    And with the exception again of Kasich, I didn't see anything of leadership in any of them. Makes me wonder how they all got where they have in politics?

    You mean John Kasich, "my great concern is that we are on the verge, perhaps, of picking someone who cannot do this job."

    Yep. He was 100% correct in that statement. Neither Trump nor Carson are ready. And I have yet to see anyone on the GOP side, except Kasich and glimpses from Rubio, who seems to have it together enough to respectfully take on the duties of the position.

    These guys who are leading the GOP pack make Hillary look like a superstar.

    Fairness is not the issue. The issue is asking questions relevant to the election, being president and not gotcha questions that nobody but the idiot moderator cared anything about.

    "Is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?"

    Really, what did we learn from this other than the fact the moderator is an idiot?

    They were disgusting. At one point, I just wished everybody had just walked off the "stage" rather than even try to respond to that foolishness.

    But I've said in the past, they need to stop referring to these as debates.

    I loved the moment that Cruz called out the moderators for their ridiculous questions. He did a fantastic thing last night and that was unite all the candidates against the moderators. I also loved when Rubio called out the MSM for what it is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, or more specifically Clinton. Cruz is my top pick followed by Rubio, so I'm happy with how the debate turned out. Bush is all but done, Trump is fading and the other 2 Republicans I absolutely will not vote for hardy register on the polls so I don't have to worry about them.

    The moderators were trying to debate the candidates yet again - they only do that to the Republicans. Trump was right when he said the MSM saved softballs for the other party only. And good for Rubio "correcting" that moderator on the details of his budget plan.

    Every one of the candidates knew they were stepping into hostile territory there, and they were right. I thought all of them did well considering, especially Cruz, Christie, Huckabee and Rubio - "rude even for New Jersey", lol.

    Yeah, Obama has whined over FOX News over and over again, but when O'Reilly interviewed Obama, he led Bill by a ring through the nose. Who was that, Huck, who said any of them would make a better president than what we have now? I agree.

    Amazing the difference 7 or 8 years will make when Obama was called the inexperienced one. Now experience doesn't seem to matter as much to the GOP.

    Breaking protocol here, but you're being too obvious:

    “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

    Amazing that you think just like him and his disciple Hillary,

    Hey I say what I say. Wrong is wrong and the truth is the truth. i just know that the more both sides keep doing whatever they think the other side has gotten away with, the more OBVIOUS it becomes that there really is no difference other than with those who think favoring one party makes them superior over another.

    I wish someone would ask all the candidates R's and D's some real questions. Like . . .

    Can you tell us which principle (individualism or collectivism) this nation was founded on?

    The supreme court has ruled at least twice that the sixteenth amendment didn't give any new powers of taxation to congress, so what's up with the income tax?

    Do you know what a constitutional dollar is?

    Is the Privately owned Federal Reserve system a privately owned corporation?

    If you answered yes then can you tell us who owns it?

    Why not?

    How does it create money?

    Can you tell us where to find congress' authority to delegate it's constitutional authority to a privately owned corporation?

    Why are there only six giant media corporations?

    Why do 100,000 people die from prescription drugs each year?

    Can you explain why a vice president of Monsanto should be employed by the FDA much less have an executive position?

    Do you eat wholesome organic food or the chemical laden GMO packed stuff your campaign donors push on the rest of us?

    Do you have a right to know what's in your food?

    If you answered yes then can you explain why we don't?

    Too big to fail? What part of free market economy don't you understand?

    Can you recognize fascism when you see it?

    Can you explain what fascism is? You have five seconds to respond.

    Can you identify and explain what each form of government is? You have 60 seconds to answer.

    Can you tell us which form of government is guaranteed to every state by the US Constitution?

    Does 2+2=4?

    Which is correct, 5+5+5=15 or 3+3+3+3+3=15 you have five seconds to answer.

    What's more important to you honoring your oath of office or being loyal to your party?

    Can I quote you on that?

    What's more important to you honoring your oath of office or being willing to make compromises with the other party?

    Can I quote you on that?

    Are you a "natural born citizen"?

    If you answered yes can you prove it?

    Have you heard about the TTP, the TTIP?

    If you answered yes then can you tell us what's in them and how they are going to affect every American citizen?

    Why not?

    Who told you couldn't?

    Can you explain why the candidates in both major parties never want to discuss spending cuts?

    If we raise taxes on the rich won't they just raise prices on their consumer goods to cover the cost?

    Can you explain why that question is never asked in any of these debates?

    Wars, is there such a thing as too many?

    Interventions, can you name one that that we have been involved in since WW2 that hasn't caused more harm than good?

    Did you vote for the NDAA that gives the president the authority to arrest and incarcerate and/or execute American citizens without due process?

    If you answered yes, why?

    Have you ever heard of the fourth amendment?

    If you answered no, why not?

    If you answered yes can you tell us if the words "probable cause" are in it?

    I'll think of some more questions after I get some sleep. Anybody else got some real questions they'd like to hear all the candidates answer?

    And Crowley was eventually forced to admit she acted improperly. One requirement for democrats is that you be a successful LIAR. {Like all the PRO-life democrats on this forum!}

    Unless I am mistaken he has! Obama answers nothing he doesn't want to. It is only recently that he has been asked legitimate questions.
