“CBS’ treatment of Congressman Ron Paul is disgraceful,” says the Texas lawmaker’s spokesman Jesse Benton, who noted that Mr. Paul only garnered 90 seconds of face time during the televised hour of the national security and foreign policy debate, which moved online for its last 30 minutes.
“If we are to have an authentic national conversation on issues such as security and defense, we can and must do better to ensure that all voices are heard. CBS News, in their arrogance, may think they can choose the next president."

How can this guy complain about CBS when you have every SOB in the GOP establishment shoving Romney down our throats? He should be complaining about the RINOs relentlessly attacking conservative candidates while trying to fulfill their insane Romney prophecy.
Michele Bachmann certainly has a case. She is after all a member of the House permanent select committee on intelligence. In an honest world, that alone would carry considerable weight in a foreign policy debate.
It was probably to Ron Paul’s benefit NOT to get a lot of face time in a debate on national security and foreign policy.
i’m not voting for romney.
if he’s the candidate, i’ll write in cain.
Base on that dick head scott Pelley’s treatement of her during the “debate”, one could certainly believe otherwise.
Interrupting SOB should have been canned after that performance. I’ll bet he got more than Ron Paul’s 90 seconds.
Bachmann tried, but the idiot moderator saw it coming and didn’t allow her to respond.
If time were apportioned based upon likelihood of being the GOP nominee Ron Paul wouldn't even be on the stage.
Yeah, I know very few like Michele around here, but I do. I thought she did pretty well, even though she did get cut off. The media seems to have successfully branded her as “flake”. Cain now has “sex offender”. Perry is “clueless”. Romney will never get a brand till the general. Still waiting for the Newt branding to solidify.
“i’ll write in cain.”
In lowercase, of course.
Some of us have been examining these candidates for quite a while, so we know how each of the RINOs stack up against conservatism. Newt, Perry, Cain, Romney are all out of the question. Bachmann might sound like a conservative, but she has not given me any indication that she would advocate for major change. And her speachifying is nearly as grating as that of Obama.
"A ONE TERM PRESIDENT!!!!!" gets old in a hurry.
Why should an anti-American get any time at all on a Republican debate? He is no more Republican than the king.
CBS's idea of fair is a lot like the fairness of the progress tax code.
8 candidates over 90 minutes gives 11 min Q/A time per candidate. That would be the flat tax idea of fair.
