175. As far as I can see the "debates" are rigged and nonsense . . . .

Edited on Wed Aug-11-10 07:36 PM by defendandprotect

we have two private political parties running the debates by agreement --

with a PRIVATE CORPORATION in charge of the debates!!

No, thanks --

Yes -- I do watch a few minutes of them to see if anything honest and/or spontaneous

is going to happen -- but usually not -- and I tune out.

But, I do generally try to read TEXT of the debates --

The debates are purposefully limited in scope so as to turn off the viewer --

An excellent way to judge that is to watch when third party candidates are included in

the debates -- they are always far more interesting in subject and scope.
