- Might be nice if there was a bit more of "YOU DID NOT answer the question, do you chose not to do so?" as the whole thing just became repetitive "on message spin" with zero real responses. Facts it seems were a bit shy by most of the questionnaires, a wee bit to soft for any real info. Noted howl about "USA business hurting do to taxes, higher then most nations". BIG lie there as USA companies setting on nearly TWO TRILLION in profits and EFFECTIVE TAX RATE of USA lower then most nation, business and private, but that is never questioned. A bit more homework needed for questions, a few were great but dodged and never answered, Good try but needs to toughen up a bit as the pols get free pass, to many of them Noted NONE asked about pay-benefits cuts for elected, how come silence there?

- Liberal journalists attempting to explain macro-economics and baiting questions for the audience. Enough liberal talking points between each answer. They are so out there...

- because they produce nothing. They add nothing to the economy. One private sector job that actually produces something is worth TEN Gov jobs that cost you. That is the reason America is going broke because people like you are not educated enough to know that GOV jobs are not productive.

- You just have to admire the courage of the GOP going to the LIBERAL Propaganda Machine CBS and have a town hall meeting with only LIBERALS allowed to participate. It could only be Liberals because any decent independent or conservative would not be caught dead at the Liberal CBS slander machine. It is like when they do Pools it is always weighted 10 Democrats to every GOP or independent.

- This South Carolina governor used the same old Huckleberry Finn mentality, by avoiding the answer and white washing the issues. As long as the Rich Right winger, can tax(meaning the poeple being slave to her business partners)the people and pay low wages, and let the rich white Slave owers do as they please then come on over to South Carolina. Wake up and smell the coffee (being nice here. Once a Racist always a raciest. Read between the lines. Same stuff (again being nice) different day. Our country has gone to heck.

- These people didn't clarify one thing. One statement to Rebecca Jarvis was, "The Government doesn't create jobs, the private sector does". If this is true, why is the Federal Government the LARGEST employer in the country? The guy that said this was from Florida and didn't even give Rebecca a chance to talk. They are ALL the same......for themselves and their careers....everything they say is just "fluff" and a "smokescreen" to avoid their responsibilities to the American people! The voters that put them there!
