George Bush To Use?
I don't know how many of you remember the debates 4 years ago between George Bush and John Kerry, But Bush was dismantled in their first debate. He was so badly beaten, that from that point on Bush wore an Ear piece and had people behind the scenes writing his debate material. So when the question was asked and Kerry was winging his answer, Bush was writing down what he was told through his ear piece and then just read it back to the Moderators. It was the biggest disappointment and a giant joke of a debate. Kerry asked if they could keep the A/C a bit cooler so he wouldn't sweat so much, and Bush said NO. But somehow Bush got away with wearing a wire! This time around this should NOT be allowed! If someone can't come up with an answer right then, that is okay, we are all human. But I want to see TRUE thoughts and ideas, and not what I saw 4 years ago. I don't put too much faith into the debates, but I do want to see how they act. I want to see if they have some level of believability. So some person reading what he was told to read, doesn't seem anywhere genuine.
So does anyone know if this completely horrible loophole will be allowed again? I won't even watch if they allow it. I can watch talking heads mindlessly reading teleprompters on the news. These are "Suppose" to be Debates! Not, "You secretly tell me what to say so I look good!"
