U-Tube Debate and the Gun Issue

The Democrat position is quite clear regarding the Gun Issue--they just plain have contempt for anyone who owns, likes, shoots, hunts with, tinkers with, or has anything to do with guns. Biden couldn't have spelled it out any better when he voiced his contempt of a gun owner; when the gun owner voiced his question and called his rifle he was holding, "Baby". Giving nicknames to guns is an age old tradition by Americans, and Europeans in general. I guess Biden never read "Last of the Mohicans"-- I forgot the name of the rifle carried by the Deerslayer; but there are many mentions of rifles names in American folklore. Biden was the only one to give a response to this thorny issue--one of the main issues which separate the Democrats from the Republicans. The gun issue is just one issue of many, which illustrates their disregard for American traditions and national sovereignty issues. They pander to special interests; corporate, labor, and ethnocentrical; and Gravel was right, "follow the money". Who is donating all those millions of dollars and why?
The American electorate is in big trouble if what we have seen so far is all we got to vote for. The ones, who have so far shown good judgment, such as Kucinich who voted against the Iraq invasion, is just not "Presidential"; whatever that might be. The Democratics in the lead obviously looked to see the way the wind was blowing at the time and voted for war, because the populace had bought Bush's propaganda campaign and were clamoring for war. In my mind then they are not capable of making good decisions, as common sense should have told them a big scam by the Bush administration was taking place. Remember the drones filled with WMD the Iraqis were going to launch against the U.S.--they couldn't even fly over their own country!
The amnesty question was not asked--hmmm, no one thought to ask that question? Because the amnesty question was not asked the issue is still in limbo in voter's minds; at least regarding where the candidates stand on the issue.
The U-Tube way of asking questions definitely is the way to go--providing those selecting the questions are not partisan. No way to tell if partisanship played a part in this case but some questions critical to showing the differences between the Democrats and Republicans were downplayed or not asked--as I pointed out above. Not all the candidates were allowed to way in on some questions, which is unfortunate.
