First of all, excuse the redundancy of the post title, but anyway...

Was anyone else bothered by the DNC "debate"?

What a farce!

I could go on for years about what was so bad, but one bothersome facet was that here were people who along the campaign trail, in ads and speeches, claimed they would be tough on terrorism, tough crime, make the tough decisions. But then first, they turn tail when liberal / left bloggers demanded they stay away from the "right wing agenda" of Fox News. So...Osama? Can deal! Brit Hume? Too scary!

So what do they do instead? Constantly appear on CNN (aka, the Clinton News Network). And nobody called them on it.

But it gets worse...

Instead of an actual debate, an actual discussion of the issues, they have youtube viewers make videos, and Anderson Cooper "ask" the questions. Please! As if Cooper's softballs were not enough, they had to go to youtube softballs.

The whole night was a farce. The whole night was a mockery of democracy. Yes, there were declamations of "This is the modern townhall." No. This was the modern way of looking cute (actually, making me ill) and avoiding the real issues.

Oh yeah, our country's future looks bright!

NOT!!!
