obsessive need that is
EDIT:
It benefits both sides at some level or they wouldnt do it time after time??? I think it has to do with the left’s obsessive need to make social issues ( gay marrige and contraceptives and soaking the rich) and avoid the real issues.
The candidates would rather answeer stupid questions than difficult questions?
This is how we end up with a rino Romney as the frontrunner. He is the best at answering stupid questions.
As we all know its far more important that a President look and sound good,even if he is a radical marxist or a fake conservative, rather than actually lead a country with real substance.
