“Why use ‘despicable,’ clueless left-wing media to moderate GOP debates?”

I’ve been asking that for quite sometime, moreso this year than ever before; and, I’ve kind of written it off to the GOP elites as the cause because there truly isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between the GOP elites(moderates/liberals) and democrats.

I agree Left-wing, Press, Is Biased, and wants to promote Obama only as a positive for themselves.

They need to hold a debate which is a rehearsal for debating Obama i.e. allow each in turn to go after some guy in a clown suit representing Obama and let the audience judge who did the best job on the clown.

Question: "Why use ‘despicable,’ clueless left-wing media to moderate GOP debates?"

Response: A good question?

Comment: I watched CNN's after the debate "analysis." They were visibly shaken by the audience reaction to Newts response.

I’ve been asking that question for many years! I’m for allowing all political ideologies to be involved in all parts of all future debates for POTUS and for VPOTUS: Democrat debates, Republican debates, and Third Political Parties/Independent debates, during the primary season and during the general election season! Nobody is off limits, and be as flexible as one can be with all debate formats, from now on. I’m, still, waiting for the day that Rush Limbaugh is allowed to ask questions, in future debates, involving Democratic candidates for POTUS!

Newt should of answered the audience question regarding - illegals taking US jobs -instead of letting CNN/King ignore it

from article

CNN allowed one voter in the audience to ask a question. She simply wondered what each candidate would do to make sure that all the illegal aliens flooding the country would not take the jobs of actual legal Americans.

Superb question. But CNN cut her mic, and Mr. King tossed her question aside to ask his own idiotic, canned question about immigration rendered the same canned answers we have heard a hundred times before.

I heard that last nights debate was the last one at least through Super Tuesday in March.

"why Republicans keep allowing the various Communist, leftist and otherwise anti-American TV networks to host GOP debates."

I wouldn't mind it so much if there was turnabout fairplay and conservatives could moderate the Democrat debates. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that or for Hell to freeze over.

The stupid party is stuck on stupid.

The campaign issues are framed by the Left. The assumption is made that THESE are the top issues because liberal fa**ots at anchor desks talk about them.

WHY!!???!!...... because republicans and democrats are the same animal.... the conservatives are considered an anomoly that must be first placated then eradicated.... time to eradicate the squishy moderates from the party, or leave it altogether... choice is yours to make ( I have already made mine, and this election is the breaking point )

Having watched some of the highlights of the recent debates, it’s clear to me the reason why Newt is doing well is that he’s addressing the moderator not as a moderator but as some liberal that he’s debating with.

He doesn’t answer the questions, he challenges the questions and the premise of those questions. Which is why he’s doing so well.
