Presidential debates!! 2012
- Thread starter The Other Side
- Start date
I agree. So once again, what stupid Republican agreed to FOUR moderators who will all favor Obama? Seems to me he could have held out for one debate with a moderator from a non-biased source like FoxNews.
Lol, I seem to remember TOS saying Obama won the first debate, so it goes both ways.
Do you agree that the Moderators helped Obama by giving him extra time? And do you agree that Crowley stepped right in to help Obama with the terror question?

Can I ask why you mention him as "Messiah" on most of your posts? Is he a Christian Messiah, Muslim one or just MSM Messiah in general?!
I'm not sure how you score time accurately with both talking over each other so much of the time. That being said, Romney got caught up in his own talking point that was factually incorrect. And Crowley didn't leave it there. She did point out the administration's two week long labored explanation. So how does that "help" Obama?
I really liked how Obama asked her to repeat it a little louder, and she was so happy to oblige. You don't think that was helping Obama???

Why don't you let me moderate as I'm for neither one for sure? Wait, I'm not non-biased as I'd ask the questions neither of them want asked so that wouldn't work either. And this again proves there are no non-biased source to begin with.
On the point about "what republican?" In your original quote you asked "who in the republican party" but the real question is, "Who in the Romney campaign ...." and that's the one you should be asking since you think there's a problem.

Jerry Springer! Maury Povich!!! Steve!!!!!!!Maybe next time go with neutral moderators from other countries, people such as Ali Velshi & Piers Morgan and throw in Alex Trebek, too !
I'm all in for you moderating the next one.
They are in the aspect that everyone already knows who they're voting for. If you're undecided, you're on another planet.

I would have liked to be a fly on the wall during the negotiations of the rules and moderators.
I do think that being the moderator is an extremely tough job because of who you are dealing with. How pointed can you really get with the President of the United States? It is easier to go after the challenger.
BUT - Candy flat out showed extreme bias when she cut off Romney from making his point on Benghazi. I think that her credibility was hurt last night. If she hadn't interjected that comment, I don't think you would see much criticism of how she handled the debate.
I actually thought there were a lot of good pointed questions. I felt bad for some of the folks, you could see how nervous some of them were. Candy and her team picked the questions. I did not see any real bias other than the comment.
As for each candidate going over the time limit.... maybe they should have someone who monitors the clock and at 10 minutes before, who ever is down in minutes gets that extra time for a closing remark. That might keep them on point. The mikes could also be programmed to go off after a certain time to keep them on point. They could also have two moderators who tag team segments to be watchdogs for each other.
Not nearly as much as Romney teeing it up for him. It's something that is easily fact checked and has been left out of the republican narrative since day one. Almost like Obama was baiting him into a time and place where he could confront the fiction for all to see. Now why did Romney take the bait? I think he couldn't help himself and tripped over his own perceived momentum.
You weren't singing that tune two weeks ago.
