CNN/Youtube Republican Debate Options

So I watched the Republican debate last night and then came home and checked the drudge and there is a big hoopla how a couple of questions taken were from *gasp* democratic supporters...

Personally I felt that the abortion and the don't-ask-don't-tell questions were one of the top five questions asked...I don't see why it is a big deal if they support the other party. These were important issues which needed to be addressed, and it just so happened that the ones addressing them were democrats....

I thought the purpose of debates was to give the ENTIRE American public (regardless of party affiliation) the ability to see what the candidates stand for...that was why I (a democrat) was watching it in the first place...so why can't the ENTIRE American public ask them questions?

Well, that proves how much you read...

The "hoopla" isn't about the fact that they were democrats, it was the fact that CNN touted these people were "undecided" voters but come to find out, they're hardcore supporters of different candidates.
