I don't see why the debates should be canceled.

They are a big deal and I would think now both of them would want us to know where they stand, how they can do under pressure, etc. Bush debated in time of war. Reagan debated in time of war.
I'm not bashing him or calling him chicken as it has been implied. I just think now is the perfect time to hear from the people who are supposed to represent us, especially considering one of them is going to be the next President. Postponing them is not going to help the economy at all, if anything it is just going to cause more speculation, which I personally am tired of - on both sides.
I wish he would extend that halting campaign thing to all of the commercials. I could certainly live with a break from all of those - on both sides. Thank God for DVR and recording everything, I can just forward them. :)

No debates, true...but townhall meetings are not debates....
and it is true that Barack refused all of them. I think it had to do with the format of a town hall meeting. Just my opinion...
well then we canceled each other out.
lol. But I will have had NOTHING to do with giving them the reins, and I hope you don't have buyers remorse if you wake up and realize you ain't in Kansas anymore. lol.
She will do well at the debates s/m
I believe she described herself last night as a "pit bull in lipstick." Biden is already at a disadvantage, he doesn't wear lipstick. She'll walk all over him. He is also a pit bull but they aren't on equal footing. She's a female. Enter McCain's plan to take the election.
I'm sure there will be, after the debates. nm

post debates
since your first post you have attacked liberals and liberal ideology. either you are a neocon or an unhappy liberal. either way, post positive things and I and others will respond..post debates and I and others will debate..dont come on this board and attack..
I can't wait for the debates...sm
And yeah...I agree Hillary lost her thunder when it became evident she was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
can't wait for the debates
A constitutional lawyer is pretty . . . good . . . in debates.
Correction...about 22 debates....nm
He said this during the debates - I hear him -
Obama said then that things he wanted to do would have to slow down and take a different timetable because of the economic conditions. That he knew choices would have to be made on what could go forward when.
Who's been having *nice debates* here this week?
When you people bring your rudeness to this board, it's never nice.
I'd like to hear from one liberal poster here on the LIBERAL BOARD who thinks you are nice.
are you really that afraid of open debates you need to
reduce yourself to name-calling?
I am unsure who to vote for but one thing I know is it will be for whoever is going to make my life better.
Democrats might tax but the taxes go toward social programs, libraries, schools, afterschool programs, playgrounds, all of which are almost nonexistent where I live now since the last 8 years. Rich people walk around here like they are royalty, they pay no taxes and have no care or interest I helping those less fortunate, spare the very few who do.
the more I see on TV and the more I read on boards like these it seems to me republicans are afraid of democrats. when you see Bush sneering and snickering (many examples on youtube) he is not doing that towards democrats, he is laughing behind the backs of all the republicans who believe his lies. I think the joke is actually on the republicans more than democrats.
I have never seen such people be taken advantage of, and love it so much.
send your children off to war to die, give up all your social programs, take more out of your pocket, all so the rich people can slither around this country at their will with no responsibility toward it. that is left to the poor and the nonwhites.
I am starting to see the bigger picture here, I think Republicans do not believe in social programs because of greed, because no one should be able to make money unless you have the right skin color. Say, how many blacks in Alaska, anyway?
lets all lie down and just die for the rich republicans. here, take my money, my children, my hopes and dreams, my pride - just take it all and make sure to give me absolutely nothing back. Right on!
That's the best suggestion I have heard yet regarding the debates. nm

We will see on Friday. No teleprompters at debates. nm

We've been having nice debates over there this week
and I know gt enough to know she couldn't be hounded of a maximum security prison shower. I personally don't command anyone to leave unless they are childish enough to start calling people losers or other names like that.
No debates yet because neither one has been officially nominated as the candidate! nm

Debates---sara palin looks terrified!!
Alaska!!! I don't even know where Joe Biden is from and I don't care!!!
Just peeked in on the Conservative board, looking for some *nice debates*
All I saw were you guys *applause applause*-ing each other and the usual ragging on all liberals. Then I saw ONE courageous soul who attempted to debate with you, followed by the usual and customary *stay off the board* warnings to the poster.
So it seems you guys consider nice debate as ganging up and attacking posters who disagree with you.
Maybe that's the problem here. We view nice debate in two different ways.
We view it as being nice to other posters and not personally attacking those who disagree with us. We don't claim to know what they are thinking and feeling in their minds and hearts, and we find those who insist on being nasty to others very distasteful and crude. We don't LIKE to act the way that you neocons act. We'd rather be friendly and civilized. That's why you're not welcome here. It's not because of what you believe. It's because you are unable to act like decent human beings, and you don't know how to treat other people.
If I remember correctly, in the debates he said he would be happy to pay more taxes.
