It would be so nice if we could have actual debates this year, instead of all this scripted stuff. These aren't even debates this year. The candidates aren't allowed to address each other.

I wonder why...


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

They probably don't want a riot. I mean the way the Lefties(dems, commies, ect) have successfully divided the country, it seems like we're on the verge of civil war sometimes. Of course a civil war can't happen in the USA because the president would just send in the army and smash the insurgents before they could get a head of steam.

There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.

How have liberals been dividing the country? Or is that just your FOX-brand force-fed opinion of the day? An *actual* way Republicans divide the country is through their many wedge issues like gay marriage.

Moving on, NHJ, from what I've heard the debates now have a 32-page rulebook, with debaters not being allowed to address each other, and just taking questions from the audience that have to be ratified by the director. It's just a system for George Bush to be able to recite his talking points by never taking any hardball questions.

Well, we'll see how the debates go, but they're not going to be what they used to be.

LOL, there are no riots here, why would there be any in the United-States after a REAL debate?


I suck cock and love it... absolutely love it. And I just got banned for being too immature to be allowed to post here.
