" Gov. Romney needs to be trained on how to easily interrupt and bully his opponent "

No, that would be a bad move because the main stream media would be all over Romney for doing that.
Romney should stay the course but also question Obama on his failures.
Romney must find a way for him self to remain claim , clear headed, in change, commanding, but at the same time get under his opponent's skin and cause Mr. thin skinned to lose his cool.

" Americans need to start realizing the consequences of the anti business and anti free market policies that they support."

Americans are getting a text book living classroom educational living experience of just that at this moment.

It's not just gasoline prices as painful as they are, that count. Higher fuel prices are driving up all costs. The trucking industry will buy fewer tractors and trailers, and raise rates. Home heating oil production has to compete with diesel and gasoline production.

Groceries cost more to deliver, packages delivered by air cost more, every part of the economy feels the higher price of fuel seep into its pricing.

Wish someone would do a debt graph ( Obama added 6 trillion in government debt on us, more than the past 11 presidents combined, yet they blame Bush).

Also a jobs graph

also in addition to the gas and food prices graph .

all are much worse now than when Obama took office.

As long as the Republican Party has agreed to the choice of moderator there is nothing that can be done. The questions asked will be controlled by the media.

Gov. Romney should confront Obama about his heretical devotion to Cloward-Piven socialist theory and affiliation with known terrorist William Ayers. If I were running against Obama I wouldn’t be afraid to call him a Manchurian Candidate to his face, and also to call him out on all of the issues brought up in the film “2016”.

Alas, that will never happen. The Republicans continue to honor political correctness and to frame the election in terms of “the economy”, “jobs” etc etc. Since when is it the function of the federal government to create jobs? Much less the President? I thought we had a free enterprise system that did that!

Women want the federal government out of the decisions they make about their bodies, yet they seem to be okay with the feds completely propagandizing their children’s educations.

Where is the candidate who pledges to rout the feds, close down a hundred agencies, and return these functions to the respective states?

Where is the candidate who will do this?

Obama’s in luck - the boys at the New York Times won’t hold him accountable for any thing. Also CNN while sifting throgh the questions for citizens will PASS OVER the questions dealing with gas prices - and choose instead one dealing with abortion.

I know. Every time a Republican takes office in the White House, the media starts trumpeting a “homeless” epidemic.
