Plant 'em, then watch their noses grooooooow
HotAir.com put together a masterful look into the undecided voters who asked the Democrat candidates what turned out to be planted questions at a recent debate in Las Vegas. The chutzpah of these people is indescribable.
Oh, Chanman, you've got it all wrong! These guys are just re-framing the debate and the ends justify the means. It's only those right-wing/fundamentalist/red-state-Bush-lovers who lie and cheat!
The 'culinary workers' line from Obama was probably the funniest thing I've seen all day.
What I really don't understand is why they would even bother to misrepresent the questioners as undecided voters in the first place.
Busted indeed - I doubt most people will notice or care, though. And the ones who will surely aren't 'undecided.'
This stuff definitely happens on both sides. What I don't understand - and probably won't ever truly understand - is why anyone would even bother with such a charade.

Remember the soft exclamation, "OOOoooh bussstteeed".
Probably happens on the other side too. Scripted politics sucks.
