Make fact-checkers available AS the debate is being seen to prevent voters from taking any candidate at face value. This election is far too important to leave up to the actor who tells the best lies.
Why is this important?
Usually, the old bait and switch tactic refers to telling lies to get you to buy something and then switching products. Tonight was saw the switch take place BEFORE buying the product in an opposite approach. All along, he's told us the truth about what he would do with taxes, Medicare, foreign policy, etc., but tonight, he switched before we could take the bait because the bait wasn't working. Nobody was buying. Easy fix: change the product to look more like the winning team even if the real Romney plan bears no resemblance. Personally, I was appalled at the gall of a man running for the highest office in the land to blatantly deny his own plans and policies. I think it might have even thrown Obama off his game to actually hear Romney deny and lie to the President and the people of this country. I was saddened by the extent he went to improve his chances. It was a terrible example to set for his 5 sons, if nothing else.
