1. Done!

:evilgrin:

[rodeodance]

5. THANKS

[Lucky 13]

2. rodeo... not even you could think that was ok.

I mean they brought up Snipergate for like the MILLIONTH time. 30 minutes of tabloid journalism. Surely you don't think that was a good job by them?

[AZBlue]

9. Apparently Rodeo does. I'm floored that anyone still on DU would think that.

Truly amazed.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. DU has been infiltrated by a small but vocal group of bitter DINO's

Rodeo is their tag-a-long

[LSK]

34. rodeodance used to be a big CSPAN watcher/poster

Its really sad that his has happened to a formerly respected DUer.

To loose you reputation over what??? A mediocre politician? How sad.

[City Lights]

43. I remember appreciating her play-by-plays.

Oh well....

[VeraAgnes]

67. So, looks like you picked the wrong horse....

Hillary won this Debate according to all the post debate reviews.

[KAZ]

54. I used to love her play-by-play posts, when I was cube-bound.

Now, well, let's just leave it at that.

Edit: play-by-play

[aquart]

72. DINO, my ass.

That the totalitarian Obama supporters would dare to call someone else a DINO. As near as I can tell you are all utterly opposed to democracy.

[Joe the Revelator]

82. I'm standing here today supporting the same principals I've been championing on here for the last 8

years.

How about you, sweetheart?

[OzarkDem]

30. I'm a Clinton supporter

and I didn't care for it either. They seemed intent on making both Dem candidates look bad.

[NJSecularist]

44. Yes they did. And that's the biggest problem.

The first 45 minutes were dedicated entirely to GOTCHA questions.

Let me ask you, Ozark. I know you feel passionately about health care. Did you realize that there was not a single question about health care tonight? Does that bother you?

[OzarkDem]

75. Yes, I did notice

and I'm not sure why it was left out. I'm still pondering that. Its strange given its such a huge issue with voters this year.

[Lucky 13]

50. Ozark - Thanks for replying...

I think all Democrats and all Pennsylvanians should be pretty upset. We got cheated out of our debate. We just saw both our candidates get character assasinated on National TV. We could have actually had a debate about the issues and raised the level of discourse and focused on how the Republican ideas aren't working, but Charlie and George saw that didn't happen.

I hate this, but I stand here complaining about a problem and have absolutely NO solutions. No ideas. No way to make this better. How do we begin to take our media back? How are we ever going to change things?

[rodeodance]

55. I sent

a quick memo thanking them for the opportunity to see them talking in
in the debate--not all people can go to rallies.

i also said i thought they should have have spent
more questions on issures.
i left it at that.

[DemVet]

78. Better now than later.

For either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama, this will be old news by the time of the GE. It will have much less effect if brought up now rather than later.

[Moochy]

3. Thank you ABC for DISNEY LAND!!

don't make me take back your one-week trial un-ignore offer!!! :evilfrown:

[mckeown1128]

4. I did except it sounded more like

FUCK-YOU.

[jsmirman]

17. hahahahaha

:rofl:

Goodness, rodeodance is still at. Not one of my favorite posters here.

[AZBlue]

6. Thank them for attacking both candidates?

For spewing right-wing talking points at both Obama and Clinton? For acting like the National Enquirer and completely ignoring the issues while dredging up misstatements and bad moments on both candidates? Are you INSANE?

[Jane Austin]

7. For focusing on pure trivia?

No thanks.

This is exactly what turns average people off politics completely.

[LSK]

8. Im sure thousands of people who lost homes are thankful

As are the thousands of families of dead soldiers.

What is the matter with you? Can you get out of your brainwashed cult of personality for 1 minute and realize that there was no point to the 1st hour of the debate?????

[Thepricebreaker]

65. What does that have to do with ABC and the debate? Wow talk about left field....

[Liberal Gramma]

10. Did you forget your "sarcasm" sticker?

No one for either candidate could think that debate deserved any thanks.

[quakerboy]

Rodeo Can

Some people are here to advocate for a Candidate. Some people can't advocate because their candidates name is McCain and that wouldn't go over real well.

[quakerboy]

25. dupe

[Kittycat]

11. For running a repuke talking debate - devoid of issues?

[Stephanie]

12. THANK YOU FOR STOOPING TO THE LEVEL OF OUR DESPICABLE LOSER CANDIDATE HRC

[NYCGirl]

18. If Rodeo is one thing, it's predictable.

And a few other things I can't mention here.

[islandmkl]

13. yeah....as sean hannity would say to you:

"rodeodance, you are a good american."

'cause you are both definitely on the same team...

and, sad to say, you don't even have an inkling...

[NJSecularist]

14. You Hillbots are really getting out of hand.

This is another a partisan issue. Both candidates were unfairly asked a bunch of GOTCHA questions for 45 minutes.

ABC DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A REAL ISSUE UNTIL 45 MINUTES IN!

[cali]

19. you gotta cut people who are a tad slow, a break.

[rodeodance]

59. more personal insults. very immature of Cali. After all the lecturing you do to

hillary fans.

[thewiseguy]

15. Sorry to say you have lost my respect

[AllentownJake]

16. Oh

They'll be getting a couple of Thank Yous...I just started drinking.

[ampad]

29. LOL

I gave them a thank you as well only my daughter told me I needed the soap for the mouth after I was done. Don't hold out on us Jake come back and tell us how much looove you gave ABC. LOL

[derby378]

37. Come to think of it...

I still have some Jaeger in the fridge. Now would be a great time to take a sip or two! :beer:

[BlueIdaho]

20. Really?

So desperate you are willing to embrace a network using questions from Hannity to attack a fellow Democrat?

What a disappointment.

[Joe the Revelator]

28. these folks embraced Fox News long ago...when it became less about the democratic party

and more about one woman's ego

[NDambi]

21. where's thy rock Rodeno? I see your feet...lol

[Shakespeare]

23. Yeah, because it's so much more important to talk about lapel pins instead of healthcare reform.

You're fucking certifiable.

[ericgtr]

24. I did and asked that they fire those fucking right wing hacks

FOX News would have had a more fair moderating team.

[Blue_Roses]

26. get your head out of Hillary's ass...

long enough to see that this wasn't a plus for her, anymore than it was a bomb for Obama. It was a waste of time. The American people deserve better than this and you should be ashamed that you can't see past your bias long enough to know that there are REAL people, hurting financially out here in the real world.

[Shakespeare]

27. Yeah, because it's so much more important to talk about lapel pins instead of healthcare reform.

You're fucking certifiable.

[ihelpu2see]

31. For what? Charlie Gibson has got to be the worst news man in the business...

the whole "tabloid" and gotcha feel from the first seconds of the debate made me watch American Idol god forbid...

[uponit7771]

32. why? thx

35. K&R for Rodeo. Hillary rocked! And thanks for all you do for her Rodeo!

[Moochy]

38. Hooray for Delusional Posters!

:party:

[rodeodance]

57. Hurray for Hillary ---congrats gal.

[Moochy]

60. Woot for unbridled optimism!

Speaking of bridles, I'm off to brush my new ponies hair! :P

[Moochy]

73. Giddyup!

[rodeodance]

76. SADDLE UP

[Clintonista2]

36. Done!

[SOS]

39. Thank you ABC

I especially enjoyed the the first hour of questions taken from Nixon's 1972 strategy memos.

[backscatter712]

40. Oh, I contacted them alright...

ABC/Disney's going to pay for this hatchet job...

[Crunchy Frog]

41. Ah, they'll probably just assume you're Republicans.

They probably won't be too far off either.

[kid a]

42. I did - I thanked them for further vetting Obama - making him stonger in NOV!

Obama ruled this debate!
:hi:

[TexasLady]

62. agree totally!

:hi:

[CoffeeCat]

45. Thank them for being classless trash?

I don't get this.

I thought most DUers were on the same page--with regard to how trashy these questions were?

It was like watching a debate run by "The National Enquirer."

I thought both candidates did very, very well. They were both articulate, but gave no new
additional insights or policies--except for Hillary saying that Obama "is electable."

You are actually wanting to thank ABC for talking about flag pins, Bosnia sniper fire and
baking cookies---when Rome is burning?

I know we disagree on many things, but the notion that we should be "thanking" ABC for
producing a debate targeted toward toothless people who eat Hormel Chili out of the can--is...well, freaky.

[jefferson_dem]

46. You should be ashamed, rodeo.

This so-called debate was a perfect illustration of how the media is failing democracy.

Express your Hillary-love some other way.

[merh]

49. They don't get it.

If this is what they do in the primary, can you imagine what they will do in the GE - whoever is our nominee will be treated badly, will not be given fair coverage and all it will be is tabloid crap.

The hillary folks don't see that this debate is only a sign of what is to come if we "thank" ABC for its corrupt and yellow journalistic efforts.

[rodeodance]

52. ha!! the media has been all over Hillary for every word she says.

[LowerManhattanite]

69. To be ashamed...

One must have shame. Wasting your breath on this one. Not to mention that whatever reply you'd get would have such odd subject / predicate placement you'd need a team of code-breakers to decipher it. :(

[Moochy]

47. No Copycat Threads in GD:P

[newfie11]

48. Hillary blew Obama away.

He was playing catch up for the whole debate.

[rodeodance]

58. Yes, she did.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

51. Thanks for focusing on the important issues! Bush wears a flag pin, he must be the best!

[ProSense]

53. Hillary looked desperate! She brought up Farrakhan, and cat got her tongue after this:

Hillary And Obama Spar Over...Weather Underground:

President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me serving on a board with somebody for actions that he did 40 years ago.

[Pisces]

56. Fuck that

[NewHampshireDem]

61. Thank you ABC ... for putting the last nail in the Fourth Estate's Coffin

Democracy dies and Hillary supporters cheer. Why am I not surprised?

[Bjorn Against]

63. Ummm yeah...I thanked them....

I thanked them for reminding me that I should never turn them on again.

[BREMPRO]

64. OMG... they are getting SKEWERED...

for this so called "debate" in the comments by viewers. Trivial pursuit by the bastard children of National Enquirer and Faux News.. what was up with the fawning camera shots of wes Clark- hillary's potential running mate) that seemed PLANNED. how is that not Bias?

[zulchzulu]

66. Yeah, I wrote them a real nice thank you letter....

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

68. Should corporations even host debates?

Or should they all be on PBS?

[last_texas_dem]

70. Woohoo for debates about irrelevant bullshit!

Gooooo ABC! :eyes:

[mmonk]

71. Are you serious? Are you a democrat?

That was Fox written all over it.

[rodeodance]

77. I am a proud Democrat. Don't make yourself look foolish by asking that again.

[meow mix]

80. ya right.. abc gives a present to mccain and your happy about it.

figures, that speaks volumes to your loyalty.

[Jamastiene]

74. Done.

:D

[npincus]

79. Are you NUTS? Debate was NOT kind to HRC, either.

[Raffi Ella]

81. I did.

After hearing on the news they've recieved so much hate mail for their "treatment" of Barack I sent an email telling them how absolutly outrageous it is that the MSM has handled Barack with such kid gloves that when he IS treated as Hillary is EVERY DAY the public sees something wrong with it.

It's absolutly IRONIC. Proves JUST what a free ride Barack has had up until last night - THAT is the real outrage here.

[AX10]

83. It does prove that Obama has gotten..

the same privileged treatment that Bush had.
