52. A show, energize supporters, but mainly a chance to attack your opponents |
|
you can hit a lot harder in a debate than with a tv or radio ad. But it's not for getting a message out.

29. I'm saying if someone holds the opinion that the three |

candidates who are being allowed to debate are "fakes," that person has the right to think that way and say so.
Perhaps they support a candidate who was not allowed on the stage.

Are you implying that we can't think for ourselves in this country? I guess you are that cynical - that's fine. I am too worried about the future of the country to not pay attention - even if the average voter appears to be a moron at times.

'upset', 'irrational'.
throw in hysterical and emotional while your at it.
there is Nothing irrational about supposing that a company like NBC that is owned by another that is Most Interested in profits of war, would have a message to support war and exclude people that are anti-war.
wtf is going on here? because i do see a problem, but it's not mine.

That's his fault for not being a good candidate. Since he has no chance in hell of being elected, he was excluded. It's not the end of the world, is it? He was in most of the previous debates - he had his chance.

28. I'm really enjoying this format. |

All 3 are articulate, relaxed, and talking like Democrats. All 3 are sounding informed on the issues and they know that structural changes have to be made. Energy policy and tax policy are going to be part of a new Democratic agenda. The biggest problem is choosing which of these people deserve the office the most. Contrast this to the lying, orchestrated, war-mongering, fear spreading, tax cutting idiots that are competing to big the Big Loser in November.

This is a great debate for independents and undecideds to get a better picture of each of these candidates. They have had ample time to answer the questions and it's more relaxed.
I know people are angry and disappointed that Kucinich wasn't in this debate and I'm sorry it happened, BUT the silver lining is these top 3 candidates are having more time to explain who they are and what they believe. And Hillary, Barak and John are all doing a good job in pointing out the mistakes of the republicans. That HAS to be a good thing for the Democrats.
These are the top 3 because Democrats voted for them.
