I think the Republicans are playing along totally with this Hillary tactic...with the purpose being three separate debates next year...none of which can be run by CNN (this episode shows why). Hillary will have a huge problem in overcoming a debate...without CNN’s help. The Republicans have this all figured out.

Conservative Blogosphere would be the place to post such info, Drudge wouldn’t do it.

I sent it to Michelle Malkin. If you go to the link, you can find their sophmoric humor laden with the N word, KKK, etc. The idea that these idiots can pose questions in a Presidential debate is unbelievable.

I turned to my wife when they handed the gay general(?) the mic for a response. “Something ain’t right here”

Well, Ruffini who thinks he’s so far above Freepers was the lead advocate for this youtube debate to happen. Congratulations Ruffini, on your success. LOL

As if Freepers couldn’t predict this would happen.

I didn’t watch what I knew would be a train wreck, but everything I’ve heard from it has just made me more disgusted with politics in general. My contempt for the media cannot get lower, at this point if they don’t show a person simulating sex or a murder I’m impressed.

But my contempt for many candidates can. And so can my contempt for anyone that can still justify support for Huckabee, Rudy and Romney at this point. If the sideshow of Rudy and Romney accurately zinging each other for being liberals wasn’t bad enough, Huckabee’s pure liberalism on everything but abortion and the Bible being the Word of God was. The last two positions are good, everything else is Clinton + bush on steriods.

And, damn, those three are actually making Mccain seem tolerable. That’s how bad they really are.

I actually haven’t had much problem with CNN news coverage the past few years, and have other problems with Fox, but this really ticks me off!

I’ve got a pasture full of fertilizer for CNN’s plants. Wish there was some way I could send it to them.

You are so right. That was my conclusion as well.

Mitt had a miserable night. He sounded like a weasely politician. "I have 2 guns - well, they're actually my son's." "I'll consult with advisors on waterboarding." "I believe the Bible is the Word of God (that wasn't the question - rigged as it was)."

The only question he answered firmly was his attack on Rudy about sanctuary cities. But then Rudy was immediately able to undermine any credibility on immigration that Mitt had just appeared to project.

And don't get me started on Huckabee. He answered exactly 2 questions well. One was merely a word-for-word repeat of Duncan Hunter's response to the planted gay general question. (When the general's mike went out I wish ANY of the candidates would have said "Anderson, will you please get off the gay general?") The other good Huckabee response was on the Bible question. It was a great ecumenical response to a thorny theological question.

Based on that performance, I wholeheartedly support Mike Huckabee for First Chaplain. But his compassionate conservative response on immigration was horrible. I'm sure that some illegal alien children might work hard to achieve academically. So what! They shouldn't be allowed to compete for scholarships that would otherwise go to Americans. I even resent using tax dollars to educate illegal aliens in public schools to begin with!

Rudy was even worse on immigration. "I was helping to combat crime in NYC by allowing illegals to attend school and receive health care." How? You're fighting crime by condoning other illegal activiy?

Rudy had many other bad moments in the debate. In fact, the entire night was a series of flailing poor answers by Rudy. Especially on 2nd Amendment rights and immigration, but even the softball Red Sox question elicited a weak response. I'm not a Rudy fan, but I have never seen Giuliani look so weak and ineffective.

McCain had some moments. I diagree with his position on waterboarding, but it appeared earnest. Other than that, he mainly appeared old and out of touch.

Ron Paul was out of touch with reality, period. Somebody please show this nutjob and his nutjob supporters to the door. Please!

The best performances of the night belonged to Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson and Tom Tancredo. Tancredo was pigeonholed into immigration issues, but answered his pet issue extremely well. Hunter showed more depth and had only a minor nuance stumble (I disliked his melancholy pandering rememberances of his father - sorry, I don't really care).

I think Thompson had some great answers and was allowed to show greater depth than Hunter, but I thought he had a few weak hacks at some breaking balls he should have hammered. I thought his answers on the Confederate flag and the plant abortion question were just OK - not great - and Fred should own all state's rights questions. But I especially loved his responses on guns - "I'm not telling you where I keep my guns" - and his defense of the office of the Vice President.

However, the biggest winners of the night were the Democrat candidates. Not only did they got to plant questions in a Republican debate, CNN intentionally selected questions to paint all Republicans (candidates and voters) as redneck, gun-toting, Bible-thumping, racist homophobes. That tarring won't directly hurt Republicans in primaries, we're smart enough to shrug off the liberal bias in the media's projection of who we are.

What disppoints me is that all of the smoke & mirrors of the Democrat plants and the irrelevant "God, Guns & Gays" stereotype in the contrived CNN debate will serve to obfuscate and diminish the negative impact of truly putrid performances of RINOs Rudy, Mitt & Huckabee. They were awful last night and will do great harm to our party and nation if they are not revealed to Republican primary/caucus voters.

That guy was pathetic, his speech was pathetic, his microphone went off, a sign from above almost.

I swear I heard "that's enough" in the background, but I couldn't tell if it was a candidate, or Cooper.

Anyone else hear that?

The debate was a JOKE!

Most of the questions were meant to embarrass or ridicule conservatives.

That guy asking the question about The Bible needs to read it himself. Or, have his butt kicked.

Didn't know if this direct link was posted about LeeAnn Anderson, Pittsburgh, PA the woman who asked about the lead in toys. Women from USW hold parties to raise awareness about toys, other imports

..."Leeann Anderson, left, [picture] a member of the United Steelworkers Women of Steel, and Mary Sparks, a local union activist trained by the USW, test a doll for lead contaminants at Ms. Anderson's home in Mt. Lebanon.

...."Ms. Anderson is assistant to Leo Gerard, president of the United Steelworkers of America. Her "Get the Lead Out" party was one of the first in a planned nationwide blitz by USW women, "....

..."The last step dovetails with the union's larger agenda -- Ms. Anderson's demonstration took place in front of a large backdrop linking "corporate greed, outsourced jobs, unfair trade, unsafe products and children at risk."...

CNN is doing the Republicans a favour by heating up their base. It may be that regardless of who becomes the nominee the Republicans will turn in droves just to get back at Clinton (CNN). Michael Moore, another unfair player, had a similar effect in charging up the GOP base.

Even if the line up ends up as Clinton (CNN) vs Giuliani (Fox), more people watch Fox. And hopefully that translates into more votes.

No Taxes, no healthcare,

this CNN debate is a joke.

Who was the producer? Jannet Reno?

FNC does not have the following of republicans it once had. It seems to have gone into overdrive to endorse giuliani. Hanity is a total schill.

I agree strongly with this. Their liberalism was fully on display, and yet it's all about CNN. I bet those three are thrilled to have CNN as a punching bag to avoid answering to their views in illegal immigration, government and life.

from the recaps, I'd agree with you. Tancredo, Hunter and thompson were the best on issues which is what this SHOULD be about for any who brazenly calls themselves a conservative. yeah, I'm calling out AGAIN NRO, Hugh hewitt, Malkin and anyone else that has largely ignored policy for other factors. No surprise really, they are the only three that can legit call themselves conservative politicians. And, yeah, from the recaps I read McCain did okay at least in comparison to RINO NY, RINO MASS and RINO Arkansas. I guess that makes him the "moderate" of the group, though certainly not in the conservative trio given his views on torture and amnesty.

Yeah, OR, it merely served to further distance the American voter from an interest in politics given the joke of a debate.

Breaking news...Rush ended the first segment saying there was ONE candidate who was NOT a moderate last night. He was talking about Fred...not an endorsement, but Fred should be doing cartwheels today.

Rush is furious over the whole joke that was the CNN Debate. Blasting the General saying--Go ask the Clintons about gays in the military!!! Rush says the questions represented the typical Republican stereotypes—the Bible, gays, what would Jesus do?, etc. He said—so what if our guys did great! There was no mention of freedom or taxes or the future of our country if the Dems are in charge! Also, Rush said that the opening act of the idiot strumming the guitar would have caused him as a candidate to tell Anderson Cooper that the race for president is serious as he walked off the stage.
