I thought that there was something fishy about the “Debates” between candidates at the time of the last electoral round four years ago.  Well I have just made the same observation in the current waste of air time.

If I read it right and I’m reasonably sure that I have made a correct assessment of these goings on, this whole process of “Debates” is a reach out for TV ratings and big bucks for advertising, and not the very least one heck of an ego feed for the moderators.

These blatherings do not really make any real difference in how the average voter is going to cast their ballots in November as most of them use their own personal yardsticks as to how they vote.

My final comment is quite simple, I will not watch the rest of the “Debates”, and I will not waste my time reading all the writers commentaries in the print media, and will hit the delete key on my computer if I receive the garbage in my e-mail.

I can do simple research on the candidates qualifications then make up my mind as to how I will vote. I will walk away from any conversation that makes disparaging remarks about personalities between the players, and I will not indulge in boring my readers and listeners with slanted, yellow journalistic remarks.

Yes, I will try my utmost to report factual information as I see it with the codicil that these are my personal comments period.

I hope you will continue to visit my blogsites and offer your comments as you see fit.

Debates are one of the few instances where you get the unfiltered look at the candidates: no commentary, no blogs, nothing but words from the horse's mouth. When it is almost impossible to get unfiltered information concerning the truth, this is probably the best chance to hear what the candidates actually have said / are saying.
