Responsible journalism is all but dead in the MSM. It is just another arm of a democratic party which has been totally hijacked by the likes of George Soros, the Shadow Party and other American hating vermin.

P.S. Someone should tell the 85 year old Soros that he can't by his own utopian heaven no matter how many national economies he destroys and how much money he has.

Go to hell Georgie boy!

With what Georgie did to his own people back in WWII, I believe that he will have a nice, long pleasant stay in the ol' furnace.

The candidates ought to bring their own questions to the debate. When asked about gay marriage, they should respond, "There you go again. Your question is too trivial to dignify with an answer. I'm going to talk about jobs, jobs, jobs, and drill, drill, drill."

There is an arrogance to the liberal MSM. It is a false belief in liberal superiority which itselfs masks their inferiority. This is, in part, the exact same problem of, and with, Islam.

On one hand their questioning betrays their belief in their own superiority, which itself is designed to protect themselves from seeing their true inferior self, but on the other hand said questioning helps them influence the final outcome.

By putting themselves in a position of power, that is superiority, they can control the situation, here the moderating, i.e. the selecting process. It comes across to them as duty to cheat the more conservative, and help the more liberal in order to ensure control, and they need to ensure control to protect their fragile illusion of superiority or they risk seeing their own inferiority.

This psycho-socio play is extremely dangerous. When one compares the America that has materialized because of liberals and their mindset, itself born out of this inferior/superior game, born BTW, out of their failure to personally mature, to the outside world, America is paying a fast and furious price. We are going down.

Clearly in this election cycle, there is the extra reality, of the high probability, that their guy Barac is one and done. This elicits desperation, and they must here, more than usual, cull the most liberal candidate from the republican pack, and one venue to accomplish this is moderating republican debates.

In Iowa, the most conservative candidate of all,, Michelle Backmann, was the first casualty of this liberal MSM, moderator attack. Further, it was the republican voters themselves, not the democrats, who bought, hook, line and sinker, this show choreographed by liberals, as demonstrated by the lack of faith vote for Michelle.

Personally I stopped veiwing and listening to the Liberal MSM years ago. They have an agenda that protects each and everyone of them from seeing their own failure to mature. They are so afraid of wittnessing this failure, which includes their inferiority complex, that they will bring America down before they ever are willing to wittness their own failure.

Nobama 2012, vote republican. Thank you.

Where is the Republican National Committee in this? Why don't they demand some say in who is picked as a "moderator?" Or maybe the networks threaten to not televise the debates unless they get to control the agenda--probably a more logical answer.

A major part of the problem with many of the GOP candidates is that they actually believe in much of liberalism's social philosophy (welfare, small military, large government, etc). Many of these people are wealthy elites who just want to be liked and, like McCain, want to reach across the aisle and work "for" them...and then get praised. The Left will NOT, and does NOT, compromise on anything that cuts into their demands; the GOPers will.

Second, the GOP candidates seem to have a very difficult time calling a spade a spade. The Left is VERY good at words and twisting things to fit their philosophy; the Republicans, in far too many cases seem unable to express themselves and explain their position which leads me to think that they don't really know what they believe or are unsure their belief is correct and doable.

I think they need to do some very deep soul searching and find the answers and then practice explaining to people what they really do believe.

Why is the GOP putting up with this? Because it's too weak? Too stupid? Because it has to take what it can get and shut up?

Listen folks, these things happen for a reason. It's only logic to assume the GOP supports this. The GOP wants it this way. Why?

I'm sure it's not a deep secret. Lots of people know. They're just not talking.

Here's an hypothesis. The GOP leadership isn't conservative. It's liberal.

The liberals own the networks, they own the liberal MSM, they are in controll. We need rich conservatives to start a conservative network.

This would solve numerous problems. For starters we do not need liberal viewership, they just squak and complain louder and louder the more conservative a candidate is. Further, republicans should not have liberal bias running interferrence on voter judgement or choice of republican candidates.

These debates are designed by liberals to help liberals and limit conservatives. IMHO, we conservative republicans just don`t need the debates.

Nobama 2012, vote republican. Thank you.

PDK is right. There are no options for the debates except on liberal networks. Fox News, you say? Brett Baier and crowd are not much better than ABC and the rest when it comes to questioning the candidates. Their questions are just as inane and many times, they openly make fun of the candidates, belittling them from their conceited seats on high.

I agree with Davey Crockett when he says: "The GOP leadership isn't conservative. It's liberal."

While I'm not a Romney fan, it doesn't make sense to me that the other candidates slam him because of business decisions he made while with Bain Capital. Why is it that many Americans feel as if a company is created just to employ people? Think if you had a business that was struggling and you had to lay people off in order to keep the business running and profitable. This is what people are criticizing Romney for. What bullcrap. They're all useless.
