The lamestreamers only left out Joseph Goebbels.

If these are actually the moderators chosen for the presidential debates then, as usual, the GOP team allowed themselves to be set-up for ‘gotcha! questions and softballs to Obama. Very disappointing. The premise that only left-wing ‘news’ people are legitimate moderators is the problem and the Romney-Ryan campaign shouldn’t just roll over for it.

Why does the GOP participate in these charades designed to make our candidates look bad?

Don’t our guys have better things to do those nights?

[exit82]

Why do we play the same game every time?

Seriously, PBS is going to moderate a debate?Who even watches them?

Where is the Fox moderated debate?

They are the biggest cable news network, not puny CNN.

They should just skip the debates, and host Town Hall meetings and get the message out unfiltered.

Screw the MSM.

[liberalh8ter]

Why not lock the door on Mitt and just let Obama and his propaganda machine use the time slot to spread more BS rhetoric?

[immadashell]

Baghdad Bob would be less partial.

[AU72]

If Romney Ok'd this he deserve the savaging he will get in the debates.

Question to Obama, "When did you know you would be so wonderfull?"

Question to Romney, "How can you call yourself an American when your Church practiced polygamy, massacred non-belivers and would have denied Barack Obama full membership up to 25 years ago?"

[DManA]

Republicans are so stupid you have to wonder if they really want to win this election.

[MinuteGal]

Dang, I wanted Fox's Greg Gutfeld to be a mod.

Oh, swell. I can't wait for more time-wasters like ‘coke or pepsi’ and the slanted gems about abortion, gay marriage and immigration reform. These lib moderators have two main goals; impress their newsroom/cocktail crowd friends and embarrass the GOP.

[Obadiah]

This is totally disgusting. Each campaign has input into the debate format and structure. That the GOP constantly agrees to have moderators who are paid by the DNC is just outrageous and a complete slap in the face to supporters and contributors!

[Lazamataz]

What, Ed Shultz, Keef Olberman, and Chris Matthews were busy? They'd have invited Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, except those guys have health issues.

Here will be the typical debate question.

"Mister Romney, it is well-documented that you are a multiple felon, based on your work at Bain Capital. It has been shown that you are a tax-scofflaw that has never once filed your taxes. Bill Burton has demonstrated that you, personally, gave Mrs. Soptic cancer -- cancer that killed her! There are reports that you routinely kill dogs with exposure on the top of your car. Now you have picked a running mate that wants to kill old ladies with a bullet to the forehead using an assault rifle. My question, sir: What makes you so hideously, grotesquely evil?"

[Proud2BeRight]

The following subjects have been chosen:

Bain Capital
Tax Returns
Rich People
Wienermobiles as a source of CO2
George Bush
Dogs on cars

[ConservativeStatement]

It appears liberals have failed in the celebration of DIEversity.

[madison10]

The Romney/Ryan campaign should look over the list, mention that NONE of the moderators is acceptable and walk away. Don’t understand how we can continually be so freakin’ gullible.

What? Not Lawrence ODonnell or that Maddow guy?

[9YearLurker]

Lehrer and Schieffer?

Maybe Mitt wanted to present an image of youth and vigor compared to them?
