Debate moderator Candy Crowley defended her decision to interject in a heated moment about Libya during last night's presidential debate, saying she was not trying to "fact check," but just trying to move the debate along.

"It didn't come to me as I'm going to fact check that. It came to me as let's get passed this? To me I was really trying to move the conversation along? This is a semantic thing," Crowley told the hosts of "The View."

Amen! I love to read writings of the Founders. They knew the meaning of words and how to use them.

Someone had to rescue Obama, he couldn’t do it himself, of course...

Well this settles it! I’m voting for Candy of the CNN Party!
