Those things have never been debates.
Rush would have walked off the stage after the opening “song” video. I would have cheered if a candidate had done that.
CNN should run a story on this.
Oh Look! A Flying Pig!
I LOVE what Rush is saying about the debate not being serious. So true.
I am just happy that the Rockelfeller Christmas tree lighting was on last night and I only got to see 10 minutes of this joke of a debate.
Indeed. Rush has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Me too.
You should try to get those links to Rush.
Rush is eatin’ gun powder and crapping bullets....
He ain’t even started the Breck Girl bitch slappin’ you know is acomin’
We are a blessed lot.........
Jay Fox: I'm Jay Fox, lifetime member of the NRA. Now, I am from a small town and as in any small time, we like our big guns. My question to you is: What is your opinion of gun control? And don't worry, you can answer however you like.
(Laughter)
(Applause)
Cooper: Congressman Hunter? You have 90 seconds.
Hunter: Well, first I've got to inform Jay that as a guy who got his first hunting license at the age of 10 and really believes in the right to keep and bear arms, and used them in the military, as my son did in Fallujah, you should never throw a gun to a person. He should have taken that gun handed-off from his fellow hunter. So you have to be safe with guns, Jay.
From YouTube:
Fox Bros. Studios is a small-scale production company located in Boulevard, CA. We are currently working on "Vigilantes", a comedy series that takes place on the U.S./Mexico border.
Nome: Tim and Jay
Tim and Jay Fox are the founders of Fox Bros. Studios. Jay Fox (21 yrs. old) is a senior at Chapman film school in Orange, Ca. Tim Fox (19 yrs. old) is a Sophomore at Grossmont Community College in San Diego, Ca.
Here is one of their pieces: Vigilantes
It appears they like to make fun of the Minutemen and anti-illegal immigration advocates. They also like to use the N-word and dress up in KKK outfits.
I totally agree with Rush. I am so sick and tired of the trivializing of running for President. This is so very serious. We have so many major, serious issues facing our future as a nation and it disgusts me to see the presidential race so trivialized by the nonsense at these debates. Everything comes down to sound bites any more. I agree with Rush. I wish to heaven the candidates would have walked off the stage...truly risen above to show that they are capable of statesmanship.
What didn’t happen was a real debate, although what we saw was certainly, if only occasionally, entertaining. What we saw tonight was the usual for a presidential “debate.” In other words, it was a joint press conference, the only real difference being that, this time, it was punctuated by cute videos made by “real Americans” “just like you.” That’s the hype, anyway.
What we really saw tonight was CNN playing out its own agenda in front of a couple million viewers and seven or eight candidates, without anyone calling them on it.
Did you notice the announcement about the tree being cut by manual power instead of machine “to save energy”? I wasn’t watching but someone mentioned it on the radio.
Please............
How much of a statement would that have made... If Romney or Fred, after the umpteenth question designed to make the GOP look awful, just decided to leave, turned to his fellow challengers and asked them to do the same... citing liberal partinship on CNN’s part... We’d all be talking about it for days...
One other freeper and myself, said on the live thread last nite that RWR would have walked off the stage.
From NR last night:
Richelieu: A Depressing Debate
November 28, 2007 • By Richelieu
What a depressing debate. CNN’s long slide into mediocrity accelerates. Is this what running for president of the greatest democracy in the world has become? Standing in front of CNN’s corporate logo in a hall full of yowling Ron Paul loons and enduring clumsy webcam questions from Unabomber look-a-likes in murky basements?
I feel lucky to be from an earlier century where your own founding fathers knew that the secret to government is to protect it from the daily mob. Clearly the boundless paranoia of middle-aged media executives about the kids and their mysterious “Internet” has led them to stoop to this kind of pandering foolishness. They should feel shame tonight.
So, a good night for for the lowest denominator, a bad night for the GOP. America got to see a vaguely threatening parade of gun fetishists, flat worlders, Mars Explorers, Confederate flag lovers and zombie-eyed-Bible-wavers as well as various one issue activists hammering their pet causes. My cheers went to a listless Fred Thompson who easily qualified himself to be president in my book by looking all night like he would cheerfully trade his left arm for an early exit off the stage to a waiting Scotch and good Cuban cigar. The media will probably award a win to Mike Huckabee, the easy listening music candidate at home in any crowd, fluent in simpleton speak and the one man on the stage tonight who led the audience to roaring cheers by boasting that he had a special qualification to be president that none of the second-raters on the stage could match: A degree in Bible Studies from Ouachita Baptist University of Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
