What's that smell?

Ya know, this whole thing smells like Karl Rove. Everyone is dissecting the lies that Romney threw out there, digging through statements he's made in the past and comparing them to those he made last night - and in the mean time, no one's talking about the 47% or Romney's missing tax returns or women's rights or his stand on immigration, etc., etc., etc.

Let's just accept that he's an accomplished liar and not give the 1st debate any more attention than it's already gotten.

The truth is out there for anyone to discover. You can't change closed minds, but liars are pretty much universally despised.
