Its not affirmative action for a black woman, if that's what your wondering.

She got the job because of her resume and experience. Gwen Ifill has been doing Presidential debates for several election cycles, I think. And she's a highly respected and qualified journalist and news anchor.

well--may be it will be a fair debate, and talk about real issues.

Like the proven election fraud machine ACORN and their heavy ties to obama---hmmmmmmmmm? 800 grand donation is a pretty big tie to the known election vote cheaters. Not the first time obama gets in bed with slime to gain a slimey political career.

The truth is waiting for you to tune in.

I could give two shits if she's black. I've never heard of her and it looks like she has a book coming out in which she writes about Obama among other people and how he's changing the political landscape.

I'm curious who decides who the moderaters are? Has there ever been a moderator who was right-leaning? If there is someone on the right at the negotiating table to determine who the moderator is they might want to consider going back to negotiating 101 with freshmen at their local junior college.

Do you think Gwen Ifill is "on the left"? What makes you think that?


Cawacko, the two parties are never going to agree to let Sean Hannity, David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, or Ariana Huffingtion moderate a debate.

They're going to let professional journalists do the moderating. That's the way it works. That's the way its always going to work.

If you call what we get for information from our major mdeia "professional journalism"----what world do you live in?
 
Ya know what--I watched some of that CNN special "Balck in America". I did not watdh it all, but from what I saw about blacks today--I grew up in their shoes, facing the same challenges they do today. Do not bring race into what I think about EPIC. Race has nothing to sdo with it. personally, I think Obama is bringing up racial tension that we have not seen since the 60's and 70's--just like you did just now.

EPIC--I am talking to you now--and not these liberial door mats that throw a race card every time somebody does not kiss a minorities azz.

You are a black man-in the best country in the world. I am your white neighbor. I bet neither of us were born with a rich liberial/republican spoon up our azzes, and both of us have to work for what we earn. We both get taxed so much, that we live our lives worrying about paying our utility bills. (now I started my own business full time 2 years ago---utilities are easy now).

Read this to every race card throwing liberial moron out there. I, The Majority loudly proclaim that I don't give a crap what color a man or woman is. I don't care what gender a white person or a person of color is. We all have equal human rights IMO. I have faith in every segment of our population, tha there are outstanding human beings in each. You don't have to be outstanding to do well in this country, you just have to be average. Now--I could be pissed off at Clinton and the Republicans, for selling out our manufacturing, effectively making my self paid degrees (worked full time for 10 or 12 years, and went to school paert time) pretty much worthless--and I am a bit. But I did something that any American should do--figure out a way to make it work. I took my child hood recreation of racing dirt bikes, my 20 plus years of exp as a machinist, and my manufacuting degrees in quality and manufacturing engineering and put them all together for my own business. I think I will make $200 grand next year--and I am feeling what America is all about right now. I did not realize what America was about until I started my business and became able to pay the utilities better (they wait 2 to three months now--weather they like it or not--just for fun-whhooohahahahahaha).

I guess it was a natural progression for me, and if manufacturing did not turn into a suck pool, I might not have found my dream.

I don't care what color you are---we all have dreams that we have the right to chase. It is your life, the only one you have. Socialism squashes individual dreams IMO. I got luckly, and I was able to start up with about $100.00. Any more socialism that I have to pay for, and I might not have been able to start my business. Ask a 30 year old business owner in your local area if he could start his business nearly as easy as he did back then--and he will tell you--No way (at least the ones I have asked).

EPIC--you can do as good as anybody else, and we have a black man running for president as evidence. If somebody else can do it, you can do it (that goes for everybody). It does help to think outside of the box IMO. Watch everybody that all do the same thing like sheep--lose their lifestyle--while I grow. Now, you might stick your neck out, and lose- But you learn from that and do better the next time. Don't let people get to much blood from little arrows either--all my friends thought I was nuts for starting my little garage business--but now, they all want to work for me.

I came from nothing--built up my tool box for half my life, and now I can use the tools for myself. It is a awesome feeling I want everybody to experience. Once you do---you will totally hate socialism. You will finally understand the most basic human right all in the world really want--the right to persue happyness, and reep the benifits of your labor.

EPIC--if your down (I don't know). It is as temporary as you make it. Don't let some social commie promise you anything for a vote. The system they propose is suppose to hold us down. Obama wants to tax people more making $125 grand or more. If I make $100 grand profit, I will pay 48% with the sturcture I have now. What I relaize with a tax proposal like that is---your punished if you do your own thing, and become sucessfull. that means he want to hold us all down IMO. This is my life--the only one I have. I have a big problem with Obama. I sincerly believe he is a modern day communist. he is not pay back tiome for blacks--he is the guy who wil take your childrens money if they make it in this country.

EPIC--I encourage you to dream--and act on them. it is amazing how a dream can grow. It is a feeling no Obama supporter from our economic class has experienced. if you don't know what you have in this country--you won't miss it mwhen they take it away. Will you still sing in your bird cage?
