If it had been Gore instead of Romney saying those things......

the story today would be all about how Gore can't tell the truth, how frantic he acted, and how rude he was for interrupting and refusing to follow the moderator's instructions.

SIGH!

I have always felt Gore sighed so much because he couldn't believe they would allow someone as stupid as Bush run for President.

Well, it was supposed to be a presidential debate but the real point is that little georgie had to be defended from the cruel bully who almost brought him to tears!

The very people who are claiming Willard "won" that debate are very people who gave all the 2000 debates to an imbecile, because Gore rolled his eye and sighed every time the imbecile said something stupid. It doesn't surprise me that they're swooning over Willard's "assertiveness", while ignoring the fact that he ignored the rules and disrespected the moderator in the process.

He spoke the truth, and it went over people's heads. Bush could say "fuzzy math" 1,000 times and people would go crazy.

Al Gore was labeled a serial liar for one statement, about inventing the internet, that he did not even say. The line came from a republican news release.

Kerry got the flip flop label because of his I voted for and voted against comments. The comments were legitimate as he was talking about a bill that was changed.

Yet Romney lies and flip flops repeatedly. When does he get the labels????????
