After the 58th debate what more can they say? This is for both parties (not just Dems).... they never say anything substantial or even off the cuff... it is ALWAYS message then a staged and oftentimes stale joke (that someone else wrote) then back to te serious over-generalized message. Repeat this for an hour... with EVERY candidate.
I don't tune in anymore... I just read the newspapers hoping to decipher their "messages" from what they really mean to do (and its never the message). These debates are just a long political ad... I'm not interested. And that goes for the Republicans' version of this.

Yea right!! the Democrats are going to fix everything, The Democrats are just like the republicans personal money grubbers, Who do you think has the most earmarks (pork) of all the elected officials in our present government, well guess what, it is your own fix it lady Hillary Clinton, and every earmark is money for her personal bank account. You vote for who you want, but if you think any of these people running for office, be it a Republican or Democrat are going "fix it". you are deluded. This country is desperate for real honest leadership, and at the moment I don't see it in either party all I see are panderers,

I'm horrified with who we have to choose from so far. It's been looking like they're debating from a parade float, and all of their neat little ideas are like the candy they throw to the crowd.
"$5,000 for every child born in America!!!'
"oh yeah? Well I propose 'free' health care for America!!!"
"oh yeah, Well I propose free college for everyone!!!!"
When are we going to be promised flying cars?
And they just keep piling on these bogus ideas like they're going to do anything. Have people already forgotten the 2006 races? What has been accomplished that was promised then? Nothing. No amnesty bill. No impeachment. No pull-back from Iraq...nothing.
Personally, the transparency is also disturbing. Why would Hillary be hiding those documents in the Archives? Honestly? I think it's because she was 100% for the war and spoke with Bush to extend her support. Also, the fact that people continue to believe in these empty promises disgusts me. Free health care? Do you realize how many people think it will actually be free? Like a bunch of doctors, pharmacists, Big Pharma, surgeons et al just decided to stop charging people if one of these liars becomes president. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FREE!!! IT'S CALLED A TAX INCREASE!!! Now, I understand taxes to be a necessary evil, but there is absolutely no correlation between me paying more in taxes, and our education / safety / health / infrastructure getting any better that I've seen. In fact, things seem to be worse in my eyes. Education scores are getting lower, crime and violence are on the rise, police are being murdered at an alarming rate. That, and all of this money I'm FORCED to pay into Social Security? I'm NEVER going to even see it. What are we going to do about that? Slap another band-aid on it to cover us until 2012? How come nobody looks past 2012 either? Little too convenient if you ask me.
Then they talk about pulling all of the contractors out of Iraq. Instead of pandering to your base by making false promises, tell the reality of the situation for once, eh? The contractors in Iraq are there to rebuild what we blew up in 4 years of bombing raids. And you want them to come home now? Because the new buzz phrase in the news is "Blackwater"? Aside from abandoning them militarily, now you want to leave them with a broken infrastructure? Holed out buildings? Destroyed roads?
Does anyone think anymore?
And to top all of this off, if Hillary wins, then a Bush or a Clinton will have been in the White House since 1981. Two families for over 3 decades. That's a dynasty. What have these two families brought us in the meantime? At least 3 wars? A foreign policy that puts a bulls-eye on our back? Tainted toys? A dollar that's crashing? $3.00+ for a gallon of gas? Rogue nations seemingly get nuclear weapons willy-nilly now? Over-extension of credit leading us closer and closer to a recession?
I don't think I'm for anyone at this point, but I know I'd be terrified if Hillary won. This campaign season is being run like American Idol.

Biden was the only democrat that did well last night.
Obama and hiollary almost had a chick fight right there on stage. Dennis K was crying like the coward that he is./
Edwards looked like the stereotypical scumbag lawyer.
Why does the DNC oppose Biden so much?
Oh wait, he is actually electable.
The DNC cant start nominating the best person for the job now, why change the pattern of picking a sure loser everytime

Biden was the clear winner last night, with Obama coming in second. Hillary seemed foolish, but then again, CNN contributes to her, so you'd expect their so-called "pundits" would say she won, no matter what.
