The 800 Pound Gorilla in the Debate Hall

Have you noticed that ever since Reagan said to Carter "there you go again," the Presidential debates have been either innocuous or controlled to advance a liberal agenda? Until Candy Crowley moderated the Ryan/ Biden Vice Presidential debate and interrupted Congressman Ryan 176 times, making her own political assertions, it was done through loaded questions and subtle suggestions. Now a moderator is extolled for their “Candy Crowley moments.” They are supposed to "fact check," which is a euphemism for measuring what a candidate says against the approved media narrative. Fact checking seldom involves an examination of official records, or peer reviewed sources but a google search for pseudo-commentary to make the moderator seem credible. Who chooses these moderators? Who makes the rules? Why do we call them debates? Are they? Are there two sides of an argument allowed? What do we really learn from these debates?

These debates are usually opened by a "has been" but dignified politician speaking for "The Commission on Presidential Debates." This emcee is one of these commissioners. They begin by announcing the distinguished liberal or pseudo-conservative media moderator whose only qualification for moderating is a communications degree from a liberal university. This is the way these debates have been organized for the last several election cycles. Each candidate used to have opening statements, which allowed them to at least for a moment share their vision for the country, but now the opening question from the moderator quickly takes the focus off the issues:

"Governor Reagan is age an issue in this campaign?""Mr. Vice President Quayle, how do you spell potato?""Mr. Speaker while married to your second wife did you tell her that you wanted an open marriage?""Governor do you believe states can prohibit birth control?""Mr. Trump did you talk about that lady's nasty?"

These questions are loaded questions; they are designed to set a trap for those who would answer them. They are targeted to one candidate and designed to keep them on the defensive, while making the other look pure as the driven snow. They are designed to shield the media's candidate from criticism. but worse than that they are designed to establish the moderators as modern day High Priest of the Sanhedrin.

These moderators placed in their role by this invisible force The Commission on Presidential debates becomes the imprimatur of Ameriican morality and decency. These self-appointed former politicians on the Commission for Presidential Debates, as Wiki leaks has now shown, collude with patronizing unaccountable television news personalities to destroy the candidate they don't like. These moderators then spend the next 90 - 120 minutes convincing the world of their sagacity. Who gave these people control of these debates?

Under the auspice of ombudsman-ship The Commission on Presidential Debates has become the 800 pound gorilla in the debate hall. Instead of debates where two people with divergent visions present them to the public' offer rebuttals to to each other, these events become tools for obfuscation. We know this is true because immediately after the debate these same arbiters of public opinion tell the public which candidates is "the winner." Since when do the umpires and referees declare the winner! This determination is often based on the immediate emotional response of a supposedly unbiased, undecided group of voters (who if by this time they are still undecided must be complete bafoons or they spend all their time watching the Muppets). This group of people then become spokesmen for what the American people supposedly believe about the candidates performance. These people tell us which candidate is the best for America's future, and we are supposed to accept their opinion. Then the media will spend every news day between debates going to great links to find people who can testify to their horrible things the bad candidate has done. This is the 800 pound gorilla in the debate halls. The Commission on Presidential Debates is managed to create a venue where the media controls the political ideology of the campaign season. They are the censorship bureau for the political establishment.

They control who attends the events and where they sit in the room. They prohibit the audience from reacting, ostensibly to manage the time, but obviously it is so they can determine what the reaction will be. The last debate was a clear example of censorship. The venue was designed to convince the American People that Hillary Clinton was the resurrected, persecuted Virgin Mary and Donald Trump was rapist Ted Bundy. That's what we are supposed to believe people because the main stream media says so.

Ever since Bill Clinton declared his candidacy for President the media has portrayed Hillary as the loyal wife who has stood next to her misogynist husband, because that is all a woman can do. The narrative we are being sold is (and believe me they were setting up Cruz for the same narrative, remember when it looked like he might win suddenly 5 neglected abused mistresses suddenly appeared. The saint was defrocked) that both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are predators. We know that, because all men are predators, but Republicans are serial abusers. Conservative men are too stupid and too driven by sex do anything but oppress poor helpless women and passive gentlemen who get in their way. These people want to replace male role models like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood with Colin Kapernik and Prince.

The debates are very carefully manipulated events. The last debate billed as a town hall had only five questions. None had anything to do with the economy, national security, or maintaining a civil society. Where was the dialogue with the American people and with each other? These cacophony's are designed to create a narrative the left has been selling for years. That conservatives are abusers and liberals are compassionate. It's time for the American people, especially women to wake up. They are playing you. And while the Commission on Presidential debates may be the orchestra. Rest assured the democratic party is the conductor. I've heard some people claim the next debate will be honest because Chris Wallace of Fox News is the moderator. For those who don't know who Chris Wallace is Google him. The apple seldom falls far from the tree, and Wallace like most of us gets more like his father, the older he gets. Take heart we know he's qualified 'the bi-partisan Commission on Presidential Debate carefully and judiciously selected him.

The Commission on Presidential Debates was established for one reason to make sure the narrative is controlled by the establishment of the both parties. 

The Commission on Presidential Debates was established for one reason to make sure the narrative is controlled by the establishment of the both parties.

The Commission on Presidential debates was formed after the 1992 election cycle. Prior to that time debates were sponsored by private non-profit civic groups, most commonly the League of Women Voters. They were seldom political organizations, and they met with candidates and worked out the terms in advance of each election cycle. The debates had opening and closing statements. The moderators were approved by both sides, and the League guarded objectivity. It worked pretty good. But the League of Women votes commited the unpardonable sin of American politics in 1992. They put the interest of the people above the good old boys.

Ross Perot's Reformed Party candidate was immensely popular, so they let Ross join the debate, and he made some sense. The Republicans were upset because George Bush got bored with the whole thing looked at his watch, seemed disinterested and lost the debate and subsequently the election. The Democrats were upset because Perot's new party, though assuring Clinton election in 1992 (because that's what third party candidates do) was mainly made up a constituency of blue collar and union workers. It was a threat to the democratic party. So after the election the analyst, the media and the political consultants decided they had to protect the their club. They could not let the people control the information. So the Republicans and Democrats did an amazing thing. They came together to get something done. The problem (as usual) was what they did. They sought to maintain the stranglehold the two party establishments had on power. How could they allow people running the debates whom they could not control.

It's understandable the League of Women voters did an unconciousonable thing. The allowed businessman, who had no political attachments, and who understood the game they were playing to have a voice in American politics. So the 800 pound gorilla was born. The gorilla was born for one reason to make sure the donor class and the media control the political messaging in America. To make sure emotions were stirred. To make sure that candidates won who knew that only government could solve our problems. They formed to make insurgents appear to be perverts.

On the next time you watch how much attention is given to Frank Luntz's focus groups little dials than to the issues that face our country. Rest assured the object is to protect the narrative that Hillary Clinton is the Virgin Mary and that Donald Trump is Ted Bundy. The Commission on Presidential Debates have turned the debates into a game, and the American people are being played. Am I going to watch the next debate? Well of course I am, I have long admired ventriloquism and the commission is one of the greatest. The whole thing is designed so that the establishment line comes out of the moderator's wooden lips. The reason ventriloquism is entertaining is you do not realize who it is whose is making the dummy talk. As long as the Commission on Presidential Debates serves as the censorship bureau for the establishment, these debates will be nothing but a comedy routine. In fact, that has become the very purpose it serves and that is the 800 pound gorilla in the debate hall.
