GOP Debate
Did I see that right? At the GOP debate tonight, did Chris Matthews ask them “Would it would be good for America for Bill Clinton to be back in the White House?”
That’s what we’re asking potential candidates for the 2008 elections?
Really?
There were approximately 936 candidates at this debate. They had a limited amount of television time. With all the things in all the universe that could be useful for the American people to see answered, is romanticizing about Bill Clinton’s terms as President - which is actually poorly disguised campaigning for Hillary -really the best use of that time?
I’d love to chalk this one up to “liberal media” but that is only part of the reason this is stupid (Before you try to argue with me about it being, even partially, a liberal media thing, this is Chris frigging Matthews, they don’t get mush more liberal in mainstream media). The main reason this is stupid is because the media is made of idiots and morons who are insanely out of touch with what we, the people are interested in.

One thing I noticed this morning when David Gregory (the former White House Correspondent, currently filling in for Matt Lauer) was describing the debate, he used the phrase “Republican candidates, trying to look Presidential...”
But when he was describing the Dem debate (that they wouldn’t do in front of Fox reporters), he carefully omitted the “trying to” part…
Subtle stuff, but all too pervasive among the alphabet channels…
And the only question they played back on the news segment? The “How would you feel with Bill Clinton back in the White House?” one…
Nope, no bias there…

Was Chris Matthews wearing his I swallow Clinton’s dick t-shirt?
What is up with the whole Fox news shit? I don’t watch the cable news unless MAJOR shit is going down so I don;t get the libitards problem. They don’t get a free pass and they don’t like that?

Forget the debates. I want to see each candidate from both parties on “Are you smarter than a 5th grader”.
That should be the whole debate system. I bet 95% aren’t!

Perfect. :) Of course, if I’m being honest, I never get all the questions right either. I think the best I’ve done is around $175,000.

HA!LOL!! I’d love to see it too. But a show testing basic intelligence hosted by a Redneck on Fox? Yea, that’ll happen. It would be fun to listen to the bs excuses from the dims on why they wouldn’t show up though.

I watched the debate, and it sounded to me like just about every question was carefully crafted to allow the media use the answers to beat either some Republican or the entire Republican party over the head later. Except for the questions from Politico.com, which sounds like they were designed by a committee of complete fucktards (well, they were allegedly taken from the Internet, so I guess they were).
