The current financial crisis alone is evidence of that. Still, watching politicians banter back and forth can be tiresome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-63295439993859602932008-10-09T01:45:00.000+02:002008-10-09T01:45:00.000+02:00Since I am not in the US I don't really watch =D E...Since I am not in the US I don't really watch =D Even if its the elections here I dont watch too lol...but I guess US politics does have an effect on all of us, economically speaking, even debateable issues as such... gmiragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277125581984131413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-78597623974111070062008-10-08T21:42:00.000+02:002008-10-08T21:42:00.000+02:00"McCain's condescension, grotesqueness and unworka..."McCain's condescension, grotesqueness and unworkable policies will nauseate you."<BR/><BR/>Yeah, this is why I couldn't bring myself to watch the debate either.<BR/><BR/>- PhoebeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-23708184353723069432008-10-08T20:36:00.000+02:002008-10-08T20:36:00.000+02:00Gilahi: Took me a second, too, but when I did get ...Gilahi: Took me a second, too, but when I did get it, I laughed out loud.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Holly: I think it will take more than alka-seltzer to get me through this debate. The minute McCain opened his mouth, I turned it off. However, you make a good point about at least being able to discuss what was said. I should probably watch it just for that.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cele: If he goes back to Crawford, probably. If he goes back to Houston, probably. I'm with your mother on this one: enough already. Let's vote and be done with it! I can't imagine there's going to be much that will change most Americans' minds at this point. I daresay the majority of us know who we're voting for and for those who are still uncertain, just throw a dart. 50/50 are decent odds for either candidate. (Okay, seriously, I don't mean that last part, but I am ready for this election to be over already.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-25450800887427483692008-10-08T18:02:00.000+02:002008-10-08T18:02:00.000+02:00Ducks every where are shamed.I didn't watch the de...Ducks every where are shamed.<BR/><BR/>I didn't watch the debate, I took my mom out for her 73rd birthday dinner. She a die hard, vote the party line, Republican - me a leans to the left independent, it makes for interesting conversation. Politically I rarily agree with my mom on much, but she made a comment at dinner that struck a cord with me. I asked her if she was going to watch the debate? Her reply, "No I'm up to here with it all, two years of hot air, I know who I'm voting for let's do it already."<BR/><BR/>Now I agree, I've known for a good five months who I was voting for, maybe longer, we're beating a dead horse. In my own opinion my mom didn't watch the debates (something she's been freverant in the past about) because she's backing a ridiculous ticket. I don't watch the debates, because I 99 percent, never watch the debates. <BR/><BR/>But it has been an incredibly long two years of hot air. I would much rather read the talking heads recap... thank you for all the links.<BR/><BR/>Even though I am a Duck fan, ha ha, quack quack. Too funny. I wonder if that village will be happy to get their idiot back?Celehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471318342104018488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-26101274067516412192008-10-08T17:41:00.000+02:002008-10-08T17:41:00.000+02:00I got up and watched the debate on Youtube this mo...I got up and watched the debate on Youtube this morning. I know who I'm going to vote for--and I've been volunteering at my Obama headquarters--but I wanted to be able to talk about the debates. I recommend watching it; you'll feel more confident in your choice. But keep a couple of alka-seltzer on hand, because McCain's condescension, grotesqueness and unworkable policies will nauseate you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-20222997859413652942008-10-08T13:06:00.000+02:002008-10-08T13:06:00.000+02:00LAME DUCK!
