I'm kind of split on it. In a way, it was kind of refreshing to get away from the same old tired format. But it was kind of in a cutting your jeans to make jorts sort of way.

Thanks and they are..

After watching debates and seeing how all the politicians are pretty much the same old tow the party line robots(Republican and Democrat), I think this would be a great time to start the new reality show.. "American President".. It's only a matter of time before we start voting Presidential elections on our cell phones anyway..

Well you better get ready, because the GOP is going to do the same format and I guarantee you that it's going to be 10 times worse with those personalities.

Bull crap!

Thompson will pull a Hunt for Red October line and say, "A Russian doesn't take a dump without a plan son."

Or, "That dog ain't gonna hunt."

:thumbsup:

Change Russian, to Islamist for the times and its viable.

As far as the debate goes, I didn't watch it but I heard that they kept referring to us as "The Richest Country in the World", and then went on to let us know that each of them want Universal Health care. Sorry Dems, but if you keep pushing Universal Health care on us then you are going to lose your followers because all of them know to get your health care plans that it means more taxes and that's something this country doesn't need right now.

Transcript: CNN / Youtube Democratic Debate ANDERSON COOPER, CNN host: Good evening, and welcome to the first CNN / Youtube democratic presidential debate. We asked people from all over the Internet to submit questions via youtube.com, and the response was overwhelming. So, without further ado, let's jump right in.
Our first question tonight is Zach Kempf in Provo, Utah.
QUESTION: My question is: We have a bunch of leaders who can't seem to do their job. And we pick people based on the issues they that they represent, but then they get in power and they don't do anything about it anyway.
You're going to spend this whole night talking about your views on issues, but the issues don't matter if when you get in power nothing's going to get done.
We have a Congress and a president with, like, a 30 percent approval rating, so clearly we don't think they're doing a good job. What's going to make you any more effectual, beyond all the platitudes and the stuff we're used to hearing? I mean, be honest with us. How are you going to be any different?
SEN. CHRISTOPHER DODD: omg that video was totaly gay
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: Shut up Dodd thats offensive when u say gay like that.
FORMER SEN. MIKE GRAVEL: Check out my vids at youtube.com/user/gravel2008.
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH: to answre your question bush is a facist who only wants more power. hes not even the president you knopw, cheny is. i would b different because i would have a vice presidant that doesnt just try and control everything from behind the seens/
SEN. HILLARY CLINTON: CHENEY CANT BE PRESIDENT BECUZ THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THE VICE PRESIDENT IS NOT THE PRESIDENT WHY DON'T U TRY READING THE CONSTITUTION SOMETIME??????!!!!
KUCINICH: i have read thwe consititution which is probably more than youve ever read except maybe the back of a ceral box.
CLINTON: AT LEAST I EAT CEREAL AND NOT GRANOLA HIPPY!!!!!!!
SEN. JOE BIDEN: Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate with any integrity in this race. He's a TRUE PATRIOT, not a republicrat sellout like the rest of us.
COOPER: Let's move on to the next question.
QUESTION: Hey, I'm Mike Green from Lexington, South Carolina. And I was wanting to ask all the nominees whether they would send their kids to public school or private school.
GRAVEL: Check out my vids at youtube.com/user/gravel2008.
FORMER SEN. JOHN EDWARDS: When I'm president I will abolish school hehehe.
GOV. BILL RICHARDSON: Private school, because if you have ever heard the Pink Floyd song "Another Brick In The Wall" you know that public schools are not very good.
CLINTON: THAT SONG IS ABOUT ENGLAND SCOOLS U MORON NOT US SCHOOLS AND PINK FLOYD SUCKS!!!!!!
RICHARDSON: Oh, I'm sure YOU like really good music. Like Pussycat Dolls or some other mass-marketed corporate crap you buy at Wal*Mart.
CLINTON: U ARE SAYING THAT BECAUSE I AM GIRL AND THATS MISSOGENISTIC!!!!!
COOPER: I'd like to interject something here. That hour-long interview I did with Paris Hilton a few weeks ago? The guys at CNN made me do that. I wanted to do something about AIDS or drought or something, because I'm a respected journalist. Just so you know.
{Pause}
DODD: omg u r totaly gay
OBAMA: rotfl its so true

He was the reason I tuned in. How many times did he complain about lack of air time? I hope they keep him around for a while. :eek:lol:

Besides the gun question, I thought Biden came across better than the rest.

Biden gave the best answer of the night on Iraqi troop withdrawals when he basically told everybody they were blowing smoke when they told the voters that could just pull the troops out painlessly in the short term.

If that is their goal, last night's debate was a rousing success. Replace Anderson Cooper with Jon Stewart making fun of everybody and they could have aired it on Comedy Central.

I was hoping Jon Stewart would actually run and put humor back in the White House

Welcome back OWB - hasn't been the same without you.

Maybe instead of a snowman for the Rep version, they can field questions from Heat Miser and Snow Miser...

AC wasn't bad when he told Kucinich they tried but couldn't find anyone left of him.

Couple of other points:

-Was the reparations question really necessary? Seemed kinda stupid to me.

-Did Obama hurt himself by saying he would meet with dictators no matter what?

-Did Hillary really throw Chavez into the dictator mix?

That answer may come back to bite him. It sounded like an answer coming from a guy who wanted to sound progressive rather than sound Presidential.
