A Closed Public Debate?

It looks like one of the rare Democrat debates between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will be a closed door session. Now why in the hell would the Democrats want a closed debate?

What exactly is a closed debate, Democrat style? Well, it looks like only Clinton and Obama campaign, the University of Texas, the Texas Democrat Party and CNN and the major US Spanish speaking network, Univision. So yes, with a crowd like this you know there will be no serious questions and there will be lots of standing ovations to answers that really are no answers at all.

This kind of debate is for those in academia and the liberal press. This will not shed any new light into what these two candidates think. We already know what they think and believe and what they want to do when they get into office.

The question will be who can out liberal each other. Well to be honest, Obama has that one in the bag. Barack has given few if any real details on his plans for the economy or Iraq other than to pander to the left with great flowery speeches that make you feel good but in the end, leave you feeling empty.

Why would you feel empty? Because Barack doesn't tell you what he is going to do or how is planning on doing it. I am sure if he wins the Democrat nomination he will have to start being more deliberate and insightful in his answers to how he is going to accomplish his lofty goals. At least I would hope that John McCain would not let him (or Hillary) get away with being superficial on their policies.

The point is, this is typical Democrat politics. Keep the public out because they are too stupid to know whats best for them. Only the academic world and the press know what the right questions to ask are. Only the people in high ivory towers are good enough to get close to the candidates and ask questions of substance. Oh wait. If real people are not allowed into the debate arena, there will not be real questions asked that real people care about.

What you will hear at this debate is how President Bush has screwed up the war on terror and the battle in Iraq. What you will hear is how Bush and his friends caused the mortgage crisis. What you will hear is that the rich are to blame for our economy and they should be taxed higher and how those who don't pay any taxes need a tax break. What you will hear is we have a health care crisis even though we have the most efficient and admired health care system in the world. What you will hear is how there needs to be universal health care and the cost be damned.

You wont hear any logic in this debate. You wont hear how they truly intend to pay for all their programs. You wont hear how their social programs now in place have failed to produce the results they (the Democrats and Liberals) promised. You wont hear how their control of Congress has led to the lowest approval rating in history. You wont hear any thing substantial or meaningful. And you surely wont hear either candidate tell the truth about how they feel about each other.

Hillary hates Barack. He is an uppity black man who doesn't know his place. Barack hates Hillary because she is just a back stabbing power grabbing white trash bitty from the south. Well maybe this debate will be worth watching after all. Then again, I think I have to file my cats teeth so I will be too busy.
