Romney caught breaking debate rules!
When the moderator detailed the rules of the debate, he specifically said “No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by any candidate.”
This meant that the candidates were not supposed to bring any pre-planned statements, written on paper so they could just read them verbatum, which would defeat the purpose of having a debate, which is to hear what the candidates themselves thing, not what their staff pre-writes.
Like any other Republican, Romney is incapable of following the rules… and here’s the video to prove it.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen. He cheated.
Romney walked into that debate with not a shred of respect for the rules being set for by that moderator, and it continued as he refused to stop speaking whenever Jim asked him too, and often took extra turns. The fact that be brought a cheat sheet to the debate is just as disrespectful, and it is cheating.
Clearly the man has no values, no morals, and is the last person anyone would want to run their country. If the man cannot conduct himself with honour during a debate, then how can anyone expect him to be a respected statesman?
This is why people around the world have more respect President Obama and think that he’s a good man. He follows the rules and doesn’t cheat.

Did Obama not have anything either? It seems like he was looking down an awful lot.

Sheik_2002: There was blank paper and pens at each podium so they could take notes, which is allowed. That is what Obama was doing. After reviewing the tapes, Romney wasn’t writing a thing, and now we know why: He brought pre-written stuff with him. Cheers,

Hmm, I’m surprised that isn’t making the news rounds a bit more then. I do see Fox News’ new “bias alert” piece is that the media’s new debate excuse is that Romney lied. How dare those fact checkers check facts!?

What an idiot thinking he could get away with this.

sigh. It was his handkerchief, fellas. They even showed him using it later on. Relax. I can’t think of one thing I like about Mitt Romney, but letting Obama off the hook for his performance isn’t helping. Romney won. Get over it. Move on. Even Rachel Maddow is making fun of you.

God damn dirty cheating bastard. Here in the UK, looking in, we are all of the opinion that Obama has it in the bag.

That’s Romney for ya!

I’m fairly sure this the “cheating” hypothesis was disproved–Romney got out a white handkerchief, which he dabbed his face with later in the debate. Playing the devil’s advocate though, what do you think would be on a single piece of paper that would have helped Romney win the debate?
