Katie;

Thank you for your ground-breaking journalism. You are certainly worthy of the title "News Personality" that your network has used to describe you in the past. Your multi-million $$$$$ salary is hardly sufficient to compensate you for your critical role to democracy.

Why bore us with issues like the skyrocketing wealth gap, tax cuts for the rich, LIES told to take us into Iraq. It is much more important to get to know the candidates personality. We need to elect someone that we''d like to go out and have a beer with -- someone live George Bush, who has done so much for the middle class. He almost even saved Social Security by privatizing it.

t_bar-cite your source for your statement regarding the shooting of Reagan, cite your source.
I''m sure sweet perky katie, who loves hill wouldn''t ever do anything to make HER mad.
As for this being a good question-BS. All of them are polticans and can skirt a fluff piece like this.

Just to clarify, losing one''s temper does not mean stomping your feet and throwing things. It''s defined as "a sudden outburst of anger." If you really want a president that never gets angry, then you''re looking for an automaton and not a real human being.

It''s not a stupid question. It gives us insight into the emotional maturity of these candidates. If they can''t control themselves, do we want them in such a responsible position?

Wow, talk about immature. What could possiblity they want with the White House. The Bushwacker will leave nothing but grief behind. The next president will be forced to declare a draft.

I think it''s an excellent question, because it can tell you if a candidate is putting on an act or being real. Based on this, I would say that most of the candidates put on an act with the exception of Edwards and to a lesser degree, Obama.

There''s nothing wrong with losing your temper and there''s everything wrong with this story.
Who cares about tempers?!
Let''s talk about the issues, these candidates are not running to become school class president.
MSM people need to get real about their work.

Ron Paul just broke the fund raising record of 6 million in a 24 hour period and we get a story about tempers.

The reality is we don''t come here to get information, there is none. We come here to spread the information the corporate media suppress and to mock these fools.

FLASH! CIA''s Gitmo torture jet crashed with 4 tons of Columbian bam bam on board in Mexico while headed for the US and the corporate lap dogs that call themselves journalist are silent.

You people are a disgrace to journalism, democracy and the nation.

Katie, I was watching your evening news & you was enter viewing Obama about when he last lost his temper& in the enter view he said that his daughters was perfect, I would like enlighten MR. Obama that there is only one person that is perfect & that would be Jesus Christ & not him or his children.

This article is all about protecting and propping up Hillary.
Let''s not ask Hillar about her legendary temper, let''s ask all the candidates so no one focuses on one of her bigger flaws.

To Katie, brilliant CBS anchorwoman:

Suggestions of other equally profound questions to ask the candidates.

1. What did you eat this morning?

2. When was the last time you breathed?

3. Why did Britney shave her head?

4. Do you shave your chest hair?

5. When was the last time you got asked a dumb question by a dumb broad posing as an anchorwoman?

I''ll tell you what this piece is about: It''s about deflecting any looking into Hillary''s temper.
Her temper is legendary, and Libs in politics and journalism know it, and know that Americans don''t want an angry ill-tempered President.

So this is an attempt to make it look like ALL the candidates are being asked about their temper in an effort to deflect attention from Hillary''s temper.

She''s just another angry liberal woman.
And if the Democrats nominate her, that will become more and more apparent as the REAL campaign goes on.

Losing your temper? What a dumb question!


How about lying to the nation?

How about killing 4000 of our best in a cockameny war to enrich your friends?

Katie,

I know, it was really tough for you and your producers to see the blimp. Don''t worry, thousands of loyal supporters make sure it will continue flying.
