These are not debates!
There
has not been a true debate in my lifetime. Are there any history buffs
that care to share how long it has been since there were actual debates?
What happens today is nothing more than cookie-cutter propaganda and showmanship. A substantive and philosophical dialog cannot take place in the current settings. The candidates do not get enough time to speak, and they often fail to use the time they get to answer the questions; instead, they artfully attempt to gain emotional appeal. They often banter with one another and toss around catchphrases and slogans. The whole thing is disgusting. They don’t all get asked the same questions, nor do they get equal time to speak.
Sadly, many Americans are uninformed beyond reading the newspaper and watching their propaganda box. People either do not know how to do their own research or are too lazy to do so. Most of us subscribe to media sources that make us feel good and comfort our views; they tell us what we want to hear. We would not be in this mess if people were more interested in the truth than being told what they want to hear.
Look at these people's records; HOW COULD YOU TRUST THESE PEOPLE? They are politicians and liars; they will tell you whatever you want to hear to get elected. Look for the candidate with a consistent record who talks about principles and philosophy and has a record to back it up, then you will have a candidate to vote for.
