Another debater the American Press absolutely would have fell in love with

[geefloyd46]

This could also be entitled why lies matter?

After listening to someone say what they admired about Romney's debate performance because we finally have a leader with balls. I thought who else had balls. I thought of someone who was hyper aggressive on his opponents, who wouldn't listen to anyone who told him no and who almost lied every time he spoke. I'm beginning to think I've found the American media's version of presidential. The American media would know that he wasn't telling the truth with every word he spoke, they'd timidly report it, while salivating over his leadership qualities. That should be about a month or two before he'd put a number of them in camps.

To see who our mysterious candidate is and with quotes from the cnadidate:

1. Unfortunately at this point in time, the arts of debate, rhetoric, and oration

are sorely lacking. In the Nineteenth Century, you had Abraham Lincoln, Stephen Douglas, Robert G. Ingersoll, et al who could not only prepare but think on their feet. Today, candidates rarely write their own words; they have staff for that. Instead of an argument based on an exchange of logical statements, you have zingers, sound bytes, and abbreviated campaign speeches.

2. When lies are considered an asset because they are well delivered.

Without first and foremost saying this is a lie or what the person said here is a lie so it should be nullified the news outlets are playing right into the hand of the liars and assisting them.

3. Debates

The information in the link you provided seems to have been the model for assembling the Republican playbook.

The similarities are truly frightening.

I think Naomi Wolf was definitely on to something when she wrote, 'Ten Steps to Fascism'.

4. Devastating and very true

It is truly sickening to see this value system prevail.
