Who else is boycotting the debate? |
|
I am.. I'm not telling everyone else to, but I'm one Kucinich supporter who won't be watching. It is different when the rules are rules from the beginning. They changed the rules to silence his voice.

7. Well, we probably wouldn't learn much anyway |
|
Probably a lot of stuff about tactics. I think the most educational debates are past.

I am participating in threads where we are making up scenarios of what it would be like if Dennis were in the debates.

15. Same here (watching the science channel instead). |
|
I'm a Edwards supporter but he really let me down by not supporting Dennis on this. It also shows that the US no longer has any real news stations.

I can't think of anything more important in my life right now.

13. I disagree about how critical this one is |
|
I realize that some can get stuff out of it. But I'm pretty clear about who I'm supporting: Kucinich, then Edwards, then Obama, then Clinton.

14. I want to see how they move on from the mud flinging |
|
In spite of the fact that the early questions are pissing off so many people here, I find the responses telling. I don't know all I need to know about these people and I know one of them WILL be our president from 2009 - 2013.

There's still time to see how they do under pressure.

But we are far enough into this that I want to see history as it is being made - you just never know what's going to happen - in spite of how "polished" these candidates are.

I am interested in who our nominee is. I'm not a Kucinich or nobody person. But I don't think some of the debates are very substantive. Too bad how campaigns are so media-driven.

I went ahead and went on to something else... partlly cause I found it boring/partly I'm not feeling good and I was having a hard time concentrating.. and if I can't concentrate on what they are saying no point in watching.
Maybe I'll feel better next debate.

30. Hope you feel better! |

I haven't been feeling very good since late November. Got a virus and then what I hope is just bad anxiety. Doctors say I am ok, but I wake up very tired even after a good sleep and my head feels achy and lightheaded a lot. Lots of this kind of stuff around it seems.

Tonight, all three candidates are proving - we don't fucking care about anyone but ourselves.
I am praying for a brokered convention and I am agnostic.

a rerun of a Frontline documentary on Cheney, which should serve as a reminder why candidates who trivialize the issues are NOT what we need at this point.

35. I started to stream it at work... |

when I saw Dennis wasn't on it and heard Hillary talking I just couldn't keep it going so I closed the window.
Well msnbc just made up my mind on not going for the more expensive package in order to get their channel when I switch to satellite.
What a fucked up country this is where voting is controlled by private corporations and so are the debates and therefore the messages we get to hear.
Democracy is dead.
