No more debates? Not if they're like Arizona's debate

Watching the debate from Wednesday night, I was again taken aback, and when the moderator near the end said that this might be the last question of the last debate, I became almost giddy. No more of these ridiculous debates! But then I thought, have they talked about anything that impacts people's lives and are on most people's minds? So I totaled the time and the topics, and here's what I found. Sixteen minutes were spent on birth control and the Obama Health Care (Thankfully, they didn't want to talk about social issues), thirteen minutes on the debt, 12 minutes on earmarks, eleven on education (No Child Left Behind), nine on immigration and Iran, seven on the auto bailout, six on Syria (without saying any solutions about the current conflict there), five on women in the military, and three on taxes and Arlen Specter. How many minutes were dedicated to jobs or the on-going housing problems? That's right, none. So does this mean the GOP doesn't care about these two topics? Only Newt talked about growing jobs, and this was when talking about the debt. Does anyone think the American people don't care a lot more about those two topics than any two topics that were discussed last night, including the debt? GOP, you can blame CNN if you want, and they are partially to blame for the questions. If there's more debates like the one in Arizona, don't bother. If you aren't going to talk about the serious problems facing the country, don't be surprised if we don't take you seriously. And very little of it will have to do with your puritan social values.
