PBS anchor Jim Lehrer is a progressive who, as the dean of Presidential Debate moderators, shows open disdain for Republicans and speaks glowingly of Democrats.
Amidst all the pre-spin build up to the first presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, Lehrer is being overlooked as a key player in tonight's made-for-TV reality show. Make no mistake, the PBS journalist will be just as important to the proceedings as the height of the podiums and the color of the neckties.
Despite the laughable expectations game put forth by the mainstream media that has somehow positioned Mitt Romney as the finest debater since Socrates and Barack Obama as a fledgling dolt barely capable of putting two sentences together, the fact is Obama has an enormous built-in advantage tonight. And that advantage will be sitting at a desk looking up at him the entire ninety minutes.

Mr Romney, “Have you always been a racist?”

These people, according to Pat Caddell, are “enemies of the American People”.
Why do the Republicans put up with these lefty moderators? Some kind of perverse masochistic bent?

I hope Mitt learned a trick or two from Newt about calling these Bozos out when they ask stupid questions.

Why indeed. Is there no way a moderate moderator can be found. Truly I don't care if his name is Joe Doe and no one has ever heard of him. All I want are logical, intelligent questions about the current state of the nation and what can be done to improve things without the nudge, nudge, wink, wink of liberal media “personalities”.

Complain to the GOPe. They’re the ones who accepted the terms of the “debate”. They are so progressive themselves they don’t see any problem with Lehrer.
Romney is perfectly comfortable answering the question - why are you more qualified to grow the nanny state than your opponent?

Why not give Joe Doe a fair chance? I'll bet there are plenty who would jump at the chance! Tired of the same old liberal "personalities".

I’ll bet that ‘larrah’s’ will start the debates off with instructions to the audience...’in the interest of time, we are cautioning the audience not to respond to what either candidate has to say’.
...and I hope the audience refuses to remain silent when Romney hit’s it out of the park.

bray: Mr Romney, Have you always been a racist?
The_Media_never_lie: These people, according to Pat Caddell, are enemies of the American People.
Let me see if I can tie both your posts together (thanks for the idea guys!):
Leftie ‘news’ guy: Mr Romney, Have you always been a racist?
Romney: Have you always been an enemy of the American people?”
