Why didn’t this come out sooner, so I could include it in the look at the looks post?? Democratic strategist, Bill Buck, accuses Mitt Romney of cheating by using a handkerchief as a cheat sheet.
A review of the debate tape reveals that, apparently, Mitt Romney needed a cheat sheet to keep the lies straight.
The rules of the presidential debates are clear about not bringing outside notes and presidents and aspirants have followed the rule for decades.
Video of the first eleven seconds of the debate available on YouTube shows Mitt Romney reaching into his pocket at the moment he is out of view of those in front of him, he used the lectern as a shield, and removing what appears to be folded papers from his pocket.
We see this because the camera that was broadcasting was behind Romney. Those in the audience and the moderator may have been shielded from his sleight of hand, but not the viewers.
Romney then proceeds to unfold the item in front of him.
For those curious if it could have been some else, later video sheds some light on what Romney retrieves from his lectern.
After the Romney and Obama families chat post-debate the President walks off stage, leaving his notes behind for an aide, no doubt.
But not so for Romney. The Presidential challenger goes back to his lectern to retrieve his items. It is clear that the only thing that Romney takes is paper. Not a handkerchief. Not a white flag. Nothing but paper.
So the next question is: what is Mitt Romney’s explanation for the apparent cheating?
Buck puts Al Gore to shame, but is he serious? Is Buck really that far removed from reality? Later, he updates and admits he was mistaken.
The evidence seems to indicate it was a handkerchief. So there you have it folks. The mystery seems to have been solved.
…… (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…)
It doesn’t change the fact that it is incredibly stupid to walk into a Presidential debate and sneak something from your pocket. There is advance staff to take care of tissues.
…… (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…)
So it seems that Mitt Romney did indeed memorize his lies rather than bring a laundry list of them with him. And he carries a hanky.
(Blah, blah, blahs added.)
I guess it should come as no surprise that a Democratic strategist is psychotic. It’s listed in the job description. What is a surprise is that FuckBuckhead missed the obvious cheating use of the handkerchief – it was soaked in a compound of nootropics, a cocktail of various organic compounds, natural and man-made, that enhance memory and mental functioning. (Organic, as in carbon-based compounds, hydrocarbons, and their derivatives, thus capable of being absorbed thru the skin.) During the debate, Romney’s mental functioning was the equivalent of two Einsteins, three da Vinci’s and a Marilyn vos Savant. UNFAIR!!
(Unfortunately, repeated or continuous use of these compounds cause the brain to prematurely wear out as well as hideously expensive. A rich man, like Romney, can afford them, but must use with great caution.)
As a member of the LDS church for some 50 years, nothing would give me more pleasure to see a member of the church as President of the United States. It is unfortunate that memebers of good standing in the church are controlled by the parties polocies. If the above statement is true then Mick is already under the influence of such polocies. I have no doubt that if elected then he will try to change some of the polocies so that (some) of the curruption within the party will be done away with.
I am sure that Mick will not win the ellection because he will not bring the Great naton of America to its knees, only Obama will do that along with those he is subservient to i.e Banks,big business, and dare I sugest, Great Britain.

Being a Catholic, 61 years old, and having attended a Catholic grade school, I remember the excitement among Catholics when John Kennedy was elected, despite the fears of many that the Pope would be dictating policies. I consider Romney a good and decent man. I believe he’ll be elected and will do more than Obama could dream of to get this country back on track.
I am with you there my friend. I do however seem to remember that because of party polotics he was forced to sign the paper allowing same sex marriages which was totally against his Mormon upbringing. This was done when he was Govener.
I remember the speach Kennedy gave talking about such matters as party polotics. I was living in England at the time and when I heard the news of his assissination I cried for the first time in my adult life.
God forbid that Obama is reallected, for in his being so will cause the downfall of America and the disintegration of the American Declaration of Independence.
Didn’t any of you ever have magicians at your birthday parties? A handkerchief can be used for all kinds of sleight-of-hand devices, like concealing an iPhone with all the answers to any conceivable question. Also, welcome to Robert Harrison, and thanks for introducing us to the intricacies of Australian spelling.
Oh, man!! I didn’t think about he iPhone connection! No telling what that tricky guy was up to. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a metal plate in his head and was capable of receiving radio waves.
