Watch the debates on C-SPAN.

[Direckshun]

Avoid MSNBC, Fox News, and even CNN.

If you read political blogs, avoid them for a day. (Edit: That includes Drudge, pete...)

Avoid all commentators. They tell you what you think, and you will barge into DC threads simply repeating what some fat asshole with an agenda said.

Think for yourselves.

That is all.

Paul is terrible in debates. Didn't you watch any of the primary debates? He is either nonexistent or he spends most of his time touting the (to the general public) unpalatable aspects of his ideology, and he always comes across as whiny and uninspiring.

Everyone got a turn as front runner last time around, except him. A big reason for that was because his poor debate performances keep him from getting traction with average voters who know little about him.

at how big a day this is in the life of Direckshun....
THE DEBATES ARE HERE!!!!!1111111111

So why would someone encourage people to avoid discussion and analysis, in favor of just going by how the debater makes us personally feel?

It doesn't matter if you vote Obama or Romney.....they're one of the same, cut from the same cloth. The rhetoric is just different. Look at 2008.....people vote for Obama because people were so fed up w/ Bush and the republican party, it really didn't matter who ran as the republican nominee because they had no shot at winning. It was pretty much "Vote for anyone who isn't associated w/ Bush or the republican party." This year people are so fed up w/ Obama they will vote for Romney because "he's not Obama". And this shit is going to go back and forth. Romney was already pre-selected in 2008 to run for POTUS this year.

It's a giant fixed game. Nothing but a fake dog n pony show. None of these crooks give 2 shits about what's best for the country. Until people realize that, there's no hope at all for this country. We will fall.

I would just LOOOOVE to see a presidential debate between Ron Paul and Obama. That would be epic, and Paul would put a ****ing clown suit on Obama.

Change that to Rand Paul and I can't really argue with a thing.

I like Ron. I think he would be much much better for the country as POTUS than either Romney or Obama, But public speaking is not what Ron Paul does well.

Most people go with Style over substance and Obama would murder Paul in style points.

Tough to guess who the majority of the media will declare the winner, irregardless of who really wins

I think they think it makes them more sophisticated or something. I'm not going to watch the debate live (I'll try to catch a replay on the net later), but if I were going to watch, I'd try to watch the version hosted by Megyn Kelly of FoxNews:

What agenda is that? To make up your own mind?

Okay. I watched the debates on C-span. Obama got his ass handed to him.

Unfortunately for him, this is how Paul can come across to others during debates...

Okay, that obviously didn't work. Maybe it would have been different if you just listened to the debate on the radio.

No, scratch that, Obama sounded bad too. Next time, don't watch the debate or listen to it, just read a cleaned up transcript provided by the Obama campaign. Yeah, that's what you need to do.
