I thought I was going to have a stroke. I couldn't make it to the end.

Please tell me this was the last one.... it was, wasn't it?

2. A great debate was destroyed by biased questioning with negative intent.

7. Only people watching are those who have already decided who they like.
I have watched about ten minutes of it, during commercials of what I'm really watching.

Nothing new. Same old Hillary with her sea bass eyes, trying to sound like she's not a loon.

10. I had to stop with the gun question
starting the question out with the Virginia Tech shooting and then asking the candidates to make a split second decision on the Supreme Court case over the D.C. Ban was too much for me.

The Case that went through the courts and is being deliberated by the Supreme Court.... but our candidates are supposed to be able to have all the knowledge and information about the case to make a decision right now. blach.

12. I tuned in for about 2 minutes and then switched back to Countdown.
I'm watching Criminal Minds now.

ABC sucks major ass. How Chuckie remains the top evening news show is beyond me. Maybe that will change after tonight's "debate."

13. I'm a West Coaster who stopped watching it before it started out this way.
Thanks to all my fellow DUers who helped me waste my time on this disaster!

19. Started late, finished early.
We started watching about 15 min. late and just gave up watching it. I left when the woman from PA had the lame ass question about wearing a flag pin. I could not stomach another minute of it. I live in CO so the debate has another 75 min. left.

21. We obviously know who ABC favored.
:eyes:

I turned it off at 8 and turned it to Ghost Hunters on SciFi.

ABC is off my channel list.

I'm already upset just reading about it. I'm gonna delete it and watch my other recorded shows.
