They were chosen on August 5th.

I stand corrected. Then the debate commission and McCain’s camp were extremely derelict.

I just drove three miles down the main street near my home in Southern California and didn’t see ONE white person. The signs are in Spanish and Asian, the people are dressed Muslim garp and other “traditional” clothing.

I wish there was a way I could show you all a video of what is coming to a city near you soon. Not ONE white person… for miles, and the most run down buildings you could imagine. Like a third world country. You might think you were in Tijuana.

Conservatives are doomed.

Forget members of the media who, like Ifill, have an obvious conflict of interest. And no, no matter how “professional” she or any of her synchophantic fellow members of the media claim she will be, my take on human nature is that she will definitely be biased. Not only because she is extremely liberal (she works for PBS!), but because she has a book pending with the name of the Democrat presidential candidate appearing in the title. Hello? Stuck on stupid, anyone?

My question is why have any members of the media be the moderators of these debates?

Are they the only ones deemed qualified to ask questions of political candidates? To that I say Humbug!

Members of the media already have the ability to shape perspective on the candidates through TV and the press, so why do they get the additional opportunity to pile on with their biased point of view during these debates?

We know they perceive the interviews they conduct and debate moderator duties as opportunities to show off for their fellow “urinalists.” The more they browbeat the Republican candidate during one of these farces, the more atta boy/girl responses they get from their fellow travelers, other members of the media. How many bouquets of flowers did Couric receive after her hatchet job on Palin? Answer: too many to count.

So my idea would be to have people other than the media pricks moderate these debates. People who, unlike urinalists, have nothing to gain professionally by being in that position. People who, unlike urinalists, might actually pay a price if they exhibited the liberal bias that the media has consistently demonstrated or as an alternative, a conservative bias, in a position that is supposed to be neutral.

Media people as a group aren’t very bright. Surely we could do better in finding knowledgable people qualified as moderators, who can maintain the standards of impartiality that should be a prerequisite for the position.

Shame on us for not insisting on it and for letting the status quo go unchallenged.

I’m going to do something I haven’t done in a very long time tonight. I’m going to pray for Sarah. I normally say a prayer for my family, but it’s been a long time since I’ve God’s grace upon Mr. Bush and our leaders. I pray that Sarah has an inner peace and the forces of evil (which I perceive to be real) be killed tonight.

Amen.

Ethics Commission? They wouldn’t know “ethics” if it dropped in their lap. They would clear Pol Pot of any wrong-doing.

I don’t believe the moderators were selected weeks ago.

I still don’t understand why this is a story now as opposed to weeks ago? Don’t get me wrong, I think she has no business moderating the debate and can’t stand Ifill anyway because of Imus but the book was public knowledge for two months. It was in Time Magazine, the Washington Times, NY Post and hundreds of mainstream news websites. Why didn’t anyone complain until now?

I don’t believe the moderators were selected weeks ago.
