How can you call someone a Liar when he's standing right next to you?

25. Debate rules do not allow that kind of back and forth.

Consequently you can't count on being able to confront every lie as soon as it is spoken.

Also the reality is that it takes Obama 100 times as long to discuss the lie as it takes Romney to make the lie. You can never keep up with every lie in a debate like this, so you have to pick your spots.

What is important is that you do it enough times during the debate that:

1) The audience starts to feel the pattern

2) The opponent starts to feel some consequences from arguing lies.

When you get the floor, you can start with "Wow, there are so many claims there I hardly know where to begin. Governor Romney said xxxx. (turning to face Romney directly). Governor Romney, you know this isn't true, but your campaign continues to say this over and over. (turning back to the audience) Let me set the record straight. here are the facts ... And here is how this issue affects you."

It is vitally important a) to confront Romney directly, eye to eye, and b) to end up by explaining how the issue affects the average person.
