    Primary debates fact check

    It's so funny how in every debate every politician skews the facts and figures in their favor. It's hard to believe anything these guys have to say. I'm also disappointed that not one of these guys have come up with any reasonable, detailed solutions to any of the problems they site. Politics as usual i guess.

      It's unfortunate that the courts have protected politicians right to lie.

        Why is that?

        I don't like the debate formats in general. They ask complicated questions and expect them to be answered in only a minute or two. So everyone is forced to spout out talking points and rhetoric without going into any detail. It's unfair to the debaters and the audience. Then of course the media can only cover the superficial answers anyway so no substantive information gets through to the audience.

          Yeah I completely agree with this. I hate how they are set up.

              the general tone of his questioning was slanted, shallow, and generally boring
              as for being an ass its because he chose to ask questions the way he did, from a liberal bias, instead of from a neutral position as he should have done

                  Rick Perry pulled Ron Paul to the side off air and threatened him.

                  Fuck all the candidates, Ron Paul's the only one spitting some real shit up there.

                    I think Ron Paul is the only one with a passionate base, even though it may be too small to win. I haven't seen a passionate following behind the other candidates like Obama had in the primaries. I think Fox is trying to create a stir around Perry, even though the more he talks, I don't think he's got a chance.

                        As for tonight watching, big talking points so far. Unfortunately this is also just talking points. Most people will never look at the meat and potatoes of the bill to see if it actually lives up to the hype.

                        Edit: Yeah, negating the conditions on the benefits for small businesses, like the restrictions that they will get benefits if they hire but only if they retain...
