Though there have been so many now some just blend together.

4. Why even consider Anyone at this point?
Whatever happened to the days when the League of Women Voters would sponsor the debates.
And why the hell are we even holding debates when we really dont have candidates yet. Let these guys fight it out, let the voters sort it out and then hold debates.

The way we have it now, each candidates gets two or three questions and we are supposed to figure out who won from that????? Bull. :rant:

5. No union debate, no minority sponsored debates
Just AEI and Fauxnews approved sponsored debates.

What? Are GOPers stilling relying on caging and fixed voting machines?

6. Univision? Big, fat, and likely to be very well publicized mistake.

Most of the Republican field also ignored invitations to attend Hispanic-oriented conferences in Florida organized by the National Association of Latin Elected Officials and the National Council of La Raza.

8. They are also very afraid
of YouTube! All those unscripted questions from the unwashed masses too much for them to handle.
