Kennedy Destroys Romney In 1994 Debate

Mitt's 'flip-flop' on abortion yesterday makes this clip more relevant than ever.

Ted Kennedy: "My opponent is Multiple Choice".

Obama, Biden, the DNC, the media & all of us have to make sure Romney is dealt with the way Ted did so here.

may have passed. The President had multiple opportunities to confront Romney's
lies in the debate and let them go. This is not looking good.

2. Then again if confronted, Romney might have stopped lying/being himself.

45 minutes ( about half the 90 minute debate) of showing the American people that he knows that they will NOT accept right wing extremism.

is looking like the low information voters are falling for it. Maybe Newt was right, speaking of Romney it is impossible to debate someone that is fundamentally dishonest then asked if he was liar he said "yes". I know Newt is poor example but it takes one to know one.

He was like a freight train. Obama might have been able to do better, but he did pretty well by getting his message across and just not getting run over. Mitt was out of line and a lying sac-o-shit, just how do you deal with that in the time allotted?

Plus, any strategy the Prez develops for this next debate might be useless again, because Mitt is completely unpredictable.
