CNN / YouTube Corporate Debate - Impeachment & Domestic Spying VERBOTEN
Thanks Time Warner for deciding that the most popular question online for the debate would not be asked. I guess the idea was to let the "unwashed masses" think that they actually had a voice, but not letting their PRIMARY concern be heard.

SCREW YOU TIME WARNER.

2. The YouTube Debate was a farce. Democracy through corporate filter.
Impeachment would have put Clinton in a corner and cemented the base away from her. Time Warner wants to make sure that she's the candidate.

8. What was the most popular question exactly?
To me, it doesn't make sense to ask about impeachment. It's not an issue that anybody who takes office in 2009 is gonna have to deal with.

9. Of course it "doesn't make sense to ask about impeachment," look at your AVATAR.
I wouldn't expect anything less from a Pelosi acolyte.
