I am just so sick of Republicans always agreeing to hobble themselves in some way to try to appease the left. Agreeing to allow Chris Matthews to moderate the debate? Insanity.

Yeah what was that all about. Chris Mathews is insane himself. The man is a total enemy of all on the stage and they ask him to moderate? Why didnt they ask Eleonor Clift? hell: Why not go all the way and ask Howard Dean?

[Just mythoughts]

Matthews is media representative of who runs the peoples house and the senate as of last November. I really do not have a problem observing how a “conservative” candidate responds to a flaming liberal.

I just am not sure that anyone other than FR and political strategists were even paying attention.

Actually, having Howling Dean would be a great idea as a moderataor. It would/should provide a stark difference between Dean/dims and conservatives. Anyone who would try to appease the moderator would be revealed as one of “them”. We need to skip the notion of an independent moderator. Bring on the moonbats as moderators so that the general public can see the difference and see the Stalinists for who they are.
