Maybe Ron will get a fair shake now that Hannity isn't here to deny the results of his own polls. I hope Ron Paul is given an equal amount of time to speak as Guliani and Romney.

Posted By Ron Nebraska : August 14, 2007 12:12 am This is not true...they are no more or less manipulative than the democrats. When the real republicans get back in office the country will be much better off...unless you like being controlled by the government, then you better hope for the democrats to win.

The problem is we don't see these candidates actually debating the issues, going back and forth actually kind of hammering out a consensus position. Do you ever think you would see one of them (if we were treated to a real debate) stop and say, "You know, that's a great idea you've just spoken of, if you would take that and maybe do (or not do) this....." and have the other respond with a "oh yeah, that would make sense, I never thought of it that way..." It'll never happen in our current climate. All we're gonna get are 30 second sound bites, slogans and politically correct terminology with either more of the same or mud-slinging retorts. Every one out to prove their case and not willing to give any kind of compromise. I'm tired of the "well, my opponent would have you believe..." We need someone that's a fresh change from the status-quo. Have a good day, Chip Bob from S.F. has it right: "Debate means 'back and forth discussion'."

I was pretty embarrassed for my country (not the first time!) watching the debate. As a Democrat myself, I was hoping to be represented a little more intellectually than that. We've reached a pathetic low in the political process, and these aren't really "debates" so much as candidates just respond to questions they were probably expected to be asked.
