Yes, and what we saw last night wasn't even a debate. It was more like an inquisition. There was no back and forth of ideas at all.

The debate I'd like to see in the fall is one between the parties. I have no idea how it could be structured, but it would help show voters that you really shouldn't so much choose between two candidates as you should chooses between the ideals espoused by each party.

Or maybe it's a trial I'm wanting, lol.

In this envisioned debate or 'trial', I'd like the Republican party to have to account for the last 25 years of the Reagan Revolution and defend the direction this has taken the country.

Deregulation, destruction of unions, a new 'shadow banking' system, a widened gap between rich and poor, endless tax cutting that hasn't brought business prosperity, ramped up military.....and what do we have to show for it all as a country?

This is what I'd like to see debated. It's the question I have to clench my teeth from asking my Republican friends....who are all despondent over the Bush years but grow rigid at the thought of voting for a democratic presidential candidate.

They see Bush as a failure but don't see that he represents what the Republican party morphed into over the last 25 years.
