Who else is boycotting the debate?

[mvd]

I am.. I'm not telling everyone else to, but I'm one Kucinich supporter who won't be watching. It is different when the rules are rules from the beginning. They changed the rules to silence his voice.

[New Earth]

1. I am

not watching the debate.

nope.

[AnOhioan]

2. Boycotting the popularity contest.

I really don't need to hear them anymore...they don't deserve my vote

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

3. What debate? Oh, you mean the beauty contest on MSNBC?

[Whisp]

4. if Dennis isn't there, there is no reason for me to watch.

I've heard this same hollow crap those 3 are yapping about for too many years.
same shit, different disgusting pile. only one corn kernel short of Bush's shitpile if you ask me right now. right now I am livid pissed.

[mvd]

7. Well, we probably wouldn't learn much anyway

Probably a lot of stuff about tactics. I think the most educational debates are past.

[DesertRat]

5. I'm not watching either.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Me/Us

Yep.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Why did they name it the Kucinich Debate in the first place?

[GreenArrow]

9. I ain't watching

.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

10. I am not watching

I am participating in threads where we are making up scenarios of what it would be like if Dennis were in the debates.

[WillyT]

11. Edwards -> Obama Supporter... Boycotting Here !!! - K & R !!!

Fuck 'em all for not standing with Dennis!

:nuke:

[PFunk]

15. Same here (watching the science channel instead).

I'm a Edwards supporter but he really let me down by not supporting Dennis on this. It also shows that the US no longer has any real news stations.

[HughMoran]

12. This is a critical debate including the next President of our country

I can't think of anything more important in my life right now.

[mvd]

13. I disagree about how critical this one is

I realize that some can get stuff out of it. But I'm pretty clear about who I'm supporting: Kucinich, then Edwards, then Obama, then Clinton.

[HughMoran]

14. I want to see how they move on from the mud flinging

In spite of the fact that the early questions are pissing off so many people here, I find the responses telling. I don't know all I need to know about these people and I know one of them WILL be our president from 2009 - 2013.

[mvd]

16. I don't feel like this debate will tell me what I need to know

There's still time to see how they do under pressure.

[HughMoran]

18. Perhaps

But we are far enough into this that I want to see history as it is being made - you just never know what's going to happen - in spite of how "polished" these candidates are.

[mvd]

21. Fair enough

I am interested in who our nominee is. I'm not a Kucinich or nobody person. But I don't think some of the debates are very substantive. Too bad how campaigns are so media-driven.

[Solon]

20. Its a debate between 3 people who, as far as I can tell, have personality differences...

not that many policy differences.

[Individualist]

17. I'm boycotting the dog and pony show.

[Raine]

19. I'm watching...

sort of(I have it on in the background), but it's boring as hell.:boring: I'm having a hard time paying attention.

[Ekirh]

24. That how I was. .

I went ahead and went on to something else... partlly cause I found it boring/partly I'm not feeling good and I was having a hard time concentrating.. and if I can't concentrate on what they are saying no point in watching.

Maybe I'll feel better next debate.

[mvd]

30. Hope you feel better!

I haven't been feeling very good since late November. Got a virus and then what I hope is just bad anxiety. Doctors say I am ok, but I wake up very tired even after a good sleep and my head feels achy and lightheaded a lot. Lots of this kind of stuff around it seems.

[marmar]

22. Moi.....Screw NBC/GE and their hatred of the democratic process.

:argh:

[Zorra]

23. Me, I'm disgusted at our war pig owned media, and disappointed with our "big three"

candidates for not standing up for what is right.

[stimbox]

25. I am and NBC, MSNBC, and any of their other brands.

Fuck 'em.

[Nictuku]

26. Me

[bdamomma]

27. I am listening to C Span radio. good enough for me.

[Pastiche423]

28. I am

Tonight, all three candidates are proving - we don't fucking care about anyone but ourselves.

I am praying for a brokered convention and I am agnostic.

[martymar64]

29. BOYCOTT!

I won't watch.

[NikolaC]

31. Nope

Not watching the circle je.... uhm debate. Same old, same old.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. Fortunately, I now have only basic-basic cable, so I'm watching

a rerun of a Frontline documentary on Cheney, which should serve as a reminder why candidates who trivialize the issues are NOT what we need at this point.

[G_j]

33. what debate?

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. There is a debate?

by the way I am a fan of we own the airwaves.. we need the league of women voters back in charge...

Oh and NO, I am not a DK supporter...

But I am not watching

[cui bono]

35. I started to stream it at work...

when I saw Dennis wasn't on it and heard Hillary talking I just couldn't keep it going so I closed the window.

Well msnbc just made up my mind on not going for the more expensive package in order to get their channel when I switch to satellite.

What a fucked up country this is where voting is controlled by private corporations and so are the debates and therefore the messages we get to hear.

Democracy is dead.

R.I.P.

[The Backlash Cometh]

36. As long as you're all avoiding the debates...

...why don't you drop in and help me figure out the answers to the questions that perplex us in our day.
