“So the voting public doesn’t get to see him because he doesn’t fit the MEDIA profile?”

Hey, you want him in a debate that bad? Host your own instead of complaining here where it can do no good. That’s the American way. Blaming the media when McCotter should have known the game and apparently didn’t play it well enough is just silly.

You’re okay with “he should have known the game”? You had FOX overrule the IOWA Republican party on whether or not McCotter could participate. He was TOLD by the Party that if he paid the $18,000 entry fee to the Straw Poll, he could participate in the debate. FOX said no!

In the subsequent debates, the media outlets were citing poll numbers to set the criteria for participation. McCotter was NOT included in nearly 80 % of the polls used.

During the PONZI SCHEME DEBATE, McCotter introduced legislation that SAVES SOCIAL SECURITY and it was TOTALLY IGNORED by the media. They even complained that nobody ever does anything to try and fix Social Security. McCotter introduces legislation that does, and they don’t cover it. He accurately described it as “Kafkaesque”

If you don’t think that the MEDIA is running this show, you’re not paying attention.
