Another Debate?!

Last debate tonight...Is anyone else as excited as I am? Well, I'm sure most of you are just as excited as I am, which for your information, is not very excited at all. I was very excited to watch the first debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. I was even more excited to watch the insta-classic, clash of the titans debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. Both of those anticipated events were tragic disappointments as far as I am concerned. What the hell was I expecting? Did I really think that the candidates would go toe to toe and discuss and argue on stage things that I would find interesting and exciting? The truth is, I don't have any freaking idea what either of those clowns are saying up there, and after about twenty minutes, I could care less. I've heard the same cliche, stock phrases spewed over and over again. What I enjoy way more than the debates themselves, are the emails I receive from factcheck.org that inform me on all of the things that these guys are saying that are complete and total BS. If you have read previous posts in this blog, you probably know that I tend to lean slightly to the left. I think that has more to do with the foul smell coming from the right, rather than a strong allegiance with the left. I do not leave Obama out of these criticisms. He has spewed just as much bologna as McCain has during the first two debates. I also believe that he has said more things of purpose than McCain has. Either way, my real point is that these debates suck. I don't really know why exactly, but they're borderline impossible to watch. They agree and agree and then they disagree, what about? Oh whoops I must have missed that. I'm very excited to get out and vote on Nov. 4th. Mostly because all of this garbage can stop being thrown around in front of my face.

Great blog posting. Your comments are, in my opinion, right on the money. I watched the debate tonight, for just about 30 minutes, and you're right, it was VERY hard to watch. Neither candidate answered any question directly, at all. It seemed all canned, like they had their answers prepared and no matter what the question was, they used that answer. I also appreciate you citing factchecking.org, a very reliable source, for your information. Great job and very well done!
