Would you have more respect for T-Party candidates if they did not appear afraid to debate opponents?

I have no respect for any candidate who won't debate or answer questions from the news media other then Fox

Man, what shows are you watching?

Angle told little Cheri Reid to "man up" and held her own against that little loser from searchlight.

Rand Paul (not a big fan, but starting to like more and more) demolished CONway. He made him look like a fool (which he is). Even if the alleged college day incident is not an October surprise, can you think of any incident you had when that age that might not expose you to scrutiny when you campaign for office in your later life? When I was young I was wild.

Bachman is doing just fine the last time I checked and has more spine than most of the men in the Conservative party. What controversy are you referring to with her? The stimulus money? Are you referring to the debates with Clark and Anderson that are upcoming? Man, they are gonna have three of them between October 26 and October 31 (just a week before the election) and two of them are forums led by leftist leaning dem sympathizers (Minnesota Public Radio being one). She doesn't appear to be afraid to me.

O'Donnell is having some problems getting her message out because of being targeted by the pro lib lamestream media, again youthful indiscretions should not be considered as barriers to holding office. Isn't it interesting though that 'the bearded marxist' doesn't get the same scrutiny.

So what are you talking about? Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

that isn't actual. did no longer O'Donnell debate her Democratic opponent final evening? possibly Sharon attitude is fending off debate. "Will this be a mistake?" No for 2 reasons: a million) She's noticeably services to gaftastic moments 2) Her opponent is Harry Reid. I advise the certainty she's nevertheless ineffective even interior the polls would not say lots for Harry Reid.

You mean like debate on MSNBC? How about all the Demorats debating on FOX. I would have more respect for people that even know what the Tea Party is all about. So far most libtards have no idea and they claim to love to pay taxes which is complete insanity. I think most of them work for the government. Almost 50% of the working Americans now work for some form of government. That could explain why so many libs want higher taxes.

O'Donnell, Sharon Angle and Rand Paul have debated their opponents.

I don't know about Bachman because I haven't seen any of the reports.

How do you figure most of those you mentioned especially Rand welcome debate.

If you haven't heard Conway, that piece of slime, ran an attack ad on Rand that attacked his personal beliefs and were complete lies. Conway only wanted to talk about his attack ad instead of the issues. So why argue with someone who doesn't want to talk about the issues and just wants to call you names?

The only one in that list that didn't want a debate was Bachman, and now is planning on debating her opponent.

And these people DID NOT debate? Huh?

Why hasn't NANCY PELOSI been asked ANY hard questions? Like, "we have to pass the bill to know what's in it..." etc.? Why hasn't Obama answered ANY hard questions about Obamacare's pitfalls (like the 1099 debacle)?

All I care about is my candidate's VOTE. Are they voting in my interests or not? I don't care if they're slick or "look REAL GOOOOD on that thar teleeveesion..." I'll take the Sharron Angle crazy juice ANY DAY over the Obama Kool Aid.

Strange how each of those people have been very public and actively engaged in debates for quite some time. As far as Rand Paul goes, if my opponent stooped as low as his did, I wouldn't give him another chance myself.

You're really desperate. You remind me of Republicans in 2008.

Funny how you say that, but final debates before the elections, and we've seen increases in these particular Republicans' approval numbers. Keep talking, that's all you have.

Yeah, certain candidates like Sharron Angle were so afraid, yet she told Harry Reid to his face "Man up". Doesn't look like someone who's afraid to me?

They have debated. When the moderator and your opponents are both against you why submit to this more than is absolutely necessary.

They haven't spent years campaigning,raising funds and debating.

These are not your common life long political moondogs.

They are the folks down the block.
