Thread: CNN/Tea Pary Express Debate tonight

Social Security marks the battle lines for CNN/Tea Party Debate - CNN.com

It's on at 8:00PM EST on CNN, moderated by Wolf Blitzer. I have no idea where the questions are coming from, or what the format may be. Will be interesting to see how many Tea Party litmus test questions get asked, and which of the candidates get the most attention.

Damn, I'll be at work.

This is one trainwreck I gotta see

Well you think it could be worse than the trainwreck this country is right now?

I am breaking my rule of not watching the new in order to watch...Should be hilarious...

That was not very good singing.

Well...

CNN is better than MSNBC
And Blitzer is better than the brain donors last week. But there is a lot of room for improvement in the questions.

Newt does his usual great job... but Perry is maintaining his lead.

Blitzer just put out the question, "So a 30 year old healthy young man doesn't have insurance because it's expensive and he's healthy ends up in a coma and in the hospital for 6 months, who should pay for it?". Ron Paul says it's every man for himself.

Blitzer goes, "So, what are we saying, we should just let the young man die?" and people in the crowd yelled, "YEAH!".

That's abhorrent and the main reason why I'm not a Republican.

Yeah, I can see that being used in every Dem ad soon. Definitely not a good moment. Ron Paul is right though. That is why we have charity. You cannot force people to eat certain foods or take care of themselves. The best thing we could do is to be less accommodating to fat people and people who do not take care of themselves. We need to work on ways to reduce costs so people can afford to buy the services not put the government in charge of paying for it which will dramatically raise prices.

Ugh I am so tired of hearing the BS line about how they want to attack us because we have a civilization. Do people really not understand that actions have consequences??
