I am not opposed to the general notion of having the opposing political party organize and run one of your debates. I am, however, opposed to being tricked into it without notice.

But hey, "Mainstream media is run by a bunch of liberals" has been news for what, 15 years now? So I'm hard pressed to feel sorry for people claiming surprise.

I wish that any of them would have had the guts after the guitar playin' singer to say.
I'm not going to be a part of this three ring circus.
Call me when you have an acceptable forum and walked off.

I have a hard time watching the Clinton News Network anyway, but the Youtubething was ridiculous.

How many who spend time on Youtube will actually vote?

I would venture to guess 'not many'

Actually I think a lot of voters spend time on YouTube. It's the up and coming generation.

I enjoyed the gun question the most.

(Although Mitt looked like a dummy on that one, too.)

What about the moron with the Bible question. That guy came across as a nut case. That was the worst debate I've ever watched. I watched on CNN Head Line News Channel. They cut out to commercials in the middle of candidates answering questions and then during the analysis with the focus group all they showed was some lady who was voting for Edwards and then went to some other programming. Then Hillary's general came in and made the network look stupid. My gosh, it was her own husband who came up with Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Maybe he should ask her about it. The candidates would have been better off missing that debate.

There were a great many questions about sex, and same sex crap... which imo showed the priorities of the liberal agenda that put the debate together at CNN. The fact that they went out of their way to get the gay retired brigadier general in person, shows just how contrived the event was... the intent to make all republicans look ridiculous by not allowing thoughtful responses and when they let him go off for a minute and a half you had to wonder who really was running for president.
