Republican Debates undermined by the MSM

There have been 12 sponsored Republican Debates to date with another 14 to follow. I fail to understand why the Republican candidates continue to allow “journalist” to define their candidacies in the debates.

These candidates should be posing the questions related

Republican Party of Lincoln

to what direction the other candidates plan to take our country regarding Entitlements, Border Security, Foreign Wars, Our National Debt and ObamaCare. Their questions should be supplemented with questions from those who are going to vote in the Presidential Primary and the General Election of 2012. HOW did the MSM ever get appointed as the arbiter for who gets what question and thusly become the political compass for every election cycle?

The electorate should have a greater say in the process, which starts with who files to run for office.

We, the electorate, are spoon fed candidates from the two largest private political partys and those candidates are then vetted by a predominately Progressive main stream media. We, the voters, are not electing rulers who will control our daily lives. We, the electorate, are hiring employees to manage the daily business of OUR government.

Journalist, you don’t do the hiring or the screening of candidates from our application pool — that’s our job.

Candidates and office holders, you aren’t OUR bosses we are yours.
