I care very much what the candidates believe, as well as caring about personal freedom, financial stability and national safety, which is why I'm glad that none of the idiots running for the GOP nomination has a snowball's chance of actually winning.
Why do you feel the need to define my response as "having my knickers in a twist"? The fact that you find it necessary to demean my response in order for you to have a response is more a reflection on you than on me. I am not trying to counter your impression or anyone else's impressions. You are an obvious democrat whose sole purpose in life is to "talk trash" on behalf of "your team." I completely get that mentality.

Funny how the democrats created a derisive term just to demean the GOP field. I thought the democrats were all about choice. Of course, they have been boxed in by the DNC to vote for a tired retread in a pantsuit, (which, when asked to list her accomplishments in office, even stumps her) and a self proclaimed socialist who secretly idolizes Communism.

Looks like more Americans are willing to take communism over corporate welfare.

Not only should the GOP not air debates on the DNC's media outlets, I think they should stop appearing on them altogether. That might put the final nail in the coffin of networks like MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, etc.

FOX is the only one anyone watches, anyway. Just look at the ratings.
I agree with you it's about time these networks start acting professional or be on there way .

Actually, the sad thing is that most people who identify as conservative agree that crony capitalism and corporate welfare are destructive to this country and to the citizens. Yet, the leading candidate in the Democratic race is one of the worst offenders when it comes to siding with big banks and other corporations in return for campaign donations and votes. Don't kid yourself, corporate welfare is the creation of both parties and their life's blood. That will NEVER change, regardless of who is elected, until someone outside the inbred political oligarchy that exists in DC currently. And the likelihood of that EVER happening with the D vs. R, "go team go" mentality of the majority of voters today is a big ole goose egg.

Ahh you didn't possibly think they didn't show the same love to the DNC?

The rest of the world doesn't understand the difference between the Democrats and GOP. To them it's all the same thing.

Republican, Democrat, male, female, white, black, Christian, Atheist etc... Someone running for President needs thick skin. You're not always going to like the questions, you're not always going to control the message.

I could never vote for a leader who can't handle "tough questions" from debate moderators.

If you're President and are giving a press conference you need to be able to handle any question that comes your way. If you can't handle that in a debate why should I think you could do it as President.

Nice way to mock the candidates! You completely miss the point that the REAL losers are the voters who actually want to hear what the candidates have to say about substantive issues. YOU are the one that is inferring that the candidates want moderators that are "Rightest hacks."

Did you even notice how you refer to "Rightest hacks" and then you qualify the pejorative term as "so-called Leftist hacks" And I bet you tell yourself that you are open minded. You may want to check a mirror, your bias is showing.
