Allow CNN to once again Frame a Republican debate from a Democrat perspective?

Only if they're gluttons for punishment.

All questions should be disclosed before any debate. Every important issue is already known to all candidates. Dumb questions shouldn't be asked anyway. What do toys from China have to do with the President of the United States?Also, people in the audience should never get to ask a question unless it's disclosed beforehand.

All important topics of the day should be discussed by candidates on both sides. So far, the Republicans are the only ones answering real questions unless you count the question about jewelry ask of Clinton. Of course, that will likely change after the primaries, but we can't even be sure of that.

Fox Business lets one guy with a hidden agenda remark on the economy - and that network is "done" for being dishonest.

CNN hijacks GOP debates with enemy operatives, presents them as "random undecided Republican voters," lies about it when Bill Bennett confronts them, waits for Michelle Malkin to bust them, and forces Cooper to give a half-hearted apology. And libs say they're brilliant for pulling it off.

No, this will not hurt CNN among their faithful viewers. Lefties think Republicans deserve whatever they get and will not care how many times CNN lies.

In light of this fraudulent activity, I think that these debates should be conducted by an independent organization. And this organization is intentionally and unquestionably balanced and only network cameras allowed to broadcast the debate. Also the networks or others covering the debate are not allowed to make commentary afterwards of before the debate. Let the American people make up their own minds from what the candidates answers. Their has been too much network manipulation and "I'll tell you what to think", commentary afterwards. I am sick of this network manipulation and corruption.

Correct Noel. CNN and MSNBC should not be allowed to host any Republican or Presidential debates. YouTube should never, ever be part of any debate. This system is rife with collusion and was nothing but attempted sabotage of political candidates on a televised debate. I have never witnessed such a spectacle in my life, as what I saw last night.
 

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

I'm not sure why we should be surprised. I mean, the Press has been absolutely stacked with Democrat supporters for years now. This is just a natural extension of that...

The planted questioners were a disgrace to journalism, but the group of 24 'undecided Republican voters' bordered on criminal fraud. The first one questioned said she was going to vote for Edwards, the next one didn't know how to pronounce Guiliani's name and the third didn't know the names of any of the candidates. I would really like to know where they got this herd of morons from.

I would like to address something which no one seems to be linking and that there is no way these people showed up FROM HILLARY CLINTON.
I will repeat that. Hillary Clinton is not that stupid nor is Bill Clinton this stupid to be spouting off about the Iraq war.
This all reminds me of Richard III which was Shakespeare's case study of a murderous egomaniac who in almost gaining the perpetual prize of rule.......all of a sudden meets his end as all betray him.
Here am I no fan of Hillary Clinton, but the case study in this is fascinating, because these plants are showing up along with Bill Clinton to sink her campaign. The only people who have this kind of power to engage the MSM to make these stories issues and plant people are the Rockefeller cartel who the Clinton's worked for.
I have alerted people here months ago now that a coup was underway to keep Hillary from the nomination, so a weakened ticket will emerge and Al Gore is supposed to come in at the convention and gobble up the super electors.
There is no way this could happen on it's own and there is no way that CNN just let this happen without checking sources when these people are so obvious a 5 year old doing a search could find them. These plants were obvious to be found and to bring more ruin on the Hillary campaign.
In knowing how these things work on the inside, it is a positive now that there are photos of Bill Clinton sexing up blondes and by Hillary taking these massive punches my guess is there are videos (plural) of her having lezbo encounters. If this was the cowboys doing this she would go on the attack, but this is the old regime of globalists she works for from the Rose Law Firm days when she was running money with Vince Foster and Webb Hubble using the PROMIS software for the CIA.
Bill has "agreed" to send Hillary down the drain for what has to be a "world leadership" position in the sort of what Tony Blair is dancing around in the Middle East now in exchange for his legacy.
Hillary has probably been told the cartel will make certain she is not in prison over her crimes if she shuts up.
I highly doubt when this is over that Hillary will continue in the Senate. She hates work and she hates being even 1 of 100. She will probably fade away in knowing the JFK and Nixon alternatives.
I almost feel sorry for Hillary as she is not even like Richard screaming, My kingdom for a horse. She has been a venomous dangerous creature and to watch her defanged and slapped around by the masters of the game......well it gives one pause.
To answer Mr. Sheppard's question if CNN should sponsor any more debates? Most certainly as if they don't some other shill will do it with the same results. CNN and the entire media are corrupt and managed by the cartel. If one stops figuring they are ever going to get a fair shake from them and starts watching it as the beautiful orchestrated theater it is........one soon enjoys the play and appreciates how very adept the Rockefeller cartel members are at destroying anyone who they choose.
Think of it, Hillary the blackmailer, she know where the murders occurred, she ruined people's lives, she is pure globalist CIA ilk, she was chosen to help bring down Nixon.........and in this act she has become Richard III receiving the very measure she implemented.
She has no friends as all view her as Lady MacBeth.........I told people this is going to be most enjoyable to watch and it is only going to be more interesting as 2008 goes into gear.

The only thing I find shocking about this sordid mess is that CNN thinks we're so stupid we'd never find out about it.  It seems every day they forget that we have access to the Internet and blogs.

They either think we're stupid, or that they are above reproach.

You cannot buy back credibility.  Not that they ever had much with me, but I'm sure many Americans see CNN in a much different light today.

CNN is Communist Comedy Central as far as I am concerned....Clinton News Network is done after last night, they made a laughingstock of themselves within minutes...in the aftermath now it is being proved! I love it myself...you earn respect...CNN will never have that for years...or a mighty big change mighty fast...adn that won't happen anytime soon! I am still chucklin' about all of this...Bill Bennett proved my point within minutes after the debate between me and my husband that most of this was all a set-up ...again! The republicans had better smarten up when it comes to situations like this or the disgusting debate that Matthews/Politco had...I hope they have wizened up and make some demands or refuse to be on these networks with these obvious biases...pick and choose with care from here on out, look what has happened the so-called phony debate is the topic instead of any substance from any of the candidates. Pathetic really....

Noel...

Do you know of a link whereby I can watch the whole debate in it's entirety?

Everytime I find something it's only partial clips.

No.

May I also point out for the Gay Clinton General plant.  It was Bill Clinton who instituted that policy.  It is a bad policy and needs to go.   

Come down on one side or the other with a decision to allow the military to move on and do its job. "Don’t ask Don’t Tell" is a typical Liberal “Answer with no Clear Policy” ploy.

The only thing you should feel when shooting insurgents is the rifle recoil.

Of course CNN and their little goofy moderator/reporter Anderson knew the questions beforehand and selected the ones we heard. Anderson's "whoopsie" is preposterous. There's too much democrat money and power riding on this election for them to allow CNN to chose random questions.

CNN=trained seals for the Clinton Express.

CNN loves this (though Anderson Cooper is probably a little hot today about being the dupe).  CNN selects the dopey questions and questioners, and the CNN on-air personalities are saved the embarrassment of asking idiotic questions.

Unfortunately, I suspect these entertainment spectacles that CNN calls “debates” get higher ratings than real, substantive debates.  I miss presidential debates where zany audience participation is not a factor.

I think the most important part of this story is that we are all talking about it. The MSM used to be able to get away with this, but no longer. God only knows how many times things like this happened without our knowledge prior to the New Media. The libs are still living in their old world.

Can't all of you see how fair and impartial CNN was by looking at the two debates???? I mean, heck, they let democrat plants fill up the audience and question line in BOTH debates! (/sarc off) PS: Of course if anyone questions them and their vetting process, they will simply do as many other (pseudo-)journalists (pointed out here at NB) have done..."We weren't able to find any Republicans..."

Q. Do you believe every word in the Bible ?

A. Every Goddam one !

Yes, I think there should one more Democrat debate where Hillary is the only one present and she can debate herself on the Iraq war.

Especially the last comment about Hillary debating herself.  I lol'ed.

Here's my take on the debate: (FWIW)

It is now well-established that the MSM will play left-ball at every opportunity.  This is not a bad thing, but a good thing.  Intelligent and informed Americans will know the difference between fluff and conviction.  And the candidates by and large stood up and answered the questions.  (Although they didn't question CNN at all...only the Great Great Bill Bennett did that and he had the most to lose, like his job.) 

The Dems are setting themselves up for failure by attempting to hide their true beliefs about issues such as illegal immigration, taxes, the size of government, and the war on terror.  The winner of the GOP primary will be able to expose their beliefs, if he is strong enough mentally to do so. 

However, I am worried that the GOP lets Rush, talk radio, Fox News, and the blogosphere carry its water for them.  I'm concerned that the GOP leadership, including the candidate for president, won't step up and pound away at the fatal flaws of the far left. 

All in all, it was a good night for the GOP, I thought.
