Yes, we have a mole in the production staff at CNN, and they’ve managed to uncover a few of the questions:
Michelle Bachmann, a question for you. You’ve attempted to appeal to “values voters” by touting your Christian faith. As president, how long after your inauguration would you wait before outlawing all other religions? Would you actually execute the non-Christians, or would you allow them to convert?
Newt Gingrich–in the past several debates, your encyclopedic knowledge of U.S. history, your refusal to “roll over” in the face of “ridiculous” questions from debate moderators, and obvious intelligence have made our handpicked candidate, Mitt Romney, look bad. Therefore, we will not be asking you any questions this evening.
Ron Paul, your Plan to Restore America would cut a trillion dollars in so-called “wasteful, unconstitutional” spending from the Federal budget in 2013 and would balance the budget in three years. Do you plan to kill helpless senior citizens with your bare hands, or will you be outsourcing this heartless mass murder to the death cult known as the Tea Party?
Herman Cain, as the token House Slave bought and paid for by your massahs in the Republican party, you are clearly a token and an Uncle Tom. Would you mind cleaning up the stage after the debate? Remember to sweep under all the podiums.
Frontrunner Mitt Romney, you receive roughly 25 times more free media coverage from outlets like CNN than all other GOP candidates combined, yet you’ve never managed to score above 30% in the polls or win a significant straw poll. You’re so disliked by grassroots GOP voters that even Saturday Night live has made you the butt of jokes. Frontrunner Mitt Romney, what are we doing wrong? Do we need to add you to our staff? What if we just renamed CNN the Romney News Network until we’ve engineered your nomination? Are there any “November Surprises” we can spring on your opponents? GOP Frontrunner Mitt Romney, are you comfortable? Can I get you a beverage or snack? Did you get the flowers we sent?

Why does the GOP agree to debate after debate hosted by, run by, moderated by their political enemies. I am SO TIRED of this arrangement..
I was on, then CNN died… I reloaded, and reloaded, and finally am in.
At least CNN didn't get Britney Spears to ruin the National Anthem.
The guy singer sang it "straight-up" and presto.
Perry has got to have plans and policies for something other than energy!
Santorum is really taking it to Romney. Wooohooo!!
I am disgustipated with Cooper encouraging the tear-down between the candidates. The Romneyites are out in force, cheering almost as loudly as the Dems and Liberals who are watching. This jab-out is building the leads for tomorrow's LSM attacks on the Reps.
I am not impressed by the blatant bullying going on between the two boys. Perry and Mittens look petty talking about household help and shouting each other down..
Good for Bachmann, bringing the debate back to the real issue–the policies of the teleprompter reader in chief! Any of the bunch on stage is better qualified than who we have now. Even, I shudder to say it, Frothy Santorum.
Mittens is sooooo snarky and smarmy. It is obvious he fears Perry.
Equal time? It seems like Mitten is speaking more than 1/2 the time, and the rest get to split the remnants. What is the reason?
"I'm a (liberal democrat plant) Latino, and I want to know how big a handout the Reps are going to promise us."
Good question. Do you see how pained Cooper looks when the crowd cheers one of them, though?
Cooper: "Okay, Mittens, I've engineered it so you can have an uninterrupted pitch of how good a President you will be (but we at CNN will massacre you in the general) so pitch it like you mean it."
Mittens tries to sound presidential.
Cooper: "And now (before anyone can say anything) we need to break!"
Cooper: "…we'll see who has the best chance to beat Barak Obama…"
Cooper is a lying piece of excrement. He wants nothing more than for the entire Rep Party to disappear so that the Dems can reign supreme and unchallenged for 1,000 years.
Cooper: "Governor Romney has the best chance of beating Obama…"
Yeah, Cooper-dude, tell us the LSM lies.
It looks like Kevin has a blog going on this… see you there…
