as the MSM wants to make it a close race so as to trump up viewership and ratings. Tweety says that Obama will be out of practice for the debates against Rmoney. Says Rmoney has had a lot of practice on debating during the primaries.
It just pisses me off how the press want to shape this general election - just to trump up viewership and ratings.

(53,410 posts)Unless Tweety calls wanting to place a $10,000 bet with Perry a debate. These so-called debates have been nothing more than a competition on how further right wing religious wacko they can go. Romney's tactic is to attack Obama on Romney's biggest faults and Rachel Maddow has pointed that out brilliantly. The Rovian tactic.

(21,925 posts)When someone can say whatever comes into their head at any time, whether or not it contradicts their previous statements, and neither the other debaters on the platform nor the moderator call them on it, I think that liar is in for a rude awakening in a real debate.
