Every other credible candidate was willing to let the voters know where they stand on issues. But not these two. They apparently need not debate anyone else either. Our system is broke...

I guess they figure any self-respecting dictator wouldnt stoop to public accountability. They dont feel they need to pander to the public, they have it locked up. What are we going to do? Vote for somebody else because they didnt answer our questions?

Yep, the system is broke and its our fault, the people as a whole are altogether ignorant of whats really going on or they assume they should support "My country, right or wrong".

If a nation expects to be ignorant—and free—in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never can be.
___Thomas Jefferson, 1816

I am ashamed of America, the people should be clamoring to fire this idiot Bush.

I'm guessing because they are lying criminals with extensive records of criminal activity to cover up.

No more so than your average Republican, or Democrat, so you probably shouldn't sweat it.

I'm sure they are not out making international enemies for your children to die fighting.
