Today is January 20th, One year exactly 'til the next Inaugaration Day!

I thought I'd change things a bit to day, and ask two open questions instead of offering my opinion.

First question for Inauguration Day 2013 Minus -365:

We have just suffered through a series of a dozen debates between GOP candidates wherein we have tried to learn the answers to our questions as voters..... but have been stymied by the gotcha liberal media's constant efforts to put them all down.

From Diane Sawyer's whiny inane questions, to George Snuffleopolises clueless approaches in totally partisan questions.... to last night's fiasco with the Commie News Network using hatchet boy and pea brained John King as moderator, it has gotten worse and worser!!

Now here is my question..... the Republicans are supposed to be conservative, astute business oriented citizens. Why in God's name do they turn these debates over to these left wing kooks? Let's face it, the ratings have been good despite the inept and even evil intent of the moderators ... it's the greatest 'reality show' of the year --- Who will get voted off the island next?

So why didn't the Republican National Committee (RNC) at the beginning of the year, package the debates, pick the venues, hire professional debate moderators trained in the Socratic method of conducting debates (not sound bites) and then offer these off as individual programs for bid to the networks?

The networks would have fumed at lack of control and direction, but there is no way they would have passed...... looking at the ratings, this would be cost effective prime time broadcast hours for them. And regardless of their miserable leftist ways, money talks!

Years ago (many years ago) PBS had a weekly series of Socratic debates between experts and moderated by a professor of the Socratic method...... it was a true learning experience and mesmerizing .

I ask...................... Why not?

Next January 20th, we'd know a hell of a lot more than we do now.. ... a show of hands on dumb questions not withstanding.

Why don't you e-mail the RNC and ask them?
