Watch: Did Mitt Romney Cheat During the Debate? You Make the Call

The rules for presidential debates are clear: No one is to bring into the debate forum any outside material. But new slow motion video from the debate shows Romney walking into the forum and, outside of the view of the audience, pulling some papers out of his pocket and placing them on the podium.

It seems that Romney pulled a cheat sheet from his pocket, and used that cheat sheet to beat President Obama. Some of us were wondering how Romney could’ve memorized all that data, all those numbers, well, now we may have an answer.

CBS Boston reports:

Video of the first eleven seconds of the debate available on YouTube shows Mitt Romney reaching into his pocket at the moment he is out of view of those in front of him, he used the lectern as a shield, and removing what appears to be folded papers from his pocket.

We see this because the camera that was broadcasting was behind Romney. Those in the audience and the moderator may have been shielded from his sleight of hand, but not the viewers.

And judging from the video, it does appear that Romney pulled paper from his pocket.

Everyone remembers Sarah Palin writing notes on her hand, which begs the question of whether cheating is endemic to Republicans? What do you think? Did Romney bring his own crib notes to the debate?

UPDATE: The Romney campaign has responded, saying that the candidate indeed pulled a handkerchief from his pocket. The campaign says that if you watch the entire debate, you’ll see that he used the object to wipe his face. But he didn’t use the *handkerchief* until the debate was almost over (at the  1:26:35 minute mark).

    Did anybody really expect anything less from a businessman who knows how to circumvent tax laws?

    Well…ROMNEY had a ton of lies in a SCRIPT to tell…so maybe he need his crib notes. Remember he had all those pre-written ZINGERS and other fables to remember. After seeing him in action this year — hiding taxes, covering up facts, fabricating lies on Pres. Obama — I would not put this sneaky mess past him either. What a sorry excuse for a candiate !

    I TOLD Y’ALL THIS THANG WAS RIGGED FROM JUMP STREET! WHY DO YOU THINK THE CAUCASOID MODERATOR GAVE willard SO MUCH TIME?

    All these excuses coming from the O’Drama-ites! Instead of Monday morning quarterbacks we got Thursday morning coaches!

    O’Drama is controlled! I keep telling y’all that! Do y’all think those yankees was gonna let willard look stupid and dumb in front of their own kind? Did y’all think they (elites) were gonna let O’Drama look like a STRONG BLACK MAN, in front of his kind?

    Poli(tricks) is a game, and this is the icing on the cake that willard is gonna be SELECTED to become ‘resident’ of the Black House!

    If O’Drama wanted to debate, he should’ve came with 12 cyclinders instead of 4. He is weak and too d**n submissive when he’s around caucasoids. He talked a big game when he was campaigning, but when the curtain rose up; he fell!

    I ain’t voting for none of those puppets because, who ever wins is gonna be controlled by the elite, who controls the world! He (O’Drama) was told how to act, what to say and he’s just another p**n in the Black House taking orders from his bosses.

    He had ALL day to praise his wife on their anniversay, and he came there to DEBATE, not to tell his wife he loves her. Save that shyt after the debate.

    Personally, I believe they (elite) told O’Drama not to be hard on willard because a lot of young Black males and females were watching, and they want to make sure our children continue to be WEAK and SUBMISSIVE to these caucasoids.

    Like I said in another post, this thang was rigged, and willard was given the questions to rehearse, and the commentator gave him the floor! These yankees are all in this thang together.

    I KNOW THE DEAL!!!

    One day y’all will start believing me about these cheating, lying a*s crackers, AND ABOUT THEIR RELIGION, TOO!!!

    Peace & Truth!

    I am not surprised AT ALL! He has proven that he says one thing and then turns around and says something else so the trust factor is NILL in my book!
