Why do the candidates even go on these Faux debates. |
|
they need to as a group boycott them, and let a fairer media outlet take the reigns. Its apparent after tonight ( if it wasn't already) our boys will never get a fair shake by going on fox "news".

1. Agreed. Except $100,000 Lieberman will still go. So let him. |

3. No closing statements, moderator confusion |
|
Irrelevant questions. It was almost as bad as the Koppel fiasco.
Per the closing statements, did I miss something, or did this thing just end mysteriously around 9:45?

4. The post-debate wrap-up |
|
That totally cracked me up. They trashed Clark, ignored Dean except once again to mention the "scream", poo-pooed Sharpton, Kucinich same old blah blah blah, and Kerry too liberal, and just went off on how great Lieberman is. The Democrats through wingnut eyes.

5. Because Democrats are too wimpy to say "no" to Republicans |
|
Edited on Thu Jan-22-04 11:12 PM by Democat
Allowing Fox control over the Democratic debates is like letting Fred Phelps have control over a Gay Pride festival.
It's the same reason we keep losing - because our side is generally a bunch of cowards and wimps. We don't have the fighters that the Republicans have.
If a Democrat had done exactly what Bush did for the last three years, he would be impeached and his popularity would be at 3% by now. Instead, our Democrats have helped build up Bush's credibility and popularity.
The whole party is broken. I don't know how to fix it, other than waiting many years for a new generation of fighting Democrats to take over.
Daschle is still the Democratic head of the Senate. What more needs to be said to prove that we aren't learning from our mistakes?
