Republicans complaining because a Democrats question got asked

[Bitwit1234]

Answer me this question. Did they ask the political party of the people who submitted the questions for the Democrats. I think the republican people in this country were allowed to ask questions.

Well CNN selected a question about the "Don't ask don't tell" situation in the military submitted by a retired Colonel. This colonel is a member of the Clinton campaign for Lesbians and Gays. Now I don't understand why this is SUCH A BIG DAMN controversy. I am sure some of the hard questions they threw at the Democrats were submitted by republicans.

So again we are supposed to have two sets of rules, GIVE THE REPUBLICANS A FREE PASS, but get tough with Democrats. Damn CNN and republican slime pits all over again.

1. Piglicons are whiners on top of being greedy murdering thieves.

[Time for change]

2. We even have Republicans (like Tim Russert) MODERATING the Democratic debates

Not only that, but filling them with Republican talking points.

Anyone who would complain about a single question from a Democrat is a whiny spoiled fool.

3. CNN are the slimiest scums next to FAUX. The debate with Wolf Blitzer was the worse.

7. I suggest see the Nation's Eric ALterman's

review of the Vegas debate in the Nation two issues ago. Excellant how GOP gotcha questions were planted by Blitzer.

9. I did read it! Thank you anyway for the thought.

I only wish that Alterman's article had been brought to the media's attention. It was a terrific article.

4. previous Republican debate question: "How bad is Hillary's position..."

Democratic debate question: "How much do you disagree with Hillary Clinton ..."

So, you get a real question through that isn't an attack on a Dem ... and they scream like a stuck pig ...

5. They think there was just one? Silly Republicans.

David McMillan, who asked the old white men why Black people don't vote for them, is most certainly not a Republican.

6. So they are suggesting they would only represent Republicans if elected???

I think whichever Republican complained is in for a a bit of discomfort over this...

8. They've been so use to it over the last several years.

That they've forgotten that a President is suppose to represent everyone

12. The RNC had no influence on the debate videos last night?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=103&topic_id=323565&mesg_id=323565

So as I understand it the “perception is reality” crowd didn’t have anything to do with which videos got into the debate last night?

Grover Norquist, who has an alarming amount of access already (both in quantity and in the fact that HE has access), somehow squeaks through the screening process but all these “plants” were out of the RNC control?

And yet they have Bill Bennett receiving emails on the air, post debate about Hillary plants and Malkin has a fist full of evidence about this evil conspiracy as soon as the debate ends and all of this is an accident?

Does this make for yet more perfect cover of not talking about their candidates, even after their debate, and just continuing their national campaign against Hillary, and all other Dems for good measure, or is it just me?

I realize that we and the RW talk radio crowd (basically news junkies) are the only people who care about this (from the headlines that I have seen) but I find all this way too convenient.

They may not be sound, they may not be reasoned, they may have nothing in the human experience to back them up, but they are very well funded and organized like you and I won’t believe until the bunker and tunnels are taken apart.

13. It may come as a shock to some of them but Democrats are ...

Americans too. These people get a little taste of power and now they seem to think they own the country and can do what ever they want. Why do they hate Americans?

15. One word

obfuscation. The question floored them. The credentials of the retired Gen. scared them. Attack the messenger. Nothing new here.
