One Simple QUESTION for all the DEMOCRATS

One simple question deserves a simple answer

Published on July 26, 2007 By Moderateman In Democrat

You Democrats that are getting ready to vote for your candidate of choice here is my question.

How can we have any faith in a DEMOCRAT President that DOES NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO DEBATE ON FOX NEWS, to fight any kind of war?

JUST LIKE I THOUGHT, MUCH LIKE THE COWARDS THAT WANT TO BE PRESIDENT BUT CANN0T FACE FOX NEWS, LET ALONE FIGHT A WAR ON TERROR, NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT HAS A WORD TO SAY ABOUT THEIR TREASURED CANDIDATES! cowards vote for other cowards should be the banner over the democratic convention when they nominate their choice for president!!!

Unsure of the question by the placing of the comma. Is the question why theyt won't debate on Fox?

Or why they won't fight a war?

Is it now a requirement to debate on Fox News to be an effective Preisdent? I don't think any candidate is afraid to debate on Fox, they just don't want to and that's their perogative. Should they be bullied into participating to coddle the Republicans who won't even be voting in their primary? That really wouldn't make any sense. This is old news anyway. Edwards pulled out in March. There have been plenty of debates and there will be plenty more. Fox news isn't fair and balanced. If I were a candidate, I don't know that I would participate either. Also the CEO of Fox compared Obama to Osama Bin Laden which didn't go over well in Dem. circles.

Exactly. They are currently campaigning and participating in debates to win their party's nomination. Seeing how not many democrats watch Fox news, what's the point in them debating there? It would be entirely different if the candidate for President ducked a debate vs. the republican candidate.

Sort of like "child predators vote for child predators" should be the banner over the republican convention?

Oh wait, republicans aren't child predators as a general rule, just as democrats aren't cowards as a general rule.

all i see when i am watching cspan during commercials are the democrats saying is we need to pull out of Iraq. but they don't want to pull out now they want to wait and postpone until election time. so all they really want to do is be elected.

in the mean time, every time they confront bush on something bush wins. and they run away.

Hmmm...who specifically said they wanted to wait to pull troops out until election time?

reid (however you spell his name) wanted to wait two months. what is two months from now.

Could two months from now be.....(cue scary music)....September!!!! And why is that date so significant? I am glad that you asked.

Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. general in Iraq and the man behind the current "surge" strategy, is to deliver a report to Congress on Sept. 15. So the Democrats have agreed to wait until after the report, gauge the degree of success by that date, which is a little more than six months after the troop level was raised and then make a decision.

The sequence of events was as follows:

December 6th, 2006, the Iraq Study group presented its report, highly critical of the strategy in Iraq.
December 11th, President Bush meets with his advisers.
January 10th, President Bush speaks to the nation....but before his speech additional troops are already en route.

From the outset, Democrats (and some Republicans) have insisted on metrics, milestones. That is not uncommon. In school or at a job or pretty much anywhere, you have to report on success or failure. People get report cards, evaluations, etc. In war, we refer to the measure of relative gains or losses as "Winning" or "Losing." It is really not unusual for Congress to ask the General in charge of a war effort if we are winning or losing that war.

"they want to wait and postpone until election time." You DO know that the election isn't until November 2008? Please tell me that you know that...PLEASE. So talking about reducing troop levels based on the report of the General in charge of commanding those troops is perfectly reasonable and has nothing to do with the election.

You understand that what you have said makes absolutely no sense and shows an appalling lack of knowledge of current events, right?

"all i see when i am watching cspan during commercials" Maybe you need to watch the WHOLE program instead of 30 second clips.

Fox news isn't fair and balanced

And neither is the rest of the media. Why should the republican candidates go on a debate run by the media with a severe liberal bias?

This shows how the democrats have to appease their kook base who believe Fox News, or as they call it "Faux News", is some government sponsored media outlet.

There was no reason for them to pull out of this debate.
