On a post a few days ago, someone stated that the MSM has already given the Regime the questions they will ask.
I maintain the Regime has already given the MSM the questions they will ask.

The one in Kentucky with Biden vs Ryan will be the most entertaining.
I hope Ryan nails the fool as soon as Biden says: “hey, great to be here in Indiana”…

First question:
“Mr. Romney, why do you hate women?”
Second question:
“Mr. Romney, why do you want to toss grandma out in the street, take away her health care, and make her eat dog food?”
…or maybe the other way around.

Why did Priebus agree to this? Either the RNC is really naive or really stupid. Wish someone would investigate the negotiations the WH engaged in to get this. It appears the preezy said he wouldn’t debate at all unless all the moderators were boot lickers.

The line up reminds me of a Bugs Bunny cartoon boxing match. Not a single moderate moderator. All of them hard left. Dagny’s quote from Ann Barnhardt sums it up. I like this part: the moderators are given extra time to fluff up the magic negro, frame the discussion to his advantage, and remind us all what a vile evil man Mitt Romney is.

@NC077:
You may have just started a game here. What will the questions be?
Question to Romney: Do you practice polygamy like all the other Mormons? And is it true you’re trying to add Ann Coulter to your harem?
Question for Obama: How have your policies benefited the 20 million or so women who are now better off since you took office?

If Romney uses the recent republican debates as a reference point and the surge of Newt Gingrich, he may discover the winning formula.
Attack the media first, put them on the defensive
Ramp it up 10 times and respond to every “question” with the word “liar”. For example “thanks for that loaded question Mr. Shitfer, you fucking liar. Despite your best efforts to prop up this dummy, he and his administration have been punked on a worldwide scale. And you and your cohorts have failed to report it as such. So why do you guys continue lying to the citizens and especially the brain dead zombie followers of this gay communist muslim?”

@Abigail, “Why did Priebus agree to this?”
I can’t imagine. Did the candidate not have a say?
It’s not just the fact that the Won will have weeks to hone his responses, I’m also worried about “live” cheating.
I’d bet money that he’ll be wearing an earpiece, so they can literally tell him what to say. That’s why he needs so much time to prep.
Algore did this on Beat the Press years ago, in a debate with Bush 43. I saw it myself.
It’s the only way, Zero will stand a chance against Romney.

The pick of moderators sucks. However, Barry’s not going to have a tele prompter in front of him, and with out one he really sucks. Get used to hearing UH, UH, UH, UH, a lot. Romney on the other hand is really good. Not to mention the debates are sure to stray into areas Barry hasn’t boned up on. The trick for Romney is making his point with out going after him to hard, at least for the first debate. Barry needs to defend his record and the blame Bush thing is getting old. By the time the last debate comes along, hopefully Barry is huddled up in the fetal position in the corner of the room.

THE RNC. A PROUD HISTORY OF TYING BOTH IT’S OWN HANDS BEHIND IT’S BACK.
Can you imagine Obama agreeing to moderators Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter?
Unfortunately, this is why these debates are “won” by Obama before they begin.

Whyinthehell do we agree to this every GD 4 years? Romney has got to have 10 or 15 stats MEMORIZED and insert them into ANY question these REgressive dirtbags ask.
I will bet my last donut Sarah wouldn’t have gone down this path.

Romney should be doing adds NOW….showing that he’ll be up against not only and incumbent president, but the “moderators” too…showing video clips of their bias. And it should be played everywhere…everyday. AND that he is still tough enough to do this dog n pony show.

@Bad Brad — He may not have a teleprompter but check his ears. I’ll bet he will have an earpiece. There will be a media provided truck with all kinds of equipment so they can send the correct answers to 0bama. Someone in the crowd should have a wireless jammer to thwart that. It would be so great to see him tap his ear when the answers don’t come through.

Stranded: I’d bet money he will have something in his ear. Hopefully John Kerry is the one giving him advise. And I agree with everyone that has written here how stupid Repubs are. BUT Obama’s got a big old record of total failure he can’t hide from. Romney has a target rich environment. One thing that does bother me is that Romney has spent most of this campaign reacting to Barry. The only way he wins is if he flips that around during the debates. Even though the deck is stacked, this should be a no brainer. After all, how many times can Barry say “Well ya know, I killed Bin Laden”.

Interpreting Four Winkers
A knowing wink can denote many things and connote far more.
Drudge.com recently featured an un-related collection of four notable winkers– President Barack Hussein Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack’s wife First Lady Michelle Obama, and Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin, all of whom share the common trait of being proven dissemblers.
Now, interpreting the meaning–if any–behind a wink or a nod is an iffy proposition but making educated guesses on what the winker was contemplating based on his or her past history, future aspirations, and known personality is very possible and not mere idle speculation.
It’s not known to or at whom the president was winking in his Drudge picture but, considering his ambitions and constant campaigning and fund raising, he is clearly reflecting approbation or agreement probably with someone on the Obama re-election team since winning four more years has been Obama’s fixation for the past 3 3/4 years.
Still, it’s a grimacing wink, possibly indicative of his awareness that he has screwed up royally and that his background primarily as a radical community organizer hardly qualified him for the presidency in the first place. It certainly couldn’t reflect Obama’s discomfort with his plans to sell out our country to the Russians when he has more “flexibility” because that realization would make him grin, not grimace. (See below)
Hillary Clinton is famous for a number of questionable accomplishments but friendly winks aren’t among them. In fact, her Drudge-photo is more suggestive of a grandmother in urgent need of Gas-X than it suggests any degree of friendliness.
Hillary’s gastrointestinal issues may be attributable to a grudging acceptance that daughter Chelsea will never bless her with a grandchild or, more likely, to a gnawing regret that she now works for a man both she and her hubby consider incompetent and that, in 2016, she will be almost as old as John McCain was in 2008.
Maybe poor Hillary would have been better off had she “stayed home and baked cookies and had teas,” as she said 20 years ago. It’s conceivable that she might have been able to protect Bill from the sexual ravages of that orally-obsessed tart Monica Lewinsky. . .
