Dems Don't Like Hard Questions Because They Can't Answer Them

Wednesday night’s Pennsylvania Democratic debate hosted by ABC News’ Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos was a near revelation. Instead of snowmen asking inanities journalists were asking tough questions that neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama seemed able to answer. The New York Times blog reports that “More than 10 million viewers tuned into Wednesday’s Democratic debate on ABC, making it the most-watched debate of the primary election season.”

The poor performance by both Democrats -- in front of so large an audience -- benefits presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

The entire first 45 minutes of the debate was spent addressing the most recent gaffes by Clinton and Obama: her false claim to have landed under fire in Bosnia, and his Marxian remarks to a San Francisco audience in which he said rural voters, bitter at their situation, were “clinging” to guns, religion and hatred for people unlike themselves. (All Obama didn’t add was the line about religion being an “opiate of the masses.”)

Liberal tenets have been proven to be bankrupt by events. No wonder the liberal politician has to control the questions, to keep from exposing the lies that underpin liberalism.

You can't BE a liberal politician if you can't dodge, dissemble, spin, and utilize pretzel logic to bamboozle the masses.

This has been an amazing election. If things keep going this way, 2 of the most prominent potentials in the democratic party will have had their political futures destroyed. Had either run without the other, they could have won. Talk about irony. I love politics.

Stephanopolous told Clinton that “about six in 10 voters that we talk to say they don't believe you're honest and trustworthy.”

Ouch! That had to smart coming from little George.

Meanwhile, a third of the “most prominent potentials”, Spitzer, took himself out by his hypocritical dallying with call girls.

Re: ...Stephanopoulos’ questions on Wright, “Senator, two questions. Number one, do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do? And number two, if you get the nomination, what will you do when those sermons are played on television again and again and again?

“But you do believe he's as patriotic as you are?” asked Stephanopoulos again. Obama answered that Wright is a former Marine.

Well, nObama, you mean patriotic... like Timothy McVeigh serving in the Army?

“Obama answered that Wright is a former Marine.”

So was Lee Harvey Oswald.

So was Lee Harvey Oswald (a former Marine).

And, so was Charles Whitman.
