Stacking The Deck

It's easy to win if you stack the deck, right? Well, interestingly, after the knocks the Clinton campaign has been taking for planting at least one question at a previous debate, but it looks like ALL of the questions -- from supposedly undecided voters -- at last week's debate were planted!

Not only was Wolf Blitzer behaving himself (after Hillary's warning), but the questioners were:

- the political director of the Democratic Party of Arkansas and a high-level staffer for the Arkansas Democratic Party since the 1990s
- the president of the Islamic Society of Nevada, a major Dem contributor, and former president of MECha (a group that wants to overthrow the United States government
- a well-known antiwar activist
- a UNLV student who asked Hillary Clinton whether she preferred "diamonds or pearls" wrote that CNN forced her to ask the "frilly" question instead of a pre-approved query regarding the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste facility; she is also a former staffer for the Nevada Democratic Party Chair, Harry Reid, whose son heads Hillary Clinton’s Nevada campaign
- a political communications intern for Senator Harry Reid in Washington, D.C. who is currently a junior at UNLV and an immigrant on a quest to become a United States citizen (note: she's not even eligible to vote!)
- a union offical who has previously been published in a union journal
- an Executive Director of the ¡Sí Se Puede! Foundation and a recruiter at UNLV

If the Democrats were actually interested in hearing from the American public, why would they plant every single one of the questions at that debate? They -- and Hillary, in particular -- simply cannot handle real questions from real people, so they have decided to deceive the American public by planting only the questions they want to talk about.

There's my two cents.
