unbelievable... I don't really know what I can say right now, I'd have to think it over to give a more cohesive response, but what really frustrates me is that, probably, none of these comments are going to do much good. Even when the "power" is given to the "people," we're not the ones running the show. At all.

Mac, they are republicans, what answer did you expect? Romney would have quoted the book of nephi to you, mccain doesnt know what gay people are, Huckabee would have stoned you, Tracredo would have deported you and rudy, well rudy would have put on a dress and tried to date you.

A debate of their own party? Isn't that like when you play tic tac toe against yourself? You know what's coming and you still look crazy...

Here's why in metaphorical form: It would be like asking the various members of old South African Nationalist party competing for party leader how they can justify apartheid. More literally, the question attacks the premises assumed by the candidates and party in general, log cabin notwithstanding. Now, you can claim, "No, I seriously want to knowm," but as you know, there is no rational reasoning behind it. So you attack the premise and are therefore deemed a grenade

Unfortunately, the people don't YET have the power. YT scares the s**t out of the republican because it is a crack in the wall of power that separates the rich few from the masses that work to make them rich. BUT they can only say "let them eat cake" for so long before the people will take their just desert. The power of the pen (or YT) IS mightier than the sword, we must just learn how to utilize it effectively. You are making a start with this.

BUT then, it is the CNN selection team that has the choice here. I can't help but wonder when the "old" medium of communicating will truely recognize if they don't get on board with the "new" medium they will fade into being the "dead" medium. To be fair, CNN is taking a baby step by having these YT debates, but they still operate under the fear of the powerful money mongruls.

Are you really that surprised Matt? This is typical of republicans. Lobbying grenades are of course a term made by their own lobby in an effort to avoid those type of questions. they know that if their candidates are asked these question and they express their opionions and intetions about the issue they will loose the support of swing voters. It is not a debate for their party because they are all homophobic and agree that gay rights need to be fully oppressed!

tap, tap, tap .. is that the sound of a toe in the stall next to me? Tax paying, legal citizens won't have all the freedoms they deserve until enough of the republican hipocrits get caught climbing under the divider!

Hey, wait a minute! I recognize that guy (Jon)... He's the one who freaked me out with those anonymous text messages and YOU put him up to it! (LOL!) Oh yeah, I'm supposed to be commenting on the topic of your video...

Well, I can definitely see how hearing about and reading that article caused you to become enraged. CNN probably has representatives from all of the campaigns sitting around hand-picking the questions their candidates will and won't answer. Gotta love American politics, huh? *Nick*

Wait a second, didn't they allow the Democrat debate to have that kind of question? Foul play detected. Which is funny because I've been often told that CNN has a pro-democrat bias.

CNN has increasingly become a disappointment over the last few years, spending more of its time being cowed by, e.g., the Republican National Committee and the Bush administration than doing what the channel's promos claim, i.e., "keeping them honest." You make a compelling case for this question being part of a debate of and within the Republican Party. I suspect CNN has been told that if wants this debate, it will dispose of such questions. The cancer of Fox News has spread, alas to say.

That is just plain wrong, dodging such important questions is not a good way to do anything, Youtube needs to stop beig such idiots. If those two questions are enough to scare poeple to censorship...
