Unfortunately, probably pretty close. The liberal moderator will have two primary goals in mind, 1) ask questions crafted to make the candidates look extreme, and 2) steer the candidates into attacking each other. More specifically make Perry look bad, steer other candidates into attacking Perry.
Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. That means they’ll give a lot of air time to Ron Paul, even more than the Fox News “debate” did. He can reliably be counted on to take swipes at Perry, and he can reliably be counted on to make the GOP look like a bunch of nutjobs. They’re gonna love him. Probably our best hope of anything unpredictable happening is if the moderators tick off Gingrich enough with their inane questions. I loved it when he went off in the last debate.
Yes and if they all bring up anything about Obama they will get the buzzer and be asked if it is safe for cows to have flatulance because of GW.Or why they had so many kids.(FEMALE CANDIDATES ONLY) a man could have 48 kids and not be questioned!
Whichever candidate brings up OBAMA’S FAILED GREEN STIMULUS company and the racial violence in WI and the Hoffa thing and fast and furious,and how Obama’s joint session speech will be the same stuff with new dem code words for tax and stimulus gets my vote; unless it’s Romney but he would never bring this stuff up anyway.
Ten things you won’t hear at the GOP debate
1. From Texas Gov. Rick Perry: “Not just the 16th and 17th Amendments — I want to get rid of a whole bunch of ‘em.”
2. From Mitt Romney: “RomneyCare — what did you expect? It’s Massachusetts, for goodness sakes!”
3. From Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.): “I’d love to have Sarah Palin as my VP!”
4. From Rick Santorum: “Loved, just loved that mandatory HPV vaccination program they had in Texas.”
5. From Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.): “If we don’t have Medicaid and Medicare, what would the poor and the elderly do?”
6. From Newt Gingrich: “If you want to know what kind of leader I am, look at my tenure as speaker of the House.”
7. From Jon Huntsman: “If I had only known how conservative the GOP is I never would have let John Weaver talk me into this.”
8. From Hermann Cain: “I really have no clue about most of this stuff. I run a pizza chain. A pizza chain, guys.”
9. From the moderators: “Let’s spend the first hour on national security.”
10. From any candidate: A good word about Obama, the debt-ceiling deal, the stimulus plan, Dodd-Frank or the U.S. Senate.
