My theory is Joe will never be in a debate because he will be replaced “to spend more time with his family”
Hillary is on a whirlwind round-the-world photo op tour ... pictures with Nelson Mandela etc... farewell to politics ... or campaign fodder?
I’d rather see him demand - up front - that each candidate get to pick 2 moderators.
They’re just trying to keep the 47% happy!
Have you seen those pictures? I don’t think it will be her now that young Mr. Ryan is the GOP VP pick.
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?"
The following subjects have been chosen:
Bain Capital
Tax Returns
Rich People
Wienermobiles as a source of CO2
George Bush
Dogs on cars
If this really is t he pick of moderators, we need to boycott the debates. If this is a joke thread we nee to ask ourselves why it’s so believable...
It appears liberals have failed in the celebration of DIEversity.
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.
The "Leadership" of this 'non-partisan' group is as follows;
Co-Chairmen
Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr.
Michael D. McCurry
Honorary Co-Chairmen
Gerald R. Ford
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan
William J. Clinton
Co-Chairman Emeritus
Paul G. Kirk, Jr.
Board of Directors
Howard Buffett
John C. Danforth
John Griffen
Antonia Hernandez
Reverend John I. Jenkins
Newton N. Minow
Richard D. Parsons
Dorothy Ridings
Alan K. Simpson
Executive Director
Janet H. Brown
= deceased
We need debates where candidates can talk for long periods of time about a given subject and be only interrupted if they stray off the topic. Also, the candidate themselves should only ask the questions, not an arrogant news reader/partisan pundit (Even though moderators might not think they are).
What? Not Lawrence ODonnell or that Maddow guy?
I'm with you - either we do it fair or we don't show up. None of us buy the MSM crap about them being 'objective'. The liberal press hates us - they work for the DNC and are paid in 'inside stories'...
Lehrer and Schieffer?
Maybe Mitt wanted to present an image of youth and vigor compared to them?
Romney should refuse to show up, same as a Republican showing up for a debate put on by the League of Women
Vipers!
Lost before they enter the room!!!
The “Commission on Presidential Debates” was set up to always give the democrats an advantage. And if a republican nonminee refused to go along with them, the democrat would accuse the repubican of refusing to debate and the republican would cave.
So the commission gets to pick whoever they want because they are never challenged. Only Gingrich would have challenged them.
On the plus side, Romney has been to like thirty debates this year, Obama, zero (but I repeat myself). Romney should have Gingrich play the democrat or the moderator or both, teach Romney how to cream them.
Yeah Hillary these days is looking like she’s been rode hard and put away wet
But she is the democrat party’s great white hope to seal the women’s vote, capture the foolish young who will be wowed by electing first female VP (with a black potus to boot), “moderates”, and the democrat base
who will in their minds be voting again for “Bill” Clinton and the Clinton boom economy (sans Newt Gingrich, oh never mind)
Bill Clinton is their greatest president since FDR and getting Hillary even close to the WH is his 3rd term
watch for it
