COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. John Spratt will debate his Republican challenger Mick Mulvaney on Tuesday, but the only people who will get to see any of it have already bought tickets to the sold out dinner at a South Carolina Lions Club.

Now, I don’t know how smart this was for the pub to agree with this format, but if this is the way they are going to run the Hill if they win in November with this bipartiship crap again ...WE ARE so SCREWED! This is insanely gullible!

If voters accept this affront, then they deserve what they get.

The elites want your voluntary servitude, are you willing to give?

What would be the odds of attendees being frisked to make sure that didn’t happen?

There is the little jewel I ran across today though:

I would have never agreed to that condition because Spratt is a typical lying and deceitful southern democrat. I am from SC and have never cared for the fat fraud.

Mulvaney get a debate and Spratt loses by default because of his no-cameras request.

Mulvaney is likely to win the race and doesn't really need a televised debate.

This is a Heaven sent campaign add for Mulvaney. “Don’t throw me into that brier patch”

Mulvaney will get more play from Spratt’s idiocy than he would have from a televised debate.

They found the solution for the public seeing outraged people at political events this Fall. CENSORSHIP.

The little weasel Graham started this censorship earlier, must be spreading.

Way to go Lesley.

Video is on YouTube after someone smuggled in a camera.

I'm watching it now and Mulvaney is basically dominating. Spratt is sickly and old, and I can't help but wonder if he was begged to run for re-election this time. It's no wonder he didn't want the debate recorded.
