CNN's John King Demonstrates Why He Should Be Booted From The Airwaves And NEVER Again Be Allowed To Host A Presidential Debate (Video - GOP 2012 Debate)
IMPORTANT NOTE - For reasons I can't fathom, and after having embedded 15,000 videos on the Bail, this clip sometimes will NOT play when the page loads.
So just CLICK HERE to watch it. And try not to gag at the inane questions.
Runs 90 seconds.

Memo to John King - You are an embarrassment to journalism. How about 'this or that' questions that might spark actual debate.
- Too Big To Fail or Send Them To Jail?
- Illegal Wars or Legal Defense Of National Sovereignty?
- Jamie Dimon, Ben Bernanke or Send Both To Gitmo?
- Wall Street or Main Street?

The other six bozos were clearly paid-off politicians doing their business as usual!
I actually think that a Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich would be an ideal ticket. In my opinion, they are the only two honest representatives in government today.
How about grooving a question that would have been a fat softball down the center before the Fourth Estate went full-tilt retard--Do you support the rule of law or the rule of men?
I wonder how many of these pre-scrubbed meat puppets would even understand the question. With the exception of Paul (whose failure to support Kaptur's restore-Glass-Steagall legislation I find strange), this was a contest for the prettiest face to defend the indefensible, namely, the status quo.
Looks like four more years of hands-down the biggest loser of a president ever. Terrific.
With the exception of Paul (whose failure to support Kaptur's restore-Glass-Steagall legislation I find strange)...

I wasn't aware of that but i agree...that is ron paul's weakness in my view...his love of absolutely free markets devoid of all regulation...i watched a 15 minute clip of all his statements from last night's debate and he spends a few minutes on this theme...i don't know how he can call for less financial regulation after what we've been through...granted the regulators are captured and aren't worth jack shite, but to call for less regulation of wall street seems insane...his only saving grace in this regard is that he would allow failed banks to fail...yet still it bothers me...
at the same time, he is the champion of the anti-fed brigade, which in all honesty is the main reason i support him along with his views on ending the wars...he's a complicated candidate...but honestly, does anyone see any of them beating romney...i can smell the result already...romney vs. obama for 2012...and it will be a very close race...both love wall street and the Fed and both seem to love war...nothing is going to change in 2012, i am sad to say...
I agree with Bill Frank,
CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc, etc, etc are elite special interest propaganda organs period. If you want truthful information about anything other than catastrophic natural disasters, your not going to get it from any of those compromised bobble head puppet shows.
However they are out numbered 20 to 1 on their own networks and that means 19 times more bullshit to bury their truth.
If elections could really change anything they would not have them.
Why should you find this strange? if you did your homework and knew anything about his
ideals you would know; he is a strict constitutionalist, if it's not in the Constitution he won't vote for it,
besides, numerous regulations have only hurt the small business owners who don't have the big money
to pay off the right politician, like Gold-in my-sacks, AGI, etc. have. There are already plenty of anti-trust laws on the books to provide safeguards, the problem stems from the lack of enforcement of these laws.
If folks were willing to read in depth about his views, it makes perfect sense, back in 08 when he first
became known to me I checked him out thoroughly and at first was shocked by his ideas, until I really thought about it and wrapped my brain around it, then it became too obvious to me, like the forest from the trees thing, it was there all along, in the Constitution and Bill of rights, why do you think
the Nation prospered and became the richest economy around? then it was sold out in 1913 and
it's been going down ever since. I really think that Ron could bring it all back if given the chance, ahh but there's the rub, will he be given a chance? and if he were elected, how long would he be allowed to
live? Kennedy signed a not very well known Executive Order, # 11110(2) in June of 1963, only five months before the assassination. You can search for info on the Executive order if you don't know what it is. IMO All the other candidates are the same, they don't give a Damn about "We the people"
only about how much money and power they can accumulate, whereas Ron Paul IMO does genuinely care, he won't promise you your favorite wet dream and then not deliver, he is just the facts jack.
If I am wrong, I will eat my own shit stained shorts!
Glass-steagall protected the banking system for 60 years..not a single crisis...10 years after summers, rubin, greenspan, gramm and clinton got rid of it wall street blew up the economy...your understanding of this issue is very, very weak...

But you are right DB, Gramm Leach Bliley was a royal kick in the balls for the American people. But it was also a major boon to the bankster/ fraudster class. And both parties heralded it as a good deal for America.
The Wall Street crisis of 2008 has cost tens of trillions and the tab is STILL running...
This of course is true, and I also wondered why he would not vote to reinstate the act until I remembered that he will not support anything not provided for in the Constitution, which it is not; except in the "Commerce Clause"
The Commerce Clause has been the most widely interpreted clause in the Constitution, making way for many laws which, some argue, contradict the original intended meaning of the Constitution. Justice Clarence Thomas has gone so far as to state in his dissent to Gonzales,
“ Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything – and the federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.
The enumerated powers are a list of items found in Article I, section 8 of the US Constitution that set forth the authoritative capacity of the United States Congress. In summary, Congress may exercise the powers to which it is granted by the Constitution, and subject to explicit restrictions in the Bill of Rights and other protections found in the Constitutional text. The 10th Amendment states that all prerogatives not vested in the federal government nor prohibited of the states are reserved to the states and to the people, which means that the only prerogatives of the Congress (as well as the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch) are limited to those explicitly stated in the Constitution.
So in conclusion, Mr. Paul's no vote on the act is more proof to me that he stands behind what he believes in and will not sell it out even if it makes him unpopular, or is the Presidency still about who is the most popular, or who stands by the Constitution in which he swore to uphold?
Perhaps that is why there are no charges, everyone knows it is wrong, but deregulation and campaign contributions protect the guilty.
There are even greater calls for deregulation coming...
Look around you! If your not an ultra rich parasite it's already gone!
I dont care if Ron Paul had Ronald McDonaled, on his ticket..............!
