Just so everyone is clear on the outrage

Dem and GOP agree on debate rules

Dem breaks rules

GOP calls dem out on breaking rules

Media and the left attack the GOP

 

There is no outrage. This doesn't make me angry. I have not seen folks outraged. People are laughing - for good reason - it is sort of hilarious.

Who said anything about outrage? 

 

How about:

Dem and GOP agree on debate rules

GOP governor throws tantrum over seemingly extremely minor detail, subjecting self to ridicule

GOP governor Is ridiculed.

GOP cries about how unfair it is that they're being ridiculed

 

I see no attack in anything posted in this thread.  The debate moderator stated what was happening.  The C-Span anchor asked him why it happened.  He could have said "Because we agreed on rules and he broke them."  That's not an attack.

How do people like this get elected to anything to begin with?

 

this is the fundamental problem as i see it.

Look at his opponents that's how.  Scott screwed up big time.  I think in the latest polls he had taken a small lead but this stupidity will sink him. Florida has two awful candidates running for Governor. The idea of someone like Crist winning sickens me but then Scott is not much (if at all) better.

Yep this is how it is going down. (BTW I have already voted for Scott, but I think this will sink him).

Did they really go over "fans" in the debate agreement? I seriously doubt it. It's South Florida. It's hot. I lived in WPB for 7 years. It's hot. How exactly is a "fan" an unfair advantage. I'm sure Crist would let Scott have a fan if he wanted one. He didn't ask.

Heard a caller on the radio this morning saying the campaign manager for Crist should go buy a ton of those hand held fans that you put a battery in and have them say, "I'm a fan of Crist." Brilliant.

They did specifically state No Fans.

Crazy maybe. But they both agreed to it

Were either of these two, or both, elected leaders of a home owners association at some point in the past? This is the kind if meaningless detail that COA's and HOA's will go to war over.

Perhaps if you modified your last two items to . . . .

Rick Scot responds by holding his breath and announcing that he won't come out of his room.

Kilmer claims media and the left are attacking GOP.

Agreed. Seems stupid, but the moderator absolutely did state that yes, that really was the rule.

No meaningless detail.  The war was fought ahead of time, and one guy decided to break the rules in order to make the other look bad. Too bad it worked.

Your evil Dem conspiracy theory is based on the assumption that Christ knew, in advance, that Scott would hold his breath and hide in his room.

What is proper way to address someone who openly flouts agreements without looking petty?  Rule breakers always put abiders in bad positions.

Well, one possible response would have been to just show up and debate the guy. 

 

Now, if your point it that it's real tough to complain about "He's got a fan and that's against the rules!" without looking petty, then I agree with you.  (Although I think there were several possible responses that would have looked less petty.) 

 

I'm not sure it's possible to complain about this particular rule, without looking petty.

 

(I think that says something about the rule.)
