  • Dealt with it by bitching about the questions, then cancelling future debates with them? Seems like they're really showing strength there.

  • And now trying to make sure they only get asked nice questions in the future?

    Get some conservative moderators to do some democratic debates (although with the democrats they have rigged the system to not have a primary election but a Clinton coronation). When CNBC tells the RNC the debate will be focused on the economy and then liberal moderators go off on a tangent with ridiculous gotcha questions and questions to get one candidate to go after the other I don't blame the RNC at all for wanting some changes before going forward.

    This did make me chuckle (on subject of OP). Maybe he has a point?

    "Every one of these candidates says, 'Obama's weak, Putin's kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he's going to straighten out,'" Obama said during a democratic fundraiser in New York City.

    "And then it turns out, they can't handle a bunch of CNBC moderators," he said. "If you can't handle those guys, I don't think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you."

    such a good point. I mean that is spot fucking on. If they think some of these token Hispanics like Esperanza or Jose over at CN-this and that are tough customers, holy fucking shit. They are not ready to be POTUS. Putin will shit in every one of their mouths.

    You'll find me all in favour of that if you read my past posts. Asking softball questions leads to softball candidates. Ask tough questions and only those who can give tough answers will be left standing. There are far to many GOP candidates as it is clouding the field, you'd think they'd be happy for some of them to be weeded out with difficult questions.

    The destabilization in Iraq led to the Syrian civil war, how is that not clear to you by now?

    No it didn't. The middle east is the most unstable region on earth and always has been. It would have happened anyway. You might as well sat the Russian war in Afghanistan caused it.

    Well, you're right and wrong. The middle east in the 20th and 21st century is absolutely the most unstable place on earth, because of the vast foreign interests that constantly play around there. Of that there is no discussion. A bunch of those countries didn't even exist prior to ww1 and 2. Their borders were arbitrarily drawn by western interests without a skoche of deference to what were Shia or Sunni areas. So yeah that's basically setting a time bomb.

    But again, the uprising in Syria is a "direct" result of our bullshit in Iraq. Yes you can say there might have bee some other powder keg waiting to go off "somewhere" I the middle esat. But we're talking about Syria "SPECIFICALLY". That was because of the destabilization of Iraq.

    One thing's for sure - you're going to get shit thrown at you once the real race starts, better to get it brought up now.

    Did you know the whole Obama not being born in the United States or that he is a Muslim (Okay I have some reservations he might be) but all this started with the Hillary Clinton 08 campaign when she was up against Obama? It was out of her own campaign these charges originated.

    I did, yes. Though, it wasn't really her that started it, and it mostly revolved around birthplace. To which the republicans presumably said "hold on folks, if he's not eligible to run for office then our due diligence checks will highlight that fact and we'll know for certain well before he takes office" right?

  • The moderation of the CNBC debate was pretty bad, but I don't think the GOP is giving themselves a good image by the way they're handling it.

    Now Trump is personally negotiating the next one? They should have called them out and left it at that, I didn't expect it to become this huge issue.

    Haha of course you do.

    I'd bet on no affiliation at all over Muslim

    There is no denying Obama had huge Muslim influences in his life. As for his Christian influences he went to a church led by Pastor Jeremiah Wright who taught a black liberation theology which is not the true gospel. Obama's claims he didn't really know what Wright was teaching was ludicrous in that he went to that church for 20 years and considered Wright a mentor. He knew what Rev. Wright was all about.

  • I've had huge Christian influences in my life. What's your point?

  • One of the popular GOP candidates round here is part of a religion that has had some controversies in the past...And they have non-orthodox views of the trinity which many Christians would say is "not true gospel"....

  • I've had huge Christian influences in my life. What's your point?

    @mld-woody said:

    My point is what I said earlier about concerns that Obama is a Muslim. I posted an article with the Muslim influences in his life as well as statements he himself has made. To balance that the Church he attended teaches black liberation theology and honors someone like a hateful radical anti Semite like Louis Farrakahn. There are red flags all over this.

    That Obama would claim to be a Christian to get elected does not surprise me because until recently he strongly proclaimed marriage was between a man and a woman until he "evolved" on the subject. Does anyone really believe that? He was always for gay marriage but the political winds had to change before he would take that position.

  • If he was "always' for gay marriage that wouldn't make him a very good mooslim would it? cause we all know mooslims want to throw fags off tall buildings. For fun

    Probably not but if there are weren't any gay Muslims there wouldn't be any tossed from the buildings in the first place.
