(tiny diary)
Our candidates, no matter how we might feel about them, are both far too intelligent to be wasting their time and ours by participating in conversations under village idiot control.
There are many questions both candidates still need to be confronted with on stage, by actual thinking humans, concerning Iraq, healthcare, civil rights, torture, lobbyists, and the economy. And these questions need to be framed within the context of reality, unlike everything we've seen thus far in this campaign.
CNN has been doing the better of these debates, but that's pathetic, because they're still completely awful. And not because they were in the tank for Obama. They certainly were not. They're in the tank for McCain, along with the sub-human apes on MSNBC.
They wear it proudly, too. "Senator ____, in November, you will face a Heroic Immortal War God who will be able to say that you blah blah blah" ....
I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'd really enjoy a debate, but I haven't been able to, because the hosts of the parties live on a strict diet of McCain's BBQ-Ribs and Ambien.
Kos is pro-Obama. Jerome is pro-Hillary. There would be no venue more fair to everyone involved. They're both also very smart, informed leaders of the American Progressive Movement, and I can't think of anyone else who deserves the right to question our two weathered candidates if they're ever going to debate again.
