1. That doesn't surprise me! I don't know HOW the questions could
be posed directly WITHOUT being screened...there's just too many of them, annd I'm SURE some couldn't have passed the FCC regs, but I was afraid CNN censored them too closely, and I guess I was right.

4. i don't see the relevance
how does impeachment factor into how they'd do their jobs as president, regardless of whether they favor it or not. By 2009 when they take over, Bush will have been out of office one way or the other.

6. I guess you could say the same thing about any issue.
Do they believe in evolution, how do they feel about national health care, what will they do about immigration or high gasoline prices?

What difference does any of it make, things will be different when they get into office.

It's not a very good argument if you ask me.

Assuming they think Dubya's behavior is fine and dandy, then they would probably think it perfectly acceptable if they did the same stuff, or vice-versa.

See how that works?

Of course most people that responded thought that it was the most critical question to ask. Because it is.

8. If you claim the powers W does, should you be impeached? I would like to
know what the candidates think about the powers of the president.

5. By that account it doesn't look like CNN took the voting into consideration
I see questions that were asked that had few votes and other non impeachment questions with many votes that were not asked.

7. I was disappointed when I learned it was CNN's choice....
I knew at that moment that the questions (videos) would be cherry-picked to reflect CNN's kiss-ass, "I don't want to get involved" policies.

9. In England they would be fined for doing this.
The BBC has been. Not for a political show, but the fraud was the same:

"It found viewers were urged to call its You Say, We Pay quiz after potential winners had been chosen, showing a "reckless disregard" for TV viewers."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6276388.stm

I think the BBC currently is investigating themselves over this kind of crap. They have found multiple instances of defrauding their viewers. They take it a lot more seriously than we do.
