Pardon my extremes...but I refused to watch it.
Its just another "pretty pony" show...trot out the fast talkers, empty rhetoric and promises and once again, we lose focus. REAL WORK is not being done, bills are being shelved and special interests and lobbyists steer the entire campaign. My Rep. in the House, the "esteemed" Chaka Fatah (D-PA) has been absent for over 8 months, "campaigning for the President." But, boy... he sho finds time to appear MSNBC.
2 years of blah, blah, blah. US has the longest election cycle in the world. Canada's election cycle is only 36 days! Australia wraps it up in 2 months! Entire news/blogs rehash candidates images, issues, sidetracking buffoonery for 2 whole years. Mind-numbing polls, debates and gossip makes a election today.
Meanwhile, back in the communities.....nothing gets done but more repressive and invasive police state actions...and the decimation of the social safety net.
Pretty stages, judgements based on appearance and speaking style mean nothing to me. Not until you abolish the Electoral College, will you ever have something called "one man, one vote." (See Bush vs. Gore, 2004).
(since Im up here..one more thing. Tax the Churches! Thank you for your time....)
