Once again the left puts their thumb on the scales with activist left-wing moderators.

Why are liberals so afraid of a fair fight?

Because they know they cannot win a judiciously moderated debate.

Liberals are afraid of a fair fight because without the lies they tell they would be lost. Theirs is a failed philosophy of government and they can't tell the truth about it and cling to power. Think about this, by all accounts Sarah Palin out-debated Plugs Biden four years ago, and the "moderators" let Biden get by with a dozen or more blatant lies! Does anyone believe that when Obama or Biden comes out with "they will end Medicare as we know it", any of these moderators will call them to task? Not likely!!!

Art, they've NEVER been able to win a fair fight.

I'm afraid the gloves are really off this time 'round. It's going to get real ugly long about October.

A good example of thumbs on scales is Republican manipulation of voting hours in Ohio giving longer hours and Saturday voting for Republican counties and shorter hours without saturday to counties that are predominantly Democratic!

Don't you have the ability to write your own response, being directed elswhere is a turn off!

I am only interested in the real comments that people make on SH!

Your response is an intellectually lazy cop out!

If you can't think for yourself don't bother me!

Just providing you proof that you have your head up your butt.

You provided nothing except the one line above!

Don't be so lazy do some thinking yourself!

texasred to David 2012/08/15 23:45:34 (edited)

David, David, David... please note that I gave you links to 9 separate sites that provide information on Democrat voter fraud/intimidation. Only a fool would think that doing research and identifying 9 instances refuting your silly statement is being lazy and not thinking. And, as I said above, I was providing you proof that you have your head up your butt.

Edited for spelling.

History has passed you by!

Today Jon Husted Secretary of State for Ohio caved in under pressure and set uniform voting hours for the 88 counties!

And how does that make a difference when we talk about all the Dems being heavily involved in voter fraud? It appears that "history has passed you by" when you refuse to accept that.

They cannot win in a fair fight. Ergo... left wing activist moderators.

I can here the debate right now:

Mr. President, "how many people died on the Titanic? Answer: "I believe it was around 1,500".

Mr. Romney, "Name Them!"

Wow, what a hypocrite Newt is...He went after Bill Clinton's indiscretions with a vengeful righteousness, and yet it's off limits to even question his????
