I find his performance unconvincing – even with John Roberts trying to help him cover his ass (so to speak). He is on Sen. Clinton’s LGBT Steering Committee. He is Co-Chairman of her Committee on Veterans and Military Retirees. He submitted a video question and then asked one in person at the debate. No, he’s not working for her at all – not by any stretch of the imagination. Puh-leeze.

I marvel at the ability of some to use sophistry to hide from reality.

PRIMARIES, not general elections. ugh

THOUSANDS of videos submitted. 40 or so flown to the debate, two get a mic, he is one of them.

Hmmm, wow, what an amazing coincidence. Wow…. ugh

Clinton has taken her habit of placed questions to a new level… NOW will you join me in calling CNN the CLINTON news Network?

I marvel at someone’s contempt for common meaning in the English language.

You’re right, my complaint isn’t bias. It’s the utter lack of decency of the people who booed. Because those people? Those people are the reason those (mostly) contemptible people were up on stage.

Here’s a bit from the Washington Times:

“Retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, who asked a question about gays in the military, was named to the leadership team of LGBT American for Hillary this summer, according to an article in the Advocate that was posted June 27 at gay.com.”

He works for Sen. Clinton. He may not be getting paid by her campaign, but he works for her.

I have to marvel at CNN’s apparent incompetence. Have they not heard of Google?

As for your complaint about the bias of the audience, so what? They weren’t the ones putting on the debate. It’s the bias of the people who actually pick the questions and run the debate that actually matters.

But yeah, it would be ideal that there be no existing affiliation (tho’ I’m not sure how realistic that would be) by questioners. That said, it’s got nothing to do with the substance of the matter (or the answers). Truly, that was one of the more appalling sections of last night’s debate.

Yes, the thing to note there was that, and not the fact that the audience booed a retired general for advocating equality in the armed forces.

Bias, indeed.

But really, I could ask a question about student loan subsidies, and Guiliani would tell me about 9/11, Huckabee would tell me about the Bible, and Tancredo would point to the brown guy behind me and yell “Alien!”

Anyone hear anything about healthcare? Mortgage crisis? Education? What any of them think about the plummeting dollar?

Nah, just more killin’ and scary brown people.

Oh, and crosses. They love crosses.

I have to say that John McCain sounded like the only sane one up there.

NO TAXES …
attack government
attack “aliens”
attack Social Security
attack anyone who is a little different
attack public schools

Still waiting for the “divisive questions, controversial questions, and questions that will set the candidates apart.”

Still, an interesting discussion of what Republicans really believe. My gut tells me the GOP is out of step with ordinary Americans and the things I’ve seen tonight reinforce that thought.
