AT&T and Wachovia!

That's right -- from the people who wiretap your phones and are praying for a government bailout comes the TOTALLY fair and nonpartisan Vice-Presidential debate!

Of
course, this isn't your League of Women Voters, tired, outdated debate!
This baby is organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates, the
group run by Paul Kirk (D), who has lobbied on behalf of the
pharmaceutical industry, and Frank Fahrenkopf (R), the nation’s leading
gambling lobbyist.

But since Kirk is a Democrat and Fahrenkopf
is a Republican, the Commission HAS to be nonpartisan, right? Well, it
is, unless of course you're a candidate representing Independents, or
the Green party, or you're poor, or anti-corporation. Then you can't
get into the debates to save your life.

A lot of fuss has been
raised over the partiality of tonight's moderator, Gwen Ifill. Yet, no
one is examining the larger bias of tonight's debates toward the
interest of corporations. Ifill may have reflected certain biases
toward the Obama camp in the past, but the ENTIRE debates are being run
by an organization funded by corporations like Anheuser-Busch.

Where
is the outrage over this bias toward corporations? Where is the outrage
that the previously unbiased League of Women Voters was ousted in favor
of the Commission on Presidential Debates that effectively hijacked the
democratic process in favor of cronyism and corporate cash?

Joe and Sarah have agreed to answer questions with responses no longer than two minutes to prevent embarrassing gaffes.

Since
AT&T is once of the sponsors, what is the likelihood of FISA and
immunity being breached? Because Wachovia is other other sponsor, will
Gwen ask about the failure of the Free Market and Deregulation? Surely,
no moderator in their right mind will bring up the corporate
sponsorship of our elections during a debate SPONSORED by the very
corporations that are taking over America.

Sounds like some good, old-fashioned aggressive moderating to me!
