Ouch!!!!!
I have been listening to the CNN debate between Democratic candidates. Its a tough call of which to be more irritated by, the format, questions, or the answers. Its a toss up. Why not ask questions that require more than a 30 second sound bite. Wolf Blitzer’s questions sometimes took longer than the answers. Wolf, if you have to explain the context of your question in order to ask the question, you need to find an out of work/striking writer to write better questions for you.
With the exception of Senators Clinton, Obama, and Biden the rest were just white noise. Christopher Dodd had occasional moments of vice president like inspiration, but for the most part was uninspired. I think John Edwards had the best point of the night. (Although I don’t know he made the point he was hoping to make) He told the story of when the Democrats controlled both houses of congress and the White House. They were debating healthcare reform and NAFTA. Edwards described healthcare as wanted by the American people and NAFTA as not wanted by the American people. The Democrat controlled government voted for NAFTA and against healthcare. John Edwards point was why trade one corporate controlled government for another corporate controlled government. Hmmm?
To listen to the group on stage, President George Bush controls all of the money in this country, absolute control of the military, and is personally listening in on all of our phone conversations. These people scare me!
