Taken to School

Why are we debating the reults of these "debates". They are not debates, just free soundbite commercials for the participants and the Democrat Party. There is almost no debating taking place and for the most part we're just hearing pre-planned canned comments from thier poltical advisors.

I will watch these wastes of time only when they decide on a single question (maybe 2) and the candidates are given time to prepare and the format is more debate-like with each perosn given time to adress the central theme and then they go form one person to another to adress the debated issues and points. The things are awfull!!! (The fact that I can't stand most of the participants doesn't help)
