No, because CNBC/NBC would not or does not aggressively question the opposition, but rather gives them a free pass or fluff questions.

And all this time the Dems were in denial about "Main Stream Media" bias.
They've carried the water for seven years now for this lying, incompetent, corrupt President and their bias was on full display last week for all to see.

Sad that the MSM still influences a lot of people. it would be nice if we had more folks that could think for themselves on matters that directly affect them, instead of being led around by their nose by the media types. But no, they are the sheep the Democratic Party relies on to perpetuate themselves into office. Offer them a few new free goodies like "free college" and they're in. Not thinking it through that if they ever expect to become contributing members of society and actually work for a living that they will have to pay too, or that free college when we are 19 TRILLION in debt? really?

At what point in time does all of this irresponsible craziness by our elected officials cause a light to go on?

Aggressive questioning is great and even necessary; however, the premise and tone of the questions from CNBC was unprofessional, combative, and insulting. It was a farce.

+1 A shameful display of partisanship to the highest level in a position that demands you to be unbiased.

Used to be journalist were professional enough to do their job in a fair, professional way. You would not know their political affiliation, i.e. Cronkite, David Brinkley, Frank Reynolds and Howard K. Smith. Not anymore.

You know that the last few threads you started have just been to troll the board.

[FaninAma]

I didn't vote for a Dem president until 2008.
did you vote for Obama in 2012? If so then you're OK with doubling the national debt and leaving it for our children to deal with. In 2008 Obama ran as a stealth candidate. By 2012 you should have known what he is all about.

Puff! Puff! Whew! Sorry, out of breath from running all the way in from
left field! Actually, been busy laughing at all the folderol about the debates...
on both sides. Really and truly, I was prophetic when I said to send in the
clowns..all 22 of 'em (both sides, doncha know..) at the outset of this season.
Pubs have a circular firing squad..can't hit a bull in the a$$ with a bass fiddle and
the Dems are busy trying to see who can offer more freebies than the other. At
some point, both parties will select a nominee and we'll all get whiplash when
they pivot back to the center. My ears were burning..that's why I came to this
thread....

Right now I'm in the first half of prepping for an endoscopy look see. About 3:30 A.M.
tomorrow when I start the second half I may not be so "moderate"!:biggrin::tongue::devilish:

Did you vote for Bush in 2000? If so you are ok with unfunded wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Medicare D, No Child Left Behind, and Patriot Act. Why do you hate our children?

I voted for Bush in 2000 based on his record as governor of Texas. I did not vote for him in 2004 because it was obvious he was an idiot and a big government establishment Republican. I also detested Karl Rove. I did not vote for john McCain because I thought he would do the same thing as Bush. Any more questions?

Yet HRC is losing to this circular firing squad of clowns in every swing state this fall and that's before the ads showing her lack of character and incompetence while SoS have started running.

The GOP has several establishment candidates if that is your cup of tea. They have a pretty staunch libertarian in Paul. They have a small government constitutionalist in Cruz. They have at least 3 moderates. They have non-politicians, businessmen and women, a doctor, several governors of states that fared better economically in the recent economic downturn than most of the rest of the country. They have a black, 2 hispanics and a woman and an Asian Indian.

Tell me again what the Democrats have?

Just making sure the logical arguments all flowed. You may continue with ad hominems and blanket condemnation. Carry on.

The Dems have a grumpy ol grandpa whose socialistic ideas would not and
cannot survive a general election (imo), a governor who did some good in
his home state but is up against a well organized and well funded woman
with a lot of governmental experience and a lot of baggage, well versed in
dealing with "the vast right wing conspiracy". Surely, your non-politicians,
who have NO experience or substantive solutions to our nation's ills, or a
southern governor whose approval rating in his home state is less than 30%,
or a northeastern governor that failed traffic control, or three first term
senators..two who filibuster and one that flip flops, or a former governor that
has to duck his brother's record, or most of the lower tier candidates who
can't catch a cold, much less polling recognition would provide better direction
for the country. Only one Pub, imo, is worth his salt...Kasich..has a good record,
both in Congress and his home state. He is the one you folks on the right should
get behind with all the party's energy and you'd have a chance to win. If you don't,
HRC is likely to win. (Please, please muzzle Trump and give Carson a couple of
cases of Red Bull, how 'bout that?)

[FaninAma]

Kasich will never come close to winning the GOP nomination. In fact. I think his sole purpose for being in the race is to help Jeb look more conservative. The fact that the left and those who rarely sup-port the GOP think Kasich is so great speaks volumes to me. He loves government spending. He had to be forced to accept the balanced budget deal by Gingrich when he was chairman of the Ways and Means committee in Congress. He chided those who wondered how we are going to pay for the expanded Medicaid promised by Obamacare and he is squishy on immigration. No wonder the left thinks he is the best candidate.

Let me just re-iterate the fact that the point I made was to call Evangelicals "bat **** crazy" who advocate supplanting Constitutional law with Biblical law. As are those who have this bunker mentality that Christianity is under constant attack and persecution. Being an Evangelical doesn't make you bat**** crazy. Being an Evangelical who believes Christian doctrine trumps my individual liberty makes one bat**** crazy.

I am unaware of any evangelical groups that have advocated this. I am sure you can reference some marginalized small sects that advocate this. I was raised Seventh Day Adventist. Some would consider that a cult since it is the church that gave rise to David Koresh and the Branch Dividians(although he was kicked out of the SDA church and disavowed). Having said that the SDA church I grew up in very much believed in Jesus' admonition to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and they built upon that by making it very clear to their members that the Church is by and large an apolitical entity that tries to stay out of politics. I don't make the claim that there aren't some misguided individuals and small sects that would like to set up a Christian type of caliphate in the country but the vast majority of evangelical Christians do not believe this. I know no evangelical Christians who believe others should be forced to worship like they do because being a Christian is a choice...it cannot be forced upon somebody. Do evangelicals believe in a code of morals by which society should operate? Sure they do but I don't think being against abortion, advocating that marriage is between a man and a woman, expecting others to live up to personal responsibilities while learning from past life choice mistakes and encouraging some standards in popular culture to which our children are exposed daily is the same as trying to force others to worship like we do. Our opinions on moral standards and personal expectations may differ but I guarantee you that I and others like me care less which God you choose to worship or not to worship but we reserve the right to express our opinions about morality, personal behavior and the standards of the society we must live in the same as anyone else. As an expression of this right we will support political candidates and actions through the legal recognized political process in this country that most closely represent our views.....the same as we expect others with different opinions to do.

The reason I reacted so vociferously to your statement is because I have seen a very obvious trend by non-Christians to ridicule and demean followers of the religion based on nothing but their(the critics) preconceived notions about that religion. The Christian religion has, for the most part, tended to avoid confrontation in the arena of public discourse especially over the past century. I think that has not served them well and has emboldened those who harbor a visceral dislike of the Christian religion. The trend is obvious enough over the past decade that I truly am concerned about how society will treat my children over the next 10 to 20 years should they choose to continue practicing their Christian beliefs. There aren't a lot of New World's left where Christians can travel to to avoid persecution as there were in the 15th and 16th centuries. We have to live and co-exist in this society which means we have to stand up against unreasonable bias and bigotry much the way Jews have had to stand up against bias and bigotry against their religion for centuries.

Now, if you doubt any of my concerns I simply invite you to wait for and read the reponses the above post generates. Maybe I will be surpised.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Well said FaninAma. I would reemphasize that I know of no Christian, nor have I ever known of one, who advocates supplanting the Bible or its passages for the US Constitution, and those who fear that being the case are concerned over something that has not happened nor been advocated seriously in the USA. Now Muslim teachings and their intent to override a government are another matter entirely, as we have witnessed many times already, and will continue to witness.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I liked Kasich when he was in the House. These days though? Holy ****.I know. He used to be a good American. What a reversal for him. I wonder why.
