Upon Further Review: Mitt Romney May Have Cheated To Win The Debate
CBS DC ^ | Oct. 5, 2012 | Bill Buck

Posted on 10/05/2012 11:26:49 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Over the past day the game tape of the debate has been reviewed. While Mitt Romney still enjoys the afterglow of the debate, the lies and half truths he told are being dissected.

From tax policy to hiring teachers. From cracking down on Wall Street (and Sesame Street) to coverage for the uninsured. From Medicare to shipping jobs overseas the fact checkers have been very busy correcting the record and pointing out falsehoods.

Even Team Romney had to correct the candidate on health care immediately after the debate.

As I predicted earlier this week, Romney had an October Surprise planned for the President – new policy ideas. But I had no idea that Romney would just lie about everything he had said over the past year and a half.

As the President said, Mitt Romney’s bright new idea is: Never Mind!

But there was a moment in the debate that will be discussed in the days ahead that everyone missed until yesterday.

A review of the debate tape reveals that, apparently, Mitt Romney needed a cheat sheet to keep the lies straight.

The rules of the presidential debates are clear about not bringing outside notes and presidents and aspirants have followed the rule for decades.

Video of the first eleven seconds of the debate available on YouTube shows Mitt Romney reaching into his pocket at the moment he is out of view of those in front of him, he used the lectern as a shield, and removing what appears to be folded papers from his pocket.

We see this because the camera that was broadcasting was behind Romney. Those in the audience and the moderator may have been shielded from his sleight of hand, but not the viewers.

Romney then proceeds to unfold the item in front of him.

Exactly...For CBS to print that is pathetic, disclaimer or no disclaimer on Buck. It just shows that CBS like other enemedia are in the tank for Obama.

Romney came with his opinions beforehand. Valerie Jarrett had no way on informing Obama of what is opinion was.

FOUL!!!

Thanks for remembering that. You are 100% correct. The cheaters on the left always accuse their opponents of cheating in order to draw all scrutiny away from themselves.

Well, Obama had Jim Lehrer ‘leading the witness’ every time Romney spoke and Obama didn’t clue in about an appropriate response.

Ha - Joe Buck wasn’t a very successful prostitute in the movie IIRC.

BTW Midnight Cowboy was X-rated. I can remember the first time I saw it on VHS and a few things happened that I didn’t really expect to see LOL.

So they are saying: “You didn’t build that”. Simply, they do not believe in excellence via hard work and study. Anybody who does well must be cheating or relying on all the others.It fits with the overall philosophy. This is why they love Obama so much.He is in no way a pursuer of excellence or an achiever.He has what he has because of everybody else and just votes “Present” or clears away opponents by blackmail. He is definitely their kind of guy.

It’s on video. It was a handkerchief, which Romney uses to wipe his nose during the debate!

Some cheat-sheet. The libs are going insane.

This is good. It reinforces the bubble of stupid that surrounds the ‘rats. They will make unforced errors because they believe this nonsense. In particular, the malignant narcissist, Little Stevie Dunham, will believe such things were the cause of his “impossible” loss to Romney in the debate and will go on believing that he knows all that needs to be known and is prepped as much as he needs to. “This is a drag. Let’s go out for shave ice.”

If you graduate ,with Honors, from Harvard with a JD and an MBA, you don't need to cheat. As a friend of mine said. MA Harvard, the undergrad courses suck, the grad courses are challenging.

“...In some states “imbeciles” are not allowed to vote. Perhaps that is a good law after all....”

If it were a national law, there would be no liberal communist RAT party to start with.

I noticed this when I was watching the debate live. I assumed it was a hankerchief, particularly after seeing Romney’s slightly red nose. I think there was a shot of him, somewhere near the end of the debate, wiping his nose.

The libs will stop at nothing to prop up Obama.

They HAVE to prop him up, because they’ve invested their own self-worth in supporting “brilliant” democrat politicians (like Sheila J Lee, Cynthia McKinney, and Marxine Waters).
