I totally agree.  Of all the crisis facing American right now, you ask if they think Russia is an evil empire?  Are you serious?  

The actual attendees asked good questions.  I really appeciated the question, "Do you think healthcare should be treated like a commodity?"  I'm annoyed Obama didn't give a straight answer to that until Brokaw re-asked the question.

Oh, I completely agree.  I think the folks in Nashville asked fantastic question that got deep into matters of philosophy and policy.  The question on health care as a commodity was an excellent one, even if they didn't answer it.  The question of whether health care was a right, privilege or responsibility was an excellent one to.  That's the kind of stuff I want to hear in debates:  Answers to the question, "Where are you coming from, ideologically?"

The premise of the question was retarded as well.  "Is Russia an Evil Empire?"  I didn't realize Russia was an empire to begin with.  We're more than twice the size of Russia, in terms of population.  We produce almost seven times its size on GDP.

Again, as with Iran, I have to ask: WTF?
