Democratic Debate Talk Clock

America -- land of equality…of equal opportunity, but in the past six years that so called “fairness” has vacated the ranks of business and government.

In the 2008 presidential election, more is at stake than war, poverty and healthcare. The ability for skilled individuals, with reasonable unsullied thoughts to break the chains of ill-bred public perception is also on the line.

How can we as a nation return to justice, and lead in the world with impartiality to all, if our own presidential election has already been handicapped over 500 days before the final voting?  

Worse than giving the impassively brittle Wolf Blitzer more air time than senior statesmen Joe Biden and Mike received Gravel combined, was the fact that from the coverage to the way the

candidates were positioned on stage the media was showcasing pure unwavering favoritism. The catchphrase for decision 2008’s media should be “We decide, you tag along.” If the first debate featured the Clinton/Obama/Edwards situated in the middle it would have only been proper for the second to place Kucinich/Gravel/Dodd in the center.

Forget lining up by height, age or alphabetical order like elementary schools are sophisticated enough to do.

Preliminary debates for the most imperative assessment of our time will be conducted like a seventh grade class treasurer election. And it’s by no fault of any of the frontrunner candidates, their staffs or any supporters or activist.

It’s purely the premeditated gaffe of CNN, MSNBC etc… Over hundred years ago philosophers, war heroes, civil servants, and the nation’s political elite debated with passion, and were chosen based on merit and validity of ideas.

Now Chris Matthews, Carville and Carlson get screen time to discuss a candidate’s wardrobe and how their spouses come across. 

It is more apparent than ever that the news organizations have compromised our election process.
