Brutal, man!

Nice! Get it, hit it, don't forget it! I wish I could watch the debates, the spectacle of it is almost operatic lol

At least there is something substantial being discussed, even if it is only in talking point sound bites.

hardly ever come here....and I in no way dislike ben carson....but I am sick to fucking death of candidates and their "faith"....the world would be better off electing atheists.

And I am happy you ventured on over, sir.

You made me think of another cranky but wise fellow. I know he spoke much about faith, religion, so much of substance, but came upon this instead which fits.

Hope you come back to the Twain

Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's.

The main takeaway from that debate is that the liberal media is awful.

I thought the debate was great, all candidates seem to have respect for each other, did the Dem debate have the same ? I missed that one (I couldn't care less what Hell'ary has to say)

also...thought it was great that a few of them blasted the mainstream media !

Having read a transcript of the questions , some were appropriate for that setting and others were more appropriate for a press conference or no holds barred interview.


Think the stations are looking for the ad revenue over the role they used to play, as advocates for the general public. Seems kinda tabloidy at times.

yes, a few of the candidates nailed the panel for the questioning they felt was outside the topic.

Not just cnbc.

Cruz failed answer a substantive question instead called them out for not asking such questions

As much as they wanted to blame "liberal media" it should be pointed out that the questions on the Fox debate were pretty pointed.

Note the plural in stations. My opinion Fox was more overt and unabashed about it.

Would like to be a fly on the wall in the stations predebate meetings including the meetings with RNC/DNC. Including the individual ones with candidates.

I am not sure who you are or what you have done with GF, but whatever it is, in general, posts coming from you seem to be quite a bit more rational these days.

That said, what mess are we talking about? I mean, the country is in faaaaaarrrr from perfect shape, but I wouldn't exactly call this a mess compared to where we were in the not too distant past and where the majority of the rest of the world is.

mickeyrat

Yep. Imagine where we could be if there was better cooperation and compromise (as was intended by the framers) within Congress and between the WH and Congress as a whole.
