Congrats to Admin Moderator, Lead Moderator, and Sidebar Moderator!
Good to see there a balance between the leftist blowhards and the extreme leftist blowhards.
How exponential.
You forgot you're sarcasm tag! :-)
Left, Lefter, Leftist.
Why do the pussies in the Republican party CONTINUE to allow this in-your-face, stacked deck treatment?
Why not bring back Tim Russert? At least he asked some tough questions.
Yeah, I realize he'd deceased, but he would still do a better job than these three old fossils.

Isn’t there usually a LOT more arguing and bickering over this?
Seemingly way too smooth.
I hope they at LEAST make a couple of them “discussions” at a table rather than the old styled debate.
Yep, it’s the same-o, same-o (yawn) leftists. The Fairness Doctrine only applies to the libs being in charge.
Spicing the debates up by adding Rush, Sean, Levin, Michelle Malkin or Laura Ingerham would make it so much more interesting.
Gee, I’m so glad they’ve picked three people who have never shown any bias. :eyeroll:
Wish we could make up our own list here...
My arse!
This Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is totally crooked, totally paid off. But yet the Republicans agree to their rules every election. We need to quit allowing the Dems to be the bosses.
I think it would be hilarious if they had Neal Boortz or Glen Beck moderating one of the debates.
At least three out of the four DON’T have major speech impediments.
Yes - I like either one of those also.
I remember that debates would be run by League of Woman Voters and the like. Who the hell is the Commission on Presidential Debates? If I was running I would tell them to pound sand! These debates are boring as hell!
I guess Bret Hume was too good for that group. He’s the best of the whole anchor bunch.
Frank Fahrenkopf, a former RNC chairman, is co-chairman of this commission and signed off on this bunch!
I’d like to think he did so only because the other choices would be even more biased. I’d like to think that.....
