Romney “Cheat Sheet” Was A Handkerchief, Campaign Says

Mitt Romney's campaign is shooting down a simmering online theory the Republican nominee used a "cheat sheet" in Wednesday night's debate against President Barack Obama.

The theory — extensively documented by the liberal blog Daily Kos and picked up on the Daily Beast and elsewhere — focuses on a brief moment as Romney took the stage, pulled something out of his pocket, and put it on the podium.

But according to a Romney aide the object was simply a handkerchief, not an illicit list of zingers.

"It's a handkerchief," the aide said simply in response to the post.

Romney can be seen at another moment in the debate using the handkerchief.

Since the left likely started this and they tend to blame the right for what they do.. I wonder what zero was using.

The answers were obviously written in snot!

CHEATER!

He was using his brain, and that is exactly the problem. Everyone saw that Obama is a moron, you can’t fix stupid

[FlingWingFlyer]

To all of the wizards over at the DUmpster. It was a “sneeze sheet” morons.

[Let's Roll]

You can see the way the item drapes over his hand like fabric would.

CHEATER!

Was snot.

What are the rules anyway?

Are “Cheat Sheets” Disallowed in debates?

Obama was looking down a lot of times as if he were reading something...

Here's a quote from Freeper = Dave278, on another thread about this topic:

"Romney wiped his nose with the handkerchief,
and his a$$ with the pretender-in-chief.""

I have already “fessed up” to giving him all the answers. I took the debate test a few days before and tweeted it to him. I “feel” so terrible.

[Doc Savage]

Only one guy NEEDED a cheat sheet. That’s the homo commie 50% white, anti-capitalist, anti-American, anti-life, anti-Christian, muzzie serial liar.

You may think it funny
that my nose is wet and runny
but itsnot.

I wonder what zero was using.

Prolly couldn't figger out how to make his Obamaphone work...just stared at it...no streaming TOTUS...

[trisham]

Wow! Thanks for the ping!

[DJ MacWoW]

Reality slapped the libs in the chops. Hard!

[Ann Archy]

Are you not allowed to have any paper with info on it??

[C210N]

The handkerchief cheat-gate has accomplished its goal.

Forever more, tens of thousands of moonbat moron drones will remember the first reports, and ONLY the first reports, and spout this to new unsuspecting, gullible, but prone to drone new converts.

We will now ALWAYS find “people” convinced that it was a cheat sheet because the heard it once, and can never rectify the initial report from the facts.

I wonder what zero was using.

I'd guess Obozo drew heavily on his stash of "$hit for brains"

[bobo1]

my only reply would have been you are delusional idiots.

no sense giving any fodder for any other explanation. let them drool in their cesspool of idiotsy.

blessings, bobo

Romney did cheat! He was talking about what is right with America and how to save Her from the current crises.

What's right with America? Save America without transforming the b****? Hey! that's like a foreign language to the Obamas. That is not fair!
