RC: Who's using talking points? P:Agreed, it's this whole out of touch business, and Gibson helped feed the rightwing meme that any tax increase at all is a tax increase on the middle class. Well, yeah, if you're going to define middle class as make a quarter of a mill. tsk RD: Yeah, I was simply flabbergasted, I mean, there are debates where the moderators will do like a single round of questions that deal with controversy, and you get it done and over with and you move on. this was terrible.

It's pretty clear where his vantage point is, and the fact that HE can berate candidates for being hard on the middle class is beyond irony. Charlie Gibson is the pus of journalism - indicative of the infection, but hardly the source.

But it's definitely not a talking point you can use against Sen. McCain, whose son's are fighting for our freedom and safety (whether or not you believe that's what they are fighting for).

I had such high expectations about it - and when it was over I was cursing. Pity too - it could have been a great debate but instead the moderators turned it into an non-event that wasn't even comparable to he said, she said Junior HS Debate Club exercise from the school paper. I think E! moderators would have done a better job. Peace, =RD= I agree, Kyle. I had such high expectations about it – and when it was over I was cursing.
