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.

Oh give me a break !!! One anchor saw it and mentioned it was a cloth possibly a handkerchief for fear of a possible ‘’Nixon’’ moment. What next? He was looking at places to go after the debate?

"As predicted, they will stop at nothing to drag their candidate over the finish line."

And drag the rest of us to subjugation or death. The stakes have never been higher.

No fair, Romney knew the answers about his policies advance. Obama had to make them up on the fly....

Is a cheat sheet anything like requesting a teleprompter?

I am not very smart, but during the debate I detected lie, after lie coming from Obama’s mouth. Where are fact checkers on that.

Bill’s brother, Joe Buck, a nationally known male prostitute, was played by John Voight in the film “Midnight Cowboy.”

Bill, a “journalistic” prostitute, writes for several junk and cash strapped liberal rags.

I only can get CBS & ABC.

I can get Hopalong Cassidy reruns on side stations.
Un
til this country gets to Jan 20 & inaugurates Mitt Romney, I think I am boycotting any ‘news’ on the main stations.

I already watch Hopalong at 6 PM instead of Diane Sawyer. More believable.

So does a Republican strategist get equal time to tell lies on the CBS DC website? This appears as news but in reality is nothing but DNC talking points. They don’t even care that we know they are in the tank.

I've got a lot of LDS friends.

I'm pretty sure that was a pair of those magic underwear.

"This is why Obama will win and we will all lose."

I have a little news for you....we ain't losin'. We are about to be in kick ass mode. This is pure desperation from an emporer whose clothes fell all the way off the other night.
