McChicken makes Franklin and Co. Roll in Graves

As the Centennial Institute prepares for their Gubernatorial “face off” on November 3rd, the Colorado Springs Gazzette today reminds Colorado that Scott McInnis forced the format terms away from meaningful debate and instead mandated a platform where  candidates merely parrot their stump talking points. The Centennial Institute’s mission is to “renew the spirit of 1776.” This is ironic in that a value in real debate is well documented from our founding fathers. They liked hashing out the issues- not candidate forums.

Abraham Lincoln also shared a belief in the importance of debate as it related to a healthy Republic.

Franklin and Lincoln would frown on McInnis’ notion that debate is a bad thing. Its ironic that McInnis will take the state organized by an organization whose very mission is to foster real, deliberate bebate just like the ones our founding fathers engages in.

Here is today’s story.
