In reply to the discussion: Check out what Michael Moore has just posted on his FB page... [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)Bringing it up hours before the third debate isn't going to make that happen, though--but that did make "the Faithful" believe that Saint Michael "cares" about it--when he might have spent a few pennies from his hundreds-of-millions to post an issue ad in, say, the NYT ...six MONTHS ago, to raise awareness and re-start discussion, if he was sincere. He could have made the talk show rounds, too, talking it up.
Those debate questions are worked up well in advance--griping, on the cheap, on facebook right before the debate starts isn't going to make Schieffer go "Ooooh, noooooo! Michael Moore put up a cheap graphic; I need to rework my questions, here!!!"
The topic would have been a good fit for the town hall debate.
Funny how MM helped himself to the very issue that was a signature cause for one of the Presidential candidates in 2000...the one that MM did NOT support.
