Stuffingenvelopes is a little twerp that appealed only to reprobates like Billy Goat Clinton. He is an obnoxious little twit!
What goes on in the public debates is just feed material for blogs, “news” items, mentions by DJs on radio, and so forth.
The pervasive immersive chanting can be more effective in changing people’s minds.
Consider the effectiveness of the constant mutter of “it’s Bush’s Fault” that was a constant factor on almost all media when he was President.
Stefi probably had instructions to hammer the point because other people had plans for the resulting material, no matter how stupid it seemed at the time.
He had quotes from Romney on both sides of that issue, so whichever way Mitt responded, he was going to jump on him with his opposite
But Stephie was too ham-handed in the attempt, bringing up an issue of such stunning irrelevance Romney was unable to fathom why he would ask something so ridiculous, and so didn't jump on the bait.
Meantime; for years now; the Lincoln-Douglas has been held as a standard. And for all that; nothing has changed. We seemed doomed to suffer the insufferable. . .
I thought Romney did very well with the question too. Newt also does a nice job of making a fool out of the clowns running these “debates”.
The GOP hardly needed MSNBC to host a debate. Putting candidates through that impresses NO ONE and just delights leftists. There have been way too many debates already and we're just covering the same ground over and over again. Those who want more and more debates are usually those whose candidates are failing and want something/anything to stick to the front-runners. I didn't learn a single new thing in last weekend's debates.
The public quickly grew sick and tired of seeing Obama's ugly mug on their televisions every day. Are we going to wear out all the GOP candidates too? We're well on our way.
(Just part of the plan. . .and reprehensible response as are their goals.)
Its about social issues,stupid. I know you probably thought it was about the economy or jobs or restoring America to greatness.
They should go to a town hall format...registered GOP voters only ...let them ask the questions
We saw how that worked out for Anthony Comstock.
Chris Wallace was getting on my nerves during the Fox debate. Most of these moderators seem like they think they need to show off their intelligence in the way they craft the question, and the questions become unnecessarily long.
I’m sure the WH sent Steffie a new pair of” Alice in Wonderland” knee pads!
Steffy was trying to marginalize Rick Santorum by using Romney. When Santorum objected loudly to the premise of the question, Steffy, lifted his finger to stop him saying, “I know, I know, just a minute...” Rick didn’t need to respond because Romney, to his credit, didn’t take the bait and turned it back on Steffy.
It was so ridiculous.
excellent idea! No same-day registrations either. This is similar to the only worthy debate (IMHO) which was the one co-sponsored by one of the TEA Party groups.
It wasn’t about Romney; it was about Santorum. Steffy was using Romney to set up Santorum.
It was an, as the saying goes, EPIC FAIL.
I know that no state wants to do it, but would a particular state be constitutionally (U.S) precluded from passing such a law? If so, where in the constitution? Could they ban abortion? Homosexuality? Gay marriage? How is contraception different, under our constitution? Seems like a silly premise, but it is constitutionally interesting. Thoughts?
Right-O!
Wallace is a bloviator whose questions are somewhat longer than the 60 seconds a debater has to respond.
His smarmy question to the honorable Michelle Bachmann “Are you a flake?” Was most disreputable and completely destroyed forever any regard I held for him.
No questions regarding anything of substance and importance to the future of this nation.
