The debate format and commentators are themselves another battle front.
Why should conservatives hand over their microphone and message to the leftists in the MSM who ask a bunch of stupid questions and not only make themselves look stupid, but more importantly silence the message of the conservative candidates who have the answers for America and instead make them also look stupid and marginalized?
I think the conservative candidates with their head screwed on straight should band together and demand ground rules that include conservative moderators and questions that go the heart of the issues that threaten our country's future. They should also widely publicize these demands to the American people and figure out their own live video debate if they can't get cooperation.
Great points.
First: Much too soon. The election is not for fourteen months. I actually read today about the “critical Fall runup” to the nomination. May 2012 and June 2012 are critical. This is absurd.
Second: Submitting to anal exam by enemedia - terrible idea.
Third: The voters’ willingness to be exposed to this sh*t more than a year before they have to decide is in doubt. One way for Zero to prevail is for the public (which has a five minute attention span) to get sick of whichever of the seven dwarves comes out on top.
Fourth: This canned, enemedia driven process favors the RINO with the most money.
