I hate to say it, but there would be still cries of foul from the candidates and their supporters even if Limbaugh et al were to moderate the republican debate.
good idea
Why is O’Malley shirtless?
My preferences: Krouthammer, Ingram, Levin, Sustren, maybe Malkin who may not have the chops, possibly Hannity if he doesn't over talk which is his tendency.
There is nothing wrong with asking fair and tough questions as long as they are presented in a fair and honest manner, and not preceded by personal attacks, gotchas, lies, etc.
Here are some of the previous debate questions, which are based on a dishonest manner.
- “What’s your biggest weakness?”
- “You want to bring 70,000 pages to three.. is that using really small type?”
- “Why not slow down, get a few more things done first or least finish what you start?”
- “Does your opposition to it show that you’re not the kind of problem-solver American voters want?”
- “Is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?”
- “When you look at him [another candidate], do you see someone with the moral authority to unite the country?”
- “I just wondered why you think we should hire you now?”
- “Why should the voters believe the promises that you’re telling them right now?”
- “..it raises the question whether you have the maturity and wisdom to lead this $17 trillion economy. What do you say?”
Here are some of the statements made to preface some of the questions:
- “You’ve been a young man in a hurry”
- “as you would of flying away from that podium by flapping your arms.”
- “the fact that you’re at the fifth lectern tonight shows how far your stock has fallen in this race”
And many other statements and questions were presented to get one candidate to specifically call out and demean another Republican candidate or other Republicans.
So, similarly, here are some “tough but fair” questions that need to be asked of some of the democrat candidates in their next debate.
- “Hillary, given the fact that you lied {quote her emails to her daughter and Egypt prime minister} at the Benghazi hearings, do you have the moral authority to lead anybody?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you sold out state department classified and top secret information for monetary gain, at what point in time will you be in jail for treason, before, during, or after, the election?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you set up your own email server which is a violation of federal law, should’t you be in jail right now?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you have violated 15 federal laws on the email server and Benghazi situation, shouldn’t you be sitting in jail right now?”
- “Bernie, you, an avowed socialist, and given the fact in the 20th century, close to 170 million people have been murdered by their own socialist governments, as president of the United States would you be murdering 30 million Americans or 50 million?”
And then turn to Hillary,
- “Hillary, your progressive agenda matches Bernie’s socialist agenda point by point. Since that also makes you a socialist and do you agree with Bernie on the 30-50 million deaths or do you foresee more?”
