We should have a webcast debate where we are not at the mercy of these news networks.

The GOP is not called “the stupid party” without reason.

(The ‘Rats are “the evil party” for those who don’t know.)

“(By the way, have you heard about that reporter’s criminal record?)”

No I haven’t. Do you have a link?

And why do they let states like Iowa and New Hampshire be the first to select their nominees? The first GOP primaries should be held in Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Alabama.

The questions will be structured so they attack each other and keep Obama’s failure off topic.

Except what “they” get, we all get.

Why doesnt our GOP insist that Mark Levin moderate a democrat debate?

Clueless or complicit? The Republicrat party rolls on.

Is this the debate “moderated” by Charlie Rose, former Dem Party staffer?

As long as they keep everyone on stage fighting each other while Romney looks presidential, the establishment RINOs will accept this format.

Absolutely! I've been saying this for years. The dummycrats would NEVER go to a debate with Hannity or Rush as moderators.

So, why in the hell do they go get roasted and flayed by those libtards. Romney and Perry would do well with them since they're dummycrats at heart, but you'd think the rest of them would say no.

Rush moderating would be a great debate!

One of the moderators is Karen Tumulty, from article:

Oh, and have I mentioned that Karen Tumulty was a member of Ezra Klein’s Journolist —the list serve that leftwing activists and journalists used to coordinate hit jobs on conservatives?

Now that she has formally announced she’s not running, maybe we should have Sarah moderate all of the debates.

Yes Rose is one of the moderators, more from the article

....I’d want neither one of them asking Republican candidates questions to help Republican voters decide who should be the nominee when the world views of both strike me as hostile to every one of the candidates on the stage.

The candidates are going to have to spend more time challenging the presuppositions of her’s and Charlie Rose’s questions than actually answering the questions. About the only good that will come of it is making Newt Gingrich look awesome as he bludgeons them with his mind.
