CNN Dem debate 1/21/08: one weak immigration question
CNN Democratic debate January 21, 2008: one weak immigration question
Tonight's CNN "debate" ( http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/21/debate.main/ ) was as worthless as all the others have been, featuring just one very basic, very weak question about immigration matters. Joe Johns - CNN "reporter" who left whatever little journalistic integrity he had back in Jena, LA - asked:
Senator Obama, we all know what universal health care is, as Senator Clinton just said, sort of the idea that everybody deserves health care. And I have not been able to sort of zero in on your position on this one question: Does your plan cover the estimated 12 million or so illegal immigrants in the country?
Well, because I think we've got limited resources. And it is important for us that, when we've got millions of U.S. citizens that aren't yet covered, it's important for us to make sure that they are provided coverage.
At least John Edwards was honest enough (OK, that's not a logical explanation, but there must be some sort of explanation) to include that in his reply to the same question:
And if that is married to comprehensive immigration reform, so that people who are living here undocumented actually have a chance to become American citizens, then I think they've got the opportunity to become part of the plan.
If you'd like to do something about this, please go to campaign appearances, ask tough questions, and upload the responses. That will not only inject policy into the presidential campaigns, it will help show just how bad a job the MSM does.
UPDATE: Now, lightweight and biased "reporter" Soledad O'Brien hosts a roundtable on immigration featuring four political consultant types, two black, two Hispanic. Oddly enough, all of them appear to be supporters of amnesty. Why, it's almost as if CNN doesn't want a real debate about this issue or something.

I was so pissed after this debate I went straight to CNN and let them know how worthless they are and how the rhetoric was pathetic, the worst debate yet! And Wolf did a terrible job, it was a waste.

Debates are useless for info. they simply feed the Dems. softball questions and provide ample time so the candidates can dig themselves out from stupid answers.
I'm old with many opinions few solutions.

Didn't anyone catch what Hillary came back with during the health debate? She said "but I am not going to leave 15 million "Americans" out just because they cant afford coverage.(?) She was talking about 15 million illegals.
