Actually, such biased moderators could work to Romney’s advantage. He should talk to Gingrich about how to respond.

Republicans are idiots to agree with this. It’s the stupid party. That’s why I left.

Stupid, spineless, unprincipled whiners.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the Stupid Party continues to lay their heads on the chopping block every 4 years to have them cut off by these lefty-lunies.EVERY FOUR YEARS

It's either these lefty commies or the League of Commie Voters with their highly slanted lefties. Instead of telling these bozos NO, they keep coming back to be hammered into mush by these a$$holes.

Why do the Repubs even show up?

Fatass Candy Crowley is one of the most partisan “reporters” around, yet she is so stupid that she makes obviously partisan comments and thinks they are objective — she doesn’t realize how partisan she sounds.

Leave it to Romney to haul out the Country Club Rulebook and show up with the Clubhouse Lawyer ...to what Obama has planned as a gun, knife and broken bottle party.

Tom DeLay ...and Lee Atwater are the only Republicans I can recall who understood that politics, as practiced by the Democrat Party, was a bar-room brawl-—and they had the savvy to read the room right before-hand and knew who was going to do what and when.

Buy a clue Mitt....’bammy doesn’t read the Clubhouse Rules

I don't think the moderators will allow Ryan to ambush Biden. They will interrupt and stop him at every surge in momentum. They did this to Gingrich repeatedly. If Gingrich hadn't gone rouge on the moderator, he'd not been able to close his arguments successfully. My advice to Ryan is to THROW POLITENESS OUT THE WINDOW AND TO NOT ALLOW THE MODERATORS TO STIFLE HIS MOMENTUM. CALL THE MODERATOR OUT OF THEIR TACTICS AND BIAS.

Team Romney-Ryan must be prepared for Ambushes. 0bama-Biden (or Hillary) won't have to because the media will coordinate all debates WITH them. Romney-Ryan won't be given that luxury and will be at a deficit from the start.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, Romney needs to find the source of leaks within his inner circle. Someone in his camp is reporting to the media and probably 0bama. He needs to weed them out!

Who is on the election commission and how did they get there? Next disqualify this whole group as hacks and have representatives from both sides to negotiate a different set up.

I have been recommending that if the networks want to keep these hacks then we should go to co moderators with our side having Rush, Levin, Sowell, and Newt.

They are not dumb enough to agree to a kangaroo court, why should we/

Bite-me will not be on the ticket . . . he'll drop off due to, oh, say health problems or whatever. Hitlery, who's been having lots of Spackle and putty jobs on her face these past few years will ride to the rescue of the ticket.

You watch . . . the woman who was involved in a White House murder, murder cover-up, perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, treason, and grand theft of government property will rescue the ticket.

What wonderful people the dummycrats have waiting in the wings. But, kiss Bite-me goodbye.

They’re probably already scripting the “Tie” score and desperately looking to find anything intelligent that JoeBee ever said (that wasn’t someone else’s).

I don’t think this is such a bad deal. First, Bob Schieffer of CBS hasn’t pitched difficult questions since the 1980s. He’s out of touch, if you’ve watched him over the past two years. He’ll have trouble tossing any complicated questions toward Romney, and he’ll let President Obama ramble along with marginal answers.

Candy? Well...the last time I checked...CNN was marginally moving along and probably screwing up just about every opportunity they had. In this case...let her do her damage...it’ll dissolve another twenty percent of the viewers away from the network and help the Chinese buy the CNN team by summer of 2013.

As for the VP moderator? Well....I’m guessing Joe Biden will have issues with just about every question tossed his way. I don’t expect this debate to do much.

“Bite-me will not be on the ticket . . “

I’d be really surprised, there aren’t many proven “knowns” dumber than Odumbo. It’s awful close to Nov. for that kind of upset. Biden’s bumbles always take the cam away from Hussein’s daily gaffes.

Hussein doesn’t want anyone smarter near him.

For the love of God! Who the heck is in charge of deciding the details of these debates? Can someone please tell me how this all gets decided so we know where to bring the rope?

Gingrich did very well handling the liberal scum that tried to sandbag him during the debates. Romney could learn a thing or two. But why do Republicans always agree to debates moderated by liberal filth?

One must concede this is a slight improvement; No MSLSD debate with Keef and Chrissy, as in the last cycle.

I can’t face the prospect of watching this same old “debate format” for the 50 millionth time. I know EXACTLY what questions they will ask, I know EXACTLY their tone of voice, I know EXACTLY how the candidates will react and how they will answer.

It’s not even that the moderators are the same old boring liberals. It’s that It’s been done and done and done to death.

It is all so predictable.
