Last night's debate was sickening
Thanks God the Republicans are more fractured than we Democrats, but what I saw on last night's debate was sickening. The MSM played both Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama for chumps. Here's the debate in a nutshell:

CNN/MSM: Senator Obama, here's what Hillary and Bill had the temerity to say about you. What's your reaction?

Obama: Senator, stop lying about my record!

CNN/MSM: Senator Clinton, here's what Senator Obama had the monumental gall to say about you and Bill. What do you say to that?

Clinton: Senator, stop lying about my record!

John Edwards: What about me? I'm running for President too!

CNN/MSM: (whispering to each other) I thought we excluded him? No that was Kucinich.

Clinton: Stop calling me a racist, boy!

Obama: Stop using push polls calling me "Barack Hussein Osama" saying, "Once a Muslim, always a Muslim! Electing him is like surrendering to the terrorists!"

Rotten! Rotten! Rotten!

3. Gosh, I was all wrong to think it was pretty good, especially Edwards. I hope you get your nausea
taken care of. MKJ

6. I didn't like the tone of the debate either. It was a lot
of Hillary and Obama sniping at each other with Edwards just trying to get a word in edgewise. They'd be better off saving the vitriol for the repuke in the fall and sticking to the issues.

8. You got my point.
We've got to stop letting the GOP/MSM define the debate and defining who our candidates are. Thank you.

:hi:

7. I thought it provided excellent evidence that both Hillary and Obama
have ego-driven runs for the job. I'm not saying that Edwards doesn't have an ego; anyone running for POTUS has to have a pretty good opinion of self.

But I do think Edwards is more committed to serving the needs of those who aren't represented by Republicans, and it shows in how he conducts himself and runs his campaign.
