Romney vs. Obama and Crowley (Crowley and Obama previously coordinated the Obama answers)
washington post ^ | 10/17/2012 | By Jordan Sekulow, Anna Sekulow and Matthew Clark

The economy, abortion, and national security took center stage, but the moderator stole the show at Tuesday night’s presidential debate at Hofstra University. While liberals were racing to announce, “Obama is back,” the debate resulted in a firefight that clearly highlighted the contrasts between former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and President Obama. From their leadership styles, approach to governing, and national security strategies, to their domestic, foreign, and economic policies, the contrast could not be clearer.

Regardless of the questions, President Obama found a way to steer them to the issues he wanted to discuss even if the answer was blatantly off topic. He turned a question about equal pay for women into an opportunity to promote more government funding for the abortion industry.

Five times he touted Planned Parenthood. He equated more taxpayer funding for the abortion industry as “a pocketbook issue for women.” In addition to defending Planned Parenthood funding in his response to a question about pay equity, President Obama promoted more taxpayer funding for the abortion industry in response to questions about what he had done to earn someone’s vote and how Romney was different than George W. Bush.

Candy Crowley, CNN’s chief political correspondent and the first woman chosen to host a presidential debate in two decades, was given the unique opportunity to set the bar for aspiring female journalists. Instead, Crowley awkwardly went outside the boundaries, rudely interrupting the candidates when she saw fit, and conveniently making up the rules as she went along. In fact, it is estimated that she interrupted Romney 28 times while only interrupting Obama nine times.

I wonder if Candy Crowley got 30 pieces of silver for her journalistic soul, or was that even necessary (rhetorical question)?

As I watched this debate, I began to suspect that Crowley might have shared the questions with Obama. There were just too many signs not to suspect that. The whole thing wreaked, to me, of having been “fixed.” I am hoping the next debate will be more Lincoln-Douglas in form. The American people deserve no less. Our problems are too serious to allow corrupt games to be played. This election will determine whether or not we scrap our American system for another kind, the end of which we cannot know.

The game show industry was corrupt and cheated for contestants and people were fined, lost their jobs and went to jail. THIS is far worse than that!

It was all staged including Obama telling Crowley “louder please”.

I don’t like being lied to. What POTUS and Crowley said is a lie.

I wish Romney had said something like this:

You said ‘No acts of terror...’ you did not say: ‘This act of terror(ism)...’
With the 3 AM phone call you went back to sleep. Did you call the State Department, Secretary of State or go watch the live feed...? Did you open lines of communication with those responsible to you? No you did not, not according to the press reports - you waited for them to come to you and when they did not you want to pin the blame on them. Then you went on to a fundraiser.

You sent Ambassador Rice out to say the film was responsible. Had you not spoken to the State Department for 5 days? IF Rice and SoS Clinton went out, over the next week, without your permission or order we have a much bigger problem than blaming a film for the death of 4 Americans. The BUCK stops with you. Will you take responsibility?

The whole thing wreaked, to me

reeked = smelled

wreaked = twisted

probably both

Typical liberal bitch in other words. Reminds me a lot of Pelosi.

This HAD to be staged and rehearsed.
Remember what baraq is like without a teleprompter?
He spewed out answers as they were planned to be.

Think about this though, Romney came into this thing cold and still held his own despite the media and obama planning.

With that one debate, I’m sure the recent favorably for the news media just went down by half from the 8% it was before. This is a perfect example put into play of “if you give them enough rope, they will hang themselves.”

We are experiencing that on a grand scale to the entire progressive agenda with the new alternate media combined with the Tea Parties being the rope. Classic example is how the “Nuns on the Bus” group was met in Marietta Ohio.

Just 19 more days and the helm will issue the command to come about 180 degrees. The sorry thing is it will take until January 21st for the liberal locks to be cut off the ship’s wheel. Administratively, it will take even longer for the ship to respond but in the private sector engine room, the stokers will be shoveling for three bells and damn the torpedoes.

Wow! And this is coming from WaPo? From what I'm hearing in my deep blue state, only the most die hard obamaphoners failed to see through the double-team deception that was played on Tuesday night.

The fallout is this: Cindy's reputation is now in tatters, and once again lil' barry is seen as hiding behind a skirt.

He hides behind Hillary's skirt. He hides behind Michelle's skirt. And he hid behind Cindy's skirt for anybody with access to yoot tube to see.

Mitt's folks need to harp on the effeminate obama angle.

And.....she’s so large that his whole cabinet could do so too.

This.

He gets the s**t sandbagged out of him by The Machine in a hostile environment, with a hostile crowd (oh, excuse me, what I meant was "undecideds") and a calculating Obama faciltator for a moderator... and he STILL comes out of it all right. Not bad at all.

"Get the transcript!", barked Obama to Crowley, demanding that CNN crawl to his needs, as his lackey. And she did.

He knew that she had it and could hardly contain his command. They had pre-arranged this little drama, drooling in anticipation of the sweet trap they had designed for Romney.

I agree that Romney came out ok but the American people deserve to know the truth, even through debate, without a Liberal Moderator hiding the truth.

Candy’s reputation is quite intact, and is actually enhanced in her leftist media coterie. Her next career move should be to remove her veneer of objectivity and hop on one of MSNBC’s yelping panels. Or, if Obama wins, she can take a position in his cabinet.

My only criticism of Mitt and his team is he should have been inculcated with the concept that all moderators are playing for the other team, and should be treated as enemy combatants. Romney is such a good and trusting guy that he actually believed her specious interjection about “acts of terror”, instead of vigorously challenging such a ridiculous assertion. That was his naiveté.
