Of course.....that IS what they are and have ALWAYS been.
Anyone who watches them to gain any MEANINGFUL information on either candidate is a fool.
Anyone swayed by them is beyond hope as an intelligent voter.
We need to start TEAing and FREEPing these town hall debates next election cycle.
1. Say that you are undecided.
2. Submit the most stuipid innane liberal leaning pointed question ahead of time to you are picked to ask the question.
3. When given the microphone, ask the REAL question you have, and not a question about WHAT the government is going to DO FOR ME, but instead a question about the PHILOSOPHY of Government and Centralized Government Control.
4. IF they bitch about it, simply say, I changed my mind, don;t I as an Undecided voter have that right?
I think if this happened enough the left would havwe to abandon the whole “Town Hall” format because they wouldn;t be able to pre-pick the questions.
Someone mentioned what we really need is a 6 hour Lincoln Douglas type debate, I would love to see someone like Obama after 6 hours of debating I think his true self would start showing through around hours 2-4 and it would only get worse.
OUTSTANDING analysis and posts! BTTT!
GENERIC reference to terrorism ... not a response to the murder of our ambassador, and attack on our facility.
If Os initial response was vague on the Libya issue
that is what the WH wanted!
If America did not comprehend precisely what the WH response to this was
that was the plan!
If the debate venue looked like a Mulligan for O, on his response to the Libyan attack
THAT is what it WAS!
THIS is the usual Liberal procedure in dealing with everything. Buying acres of wiggle-room RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING with deliberately confusing and ambiguous language IS their standard practice.
The administration (AND O) was NEVER clear or consistent in their response to this.
It is typical of the way O has handled EVERYTHING. That was intentional and calculated.
He is so disinclined to the idea of personal responsibility, so unqualified at decision-making and incapable of commitment that his responses ALWAYS take on this imprecise, ill-defined and ambiguous character.
It is INVARIABLY the way he responds to a challenge or a question!!
Whatever these so-called "debates" really are, they're certainly not a battle of ideas in an open and neutral forum. Theyre run by the disinformation arm of Obama's Reelection Committee AKA the MSM. They're set up to fool the gullible and keep the real issues as far away from Obama as the east is from the west.
What the heck? IS BUSH RUNNING AGAIN???
Wish Romney had asked her if BUSH was a candidate now, or I wasn't aware that BUSH was running. Or, if Obama had not been thinking so much about BUSH maybe he could have concentrated on the job at hand.
OH BUT, Crowly wants to skip over the miserable past 4 years of Obama,(he gets a mulligan) and go right to the real problem, BUSH. BUSH FAULT AGAIN, still Bush fault, always will be BUSH FAULT.
The headline is right, the date is wrong. Kennedy/ Nixon is when that change happened. Much like TV news televised debates the TV comes first. It’s about looking good, looking “presidential” (whatever that means), the only time what you say matters is if it’s REALLY stupid.
