CNN is NOT giving us “America” in a YouTube debate. CNN is giving us what THEY think America is and CNN is ANTI-AMERICAN in the first place!

Remember… CNN is the one controlling this mess and ANYTHING they can do to make the USA look bad is their chief goal.

Ten thousand people submit questions, and CNN cherry picks twenty of them to match their agenda. Yeah, that’s real representative.

The ONLY reason they’re doing this is because the liberal moderators have exhausted their own credibility, and now they need a screen of “random” American meat puppets to hide behind as they ramp up their leftist rhetoric to the next level.

If Senator Brownback wants to start apologizing for inappropriate things said, perhaps he could pull the “beam out of his own eye before taking the speck out of someone else’s” by apologizing for the website ‘Baptists for Brownback’ that states that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Fred Thompson and others are ‘Hell bound.’

(I don’t like fred?, but he clearly isn’t hell bound)

Why is it that Brownback is always in the middle of a criticism of someone else’s religion? This totally tears it for me, Brownback will never get back on my viable candidate list. That makes three on the list.

Remember… CNN is the one controlling this mess and ANYTHING they can do to make the USA look bad is their chief goal.

“giving speeches to corn fields” Heh. Don’t get me wrong, I like Huckabee a lot. I hope he’s running for VP for someone. But even a guy who speaks truth to powerful corn deserves better than the MTV generation…

I can’t imagine any candidate trying to duck that debate. They would want to duck it, but they couldn’t without losing massive credibility.

While I don’t like the youtube debates, I’m glad Huckabee is in. He needs to be heard and seen in whatever way possible. He’s BEYOND just a nice guy, he’s done some great things in Arkansas that would translate very well nationally. Sure, he has about 0% chance at getting the nomination, but I think it would be incredibly foolish not to consider him as Vice President.

God I can’t wait for more snowman questions….

Sadly, you won’t get any. Rush Limbaugh has taken to referring to liberals as the “drive-by media.” This idiotic Youtube schtick is the ultimate culmination of that.

None of these nonsensical farces were ever a debate between any of the candidates. This idiotic format is really always a series of mini-debates between each candidate and the so-called “moderator.”

Of course, any liberal media figure would rather die than publically admit his bias. But at the very least a known anchor has to show his face on TV again after every hit-job he pulls on a Republican candidate.

But now even that tiny thread of accountability is finally being cut. All the liberals have to do is cherry pick one out of every ten thousand submissions and then claim: “Hey, CNN isn’t responsible for these questions…”

“Don’t blame us; it’s all the snowman’s fault!”

God I can’t wait for more snowman questions….

…but calling YouTube “a little different” is like calling BJ Clinton “a little horny.”

How about a radio debate with Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill Oreily, and Michelle Malkin moderating. Then we will get some real questions.

That isn’t merely a good idea, that is a great idea. I hope some of those who could make such a thing happen read that comment. It would really clarify things for the Republican party and conservative movement without all of the liberal “gotcha” BS that goes on at all of these other so-called “debates”.

Why?

Dude, watch the video.

Right now, Huckabee is giving campaign speeches to corn fields. Believe it or not, Youtube is actually a step UP for this guy.

Why tf does anyone care about discussing public policy with 14 to 17 year old girls with stuffed animals on their beds, and the 14 to 20 year old guys who go there to see if the girls will “show us their tits”, none of whom could operate a voting booth even if we promised them Taco Bell coupons?

Why?

While I don’t agree with you on your staying away from YouTube, I do like you’re Talk Radio Debate idea. Throw in Laura Ingraham and Glen Beck and you’ve got a deal.

Maybe never carry the top of the ticket, but he’d make a great VP for Giuliani (for example). Think socon + midwest + south.

Purple Fury on August 3, 2007 at 9:18 AM

I think he would make a great VP for anyone!

Huckabee’s a good guy… Should be getting much more attention than he is, esp. with Fred’s campaign kinda-sorta stumbling.

Purple Fury on August 3, 2007 at 9:12 AM

As far as Fred? goes, he’s got some “splainin” to do regarding his Spencer appointment, not to mention his lack of clarity regarding his lobbying days (its not the fact that he lobbied for pro-choice clients, but the fact that his campaign provided BS spin about it).

So, why do our politicians continue to slide in the direction of less serious, less intelligent discussion of the issues — TubeTop — but we never hear a proposal for a serious, long, and thorough examination of a candidate’s positions, thinking ability, and temperament?

Jaibones on August 3, 2007 at 9:53 AM

What are you, deaf? Huckabee clearly said that debating random people on Youtube will help “change America and take politics back.”

Or maybe it was “change politics and take America back…”

Whichever.

Anyway, the point is that he’s obviously got all that substantive crap covered. So it’s time to buckle down and show his leadership timbre by continuing to do absolutely anything, anywhere, anytime, and with anyone to get his face on TV.

Now, bring on the snowmen!
