- mt066, on 11/29/2007, -1/+70The whole "youtube debate" thing looks like a heavily marketed facade to me. "Whoa check it out we're using the same youtubes player the kids are using!!! Pretty radical, right? Blingin'! "
NBC will try to outdo them with a Verizon Wireless (tm) text message debate: "do u liek 2 cut tax?" "lol no" - babcat, on 11/29/2007, -34/+84Ron Paul is the only candidate that seriously wants to reduce the size of government and abolish the income tax. He supports abolishing the IRS and replacing it with NOTHING!
The only candidate true fiscal conservatives can support is Ron Paul! - cjdunn, on 11/29/2007, -9/+59CNN = Compromised News Network
Norquist: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." - bratpack8, on 11/29/2007, -3/+45One word: Staged
- 0xbaadf00d, on 11/29/2007, -11/+47Funny they don't mention the confirmed Clinton, Obama, and Edwards campaign plants. "Undecided voters" my ass.
- Grandforks85, on 11/29/2007, -1/+27CNN is rendering itself completely obsolete.
http://digg.com/politics/Digging_out_more_CNN_YouT ... - hipnerd, on 11/29/2007, -1/+19Gotta love Grover. Hey remember how he was implicated in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal? How he, Abramoff and Ralph Reed blackmailed American Indian tribes and sold facetime with the president? It was widely reported on CNN, so I have one question:
Why did they allow him to ask a question as if he was a serious tax reformer and not a corrupt, disgraced, money-grubbing lobbyist? - hipnerd, on 11/29/2007, -3/+19If he cuts spending down to where we are running a surplus, paying off our debt and we can still afford to abolish the IRS, I'm all for it. Just don't slash taxes with vague promises to cut spending later. We've already had that with the past three Republican administrations and it's dragging the United States so deep into debt that it will eventually ruin the economy.
- Kythas, on 11/29/2007, -2/+18The whole debate was a sham. CNN either didn't vet the questions or purposely tried to deceive everyone. Of the 15 questions given, at least 5 so far have been found to be Democratic plants who were described as "undecided Republican voters".

You can't count a question about the Yankees and Red Sox as a legitimate question - Richandler, on 11/29/2007, -0/+11Out of the 10,000 videos submitted for both debates the same guy got aired for both the Dems, and Repubs. One guy got two selections out of 10,000....
Mark Strauss. Gotta check out who he really is. - drbuns, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10The videos with the questions from the debate all seemed to be filmed on extremely good webcams, or in other words, it was all fake/staged/whatever. How can anyone actually enjoy watching all these horrible "debates"?
- skippy17, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10Nope, that's huckabee
- drbuns, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10I really don't think there ever was one.
- insllvn, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10Presidential candidates have shied away from real debate for quite some time now.
- hipnerd, on 11/29/2007, -2/+12Yeah no whining from Republicans, present company excluded.
For the record, I'd rather the debates for both parties had more tough questions. we learn a lot more about the candidates when their ideas are challenged than we do when they give pat answers to softball questions. - shortarabguy, on 11/29/2007, -1/+11Thanks, that had nothing to do with this article, which was about how the people posing questions weren't common individuals.
- airwalkery2k, on 11/29/2007, -1/+10The reason CNN didn't allow their questions (beyond Dean's submitted video after the due date) was because they have "regular access to politicians." Yet Norquist doesn't?
- demonsnake69, on 11/29/2007, -1/+9People need to stop pretending that their votes matter.
- yikiad, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7in my opinion, there really is no un-biased news sources anymore.
- whalefarmerjohn, on 11/29/2007, -4/+11That's retarded, they can't air 3000 youtube clips in one debate due to time constraints. That doesn't mean that they rejected them.
- tobster85, on 11/29/2007, -1/+7This is why the Federal Reserve & the IRS must be abolished! It will NOT hurt the country as they want you to believe...it will help YOU!
The armed services are not paid for with your IRS taxes. They are paid for via the silent tax on everything, known as "inflation."
Nor do your IRS taxes build roads, schools, bridges, etc. Those funds come from gasoline taxes, property taxes, and various fees, permits, etc.
Nor do your IRS taxes fund the police. Those funds come from municiple budgets, and - although it is illegal, - in most cases from the fines you pay them. In fact, in smaller towns, it is common to have the courthouse, police dept., and jail, all be in one building or near each other.
There is one and only one thing that your income (IRS) taxes go to:
They pay off the interest (but don't put a dent in the principal) on the national debt to the Fed Reserve (a collection of private -- NOT federal -- banks).
That's it. They do nothing else.

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ - janeuner, on 11/29/2007, -8/+14Buried for saying Norquist didnt deserve airtime, but somehow Dodd and Dean did. Biased =/
- Drahkar, on 11/29/2007, -1/+6Just going out on a limb here. Because CNN isn't any better anymore?
- cambob76, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5It reminds me of seeing Chuck Norris on T.V. last night in an ad. Didn't he stop being cool on the Internet a couple of years ago? Way to go out-of-touch ad execs! The old media just looks stupid trying measure up to the Internet.
- banmaster, on 11/29/2007, -1/+6In that case they should have asked them all how many babies does it take to make their baby-blood shakes each morning!
- mishaco, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5questions should be voted on by the public that posed them in the first place , in order for the public to get the best , most parsed non answers and flim - flammed responses a responsible lobby for the richest corporations can muster .
- hipnerd, on 11/29/2007, -1/+6Good point. As long as we continue to ignore the problem, it's our children who's lives are ruined -- not ours. So who cares?
- LastVisibleDog, on 11/29/2007, -3/+8The officer is a member of one of Hillary's steering committees
BUSTED!!!
Hillary is already knee-deep in scandal - she puts shills in the audience of her speeches to ask questions she wrote - now this - amazing - Obscenewords, on 11/29/2007, -6/+11I live in St. Pete for the winter, and I was in the downtown area. I wanted to go to the actual debate but the tickets are by invitation only. The streets were pact with Ron Paul supporters but not to many, if any, had invitations to the event. So even the crowd was chosen for their political beliefs. Such a strange world.
- elnerdo, on 11/29/2007, -1/+6I don't think you understand what ruin is, then.
- cusoman, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5I lol'd.
- Retsep, on 11/29/2007, -4/+8Even Anderson Cooper admitted that the one guy was a Hillary campaigner after the debate.
- KJSatz, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5He wants to enact the Don't Tax.
- BabyWookie, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5Have you actually watched CNN for the past few years? They cheered on the Iraq War and seem very anti-Chavez and Amahdinejad to me. Typical right-wing corporate media.
- banmaster, on 11/29/2007, -3/+7Eventually ruin? My friend, its ***** RUINED already thanks to Bush and his mates turning one of the biggest ever surpluses into the biggest ever debt!
- tobster85, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5The IRS doesn't pay for any infrastructure. Its DOES NOT pay for military, roads, schools, nothing like that at all. NOT A DIME.
There is one and only one thing that your income (IRS) taxes go to: They pay off the interest (but don't put a dent in the principal) on the national debt to the Fed Reserve (a collection of private -- NOT federal -- banks).
Wake up. - askjeffro, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4Article has been updated (I assume):
"Out of almost 5,000 video submissions, CNN chose to pose 34 to the candidates tonight. Instead of alloting all slots to ordinary citizens —"
This defers significantly from the subtitle shown here. - crapmatic, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4I like how fokov says "the IRS is required unless we go to a zero tax society" and he gets dugg down to -1 without any rebuttal. I wish someone would have the balls to explain how a government can generate billions in revenue without the IRS, rather than hitting the red button to make the post disappear.
- jkizzle, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5you have no way to prove that. ron paul supporters probably were there to expose the "undecided" people to his candidacy.
- reed311, on 11/29/2007, -2/+6Let me guess: the Internet, which is riddled with conspiracy theories, uninformed opinions, and outright lies is going to take it's place? Yes, the mainstream media is far from perfect, but the Internet is much much worse.
- andy2245, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5Don't forget that CNN simply refused to allow Alan Keyes to participate in the debate last night!!
- reed311, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5Yeah, but it's another conspiracy theory they can add to the Ron Paul fire. The more they feel like a victim, the more important they feel, apparently.
- TheOther1, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4She's about 100 times hotter than Coultier.
- banmaster, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5Problem there is that CNN (the Compromised NeoCon Network) will just create thousands of shill accounts in whatever voting forum they end up using and skewing the questions.
- cambob76, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4As soon as something is viewed, there is bias.
- Grandforks85, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5You're missing the point, man. CNN was supposed to get people who are undecided voters. That's their claim. But they did not follow through, in fact, they blatantly lied about that. That's the problem. Kind of like when Bill Clinton had an affair in the Oval Office, it wasn't the blow-job people were pissed about, it was the fact that he bold-face lied about it to the entire world on National television. See what I mean?
- defwheezer, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3The debates are a sham. The election has already been decided. All that's left is to rig the vote tallies- and that's pretty damn easy using e-voting(fraud) machines.
- FredFredrickson, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Because they didn't use all 3,000 questions? I just don't understand this... infantile logic.
- linnorm, on 11/29/2007, -2/+5"but I do liek mudkips!"
