Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney Plan to Skip Youtube Presidential Debate

[brettdale]

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney both say they have more important campaign commitments scheduled.

as part of an arrangement with the video-sharing Web site YouTube, questions for the debate would come from the online video community, an element Romney seems uneasy about.

"I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman," Romney said earlier this week, referencing a Democratic event held in South Carolina on Monday that included a question about global warming from a snowman.

1. Chickenshits

Romney would rather field questions from a fetus.

2. So Romney is saying "Screw the average guy"?

Because it sure sounds that way to me. So here's a message from an average guy to Romney, I thought the snowman was sorta neat and I wish I would have thought of that. I'm almost 50 years old and still appreciate creativity. This, however, is not terribly creative, Fuck you Romney. You no imagination piece of shit.
on edit- I have to stop posting about repubs. It brings out bad things in me, like swearing.

10. Well I'm 68 and I take your "Fuck You Romney" and add a "Fuck Rudy Too"

Just because we're old farts doesn't mean we can't call 'em as we see 'em.

6. ha ha, because it would be pretty painful

to sit up there and answer question after question to the effect of, "Why are you screwing the working class?" and "Why do you keep lying about the war in Iraq and . . . . . pretty much everything else?" Who the hell would want to endure that? Much better to have Wolf Blitzer ask you to explain how much you hate abortion and Al Queda.

7. It's all about calculations

Romney and Guliani don't think the online community matters. To them they may be right, as the Republican voters are generally older. The calculated in the same way they calculate that they don't need to campaign in states such as Indiana, who always vote Republican.
Hopefully they have a rude awakening in their future. Hopefully, many youtube viewer will unite and vote for Ron Paul, who is their best friend, as far as Republicans go.
A couple quick notes on these two.
Guliani supports torture. He also said, quite recently, that America has the best healthcare system in the world. He's full of it, and relies on the voters' lack of knowledge to allow his obtimism and personality to carry him through. In the debates, he's proved time and time again that he has no clue.
Romney really ticks me off. Sometimes politicians will tend to say what they really mean on accident, when they can't say it in debates. When it was reported that there were covert ops taking place in Iran, Romney said that the media needs to be stopped. He said they need to not report things like this and the wiretaps. In my opinion, he is quite a danger.

As for the snowman, I tend to agree with Romney. I mean, the first question started with "Wassup". I thought that was ridiculous.

8. Upon further reflection

They are probably scared. The questions are probably going to be in "attack mode", except to Ron Paul. So, yeah, they'd look like crap either way.
