This is a discussion not an accusation... this video shows possible evidence:

"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by any candidate."

This was brought up in another thread, but it seems pretty unlikely it was actually a "cheat sheet". First of all, that would be really stupid since he made no attempt to conceal it (he just threw it on the podium as he walked up to it) on a stage with many cameras specifically pointed at him. I may not like Romney, but I don't think he's an idiot.

Secondly, nothing in his performance would have befitted from a cheat sheet. He won mainly through better presentation and style (and, if you're being less charitable, by being somewhat flexible with the facts). What would the cheat sheet have said? "Remember to smile and act like you really know what you're talking about"?

How can anybody know if he cheated if we don't know what rules the debate was governed by. If old rules like this applied:

c): No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by any candidate.…

then Romney clearly cheated. Anybody can see that a tangible object was removed from his pocket and pitched up on the podium. But Romney is entitled to cheat because Obama doesn't deserve to be President and he does.

Obama won it because his was original and he actually built it while Romney's prescribed emotions are too much for me to handle. He has the heart of an introverted lion and no mind of his own.

I also think if Obama was more futuristic, he would've been able to get the libertarian message out that I could tell he was trying to say. Obama has never been very precise, but he is quite accurate... Obama's lack of master planning is the biggest difference between himself and his buddy Dishonest Abe. Obama is still the most logical President after Coolidge and Reagan though... he thinks in the moment too much though while Romney has had his coup dtat planned for way too long.. the latter knew he'd have to have everything he said prescribed shortly after someone offered it to him. It had never even occured to Romney that he couldn't build it more than 10%. I think his buddies Bibil, Cameron, and Harper are the same way, but I'm not sure. Problem is that I can't help the secessionists, so maybe I need to go to Lichtenstein or somewhere else. I need to deregister myself from voting if someone hasn't already done so for me... maybe I'm just delusional, I don't know.

Obama may build something like the Trans Atlantic Rail Road though if he can be re-elected... he's kind of like Lincoln, but he won't be loving fascism as much if he were re-elected... he'd repeal his entire first term if the GOP would let him.

I just see a coup dtat personally, but most will never know about it. I hope Obama is taking what I'm saying into mind.
