Did you guys see the Republican CNN/YouTube debate on Wednesday?

Romney and McCain made themselves look like FOOLS!

Romney (aka The Stepford Dad) is a flake- I can't believe he's a serious candidate, but look at who's in office now. McCain is just so desperate to get elected he'll say or do anything. He reminds me of that political character in 'The Dead Zone', Greg Stillson. Any moment, he's gonna lose it.

If I were the Republican candidate, would any of you vote for me?

The entire debate format is a joke. Anderson Cooper was the biggest joke, as was CNN with their audience plants. The whole "we didn't know he was a Hillary operative" is being laughed at by pretty much everyone. Cooper kept referring to the candidates incorrectly. I heard "Governor McCain" as well as many other gaffes that made him look ridiculous.

These so called debates simply aren't. They are sound bite fodder where nothing serious gets discussed and no real ideas or specifics for the ideas can be stated with any clarity, and that goes for both the dem and republican debates. "I'm for keeping nukes out of the hands of Iran." Well, that's great. What are you going to do to prevent it from happening? A snow man asking questions? Some guy sitting in front of a confederate flag? Hilalry whining that afterwards that Russert was picking on her? It "boxers or briefs" all over again.

There won't be any serious discussion until it is down to two or three candidates on each side in the primaries, and then in the general.

Actually, Clinton answered that question, putting it in a whole other league. Many of the questions are ignored in these supposed debates.

I also think debates are garbage, as the whole system is garbage.

Hey scaeagles, just for the record, you might get my vote. Although you have strong conservative beliefs, you clearly know how to dialog with those who hold opposing views. You're articulate, unashamed, and coach high school sports... Maybe you should start a little lower. How about running as a local representative? I'll bet you'd be surprised at how well an open-minded straight-shootin' family man would do.

... and I stopped watching the "debates" months ago.

Just having a swanker as a representative would go a long way...even if he is a republican ;)

What he said.
