America is at a cross roads between a socialist oriented society and containing down the road of capitalism and free enterprise.

Basically we either defeat socialism in the election or arm for civil war.

One of the biggest clues is that the MSM is trying to convince us that Julie Annie won. I call BS on that.

That leaves “Christopher”. That’s what REPUBLICAN voters are going to take from this and remember. They hate the media, they love when the media gets smacked, and Thompson did so effectively.

I haven't seen it yet... on a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 = "I paid for this microphone", how would you rate it?

I don't know if one can "win" or "lose" in this current MSM-soundbite-circle-jerk they call a "debate". At this point it's about meeting expectations, not making any major gaffes, and getting some face-time. In that sense I think Thompson did well. This is proven by the fact that his normal detractors couldn't really find any major faults with his performance. If I had to criticize him on anything I would say he needs to get into more specific policy positions, but in the current format there's really not time to do that.

I would like to see a series of real debates in a traditional format, where there is time for substantiative rebuttals, with 2 candidates at a time and a real, intelligent, serious moderator instead of an angry shrieking little midget like Pissy Chrissy.
