[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 894150, member: 2189"] At some level, I actually agree with Perry about these debates. Just because someone "wins" a debate doesn't translate into a good leader or in this case a good President. These debates IMO in their structure are just opportunities for 30 sec. soundbites and a chance for candidates to catch another in a gotcha moment. It's like watching Jackass waiting for the guy to crash his nuts on a stair rail doing something we all know is stupid. Sad that America is not bright enough to have it's intelligence insulted by this nonsense but then Bernays and Lippmann made a nice career and industry knowing and manipulating this. In no way do these debates allow for deep policy discussions and analysis of what a candidate would do once elected. Historically, what voters are told in campaigns and what actually happens after election are vastly different. I don't watch debates because I find them on the same mindless order as something like American Idol for politics. Besides, the debates are truly only of value for those putting them on as a means to be relevant in a supposed national conversation. [/QUOTE]
