**************** OFFICIAL: No More "debates" thread *********************
Enough is enough.


More of these 'debates' only serves the Republicans. It's time to stop.
If you haven't figured out by now who you will vote for - you are an idiot - and no amount of additional 'debates' will change that.

No More 'Debates' until Grampy McSame is the opponent.

3. No more debates hosted and moderated by the corporate
News Networks but it would be good to see the candidates answer questions in a debate hosted by respectable organization where questions are asked by people in the audience. The Corporate media would be allowed to send a camera crew only. Yeah we've seen 21 debates but the candidates haven't been asked about Torture, poverty, New Orleans, Prison Industry, Patriot Act, Secret Surveillance, War Crimes and the Geneva Convention and I could go on and on.

7. LOL... Sure thing!
Edited on Fri Apr-25-08 09:20 PM by Dr_eldritch
No chance of changing minds, but people are still going to express their frustration with each-other's candidate, and people will still get bent out of shape over it. We may not have any more televised debates, but the fallout will help the Republicans for a while.

So long as we have one 'side' jumping at phantoms and another 'side' expressing disgust, or whatever characterizations you'd like... it will continue until weeks after the nominee is certain and until people start getting TS'd over it.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

8. Why should Obama legitimize Hillary with more debates, as if people
are still choosing between the two? Ignore her stupid ass, is my advice to him.

12. No more debates 21 is enough
These things have been aired on National TV, it's not like they have only been aired in the states that are next voting.

If they didn't watch before, frankly they weren't that interested to begin with. Hillary just wants free airtime.

The North Carolina Democratic Party cancelled this one, I am sick of Hillary and her surrogates, spreading the lie that Barack is afraid to debate.

Does Hillary not remember, that in fact, it is she, who wouldn't debate her opponent in NY for the senate seat? She has a lot of nerve to claim this after 21 debates.

16. But ... but ... the candidates should face as many debates as Bu**sh** did!
I mean, the guy was elected President twice, so he must have survived, what, maybe FIFTY debates? (By all means, correct me if I'm wrong!:)) So far the Dem candidates have **only** had to endure a **mere** twenty-one debates!

I'm sure the media have brought up this discrepancy quite pointedly!
