Democrats should boycott

[madaboutharry]

The democratic presidential candidates should just walk away from this BS. The debates are a joke. No one is really given the opportunity to express himself or herself. The moderators are prima donnas saying to everyone "hey, look how smart I am everyone." I said in an earlier post that the first part of the debate looked like a lunch room food fight. The second half looked phoney, everyone decided to copy Clark by rolling up their sleeves. Then after Kerry stood up to speak, most of the others started standing up to speak. It just looked dumb. I am sorry, this really left me feeling very empty. I still think Clark is the smartest one. Gephardt is the best politician. I don't want to, but I still feel like Kerry is talking down to everyone. The only good thing I can say about Lieberman is that his campaign stopped sending me mail after I wrote them and told them to stop sending me mail. Kucinich doesn't have a prayer and was treated like an afterthought by the panel tonight. I am just very frustrated. Sorry for the rant, but I am sure I am not alone.

1. I called CNN and left a long message

Told them that Judy was not supposed to act like a candidate. That she was interrupting....and rushing certain people through...being a big defender of Bush......WTF?

Question about a new direction for America...going to Braun...and not to one of the Front runners...ridiculous.

And that sorry analysis afterwards...Gergen and Schneider acting like Republicans....saying basically that Clark was finished somehow.

This was not a debate....this was a CNN rigged rater getter!

2. I agree! It seems counterproductive! Help is on the

way with Al Gore's new tv station!

3. I agree

there has been no improvement since the first one. I wanted 2 slap woodruff any number of times. I soooooo wanted someone 2 say something 2 her. Shots of the audience reflected this I think. These men should B thanked 4 running instead of treated w/ contempt by these media whores.

5. All the media whores are feeling the heat...

To work that much harder to "diss" the Dem candidates, with Dub & Co. now in so much trouble. Hence the shrillness of their belittlement of them. it's really sad...

B-)

6. I have not seen it yet

but have read about it here. I will be writing to CNN tomorrow. Why didn't one of them just say, "We want his job. Why should we be nice?" Or ask her if she was going to put them in time out if they did it anyway. I mean really, what was she going to do about it?

4. Kerry Was Talking Down To Rush Limbaugh

I'm not sure if level of discourse is too high for you, but I didn't feel threatened.

7. Excuse me Dr.,

But I am in no mood to let your comment pass. Kerry's discourse is not "too high" for me. Your tone is uncalled for.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. You're the one who said Kerry's talking down to everyone

so...... what level are you occupying?

[madaboutharry]

9. forget it.

10. They won't but should.

This is why we've ended up with an idiot in the White House. the format was idiotic...

the moderator was worse than idiotic...

the questions were absurd...tho even evil Greenfield and Crowley were better than the poor "voter" plants...

I just am at a loss about how to counteract this travesty that puts our candidates in such a mediocre forum.

Should we just buy time?

Instead of contribute to campaigns...just frickin' buy time for them?
