1. Is that all? Seems like a lot more. n/t

[liberal N proud]

5. I was thinking the same thing

But look at all the gaffes

[The Genealogist]

10. I know...seems like there has been hundreds

I don't know why they have so many. How many times can you gush coded racist rhetoric and goad the audience into cheering for sick people to die, and expect to remain fresh?

[bigwillq]

2. Is someone forcing you to watch it?

I haven't watched a single one. Have only heard soundbites on news programs or on-line clips.

Wasn't there over 20 DEM ones in 2007/2008?

[spanone]

9. what makes you think i watch them

[bigwillq]

11. Then stop complaining!

[msongs]

3. sorry, disagree wit ya. let's have more of them, one a week would be great for 3 months nt

[Solly Mack]

4. I tried early on to watch but the sheer number of them did me in

I had to stop.

[DCBob]

6. They are trying to win by boring us to death.

it might work.

[demosincebirth]

7. I haven't watch any ot them. I don't do fools well.

[malaise]

8. I missed the last one

I opted for Betty White's fabulous birthday party and that was great

[Motown_Johnny]

12. NO! We Need MORE DEBATES!

All the attacks are pure gold.

The longer this goes on the more mud they sling. It is finally starting to get interesting.







Not that I watch any of them, I wait for Rachel and Ed to tell me about them the next day.

[Tx4obama]

15. Yes, having lots of debates have allowed us to see their true colors :)

If there were less debates then there wouldn't be as much of an opportunity for the 'truth' to come out and for them to be able to make huge asses out of themselves

[PoiBoy]

13. They've had 17 opportunities to catapult anti-Obama propaganda...

..onto our country... on a national stage... they couldn't ask for a bigger megaphone...

17 opportunities, plus the days of follow up discussions, soundbites, and various punditry that the corporate media whores subject us to... MSNBC included...

[Tx4obama]

14. 17 yes, and that number doesn't even include the Twitter debate and 'other' forums ...
