The republican candidates are going rogue? Even going so far as not including the actual heads of the own party in their talks? Well, we had this topic already, the republican party has no actual official leader. I guess they would be embarrassed to have all the Super-Pac payers listed on that scroll in congress...

Ted Cruz Is Right: Let Limbaugh and Hannity Moderate a GOP Debate!

I rarely agree with Senator Ted Cruz, but he has a great idea: He wants conservative talk-show hosts/demagogues Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin to moderate a GOP debate.

Let’s be clear: The Republican whining about debate moderation to date is pathetic. They smacked CNBC moderators like piñatas Wednesday night, and they’ve continued battering them through the week. You’ll recall that Donald Trump savaged Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly in the most sexist way after the first debate. These guys are first-rate cry babies, working the refs by crying “liberal media bias!” like conservatives have for going on 50 years.

...
Republicans are also lying about the first Democratic debate’s being a love-fest between Anderson Cooper and the candidates. Clinton’s first question involved her alleged shape-shifting and flip-flopping on policy, Senator Bernie Sanders got pointed queries about whether he’s anti-capitalism, and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley was grilled on charges that his policies led to over-incarceration when he was Baltimore mayor.

...

Far from it: Now the undercard candidates are teaming up with the top guns to try to wrest control of the debate process from the Republican National Committee. Representatives of every GOP contender save Chris Christie are reportedly meeting in Washington this weekend to plot against the RNC and the media.

“We need a change of format,” Carson told a press conference in Lakewood, Colorado. “Debates are supposed to be to get to know the candidates, what is behind them. What it has turned into is a gotcha.”

Ted Cruz got even more specific. “How about a debate moderated by Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh?” Cruz suggested in an interview with Hannity. “Now, that would be a debate.”

“I’m in,” Hannity replied. “And I think I can speak for the other two—they’re in as well. I do agree with you because these questions are downright hostile. And I believe this was a horrible night for the news media and in many instances tonight a disgrace to the profession of journalism.”

I’m in, too! I think the world should get a clear look at the unvarnished spectacle of a Republican Party that is now run by the “conservative entertainment complex,” in the words of George W. Bush adviser David Frum.

The voices of those who predicted an escalation of a storyline which shames movie scripts more and more, they are right, and there is still a year to go.

:facepalm:
 
If Republicans have S. Hannity, M. Levin and R. Limbaugh for moderators, why not a Democrat debate moderated by R. Maddow, C. Uygur and J. Stewart ?

Jesus Christ! You think Stewart is a "journalist". I forgot, you French think Jerry Lewis was a great actor too.

The Dems already have home cooking in each and every debate. Why not put Rachel Madcow in? Who gives a fuck?

Ha Ha I guess nobody would object to you doing some debate moderating

He's not a journalist but he knows more about politics than many conservative pundits.
About J. Lewis, I've barely heard about him. Maybe in the early 80' french people used to think he was a great actor but to the people who were born in the early 80' or after, he's nobody. I woouldn't be able to name one movie he starred in if you'de ask me.

Ah, the classic "liberal biased medias" theory, again. Aren't you guys tired of this ? Haven't you guys noted that it only convince people that are already republican voters, that democrats and independants know the trick.

some issues with the biblical accuracy of ben carson's biblical tithing tax plan set out here

http://www.slate.com/articles/busin...tax_plan_is_based_on_the_bible_good_lord.html

"Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson recently proposed a tax system “based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair guy.” The basic idea is that people would pay a set percent of their income in taxes, and most of the federal tax code’s current deductions and loopholes would be closed...

...The Bible actually refers to a number of different taxes or tax-like practices that are divinely inspired, including the temple tax, the agricultural tithe, and nonagricultural tithing, the practice of giving 10 percent of one’s income to the poor. Each of these reflects a different conception of fairness. For instance, the temple tax, described in the Book of Exodus and mentioned several more times in the Old and New Testaments, requires each male over the age of 20 to pay a half-shekel, regardless of wealth or income. In contrast, tithes, described in Deuteronomy and Leviticus, impose a flat rate, such that each person pays a proportional amount of his or her income. In fact, the Bible refers to two tithes, one to be given to the Levites, temple servants who were excluded from the division of land in Israel, and one either to be given to the poor or taken to Jerusalem and consumed, depending on where in the Hebrews’ seven-year cycle one was. "



for any potential carson voters would you be happy to pay 10% of your income directly to the poor, and then to have other taxes on top of that ?

Great post! Note that this would stop any tax helps to the rich, because all the money would have to exclusively go to the poor. I think his donorswon't like THAT part.
 
Who's dick does America have to suck to get a decent Republican candidate that respects the 2nd amendment and has a hawkish foreign policy, believes in climate change and discards the notion that vaccinations are linked to autism, and has pragmatism to reach across the aisles with Democrats to avoid government shutdowns.
 
When both Obama and Fox News are mocking you, you're into some serious shit


 
Not a debate but the Democratic Candidates will be questioned by Rachel Maddow on an expanded show this evening on MSNBC (8pm EST I think).

The next Republican Debate is on Tuesday on Fox Business channel. Jindal just barely managed to stay on the reduced 8 person Main Debate. Christie & Huckabee get moved to the "kids table" and Pataki & Graham are now polling so low they are no longer allowed even there. So effectively the field is cut down to 12.

He's got other issues, but Trump actually has that stuff covered.
 
Remember when Fox News anchors used to demonize rap culture.



Well, now O'Reilly, Hannity and their pals are gonna loooove rap.
