Why Are People Against ABC's Debate Hosts Asking "Character Flaws" And

[a bush family member]

Allegiance Questions? We know "character flaws" and "signs of lack of loyalty" are not issues that are swept under the rug and forgotten about. The person being elected will be in charge of the most powerful country in the world.To Hero of the stupid:Critically analyzing candidates' character flaws is part of America's voting process. It has been that way since the founding of America.Also, that is being reflected in Yahoo! Answers's politics section. A large percentage of the questions asked deal with "character flaws" and allegiance.edit: Answers' not Answers's

Because Obama got all hissy when he was questioned. They've spoken before about the issues,now it's time to scrutinize. Turn up the heat.

[Hero of the Stupid]

you're right- screw the economy, screw healthcare, screw the debt, screw the war, screw the falling dollar, screw immigrationlets just all sit in a circle and talk about lapel pins

I think they were very generous to Obama to allow him the time and space to ANSWER the questions instead of doing what hes been doing for over a month- tap dancing around them.Is it the fault of ABC that Obama was entirely unprepared to defend his associations and actions? No. And it is not ABCs fault that Obama cries like a baby about not being fawned over.==edit==Angelica, far as I know Clinton is still prepared to debate. Its Obama who has decided he is too good to explain himself.

They devoted the first 45 minutes of the debate to getting the candidates to bickering and arguing. This was a ploy for ratings from ABC. Deplorable. We already knew about the stories they brought up.They have been been beaten senseless on the internet and TV. It was pointless. Goeoge Stephy was a part ot the Clinton team 10 yrs ago and that is NOT unbiased. But Obama did not bring that up. Despite that Obama rose above it all. He had the perfect opportunity to slam clinton re: Bosnia and he chose not to. She on the other hand took every opportunity to try and knife him at every turn. She is unscrupulous and vicious. That's the kind of tactics to expect of her in the whitehouse. Me, I'd rather have a man of integrity like Obama. Edvard: I seem to remember CLINTON crying like a baby re: getting asked the first question, even though NOW she is pointing the finger at Obama. LOL

Now it's about character.

They are afraid he might appear wimpy if he starts crying during the debates. Our candidates running for president need their character flaws examined because our prez is one of the most powerful politicians in the world. Wearing a flag lapel may not prove love of the flag, but not wearing a flag lapel certainly would make me think one might just pretend to love OLD GLORY (for which my several friends and relatives gave their lives). There is not a dime's worth of difference in either ones policies.
