LAS VEGAS NEVADA CNN Democrat Debate.. more than just Hillary and Obama



Have you people been keeping up with the Democrat debates? Do you even know who's running other than Clinton, Edwards and Obama? And, who's the fox Campbell Brown? Did they pick her up from the Fox network?

Part I. Illegal Immigration, Clinton "asbestos pantsuit," Obama hits Clinton "not a straight shooter, Clinton again about universal health coverage, Obama again on health care, Clinton again... I think they are doing this on purpose so that the other candidates don't get any time on the air. Am I crazy? Look for yourself. Where were we.. oh, the big talk over each other, people applaud and yell from the audience,.. Obama defends on health care. Next is Edwards, slams Bush, applause, slams Clinton on the war, Social Security "not do anything about the cap" then "raise the cap," Clinton defends.. Biden shakes his head, see how it goes? they take up the time so the other candidates don't get a chance, then the "republican playbook mud throwing mud statement." Wolf FINALLY gets Sen. Biden to speak who comically plays up the victim part, understandably so, "American people don't give a darn about what's going on up here, sub-prime mortgage and son in Iraq." "I'm not going to criticize the three people who always get to talk at these things." people laugh. "It's about Action! Who's going to deal with Pakistan?"





Part II. Biden finishes his speech, "35 years experience, passed crime act..." people clap.. they like him. Clinton accused of flip flopping, yes on Yuka Mt., Yes on the war, Edwards defends "difference between saying two things at the same time" accuses Clinton of speaking with Forked Tongue. Edwards talks about rigged and corrupt elections, "35 million went hungry last year." Senator Chris Dodd, the older guy with the white hair, finally gets to speak. So far we've heard from 4 out of 8 people so far, Dodd's the 5th. "Going to have to get the job done" talks about "the job not being done." "Americans want a president who can lead the country, important to focus on the issues." Then Gov. Bill Richardson, Gov. of New Mexico, speaks. He's the darker one, black hair, Richardson is the Mexican (PAY ATTENTION TO THIS MAN, He's Well worth listening to and nobodies talking about him). Richardson jokes about him not getting any time, people laugh. He goes after all of them, "John wants to start a class war, Borack want's to start a generation war, Clinton doesn't want to end a war and all I want to do is give peace a chance." He questions our plans, on the war, on health care, economic growth. "Let's stop mud slinging, let's debate the issues." AMEN BILL! Wolf asks if they will support the Democratic nominee. Edwards - Yes, Chris Dodd - Yes, Clinton - Yes, Obama - Yes, Kucinich "only if they oppose war as an instrument of policy." Amen brotha! Richardson - Yes, Biden - "HELL No, I wouldn't support any of these guys." ... Biden's plan of joking is rubbing off on me. The next president (all presidents) are voted in by people that like them.. .not on the issues, not on the money. Likabilitynees is the key. Hottie Campbell asks Obama about illegals.



This is the good part. Wolf asks Obama if he supports drivers licenses to illegals. Obama talks... blah blah blah, says the drivers license is a distraction, "they are here to work." Wolf tries again, Obama uses too many words, I understand what he's saying but Wolf wants an 8th grade answer, "this is the kind of question that's available for a yes or a no answer." The public goes wild with laughter. Wolf s



Part II. Wolfe asks Edwards on the drivers licenses for illegals. Edwards says... um, I missed his answer. Sen. Chris Dodd is next, talks... Wolf, "Is that a Yes or No?" .. I think it was a No. Wolf then goes to Obama, "Yes" Wolf tries to go on but Obama holds on. "Fighting for immigration reform." Clinton "No." Kucinich "take issue with the word 'illegal' they are undocumented, says to Cancel Nafta and renegotiate trade agreement with Mexico. Give people pat to legal immigration." Wolf presses, then moves on to Gov. Bill Richardson from NM, "Yes, and I did it. Congress failed to pass immigration. It's a matter of public safety, want more people to be insured. Before 33% of the Mexicans were uninsured, today it's 11%. Stronger relationship with Mexico." Wolf goes on to Sen. Biden, "No." people clap.


John Roberts asks Sen. Chris Dodd about problem with education, can't terminate bad employees because of teachers unions. "What's wrong with paying a good teacher more?" .. good question. Dodd differentiates between rich kids and poor kids progress and teachers who put in 150%. "This is the most important issue!" He's right. "We spend less than 5% of the National Budget on education!" He rants and raves about No Child Left Behind, people love it. He names off his track record. "We aught to have one single debate on education." He's right.



Wolf, goes to Kucinich, talks about the unions. Kucinich basically supports the unions... not an absolute. Unions do not represent workers, they represent themselves. That's not Kucinich speaking, that's me speaking. Wolf asks Gov. Bill Richardson the same thing. Richardson, "Minimum wage of $40,000/year, junk No Child Left Behind, Full Day Kindergarten, hire 100,000 math and science teachers, need college education policy that deals with these huge loans, wants to be the educational president." This man has a lot of good things to say!



Wolf goes on to "Merit Pay" for great teachers, asks Clinton. "I support school base Merit Pay." ... don't know what it means. .... She talks, blah blah blah. Wolf tries to get at the heart of the issue since they are always dodging. "Reward good teachers?" Clinton doesn't answer, says to weed out the bad. "Object to Bush administration." Wolf wants to hear Biden. Biden's wife is a teacher. "Should an excellent teacher be given Merit Pay?




hmmm, can't find part 4.


Part V. Sen. Chris Dodd says National Security is more important than human rights. Clinton agrees completely. (This is stupid, why should it be one or the other?) John Roberts asks Gov. Bill Richardson about Surge. Is it working? Bill Richardson says "No, we have 3800 dead, 60,000 wounded, get the troops out, leave no troops behind." Wolf asks Kucinich if surge is working. Kucinich says no. Says, "democrats in congress haven't done the right thing, not to give Bush another dime!" You Go Kucinich! Mentions how our role in Iraq has played into all of this violence.


Wolf asks Obama, "is Petraeus’ strategy working?" Obama uses more words again, but... "overall strategy has failed." "I will bring this war to a close, talk to friends and enemies." The Fox Campbell Brown asks Kucinich about toys from China, "do the people who voted to open trade relations in China bear responsibilities for what's going on?" Listen up... Kucinich gave an excellent answer, but it's late and I have to go have dinner. Just watch! He goes after John and says "he new better!" The audience loves it! Edwards sticks and moves, talks and talks... I liked Edwards more before watching this debate. He's giving stereotypical answers that politicians are known for.




Part VII. Can't find 6. Hottie Brown asks Clinton about the gender card. Clinton says "she is being attacked because "I'm ahead." The audience loves it. "I feel very comfortable in the kitchen..." Good answer.




Part 8. All the candidates are now seated. Now the voters get to ask questions. ... uh oh... first contestant is Christopher, an Iraq War vet, 3 tours, they ask about going to war in Iran. Chris agrees it’s a mistake to go into Iran. She wants to know what the democratic contenders think. Joe Biden goes first… lots of words for a mom who’s concerned her son. … I like Biden, but too many words. Slams Bush, but yaddy yaddy yaddy. Doesn’t answer her question. Clinton was the only one who voted for the resolution. … I don’t think Wolf likes Clinton. .. She talks… good God she keeps talking. Too many words for the common man. Edwards is next. “Thank you Christopher.” … he scores points. “It’s important to stop Bush, Cheney and the Neocons..” Amen Brotha! Obama is next… following in Edwards footsteps of thanking Christopher. … more words, these guys forget they’re talking to a mom who’s the average American. They don’t listen and they don’t address the specific issue. They answer with their prepared answers… which reminds me of what happened to Ms. Teen S. Carolina.



Can’t find part 9.




Part 10.



Part 11. Question about the supreme court and abortion. Good question and good answers.




Part 12. .. Diamonds or Pearls.




All good stuff. Do your due diligence and watch the debates.
