Rove and Cleland to Debate

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/politicalinsider/entries/2007/10/16/a_karl_rove_max_cleland_faceof.html reports that former GOP strategist Karl Rove and former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA) will debate the topic "Should America Bring Democracy to the World?" at Pat Robertson's Regent University on October 26. Rove will be joined by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and on Cleland will team up with retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffery. Charlie Rose will moderate.

"This will be the first time Rove and Cleland have met. Many supporters of Cleland believe that Rove � during Cleland's unsuccessful re-election campaign � was behind the TV ad that paired the triple-amputeed, Vietnam veteran with an image of Osama bin Laden."

2. why are people even giving any platform to rove/jethro ... charlie rose to moderate?

that right wing leaning, dick-cavet-wanna-be? pat robertson regent's university?

o, please !!!! and why are clealand and mccaffrey even giving the jethro and his master brain any kind of a chance to showcase themselves? if the jethro/rove/robertson/rose team wanna showcase themselves let them have a monologue...this will not be a dialogue. you can be sure of that. i am.

3. I say yes beyond a doubt the USA should try and bring Democracy to the world

But it should do so by example and diplomacy not at the point of a gun..

7. We started there years and years ago and we have made great strides there

If we think our system is so good we should lead by example and diplomacy. We used to do this..

4. Hello?? "Democracy"? Is THAT what we're calling boycotts of medicine, murders of civilians,

"shock and awe" aerial bombardments?

Just want my terms defined.

5. Sounds like fun to me

Even those people have the right to "showcase" their views. Cleland and the General can handle themselves, of that I am sure.

8. "Let's introduce the debate panel"

"On the Right, Mr. Karl Rove and Mr Jebb Bush will be debating just how great democracy is for the entire world".........And on the Left, Max Cleland will be arguing against American democracy because it is not good and why he hates it".

9. Shouldn't Rove be in jail?

He would be if there were real investigations!
