WORST DEBATE EVER!!!!!!
We are thirty minutes in and there hasn't been one question about Iraq, the economy, the environment, health care, or any other issue. It's all BULLSHIT HORSERACE QUESTIONS!!!

It's like a parody of a MSM debate.

5. Of course not, that is why they don't want Kucinch there. When they tell you
people are more concerned with the economy than Iraq, it should not surprise you, the MSM hardly mentioned Iraq before, and now it is only a passing glance

7. What I find interesting
Is how riled-up Kucinich was able to get the crowd during the debates.

This is just plain boring. And lacking in substance.

12. I just made a similar comment in another thread
I said:

Stop with these crappy, piss-ant, questions!!!!

Ask about how they plan to leave Iraq!
Ask how they plan to fix the economy!
Ask how they plan to make more, and better jobs!

Stop these damn stupid ass questions!!

13. The WORST!!
GE/NBC isn't even trying to put on a national dialogue - they're sticking it in our face that we the people mean nothing to them but cash cows and taxpayers to fund their war profits. :grr:

22. The GE agenda....
Of course they want to try and divide the Democratic party - that's the only way a Rethug sneaks in.

Of course, I expected nothing less from Williams/Russert. They're both a couple of corporate propagandists.

24. if I hear one more platitudinous soundbite I'll go off.
Does anyone in the media realize how many important issues they are ignoring and how badly the American people want answers to the questions and the issues they refuse to ask. The candidates won't even say how ridiculous the questions are, they are content to just spout the same old same old.
It took a frustrated guy in the audience to yell out to Russert and Williams to stop asking 'racebaiting' questions. I had my daughter watching it, who'll be voting for the first time in her life in the general and she was completely confused as to why no substantive questions or answers were anywhere to be found. I had no explanation unfortunately. We just shut it off. Silly me, I thought I might be able to make my final decision about who I'm going to vote for on Super Tuesday, not from this debate.

25. At least you can hear it. The sound here keeps going in and out.
Just never when Timmeh or Brian are on. I missed most of Obama's answer on religion, and part of Hillary's answer on the banks.
