Do you have her e-mail address re my last post. It seems Mark Strauss has been used by CNN before.
Well most anti-gun people are tossers! (UK slang term)
This is absolutely unreal. And a total outrage. The debate a complete sham with CNN packing it with activist leftists in disguise. Fraud.
Thanks to all those exposing this. Conservatives need to raise h*ll about this or the media will just cover it up.
Naivete, thy name is Free Republic.
Republicans should decline any further debates on CNN- period.
I think they can find something better to do. A strong statement condemning CNN for journalistic fraud by the RNC would be a good start.
If anything, the contrast with the Democrat candidates who are too cowardly to debate on Fox is one which should be driven home.
I did not see the whole debate, quite frankly it was so apparent the questions were rigged to fit the template CNN had of republicans. Not one universal healthcare question?
There were three homosexual question, an are you a racist question with regards to the stars and bars. (does senator bird get that question?)
Anderson Cooper may be an out homosexual but there is no way he did not know ALL those questions were plants.
The only thing “open” about the youtube debate is the openly manipulated to favor the left.
Folks, the dinosaur media is NOT DEAD they have manipulation down to a fine art and every question transmitted the agenda. Republicans are racist (why don’t black people vote for republicans? stars and bars question), homophobes (homosexuals in the military, marriage etc.), social program mean (will not spend money on social programs), wrong priorities (will go to mars but will not spend money to have carbon offsets), and don’t care about healthcare (because there were no healthcare questions)
CNN is pure slime and the republicans should be chastised for participating in that joke.
The gun control question to Duncan Hunter is interesting.
Would a “lifelong member of the NRA” handle a weapon like he did?
The questioner identified himself as Jay Fox of Boulevard, CA.
CNN is an in-kind contribution to the Democrat Party.

Actually--you're right about that, Crip. That's an astute observation that had been somehow inchoate in my mind. And now that the plants have been exposed, the Republicans and their responses shine even more brightly.
In the future, maybe they'll expose the Democrat plants when they ask their questions. Rush Limbaugh does that sort of thing all the time.
Democrat plants or not, they had a right to ask questions of the GOP Presidential hopefuls. I think all of the candidates handled themselves very well.
The real issue is the role of CNN and Cooper. Personally, I think that they totally mocked the presidency right from the beginning with that hillbilly guitarist, and then ending it with a slam against VP Cheney.
Dick Cheney has served this country for more than 30 years, and served it well.
If I’d been a Presidential candidate, I would have walked off the stage in the beginning or at the very least put Anderson Cooper in his place at the end of the debate.
The role of the President of the United States is NOT a joke, but the way CNN handled that debate last night, you’d think they were taking resume’s for a Manager’s position at a beer parlor.
Shame on CNN for trying to make the GOP candidates look stupid and shame on the GOP for allowing/suggesting their Presidential candidates to take part in this charade.
I for one, would LOVE to have a crack at some of the Dems on live TV. Ask Hillary! about cattle futures, Vince Foster, and FBI files....for starters.

Vote tampering -
Letter to the Editor
Abilene Reporter-News (TX)
November 20, 2004
I kept asking myself how Bush was re-elected when polls say Americans are dissatisfied with a number of things he did. I found out recently why.
Blackboxvoting.org on Nov. 7 reported that security and tamperability of voting polls was not tested but that those in charge signed off and certified the report anyway.
What possessed them?
Such little things as lip gloss have to withstand rigorous testing, but the system used to decide the president doesn’t?
Wired News says, ‘’A glitch in Ohio caused a memory card reader ... to give George W. Bush 3,893 more votes than he should have received. Another was a problem with memory cards ... that caused machines to lose 4,500 votes cast ... The votes were lost when the number of votes cast on the machines exceeded the capacity of the memory cards .... Reports from voters in Florida and Ohio indicated that some of them had problems voting for the candidate of their choice. When they tried to vote for John Kerry ... the machine either wouldn’t register the vote at all or would indicate that the vote was cast for Bush instead.’’
If these are only a portion of the problems, what does that mean to the total number of votes?
Visit http://radtimes.blogspot.com for a list of actions you can take. We need our rights back. We need our country back. And we will never get this with Bush as a president.
Hope is still on the way. Let’s get it here faster.

Whose laws? -
Letter to the Editor
Abilene Reporter-News (TX)
March 31, 2005
Edith Hines wrote in her March 12 letter that ‘’our legal system 1/8gets3/8 the basis for all our laws 1/8 ... 3/8 from God’s Ten Commandments.’’Well, clearly this must be true. I mean, some of the commandments include ‘’Thou Shalt Not Steal,’’ ‘’Thou Shalt Not Murder,’’ etc. And, why, looking at the United States’ laws, there are some just like that! It must have a definite connection.
Only not.
The Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11, stated that ‘’...the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion...’’
Not to mention all the other countries that have laws against stealing and murder. China? Japan? Just two examples. Not only were these two countries not founded on Christianity, but Christians are the minority. And yet Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. A ‘’godless’’ country? Good? Oh, how shocking!

I have no problem with the idea of members of the opposition party asking the candidates questions. However they should be identified as such, not pawned off as “undecided” voters.
It sends the message to the more politically naive that these are the questions that “Republicans just like me” are asking elsewhere. The practice is unmitigated fraud with a purpose.
Again, I do not object to the questions being ‘too hard’ or somesuch nonsense, but to the source being blatantly misrepresented by CNN. The liberal networks do this all the time, i.e. putting on left wing activists on a variety of issues to comment on the news and passing them off as everyday Janes and Joes.
CNN is nothing more than a disgrace to journalism, a liberal laughingstock, and a pawn of Satan - foolishly attempting to do his bidding on the earth.
We're 100% in agreement, there.
One of my pet peeves with the MSM is to take the fringe and make it look mainstream. For instance, if you watch any reality TV show for 5 minutes it's painfully obvious that the people on them are scripted cartoonish stereotypes. However, to someone a little less perceptive, (or uncaring, or bluntly...stupid) the shows are just that....reality. "Jeez, people have horrendous personal drama ALL the time! And every 3rd person in the world is a politically acceptable minority, or gay! And everyone in the world is 20-something, and has nothing better to do but sit arond and drink Starbucks! And all Republicans are bigoted hatemongers (I actually heard that one recently) and all corporations (except politically acceptable ones) are evil. And...etc etc" Thus the slide of society goes...
So, all ranting aside, I guess that I think that the content of the questions was fine, but not their misrepresentation. Hope that this story gets some legs.
I don’t expect the media to care about this.
What I do expect is every Republican running for President to use their bullhorns to shout from the rooftops that they were screwed over and lied to by CNN. I want to see outrage, anger, and invective.
As my teenage students would write: WTF?
