CNN?

I guess the first ‘12 GOP Presidential debate in SC doesn’t matter as much, now that this debate is, also, planned.

[Cementjungle]

is teaming up with CNN to host a Republican presidential town hall

Good grief. Why even bother running, why don't they all just throw their support to Obama and quit pretending to care. Sheesh.

Ok, the debate list reads...

Rick -’VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I’M THE REAL ESTABLISHMENT CONSERVATIVE WHO LOST A SENATE ELECTION BUT CAN WIN A PRESIDENTIAL ONE’ - Santorum

Ron -WE PUSHED THEM TO ATTACK US’- Paul

Mitt -I SUPPORT ROMNEY CARE- Romney

Michelle -THERE ‘IS’ A CONCORD IN NEW HAMPSHIRE- Bachmann

Newt -I DIDN’T SAY THAT- Gingrich

Tim -VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I JUST WANNA BE PRESIDENT- Pawlenty

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference is teaming up with CNN...

WHY?!?!

An argument can be made to have partnerships with networks for the general election debates between both parties, but this is the Republican Party primaries, and the CNN agenda is not shared by conservative voters. CNN is out to embarrass conservatives so we will end up with another McCain.

Republicans need to supply conservative moderators who will ask pertinent questions, and if C-SPAN is the only network to cover it, so be it. It would be downloadable, and available to networks who wanted to re-run it.

Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer shouldn't have a hand in selecting Republican presidential candidates.

[Da Bilge Troll]

Well, I know at least one debate I will not be watching.

[Yaelle]

If our “party” had ANY balls, we would INSIST that our debates ONLY be moderated by conservatives. I mean, the Dems do not do debates moderated by Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh, so why should ours be moderated by the most liberal people on TV???? INSANE. SOMEBODY TAKE CHARGE FOR ONCE.

For those of you "shocked" that CNN is involved in this, remember that come Labor Day CNN and the Tea Party Express are having a GOP Presidential Debate in Tampa, FL.
