Do All the GOP Debates Matter?

The Debates matter because we get to see how stupid some of these candidates are (for that matter, most all the GOP candidates).

Issues matter and when we see all the fruitcake nonsense they talk about at the recent debates, you just have to wonder what planet are these guys form.

That is exactly why Willard Romoney refused to any more debates. IT was getting to revealing that Willard is dumb and the only thing he has going for him is the billionaires who are paying for his candidacy.

Tired of all the same every four years....all they do is bash each other instead of talking about what they plan to do if they get elected. It is ridiculous and it happens every campaign. All of America is sick of it.

The Born American commentator criticism of the GOP Presidential hopefuls,the President,the media gives the appearance of Ships at sea engaged in political warfare, with Destroyers.Dive Bombers,Submarines firing away with torpedo s,bomb shells and other heavy artillery in hopes of fighting for the key position to destroy the enemy. The commentator pictures Obama as the Dictator who has the sole power to change the US into a socialist power. I thought we built the check and balances system into our constitution that would prevent Dictatorship. I am also a born American and still believe in our system of check and balances and the Constitution of these United States. The people will decide as they always have,who will end up as our Commander in Chief when the Political Battles end. God Bless America

I've always had the impression that news reporters were smart because they had to clearly communicate events that were occuring at that moment. I've had this impression for many years, but after seeing the Florida Rep. debate on Jan.26,2012 on CNN which was moderated by Wolf Bleitser I've reached the conclusion that ALL REPORTERS are nothing more than a bunch of IDIOTS! I felt as I followed the debate that the moderator Wolf Bleitser was deliberately pitting Mitt Romney against Newt Gingrich in order to stimulate the debate and possibly to give the impression that Mitt Romney was more presidential and in control of any situation confronted at him by Gingrich, or any questions in general by the moderator or by the audience. As I witnessed, Newt Gingrich tried to offset any personal questions and any debating .. regarding his and Romneys disagreements, to rather discuss Americas problems and how to solve them. And yet the moderator did'nt care and continued to prod these two gentlemen into attacking each other. Why? Is it because CNN prefered to have an exciting debate from two candidates over something that has been discussed many times before, than rather discuss what the American people are really interested in, how to reverse the failed Obama Socialist policies and get America back on track and Americans back to work. For more than five years Mitt Romney has spend millions of dollars into preparing himself to run for president and yet I got the impression watching him studder, roll his eyes, and trying to think of answers to questions during the various debates against Newt Gingrich, that Romney is unprepared for the gruelling questions and attacks that will be directed to his person, income, exaggerations and the lies that will be thrown at him by Obama and his cronies. I also felt that the media for some reason since the beginning of the debates have been grooming Romney to be the front runner. Why? Is the media setting Romney up to go against Obama who will use racial and street ghetto tactics against a rich white guy, and blame all of his failed Socialist policies to help the poor on the Republicans. A man the media has protected and not criticized at all since he became president, only the media and those within the previleged circle know why. And it's becoming very clear that there is a hidden agenda within the political system, a controlling faction that is manipulating the media and the American people to go in the direction that the factions want. America needs someone NOW, who is knowledgeable and prepared and won't studder or hesitate for answers when challenged, someone who will confront Obama and his lies. Someone who knows what the American people need, and will announce loudly all of Obamas failed policies and his trying to destroy the Constitution, and trying to convert the America we love into a Socialist/Communist country. VOTE SOC/COMMUNIST BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA OUT 2012!! VOTE NEWT GINGRICH IN (AMERICAS HOPE) 2012!!!

The GOP debates matter.

The American people are getting to see just how ridiculous the Republicans candidates are.

These debates have exposed the lies and deceit to the light of day.

"Sunlight is the best disinfectant," as Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said.

And we all know what happens to vampires like these GOPers when exposed to sunlight.
