I don't understand why Spanish is so important. If they are citizens of this country, then they should have a working knowledge and speak English. Most of the ones who don't speak English are illegal and should not be voting.
The democrats are pandering to any special interest group. Hey, they pushed for amnesty for illegals, had a debate in front of the gay groups, and now, I am waiting for an environmental debate.
Its like being a whore, your everything to everyone. Look at Hillary trying to talk southern, give me a break.

Yes it is a little odd, but to allow one to speak Spanish when the others can't would be perceived us unfair. And for the information of those who read, Uni vision chose to have the debate in Spanish, on their channel. one can only guess this is because the owner of Uni vision, was a guest in the Lincoln bedroom under a prior administration.

I really don't understand you Cons/Republicans. You really are stupid opportunists.
You whine about English being the official language of the US, and now you want the Dems to speak Spanish?
I shudder at your reaction if the debate HAD been held in Spanish.
Wahhhhh! Democrats are traitors!

Ask your self this. How many hispanics watch univision? Who's idea was it to broadcast on univision? Your just jealous that the dems have a good idea and your loser party doesnt. 70% say bush and his supporters are insane. 30% support bush and dont know they are insane.

Probably because it would give some candidates an unfair advantage over others. As for Gore, more people actually voted for him than Bush--Bush won only because of the electoral college. You shouldn't let your ideology get the best of you.

bless your political insight, my friend. YOU understand logic in politics as few do, and there is rarely ANY logic there to begin with. Everything you say is TRUE and correct. This "Spanish omelette" of a debate is pure nonsense, designed by some moron to pander to the Hispanic voters. I hope it backfires on them like 2 flat tires on their cars at the same time.

BOTH parties are guilty of pandering to the needs of the party, OK?
NO ONE is exempt from anything.

Anyone who believes in the oxymoron "Free Market" doesn't have a clue, and lost touch with reality long ago.
