Last nights ‘debate’ revealed two things: the candidates are eager to perfect their talent for mud-slinging, and the press still lacks the knowledge of how to best serve the public.
Gingrich attacked the press, rightly so, for focusing on rivalries among the candidates instead of on what each candidate will offer the citizens as our president.
Even if the press did not play devil’s advocate the civil tone in this nation’s campaigns has been on a downhill slide for a long time.
Most people want to hear what they are going to do for us, some people want to hear them tear each other down. The press plays to the lowest common denominator actively seeking out that which shows the most drama and I am fed up with it.
The press is not serving the public well when they stoop to reporting on these schoolyard brawls. Find some maturity
Chris Wallace should be ashamed of himself for going for the juggler with the loaded inane questions he put forth.
Pawlenty said that Bachmann was just a loudmouth in a dress. His opinion of a fellow candidate has no place in this debate. We the public have our own opinion of each of these candidates, we want to learn why we should elevate our opinion of each candidate based on what they can offer us as president not on how well they can put each other down.
I for one am sick and tired of hearing candidates tell us how bad a choice the other candidate will be. I want to hear how good YOU will be.
To all candidates: Please put this nation’s best interests ahead of your ego. We don’t need another photogenic, smooth-talking, mud-slinging, mouthpiece who’s opinions only come from the teleprompter.
Where oh where can this candidate be?
