Romney and his advisors did not agree to this.
It’s commission that does it, and it has Republicans on it, in equal representation. Unfortunately, they’re of the ‘country club’ faction of the party, and see nothing wrong with the MSM.
But I agree, it is downright maddening that it gets repeated every freaking four years.
The State-Run-Media is CONTROLLED by the Dem's/White Hut, and that doesn't provide alternatives, unless you want the debates on "un-biased" PBS?
Where do you get the idea that we are all, like, surprised and dismayed?
Romney either checkmated the moderator bias or used it to educate the unaware.
There is nothing a moderator can do to save The Disaster. This is a slam dunk.
And next debate is going to be even worse for him.
Yes, Romney and his advisors knew beforehand what to expect from the moderators of these debates. Thus far I’d say they have played the libs brilliantly. You, are misguided, and incorrect. What Romney has pulled off here is killing the libs.
I totally fail to understand why GOP could not insist on the right to appoint two of the moderators.
There will never be genuine debates until they are of equal number of right and left moderators.
If they get to have Candy Crowley, we should be able to have Laura Ingraham.
Of course fantasizing about what will never happen, kind of like Romney being a conservative and not causing more damage to the country than Obama by soiling the message we want to get across.
“But you had a Republican, and this and this happened!” Will we ever learn? Nope.
Can't say that the Romney campaign can be blamed for a process that was underway over a year ago.
Leaning Right? Looks like you prefer falling FORWARD with four more years of Obama. Blame Romney? The DEBATE COMMISSION sets this up. Romney’s options... rely on the fine job the MSM is doing in presenting him fairly to the electorate, turning down participation in the debates. I’m sure you’ll agree the press would fully back and understand that decision! What a nit-wit.
Why do we even have moderators.. All we need is a time clock, and a switch that shuts off the camera and mic..
Actually, it showed President Romney’s mettle. You really think he’ll have an adoring, loving media to give him backrubs and sweettalk him? No, this showed me that President Romney can stand up to Regressive politicians and media.
If the moderator had been a conservative, the MSM would have discounted the debate from the start. Light shines brightest in the darkness, and Romney looked far better to the people in general because he showed he could hold his own in the face of a pincer movement between his opponent on the chair and his opponent behind the moderator desk.
Can’t think of the exact title but it is something like the Commission
on Political Debates that is the ruling entity. I think the term
“non-partisan” fits in there somewhere. The problem with “non-
partisan” is that sooner or later the libtards take over and do their
dirty business. I think it is way past time for the GOP to
square things up.
What if the Republicans said.. No! Not this time?
The elderly 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radicals (psycho spoiled brats) and their bratty ideological issue would disrupt the debate. They would never allow a "debate" to take place without their guy being the moderator.
Tom Wolfe's book Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers described them.. and the establishment MSM back then gushed that these Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were the most intelligent generation ever!.
The demonstrators are mau-mauing flak chuckers protecting their ideological heroes and their heroes are of course the Rat Party and MSM employees.
The only thing worse is people here still whining about Romney while he is 7 pts up and ready to earn a landslide win.
There were no moderators for the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and it certainly didn’t hurt the quality of the debate.
Well sure! By THAT logic, why even run as the republican nominee?
