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...

Here's the link:

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?

So you are saying if you are a Republican, you are a Christian? That's kinda odd. I know a lot of people who vote Republican for fiscal reasons, instead of moral reasons.

No I'm not saying if you're a Repulican you're Christian. All I'm saying is the question was relevant. People want to know about the candidates. We are, after all, choosing someone to represent us. Giving more pointed questions like the Jesus question or the "What guns do you own?" question say a lot more, and are a lot more interesting IMHO. Someone who has an arsenal and enjoys shooting is more likely to support gun owner's interests than someone who just says "Yeah I support gun rights". Someone who is willing to say they believe the Bible is the word of God is more likely to share the same moral convictions of religious voters than someone who answers an easier question (some typical debate question like "Are you religious?").

edit: blah... blaarq beat me to it ah well.
