I must confess I did not watch the debate last night. Why? Mainly because I had seen most of the previous ones, and didn't feel a need to sit through another one. After hearing about the petty hackery of it all, I'm glad I didn't. Had I subjected myself to that mockery of journalism, I probably would have thrown my laptop through my TV.
Why is it that in this time when there are so many substantial issues to question the candidates about, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos chose to dredge up crap like Jeremiah Wright and Tuzla. They even brought up Obama's "terrible" connection to a former extremist who's criminal actions took place when Obama was EIGHT YEARS OLD.
Ten bucks ABC wouldn't dare lift a finger accusing old Gramps McCain of any of this stupid crap, other than to ask "Is Reagan the Best President Ever, or the Best Person Ever?".

Durrrh....I r stupid, I vote for Obama!
Preznit Clinton, why u call I stupid?
Of course, Mr. President, the reason I support Obama is because I am stupid. I am too stupid to realize that the 90s were a golden time for the poor. High paying jobs were plentiful for the working class, and nobody was left out from the prosperity. Your presidency was a completely prosperous time, with absolutely no part in the mess our nation currently is in. I remember all of the workers in Danville were just ecstatic about losing their jobs to Mexico in the name of global trade.
I don't believe Obama is saying there isn't a difference between your administration and Dubya's. Any body with half a brain can tell the difference between a middling caretaker administration and a Buchanan/Harding level disaster. You also didn't get us into a Iraq level clusterf**k, and for that I thank you. However, your administration wasn't exactly Camelot. Too often you and your DLC pals bent to the will of the GOP and your corporate masters. Rather than working to make NAFTA and other trade agreements more equitable to the workers of our nation, you instead ignored them in favor of Wal-Mart and other behemoths.
Look, I am a believer in free trade, provided it is fair trade. I understand that muscle work often goes where it is cheap. However, I don't know how you could view what happened in cities like Danville, IL or Springfield, OH during the 90s, and not expect the working class to feel that the Democrats didn't have their economic interests in mind.
In truth, I believe a lot of this hot air coming from President Clinton is based on his bloated ego. Not being able to accept the fact that maybe, just maybe, some people don't consider him the paragon of the Democratic part is driving him nuts. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb young voter.

Thoughtful Comments? From a Politician? We don't pay them to Think.
How dare you Senator Obama
That Ivy League elitist Islamoterrocommunoafroterrorist Barack HUSSEIN ObAma has been at it again with his comments that are nuanced, thoughtful, and make some sense. Shame on him, doesn't he know you need to run your campaign like all Americans are moronic and inattentive preschoolers? No good could come of a president who actually treats us like we might be smarter than mildly retarded cats.
Seriously, the thought that a Senator who lives in Chappaqua, New York and a Senator who was the son and grandson of Admirals could call Obama an elitist is laughable. It doesn't look like Hillary is getting much serious play from these comments, and it could quite possibly end up backfiring on her.

Quick Hit-Enough with the ****Gate crap, please?
To the "responsible" media of the United States:
Please stop referring to every little scandal with [description of scandal]gate. It was old and hackneyed during "Whitewatergate", where it sort of made sense. Today it is just lazy and confusing, as if the original scandal involved water, instead of the Watergate Hotel.
I know this has been said by people far more influential and intelligent than I am, but I just wanted to get this on record. It is one of the many things that make me disgusted by the so called fourth estate, not even counting the embarrassment that is Faux News.
Sincerely,
Augstprairie

Horrible News for the Obama Campaign
This is just horrible news for the Obama campaign.

(Sorry...I know its late for April Fool's Day, but I couldn't resist. Stay tuned for a super serious discussion on something that makes this look even more foolish by comparison)

Really, a Politician that Treats Us Like Adults?
Silly Senator Obama. Doesn't he understand you can't be nuanced, fair-minded, or intelligent when running for President?
In all seriousness this is a great speech. Senator Obama once again shows that words do matter. Will this stop the Wright bullcrap? Probably not, considering Faux Noise has decided to continue pounding away on the issue. But it certainly reinforced why I am supporting this candidate, and once again showed how unfortunate our nation would be if we screwed up and didn't elect him in November.

Shame on you, Senator Clinton
Dear Senator Clinton,
We have put up with a lot of crap from your campaign. Whether it was the Inevitability Express, the constant moving of the goalposts, or the ugly sweaters of Howard Wolfson, we've been fairly patient. But the latest offense in unforgivable.
For shame, Senator Clinton, for shame. How dare you bring Sinbad back into the public consciousness. The American people were perfectly content to leave Mr. Sinbad back in the 90s where he belonged, only occasionally running into him on crappy VH-1 shows or a mid Sunday showing of Jingle All the Way. Life was good, knowing that he would not be in any way relevant to our lives.
I hope you can't sleep at night. I hope that you are kept awake, worrying about what hellish door of mediocrity you have unleashed.
