CNN/YouTube Republican Debate: The 89% question

[DawsonLodge]

Only 6 in Congress and 0 Senators

voted to save the Constitution. It's

gone......

[profeardaus]

and not to mention THE WHOLE WORLD !( the lying I mean )

[WhatIsWhatBe]

jmack619 I agree about Bush. He is trying to pardon himself

[SenorStrange]

What lie? Come out of fantasy land. We don't impeach presidents because you disagree with them. It isn't going to happen. Snap out of it.

[thebigbossnahhh]

Majorities Impeach Presidents; Which we have in abundance!

[Freshmanwave]

Umm...if Clinton got impeached for lying about consensual oral sex, Bush can get impeached for lying about tax cuts (not even mentioning other impeach-able offences).

Bush (in debate against John McCain, 2000): "By far the vast majority of my tax cuts go to those at the bottom."

Reality? The bottom 60% got only 14.7% of that cut.

To me, taxes are more important than oral sex. Don't know about you.

[videocrash]

best question...perfect!

[rg321123]

You should ask a question about Scott McCullen

and Libby and lets see who still supports Libby. Ron Paul was the only one on stage in early summer who said he would not pardon him.

[rg321123]

Excellent question Davis. But I'm sure CNN will never allow a question like that to be asked. The media & Congress would never consider following the law so to speak or reporting the facts. Hmm Nigerian yellow cake comes to mind.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

Anyone who disagrees with him disagrees with... pretty much the entire world, we all think very much the same and you being the odd man out must be pretty embarrassing. If you don't like his videos then don't watch them, plain and simple if your not an immature little kid.

[jumpinjack1]

Impeach? Hey fruitcake why dont you wash your brain out with some bleach and try to clean out all that political CNN propaganda (AKA BS) or are you to fargone to know any different Oh and send more money donations to this network so they can come up with more planted questions undecided voter!!

[crazy2004]

Fyi, online polls are not scientific and therefore are not accurate. Try using a real source next time.

[Ralphdraw3]

However, it is true that George Bush and Dick Cheney lied to the nation in order to get our country into a war with Iraq, correct?

[chgoyette]

And it is also true that 89% of a segment of the population, a more politically active segment I might add, think George Bush should be impeached.

Does Congress have the sack? Noooooooo! As a group, they are gutless bastards!

[Viragobob]

Again, a stupid question. Therefore it has a good chance of being chosen by the Clinton News Network to try and tear America down a little further.

Why can't you liberals go to France where you're wanted?

[artleigh]

Too bad we Liberals defeated Nasi Germany. It would be the perfect place for you.

[Viragobob]

Nazis WERE liberals - National Socialist Party, duh! It was a huge effort to defeat socialism then and if liberals take over it will be all that and more again.

[Freshmanwave]

Wrong! Socialism does not mean liberal (which does not necessarily mean left-leaning). The Nazis practiced right-wing socialism. The liberal doctrine supports individual rights, such as opposing wire-tapping.

[chgoyette]

It's not a liberal versus conservative issue, ViagraBob. It's such a pathetically limp-dick argument :0))))

Come on, man, the future health of our country and our freedom is at stake.

BTW, why do you listen to this channel?

[Viragobob]

I don't listen to this channel - I happened to click on it out of curiosity. Although I will get emails if/when there's a reply to anything I write here, I will not be back to read it/them - I have much better things to do with my time than get in what you call a "limp-dick argument". :)

[eastwood13]

No question they should be impeached...They lied to congress and the American people for their own personal agenda and thousands died as a result...all Nixon did was bug a hotel room, you do the math...

[WhatIsWhatBe]

We only have 1 more year of this idiot in our white house anyways, he should of been impeached the moment we started attacking Iraq. even though getting Saddam out was a good thing, the bottom line is, he did it without the United Nations consent. and hes the only president i believe to ever do that.

[jmack619]

saddam was the only person who could control the crazies over there . He ruledwith an iron fist an lots or power . Bush should be tried for war crimes . found guilty ,

[strypzstarz]

MSNBC as your source? For a question targeting the CNN Debates?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

MSNBC earns their (pathetic) ratings from feeding histrionic red meat off the desks of Olbermann and Matthews. Pandering for the ratings. 89% of what? The demographically-meaningless minority who actually watch that dreck?

[5lodown]

at the Very LEAST, nixon had enough humble pie

(yuuuck!can't believe i just said that,)to resign,,, the Us and the rest of the world became crazy after that...with thatcher ,reagan, and mulroney up here,and turbo capitalism...war more wars arrogant religions

et maintenant?

no one will touch bush, or chenney(has he died yet?)AT LEAST FILE AND RUB IN THEIR FACES

AT least SMEAR THEM...will congress have the guts?

Where are the people, where has civilization gone?

[theconstitution2]

So are we gonna impeach all 435 congressman, 100 senators, Hillary, Kerry etc for looking AT THE SAME INTELLIGENCE REPORTS THAT BUSH USED TO DETERMINE WE SHOULD GO TO WAR? Why are liberals so narrow-minded?

[irishmonkey]

The man at the top has to be accountable.

[joshfif]

no just bush and chaney

[strypzstarz]

Because they are fixated on the notion that they are smarter than anyone else. Ergo, the "Intelligentsia's Burden" to save the world from free thinking Individualists. It boggles their minds that others don't fall into lockstep with their inane, irrational beliefs. Their solution? Do everything possible to silence dissent.

[strypzstarz]

Cont. . .

Ask David Horowitz, ("Radical Son"), who grew up with working American Communists for parents. Who was one of "them," till he had an awakening and realized their threat to freedom and individualism. The so-called "FREE SPEECH Generation" has decided they have a lock on the truth and the light--and anyone who thinks differently should SHUT UP. And if you won't, they'll shout you down. Or find an agreeable judge to silence your voice.

[Gugguggug]

There is plenty of evidence that Bush and Cheney manipulated the process to come up with the 'intelligence' that they wanted to justify the war. That's the crime.

[jmack619]

no it,s like baseball ,you fire the coach

[InfidelOnTheGo]

A) MSNBC viewers are the Communist filth that think CNN is TOO Right-Wing, there opinions don't matter + That pole was from people all over the world, not just America.

B) George Bush has done nothing to earn impeachment. Deal with it, Clinton was impeached, Bush WILL NOT BE!!!!

HAHA suck Libtards!

[33115566]

Prepare for Iraq to be sold as a tremendous success in the media in 2008. The Iraqi government is openly espousing preferential treatment to American business interests. That poll seems bogus.

[ShaggyTheClown17]

If the majority of us want him impeached, there has to be something done quick, before the election, before Bush can leave a permanent mark on us binding us to do whatever the president says.

One thing is for sure, we the people will not tolerate things much longer.

Great video Davis! 8)

[nowar08]

great question, i wish it would make the debate

[J1Goro]

Overnight the US became a tyranny in which people could be arrested and incarcerated on the basis of unsubstantiated accusation. Both US citizens and non-citizens were denied habeas corpus, due process, and access to attorneys and courts. Congress gave Bush legislation establishing military tribunals, the procedures of which permit people to be condemned to death on the basis of secret evidence, hearsay, and confessions extracted by torture.

[J1Goro]

Is our Congress going to impeach?

[phloridababe]

suppoer the H res. 799/333. support kucinich! call, bitch, complain, "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" kinda thing. please help with returning our country into a republic again! blessings to all!

[tsycear]

You might as weel ask to impeach everyone who keeps voting to spend more money in Iraq, they are just as guilty. I think the only ones calling for this are democrats who are still mad about the Bill Clinton thing.

[TheGiantRobot]

I'm not a Democrat, I didn't like Clinton, and he has nothing to do with this. I want Bush and Cheney impeached and thrown in jail along with most of their crew for breaking the laws of our land and committing despicable acts. I don't care what party they claim to represent.

[ciarrella]

good question. please air it cnn.

[sharpsteve2003]

After they are impeached they should be charge with war crimes and treason along with Rumsfeld and Gonzales. Then maybe send them to Gitmo for some "enhanced interrogation" so maybe we can know the real truth about 9/11.

[helmetsuck]

dumb-ass question. impeachment will never happen...pelosi already stated that is not on the table nor will it..

get off the hate bush crap and start holding canidates that voted for this war accountable..

and i'd add, who in the hell is raising our debt...DEMOCRATS...they have the checkbook and nothing gets spent without there support. take a damn shower buddy..

[naturalissue]

i dont think this question will ever make it.

[freekrolik]

you want to argue, argue about how the hell we invaded Iraq without a case against it... BOOOOOOOooooo nice futur for the planet...

[cmanw]

Great question, but good luck getting them to air this one. I can only imagine their responses!

[Weathered22]

I don't think you can impeach Bush or Cheney, because it was pretty much the entire government who let us down. Only a handful of people in the Senate or the House stood up to try and talk sense into the rest of Congress, but they were silence by the supposed "War on Terror" movement...hopefully people are starting to wake up now, and we can correct the mistake we/they made.

[goodinohio]

Idiot.

[kchandler2]

That poll is meaningless and so is your stupid question. Why dont I can just create an online poll and put it on a republican blog site and than use it to present my argument?

This Breaking Poll just in:

When will you stop using AD HOMINEN atacks 89% of america is sick of your bankrupt ideas! (poll conducted on my blog site)

[Fastillion]

So... let me get this straight. You're telling me that while the American people SUPPORT Bush and don't want him impeached... a dark conspiracy comes from MSNBC to do it, AGAINST the will of the American people??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jaegrady]

good luck getting a straight answer!

[pudgenet]

For anyone who thinks that MSNBC poll accurately reflects the general population, I've got this really neat jar full of cold water that actually *creates* energy. I call it "cold fusion." It can be yours for the low low price of $99.99! Amaze your friends! Win a Nobel Prize!

[Guynoire11]

When will people learn? Online polls are not scientifically valid, they do not accurately reflect the general population or even the population of people who vote in the general election. Online polls are worthless and should be ignored.

[1DRock37167]

Great question, hope you get an answer!

[drp1zza]

God, you are good man.

[gordonbloyershow]

Dennis, that poll was not a scientific poll. The respondents were you and the Kucinich/Ron Paul nutballs. NO ONE is going to be impeached. Remember Bill did have sex with that woman.

[drp1zza]

So what you fucking right nut sucking republican bitch! Bill fucked a woman, Bush fucked a country.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

[Drmachin]

Haaaa.

Here is the good old question. Semen or blood, witch make the ugliest stains?

I wonder what would Jesus say?

[Fringe111]

This is one of those questions they won't touch. I'm beginning to think they parse out the questions with the help of the campainge reps. really!!!!!!!

[13generation13]

I can see the answer now: "See that people? Anti-Bush guys like to look at silly biased internet polls, where you can vote as many times as you wish, with no true statistical value." Can't you come up with a better question? It's almost like you're a GOP plant.

[SouliaBoy]

of course they're all going to say no he shouldnt be impeached. interesting question, but won't get an interesting answer. i mean, do you really think they'll take that poll seriously? people can vote multiple times on the internetz.

[msdragonfly1]

no, then we would have to live with dick!

[Suzbekistan]

Impeach Cheney First!

[Largo64]

Impeachment won't happen. Not because it shouldn't -- we all know it should, but because there isn't a single backbone among all the members of congress. Their collective osteoporosis is so pronounced they look as a group as if they are bent at the waist ready to take it in the shorts from Bushco.

[momerath42]

Great question, though I doubt it will get asked. I would hope my favorite candidate would answer like this:

There is every reason to believe that President Bush has committed impeachable offenses. I believe a formal investigation should be done, and impeachment moved forward according to the process the founding fathers intended. My recent vote on Congressman Kucinich's bill reflects this to the extent that a yea or nay can.

[elihalz]

Great Question but we need a great answer. Congress?

[YourSuperiorSays]

keep rocking fleetwood.

[Amy31415]

Clinton gets impeached for lying about a blowjob, yet Bush doesn't get impeached for lying about Iraq and essentially causing the death of thousands of young Americans? Not to mention squandering billions of dollars?

Ridiculous!

[nativeops]

don't forget about the invasion and murdering civilians.

[MonsterSound]

514,773 of 578,397 say Yes to impeach the Imperial President. Maybe there is hope after all?

[mrpickles4pres]

Best. Question. Ever.

[Suzbekistan]

I agree! Share this video with all your friends, and don't forget to rate and comment! Does CNN have the balls to allow this question to be asked? Show us your orbs, CNN!

[DangerousTalk]

great question!!!

[nbwulf]

Good question but they don't have the balls to air it.

[truefictions]

CNN will not have the balls to use this question, and it is no doubt a good one.

An other good question IMO, should anyone decide to post it for the debate would be "If you (the candidate) become President, will you support the Universal National Service Act of 2007 (H.R. 393)? In other words will you make military service mandatory in the US?

[abruzz0]

Back to back impeachments. And another Clinton is the "front runner?" I wonder who doesn't see a pattern here.

[Veggieforce]

what exactly would impeaching the president now accomplish? just wait for the election (do not open till xmas)

[JRock589]

So principal doesnt matter anymore?

The american people should simply let it slide because it's "To late", well, I certainly hope the next bugger president todo this (Which there will be, the way your people vote) wont happen to score the "It's to late, your stuck with me" card out of his ass.

[illusionofsafety07]

WHAT can he accomplish in a year anyway, spread the war to Iran, increase our debt by anther 200 billion, spy on a few thousand more citizens, kill 200 more solders.......ya lets just wait till next year :)

[lidixmang]

1.) Justice - treason is a crime

2.) Peace - Bush causes global tension

3.) Evolution - Bush must be made an example of what our future Presidents must never become

[killert00thbrush]

Wise Question...

[hahayouarefunny]

Great question; nice use of statistics.

[CitizenWorm]

Check out the YouTube Channel DecemberFourth2007 to get involved in our impeachment efforts! Thanks.

[juicr500]

You need to oust the VP before going after GWB.

[yougottabFNkiddingme]

or, for the first time in history, a double impeachment! (if they donT commit suicide first).

[juicr500]

A Christmas wish?

[yougottabFNkiddingme]

an everyday thought!

[yougottabFNkiddingme]

do unto others...

if i was the shrub i would have definitely hung it up by now. those people have NO decency!

[ElCarcho]

Love the question, 5 stars.

You and I both know it will never be asked.

Its a sad world.

[HaleyMary]

This is an excellent question, Davis. 89%? That is a huge percentage. I hope you get an answer to this question.

[TruthTaste]

Noone should be impeached based on public opinion polls, heads would be rolling in congress, lol.

[WhoRadley]

Citing MSNBC for a CNN debate? Maybe not the best idea.

[hahayouarefunny]

"Citing MSNBC for a CNN debate? Maybe not the best idea." - WhoRadley

While I agree that this could hurt you, it is possible that it will help. Maybe CNN will see this as positive - showing CNN's commitment to diverse sources for a well-balanced presidential debate.

CNN, if you're reading this - keep my point in mind!

[v4vendettarox]

i wanna hear the canidates answer to this one!!! go davis!

[AntiBullS]

we should impeach him before his administration starts another war with Iran . I believe this is inevitable as long as Bush is in the office .Write it down that I said that . No escape .

[jamesmorgandavies]

....

( crickets )

[TheoVanDerDeer]

they won't answer that question

[highway39]

Would you like some dessert with that question?....

[libassbug]

You forget that impeaching Bush would leave Chenney as President. Be careful what you wish for.

[beachbumde]

Way to put em on the spot, Davis! I hope that your question get used. I would love to hear all of their responses!

[hollyhoodjoe123]

This is a pointless question.

Online polls are biased sample and is not scientific, so they don't take the views of the average american.

My question would be "Which one of you love Jesus more?"

And watch all of them quabble about who loves Jesus more!!!

[gravel2008]

Even better:

'Which one of you loves Ronald Reagan more?'

[jdfox37]

...LOL. That would indeed be fantastic.

[zombo611]

The bigger question is will they go after the administration all of the people that had anything or knew anything about Val Plame leak can and should be on trial for Treason PERIOD! That is just a start.

[antiglobalists]

they wont say anything..they are all in on the cover up

[talismania]

doubt they'll ask it... all of the candidates will just say no.

[mohammadbbs]

I don't think they're going to present your question in the next Youtube debate ... after all you've been hired by the kucinich campaign and that would make you biased ... no ?

[PatriotFact]

I dont know if you saw the last Democrat CNN debate (not the YouTube one). It was full of planted questioners. See a video here on YouTube called "CNN: The Politics of Planting".

[gravel2008]

Happens all of the time. CNN doesn't like to let people who challenge the mainstream vocalize themselves, the reason Kucinich got so little time, and the reason Sen. Gravel wasn't invited.

[frankscola]

What ever happen to By the People For the people.

[julesandmax]

Excellent question.

[SexxySue14]

get that dumbass bush out of office

[Talljim01]

They wont impeach him now, because there is only a year left in his term, 2nd term at that, and most of them will be busy in the campaigns.

[sueyetta]

Great question

[PatriotFact]

The only guy in Congress pushing for Impeachment is the one who believes in UFOs, Dennis Kucinich. Think about that Davis, I say that the Impeachment crowd has a quite a fitting leader. You are a fitting cheerleader for these characters to boot. I bet you voted for Nader in 2000 or didnt even vote.

[davisfleetwood]

PATRIOTFACT

Ronald Regan saw UFO's.

What say you?

[gravel2008]

Here's what I say...

It was wrong of you to endorse ANY candidate, Davis. Not that Kucinch is a bad candidate, but you've reached the realm of being known as a source of information, and it taints you.

[PatriotFact]

I don't doubt that Davis was tainted by the Kucinich PAC money. I bet if you would have given him some "walking around money first" he would have supported you instead. I still think he was a Nader guy in 2000 but more than likely he didn't vote at all (that hasn't stopped him from complaining about Bush Jr for the last 6 years though). All Davis cares about is money. Democrat Politics these days reminds me about what you used go on at Tammany Hall.

[PoliticalAnalysis]

Politics works a bit like the horse-race nowadays.

Don't get me wrong, Fleetwood makes good points, but an endorsement period was a bad idea. I don't doubt that money played a role, particularly if you look at his channel description.

[LYONSPOTTER]

[Sarcasm to follow]

Way to go Patriot"Fact", way to post a completely unrelated and irrelevant comment. How about you stay on topic, eh?

[freidabee]

Dude, were 100 videos on a voluntary basis not enough for you? Do you support your family with money like 99.99999% of the rest of us? Do you have religious beliefs that are violated by a person getting hired to do what he believes in? I'm just sayin'.

[AustralianStallion90]

It has NOTHING to do with whether he believes in Kucinich or not, and all to do with the fact that he is a "journalist" (self proclaimed) and has a large conflict of interest. You can't be objective, and be paid for being not at the same time.

[freidabee]

I've watched the videos. I haven't really heard him claim objectivity. Open-mindedness a bit maybe, but never objectivity. He seems pretty biased toward the left. Is that wrong if those are his beliefs?

Nice interaction and I will see what's posted later. Gotta go.

[nsmather]

I fail to see how posting a question as an individual is a conflict of interest. He didn't loose his right to ask questions as a private citizen when he began working for the Kucinich campaign.

[AustralianStallion90]

This is entirely irrelevant to the question. You are missing the point.

[nsmather]

And where exactly is your evidence for all of these claims? Seems like nothing but speculation (at best) and attacking the motive and/or an ad hominem abusive- both of which are fallacious. Davis' question is a legitimate one, whether or not it will get asked.

[minstral2]

The question Davis asks is legitimate, and one I am am sure many people would like to know. There is no conflict of interest, in fact I would like to see each one of the candidates respond to the question including Ron Paul.

[AustralianStallion90]

VERY much agreed. Have been saying this for awhile.

[klard]

I liked believing you lived in a cave. It gave me hopes of someday having my own nice safe cave. Please tell me you were using the computer at a friends house.

[TruthTaste]

People wanting someone to be impeached isn't enough, a crime has to have been commited, what a brave man you are to do the most popular thing right now, knock bush, ugh, slum lords like you make me want to puke.

[gravel2008]

'Do the most popular thing right now'

Isn't that how democracy works?

[AustralianStallion90]

No. No it isn't.

[gravel2008]

Pretty sure I would know. Click my user-name...

[AustralianStallion90]

So you are someone who works for Mike Gravel? This makes you a resident expert on all things democracy?

Following everyone is not democracy. Being able to, well that's democracy.

[gravel2008]

Yes, you see, that was my point.

It was a cynical point.

[AustralianStallion90]

Ah, I see.

I had just interpreted differently.

[gravel2008]

Well, it was poorly delivered.

[TruthTaste]

Gravel, the most popular candidate gets the office, and many times while in office doing the RIGHT thing is more important than doing the POPULAR thing, that is what makes a great leader, many times the greatness of leaders is only seen in hindsight while they are chastised during the leadership.

[gravel2008]

Again, the point was that of a pun.

Sen. Gravel is the only candidate with a plan for direct democracy, making the people the leaders, and making the RIGHT thing and the POPULAR thing, one and the same.

This is a fundamental argument of government, what do we elect people to do?

[TruthTaste]

We elect people to be deciders.

[gravel2008]

That's one argument, the other is that we elect leaders to reflect the views of their constituents.

Partisan politics ruins both views, which is why the people need the power.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

Gravel!!! You are the man!!

[gravel2008]

Thanks!

[nsmather]

Uhm...many crimes HAVE been committed. Lying to Congress is a crime. Outing an intelligence officer is a breach of national security, also a crime. Violating International Treaties are crimes. Bush has committed more crimes than I can list in this limited space. Pretending that he hasn't isn't a crime, but should be.

[TruthTaste]

Bush didn't out that officer, do your research.

[zorxsplat]

yum

[KobyBrandt]

lol - I doubt if they're going to ask that particular question Davis. We wouldn't want to "offend" anyone now, would we?

[Lethesunshine]
