How many times must we hitch the horse to the cart before we get it right? In November 2008, we allowed the insufferably mendacious Democratic Party to put up for election as President of the United States, one ndescribably narcissistic, arrogant well-spoken individual in a coat of many colors. Barack Hussein Obama, never thoroughly vetted by either party, turned out to be a perfect fit for the Democratic Party the history of which beginning with our seventh president, Andrew Jackson, has attempted to foist socialism and progressivism onto the American public.

Our president, with the grace of an elephant in heat, parked himself in the Oval Office, planted his shoe-clad feet upon the Rutherford B. Hayes Desk, a gift to the United States from Queen Victoria in 1880 and proceeded to pontificate. His first act was to issue an Executive Order placing any biographical information about himself out of reach of the public. To this day, we have received no truthful information regarding his heritage nor any proof that he is eligible to serve, or that he is even an American.

Today is October 22, 2012 – just 2 week and 2 days before America again puts itself in jeopardy of re-electing a fraud to yet another four-years of demagoguery, deception, and further degradation of our beloved constitution. Four debates have taken place between the candidates. Members of the far left media moderated all of them and little effort was made or even feigned to hide the fact that the moderators were going to defer to and favor the Democratic candidates. Only Jim Lehrer of PBS maintained a modicum of neutrality. Obama was somewhere in Lala land without his trusty teleprompters. He stuttered and stammered, lied and made up facts as he went along.

To date all the rest have been ludicrous. The obviously liberal moderators failed miserably in their purported task and have presented the candidates unfairly, not allowing them to present their points of view.

On October 11, Martha Raddatz of ABC News lost control of the debate. Joe Biden made a real fool of himself; he laughed, grinned, grimaced, interrupted numerous times – all without remonstration from Raddatz. To top it off, Raddatz was so poorly groomed as to be a disgrace to womanhood, ABC, tele-journalism and the debates.

On October 16, CNN’s Candy Crowley was excruciatingly obvious in her mishandling of the Town Hall Type Debate at Hofstra University. She proffered incorrect supporting commentary for Obama’s lies about the disaster in Benghazi on September 11. She selected the questions and the questioners very obviously to aid Obama who was obnoxious, rude and monarchial as usual.

Governor Romney was obviously taken aback by the behavior of both Obama and Crowley. She too, like Raddatz was extremely badly groomed for a woman making the money she makes and the situation in which she was the host.

Americans have come to expect bad – even disgraceful – conduct from politicians and TV types.

One debate to go and the designated moderator is another known quality. Not quality really – CBS’s Bob Schieffer has traits and bad habits as opposed to qualities. He smirks rather than smiles. He is condescending rather than gracious. He, like the others is untrustworthy, opinionated and does his utmost to come across as truthful and believable. One might call him deceitful.
