Why aren't the police getting rid of these tea parties?

CBS gets a big black eye for its botched hosting of last night's Repub debate in SC. Well deserved, in my eye.
CBS televised only the 1st hour of the 90 minute debate. They had better things to show, I guess. The last 30 minutes were streamed on the internet. Badly streamed as it turns out, with the herky-jerky motion that makes the discussion more than a bit difficult to follow, and sometimes leaves candidates' faces frozen in mid-word.
This morning comes news that a CBS producer sent an email to others saying that few questions should be asked of Bachmann (and perhaps Paul) because they are not, in his mind, viable candidates.

@realjohnboy,
Irrespective of what one might think of their answers it was clear that Romney, Gingrich, Bachmann, and Santorum had the best grap of the issues discussed lat night. Cain and Perry were weak. Paul and Huntsman were odd.

@firefly,
A little late on this argument but I thought I'd put my two cents in anyways. While I do believe that every citizen should put forth the effort to research the different candidates from as many sources as possible to attempt to avoid strict biases and then cast their vote, I don't believe that every person should go to the polls even if all they know is what they heard from the person over at the barbershop telling the barber what he/she thought of "x" candidate.

I lived in Brazil for a time where it is the law to vote. If you don't you have your social security revoked until you pay a large fine. While the concept behind it is clearly for a good cause, what it led to was the president always being the man who paid off the most voters and/or had the catchiest song about his campaign.

Misinformed voting is much worse than not voting.

@TheLeapist,
As I understand it Brazil has the same kind of government that the U.S. has. Bought by big money and the so called ellete of the country. The surfs are required to keep their mouths shut.

I agree. I always vote, but almost never vote for judges. Information is simply too difficult to dig up.

@reasoning logic,
A Cain spokesman says that he was tired and that the video may have been edited.

@realjohnboy,
If he's going to say that, he better be able to back it up. Otherwise, it's just going to sound like "Everybody is picking on me."

I'm relieved Cain's against Qadhafi killing Libyans, though. His position on that had been unclear to me up to know.
