Giuliani and Romney avoiding YouTube debate.
“So far, only Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) have agreed to participate” in the Sept. 17 CNN/YouTube debate for the Republican presidential field. Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, “both with dozens of videos on their YouTube channels,” have indicated they will not attend. Yesterday, Romney confused YouTube with Myspace, saying, “YouTube is a website that allows kids to network with one another and make friends and contact each other.”

Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are pathetic cowards. They talk tough when it comes to “the terrorists” but can’t face the heat from ordinary Americans who might call them on their abject bullshit.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:44 amGOP’ers please nominate one of these dufus’! its not like you all are DOOMED…. LOL!
July 27th, 2007 at 11:45 amDid either Giuliani or Romney get a look at the videos on their YouTube channels? Is it that they can’t answer these questions?
And I see that Romney is about as in touch with pop culture as Dan Quayle was.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:47 amRomney also said he has three internets in his house, all connected with tubes, which he believes are powered by hamsters tirelessly running on a wheel.
He also believes that before Jesus ascended into heaven, he took a detour to Missouri.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:48 amRomney and Giuliani are afraid of being outed during a You-Tube debate. They are frightened of being exposed as filthy hypocrites.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:49 amHow out of touch is Rombo?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:50 amHe appears to be missing that sense entirely.
Surprise!!
Romney’s a dipshit.
Heh.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:52 amBecause they cannot spend all the night talking about their beloved subject and that’s how they are principled and ‘family values’ people.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:52 amThat does not work well with ‘You Tube’ questioning.
They are accustomed to easy questioning by networks prepared for soft landing for them…
They are afriad they might have to face one or two hard and tough questions might be slipping thru,and that might be
embarrassing to them.
In simple English, they are afraid to answer real questions by real people.
Both would attend a CNN debate with serious questions, but the last YouTube debate was a joke. An effing snowman? That debate was an embarrassment to CNN.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:52 amJust goes to show how really out of touch the GOP has become with mainstream america…
July 27th, 2007 at 11:53 am“YouTube is a website that allows kids to network with one another and make friends and contact each other.â€
Why didn’t he think to ask Mark Foley before he made this ridiculous statement?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:53 amWe’z afeerd of them there internets ‘n the folks that be livin’ in them boxes with all ‘em buttunz…
July 27th, 2007 at 11:54 amGiuliani & Romney have also announced they will simply let the Supreme Court decide which one of them gets to be president next so as to avoid any potential voting problems (such as a Democrat getting more votes than them)
July 27th, 2007 at 11:54 amTo be fair… you CAn network with other people and make friends and contact each other on YouTube as well. They have a messaging system, and you can set up your own page.
But I know, I know. Mitt was thinking MySpace anyway.
—-
Maybe they are afraid CNN will ‘attack’ them by playing only videos from people who will ask questions to make them look bad. They may think CNN wants to do to Republicans what Fox wants to do with Democrats all the time. They may think, like a lot of Republicans do… that CNN has a ‘liberal bias’.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:54 amDOOOMED…
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!
July 27th, 2007 at 11:54 amRepublicans, like most cockroaches, can’t stand the light of day. They are liars, and they are cowards.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:55 amWhy should the republicans want to subject themselves to idiotic Michael-Moore-like questions that are hand-picked by anonymous MSM editors. The network that hosted it would just say “hey, they weren’t our questions”. In a real debate, the moderator has some responsiblity. In this format — none. They are right to bail out on this.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:55 amWHAT’S UP(oops) Egg?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:56 amBush cant stand in front of a grieving mother.
These guys wont engage a CNN/Youtube debate.
Real tough guys.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:56 amcareful re-DUD-lickans, that dump truck is gonna drop all those tubes on you…
:D
July 27th, 2007 at 11:56 amGiven Romney’s command of things I’m certainly glad it was Al Gore who gets credit for creating the internet and not this nitwit.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:56 amThat’s OK. The less public exposure for those two the better. Personally, I’d love to see a debate between Ron Paul and McCain.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:57 amtough on terror like an overcooked steak,
soft and yielding, like a Nerf ball…
July 27th, 2007 at 11:57 amRudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are pathetic cowards.

No doubt you prefer the usual format, in which Republicans are shielded from anything except softball questions from loyal supporters and corporate media whores on the take.

Britt Hume, brown nosing sycophant for corporate interests, especially privitizing Social Security. Like the Church of Bob says, “A Rogue Subgenius”, much in the mold of Horowitz and Dennis Miller. These were the people in the 60s who went to Woodstock for “the naked babes”, but now are Wall Street Investors and Corporate Lawyers.

Comment by Toliver — July 27, 2007 @ 11:52 am
It was a good debate. They used creativity when asking serious questions. You have to remember there were more than 1300 video questions submitted, and CNN chose the 38 videos to present.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:10 pmCowards. Both of them are totally superficial and lack any substance. They look good behind a camera. They only have confidence as long as they have their cue cards and their lines memorized. Especially Giuliani. If he doesn’t have 9/11 to hide behind, he doesn’t have anything to talk about. I can see where this format might be to big a threat to expose them both for the frauds that they are.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:11 pmMittuns & Rudi are missing the debate because Rudi is in a woman’s fashion show & Mittuns likes to watch.
One question about the first YouTube debate…why was the question regarding an illegal invasion & US Attorney scandal dropped to the cutting floor?
WHY?
CNN pulled a Nancy.

There. Fixed it.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:13 pm“Serious” questions are easy for these candidates, because their teams can pretty well write them in advance, and coach the candidates on the correct response. Since neither of these meatheads is capable of thinking on their feet, there’s no way they will put themselves in a situation where they have to do so.
Whether YouTube is a reasonable venue isn’t really the issue, rather it’s the inability of McCain and Romney to answer questions that come from the proletariat unscripted.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:14 pmGOOD. AND then the GOP should halt all debates until the Dems agree to debate on Fox.
Fight fire with fire. NO WAY should the GOP play by the left’s rules. We still have the White House.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:15 pmI hope Darth decides to run. It would be fun watching him on the campaign trail.

There is no such thing as “Fox News”. You can call it “Fox Propaganda” or “Murdoch’s Opinion as presented on Fox”. But you can’t honestly call it “Fox News”. That’s an oxymoron.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:24 pm#41 Kay ~ I’d love to see the debate between Darth and Hillary that starts with Darth rumbling “Who are you? I don’t know you!”
July 27th, 2007 at 12:25 pm#46 – bull sh*t. The MSM has done nothing but fawn over the Dems and throw softball questions. The GOP gets hit from every angle.
The You Tube debates will be designed to embarass Rudy (or Fred, if he was in it) because they are the most likely to beat Hillary. PERIOD. The media HATES Republicans and the right-wing agenda. They will do whatever they can to destroy them.
NO YOU TUBE!!!
July 27th, 2007 at 12:25 pmYa, the utube debate gimmick is kinda dumb, but to say that the debate would be designed to embarrass rudy or fred is simply idiotic.

July 27th, 2007 at 12:27 pm#41 – yeah, I wish Cheney would run. He would wipe the floor with Hitlery. The biggest reason Democrats HATE Cheney and have lied about him for years is because he’s so smart. He wasted Edwards and b*tch, shameless wife at the debate in 2004.
Cheney is so articulate. He could redeem himself in an instant in a debate against Hitlery.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:27 pmWow, I think that a debate between McCain and Ron Paul will be worth watching. And, it might end up being a real debate rather than the “sound bite” debates they have been having up until now.
I agree that Romney and Guiliani are cowards. They are afraid they might be asked a hard question rather than the “softball” questions they have been asked in their other “debates”.

You mean like the softball questions they have been asked in their other “debates”. They are running away from serious questions.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:30 pmReally, what does it matter? Giulliani answers every question with the phrase “9/11″ anyway.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:30 pmIsn’t Cheney’s daughter a lesbian? Yes. Yes she is. AND, she’s adopted and is raising a BABY with her lesbian lover. I wonder if Dick thinks she’ll burn in Hell?
July 27th, 2007 at 12:30 pmThey aren’t avoiding this debate out of principle. They’re cowards.
Giuliani hides behind 9/11. What happens when he gets a direct question from the NY Firefighters? And he has to answer it.. Without 9/11 he has nothing to talk about. That is not a reason to be President.
I loved the You Tube debate with the Dems. It was a lot less scripted (I felt). It forces more spontaneous, real answers. I don’t know HOW real, but closer than the other debates where they stand up there and give rehearsed speeches.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:31 pm#62 – No, but you certainly will. Your hatred will burn you in the end.
Cheney is a great man and will be remembered as such. These two bit hit jobs will be a thing of the past when all is said and done.
AND Democrats will burn in hell for selling their souls to hate just to beat Bush. After Al Qaeda nukes us, you’ll get the last laugh, I am sure.

July 27th, 2007 at 12:33 pmAnd why would a YouTube Repug be any different than any other with those assclowns. All they ever do is try to channel ronnie raygunz back and pretend THEY are the Alzheimered B movie actor reincarnated.
They flip-flop all over the place like cockroaches on a hot skillet. Other than Ron Paul, none of them would know how to answer a non-staged question, unless it was whether they believed in Darwin’s theory and whether or not the earth was flat. (BTW, Most of them would answer NO to the first and YES to the latter.)

Now that’s very funny and probably true.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:33 pmThe GOP gets hit from every angle
Yeah right.
Mayor Giuliani, how do we get back to Ronald Reagan’s “morning in America”?
Senator McCain, most of the public pessimism today has to do with Iraq. How — what would you need, as commander in chief, to win the war in Iraq?
Do you need anything beyond what the president has now to win the war?
Recent polls in the Islamic world reveal a sea of hostility toward the United States, feeding what General Petraeus calls the central front of al Qaeda in Iraq.
How do we win this war if every dead terrorist is so easily replaced?
Governor Huckabee, I’d like to get your views about how you balance loyalty and accountability. Would you have fired Don Rumsfeld before last November?
This is a question for Senator McCain. It’s along those lines of intervention.
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson said that Iran has already committed acts of war. Do you agree? And secondly, as part of that, what’s your trip wire for a U.S. strike in Iran?
I could go on and on here, but where is anybody asking anything but powerpuff questions, like I said, saber rattling, bible and chest thumping, that’s about it.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:33 pmOr powderpuff, you pickit.

AND most importantly, instead of focusing on Romney’s mormonism, maybe the media would like to know a little more about Hussein Obama’s ties to dirty Muslims???

OK, I’ll bite…..WHY is Cheney a great man? Because he can get drunk and shoot a “friend” in the face?
But the real laugher is your lack of acceptance of reality that your butt-hole buddies Darth and his sockpuppet Dubya don’t want to fund the VA, give raises, upgrade their health care, cover up the death of a TRUE US hero, extend tours over and over, dump vets like used condoms when they can’t go fight anymore.
Just a few things to ponder while stroking to that autographed picture of Darth and his evil twin, Lynn.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:42 pm#78 – just because you deny it or the media doesn’t talk about it, doesn’t mean we won’t swiftboat Obama with it when the time is right. He is Muslim turned Christian (with a nutty preacher to top it off!) and we will point that out.
I am sure 51% of America will not vote for a Muslim. AND radical Congressman Keith Ellison is not helping their cause.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:42 pmLike it or hate it, Monday’s CNN/YouTube Democratic candidates debate may have represented a sea-change in direct citizen participation in the American presidential selection process. Which is why the GOP White House hopefuls appear to want no part of the September 17 YouTube event co-sponsored by the Florida Republican Party. As their empty podiums at the recent NAACP convention attest, like the current Oval Office occupant these Republicans apparently have no stomach for authentic, unscripted questions from the American people.

As a Democrat I care about EVERYONE’S rights, gay or otherwise. That is how ALL Americans should feel, regardless of party affiliation.

THAT is a huge assumption you made about our trolls’ intelligence here. Be careful!!
July 27th, 2007 at 12:51 pmHussein Obama. Get used to hearing it. It will sting. Republicans win and continue to move the Supreme Court to the right. There is nothing you can do about it.

July 27th, 2007 at 12:51 pmThe left is so hung up on gay rights, only if that gay person is a Democrat. If that person is a Republican, then you don’t care about their rights.

There is a strong possibility that the answer is “no.”

July 27th, 2007 at 12:52 pmThe first Youtube debate was stupid. It was the same questions that would have been asked by a moderator, but by crazy americans instead.
It was a total gimmick. If they had selected the videos randomly, or allowed people to select/rate the questions it would have been much better.
FFS they had a question about gay marriage asked by a lesbian couple… seriously… why?
July 27th, 2007 at 12:53 pm#99 – that’s crap. You want conservatives in jail – Karl Rove, Libby – you would clap if Cheney died.

After last November there will be no more movement right on the Supreme Court… Oh rightie… did you know Bush has been negotiating the North American Union which will make the US Supreme Court no longer THE Supreme Court but can be appealed beyond? Talking about being anti-American…

July 27th, 2007 at 12:57 pmWhen trying to defend the Mayor of New York, who told Peter Jennings on live tv that he had been told that the building were going to collapse prior to their collapse (even though that has never happened in history), the trolls will resort to name calling and inuendo about connections to Al Qaeda.
But ask them how their candidate knew building 7 was going to collapse because of fires on two floors.
Ask them why Guilliani stopped the body recovery process after they got the Swedish Gold and silver out of the vaults.
Ask them why Guilliani wasn’t in the emergency command center bunker in building 7 when the towers fell.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:58 pmIt is so pitiful that our trolls hate all muslims.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:58 pmAs a CC instructor, many of my former students were Somali immigrants who are devout muslims. To a person, their politness, eagerness to learn, and peaceful demeanor was a pleasure to see.
My database administrator, Ray is a Pakistani, a devout muslim, and a good friend.
If you troll jackasses would just get out of your freakin basements and meet some of these PEOPLE, you might get the chance to buy a clue.
99 – that’s crap. You want conservatives in jail – Karl Rove, Libby – you would clap if Cheney died.
No I want people who break the law in jail the same as I would support the Democratic senator from Louisana going to jail if convicted of bribery. The law does change because of the political affliation of the person charged.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:58 pmAND since Democrats have done nothing but lie about Bush/Cheney since 2000, they can’t cry foul.
Okay, I’m curious. What are the lies?
July 27th, 2007 at 1:00 pmRudy is busy fundraising and Mitt is just stupid. Now McCain has a chance to tell voters why he lied to the Tillman family about Pat Tillman being murdered. Yes Pat Tillman was murdered by a sharpshooter who killed him with two bullets to the head. I guess McCain is more loyal to the White House then he is his State. Fred Thompson would only allow people to know how stupid he is when he opens his mouth. Mitt might have a makeup, nail and hair appointment at that time. Mitt doesn’t know anything but he wants to look good while making an ass of himself.

July 27th, 2007 at 1:02 pmThe FBI website didn’t have OBL’s crimes listed with 9/11 for 3 years after the attacks. When asked why they finally admitted that they didn’t have that crime officially charged against him, because they had no proof he planned it.
Why did the highjackers passport survive the crash into tower 1; and the fire; and the collapse; and was “found” in the rubble when the pants pocket it was in, did not?
Why would the highjacker place his “will and testimate” in a bag that he was taking on the plane with him, that was conviniantly found at Logan airport?

By The Left Hates our Troops — July 27, 2007 @ 12:32 pm
Cheney’s hatred for all things constitutional and democratic has already burned us and the rest of humanity. Cheney’s hatred for our form of government — you know, the one with three co-equal branches, a system of checks and balances, separation of church and state, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law, the one that has sustained us for roughly 230 years, the one that was created “of the people, by the people and for the people” — burns us every day this administration remains in power and will continue to burn us for a long time to come. Cheney will be remembered alright, just like all the other despots of the world have been remembered — long and well and with intense loathing. Cheney has sown hatred; he will reap the same.
July 27th, 2007 at 1:35 pmThis discussion is all well and good. Except “We the Sheeple” may not have an election in 2008. Darth Cheney in the bowels of his bunker right now is burning the midnight oil planning his next provocative act, his next 9/11. After the Hell on Earth this Crime Cabal will put this great country through again, people will again rally around the Chimp. Oh, watch his ratings go up. People are sleeping, people are obsessed with their ipods, suvs, mtvs, their latest Lindsay Lohan update. All it will take is simulaneous nuclear devices going off in 6 major US cities the Sychophantic Obedient “Lamestream” Media will again feed us all with Propaganda.

July 27th, 2007 at 2:16 pmRomney, Rudi & Cheney are all as scared of reality and real questions as they are of women.

Any other questions, Trolls?

You may be right about 26% of our population. Fortunately the remainder are sane people with a sense of right and wrong and they see what the Bush Administration has become is very wrong.
And you, Hates, are so pathetic, it is hardly worthwhile wasting time to address your inane and insane posts.
July 27th, 2007 at 3:27 pmThe YouTube format is a totally dumbed down, worthless, piece of s*** format. EVERYONE should avoid it.
Idiotic white guys who present their questions by singing songs, moronic questions about the blackness of Obama, etc … what a waste of oxygen and airwaves.
July 27th, 2007 at 3:35 pmIn a real debate, the moderator has some responsiblity. In this format — none. They are right to bail out on this.
Comment by Cynicon Implant — July 27, 2007 @ 11:55 am
The point you miss is that there are no “real” debates anymore. My initial reaction to the YouTube idea was cynical – pop culture gang banging the process.
I’ve rethought that position. Because modern “debates” are so staged, with plastic politicians, fake moderators, and brainless MSM analyses, the YouTube forum at least allows for something outside of that box.
I’m no fan of dimwit anarchy often found on YouTube, but the processed, pasteurized, homogenized packaging that serves as political process today requires an infusion of democracy any way we can get it. If YouTube provides that injection, I’m all for it.
Of course, this would be terrifying to Republicans who live in their own little world, disconnected from external realities.
I think you are also wrong in implying that the “moderator” here has no responsibility. The YouTube submissions are certainly filtered.
Would I prefer are REAL debate? Sure. Wake me up from cryogenic freeze the next time that happens.
July 27th, 2007 at 4:23 pmI can’t wait until Hillary has to answer the real tough questions, like, “Do you believe that your husbands johnson is going impede your quest to the White House, again?’. Or how about, “Mrs Rodham Clinton, will you be selling sleep overs in the Lincoln bedroom as your husband did, and if so, how much, considering how well the economy is doing?”.
Republicans at least will answer questions and have questions asked of them about terrorist and terrorist attacks. They didn’t even mention the attacks on England. Not one question in the last two Democratic debates about Islamic Terrorist, in case you didn’t notice. Ignore them Hillary. Ignore them Obama. They might go away if we don’t mention them. You hardcore lefties are pulling this country so far left that you are actually helping the the middle of the road voters. Keep going as far left as you can take her, freaks.
July 27th, 2007 at 4:24 pmI hate to be a cynic, but it is working so well for the Democrats. AND it won’t matter if Obama is really a Muslim. Everyone will think he is. AND since Democrats have done nothing but lie about Bush/Cheney since 2000, they can’t cry foul.

You want to imprison anyone who does not think like you, put those neocons in jail! This country was founded on freedom of speech, let “The Fairness Doctrine” begin! Down with anybody who questions the left ever again. Teach their children that unprotected sex is good, and A.I.D.S. is nothing to worry about. That way, fewer neocon babies will exist.

“If your a socialist, say your a socialist. Don’t be afraid and hide.â€
Don’t be ridiculous. You guys have been using the “socialist†thing to scare and confuse the American people into believing that liberals in this country are the same as socialists/communism.
“You want higher taxes and more goverment, let us knowâ€
Conservatives have taken this to an extreme under the bush administration. Higher taxes and more government are no longer just for liberals! ;-)
“You want to imprison anyone who does not think like you, put those neocons in jail!â€
No, we want to see some sort of justice in this country. The constitution has been trampled on and conservatives have been running around acting as if the law doesn’t apply to them, and so far they’ve gotten away with it.
“This country was founded on freedom of speech, let “The Fairness Doctrine†begin! Down with anybody who questions the left ever again.”
Questioning the left is all you people ever do. Go for it, now we’re questioning you too, and exposing your hatred while we do it.
“Teach their children that unprotected sex is good, and A.I.D.S. is nothing to worry about. That way, fewer neocon babies will exist.â€
This statement could only be made by someone on the extreme right. This is crazy talk and is exactly what we want you guys to keep doing. Show us some more how crazy and outlandish you can be.

Little Johnny, whose mind seems to be in the john, it’s your dear president and vice-president who have been putting people in prison without charges. I love how you neo-cons complain about lack of “freedom of speech,” while TP freely allows you to post here, but several of the progressive/liberals here have been banned for trying to do the equivalent on redstate.
