduate, I will have little chance to get employment.

Any questions why one should vote for Obama?.

This Panel had a lot of liberal plants in it.You could tell by the questions that were asked of Mitt Romney.

A number of legit questions were directed toward both candidates.

So knowing this, I watched a movie, came here periodically and happily got tossed off the server a couple of hundred times

Yeah, last night I chose between the ObamaFest "debate" and Sons of Anarchy. It was a tough choice: one featured characters that engage in in gun-running, prostitution, cozy deals with foreign criminals, and using illegal means to set up their powerful empires; the other was about a motorcycle gang.

I grudgingly give kudos to nobama for finally bringing up the 47% at the very end of the debate when Romney would have no chance to respond.

There were supposed to have been 12 questions. Romney won the toss meaning he got the first question. Crowley knew right from the toss that she would only get in a odd number of questions (11) which would allow Obama the last word in the debate. Had she of asked 12 questions, Romney would have had the last word.
