[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I’ll add that the real problem is that the candidates and the parties should never have given control of the debates over to the networks to begin with.

Unfortunately, all the candidates were too tempted by the free airtime to consider the harm being done to our political process.

Truly united we stand, divided we fall. If parties and candidates were to commit to the good of the USA rather than facetime as priority, and stand firm, the programs would have nothing to sell unless they went for, as the cable companies call it, the 'WHOLE BUNDLE.' But that's in a perfect world....

[The Pack Knight]

If they’d step back, the candidates would see that the whole “debate” process of this election cycle is one big “show of hands” question. Someone needs to step up like Fred Thompson did at the last debate, act like the leader they’re all allegedly running to be, and tell these mealy-mouthed parasites that they won’t be taking any more crap.
