GOP front runners duck debate, disgrace themselves

by: Jay Stevens

I flipped on last night's GOP debate for awhile and couldn't help but notice the empty podiums on stage. Those podiums belonged to the four front-runners in the Republican primary: Giuliani, McCain, Romney, and Thompson.

The debate took place at historically black Morgan State University and was scheduled to talk about issues important to African Americans. It's pretty obvious that either the top-tier Republicans don't want to be associated with African Americans, or feel the questions wouldn't play to their strengths, and they declined to show.

Shane pretty much nailed the issue in his post:

You have to wonder about this 'big tent' we used to hear a lot about. You might remember that though all of the candidates were invited to speak before the NAACP event, only Tom Tancredo showed up. You might also recall that all the Democratic candidates took them up on the offer.

Remember all the hooplah from the media for Democrats refusing to debate on Fox? What was that quote...how can we trust you to stand up to al Qaeda if you can't handle Fox News? Well, how can we expect these men to govern the nation if they won't talk with their own citizens?
