CNN / YouTube Republican Debate

Ladies and Gentlemen,
On Wednesday Nov. 28 we saw 8 republican presidential candidates in the CNN / YouTube Republican Debate, each candidate show cased their strengths. Can you really call this a debate? I think not, really it was an interview with Anderson Cooper. But the questions were asked by YouTube viewers! Yes, but the CNN political team chose which questions they would air. Please share you comments about this debate with the other readers of this blog.

YouTube / CNN Democratic Debate Question #8

Is this crazy or what.
This is one of the few times I will agree with John Edwards, you should NOT vote for someone based on their race, or gender! Those people who will vote for Hillary because she is a woman really need to rethink their voting criteria, same for those who will, or will not vote for Obama because of his skin color.

YouTube / CNN Democratic Debate Question #4

How would you define the word Liberal?
I would define it as someone who takes money from the rich and gives it to the poor, thus mentally disabling the poor from getting a good job. Why should I bother to get a good job when the government will pay me?

YouTube/CNN Democratic Debate question #15-16

Should women register for the draft when they turn 18?' (15)
My answer would be YES. Even if you don't support the draft you should support woman being asked to serve just like their male counterparts! Our country is working very hard to end racial and sexual discrimination, having the government ask the same of woman that they do of men is a step in the right direction.

Would a woman president be taken seriously by an Arab state? (16)
I am really not sure, unfortunately i think that a woman president would not be taken as seriously. However, that said, just the thought of a female opposing them might make them both respect her and her power, and take her seriously.

WHY DO MOST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY PROMISE BENEFITS FOR THEIR RACE AND GENDER? I think that the Presidential Candidates should promise equal rights to all genders and races! I our country gives black people compensation of some sort for their ancestors being slaves that would be discriminating. For Example, say we give black people a discount at the grocery store, black people would still be discriminated against. Imagine your a black person standing in line to check out at your local grocery store, the person in front of you is black, and the person behind you is white. When the person in front of you starts checking out you hear the cashier say: "would you like the black discount?" Suddenly you realize that this discount that allows you to get your groceries at a cheaper price is really just another method of discriminating against you. Also, how can you hold today's white citizens responsible for the slavery some of them helped end?
