Tonights Presidential Debate

Kronia · 10-08-2008 02:15

...is happening a few miles from me. It is the most annoying debate ever. Neither candidate seems to be gaining/losing any ground, they just argue over who is lying about the other person more.

On the other hand, this means that everything will stay the same. Which means that obama will win big_smile

Psuedonymph · 10-08-2008 02:17

It is slightly surly.

I still say that when robot intelligence and reasoning is at the same level of a humans I'll vote for McCain...maybe.

Piaqua · 10-08-2008 02:18

At least the moderator seems to have a set this time wink

Kstarr · 10-08-2008 02:19

yay obama! i haven't been watching it, i didn't know it was on, and i'm kind of too lazy right now to go upstairs and watch it =X

i DID drive an hour today to go register to vote today though!

MysteriaKiito · 10-08-2008 02:21

My husband is forcing me to watch it and trying to engage in conversation. But I'm all "duh..." and sometimes I put in a "they both suck" or "this is boring". <.< I don't like politics. lol

Kstarr · 10-08-2008 02:22

i have never liked politics either. this election is the first time i have actually cared at all

MysteriaKiito · 10-08-2008 02:23

Maybe my hearing is off but does McCain's voice sound a lot like Bush's voice? I swear to God I thought Bush was talking just now and I looked at the screen and it wasn't him. o.O

haha i JUST said that to my roommate! i can hear my neighbors listening to the debate REALLY LOUDLY though the wall, and i said "i hate the sound of mccain's voice. it's like listening to bush" and she was like "i know"

MysteriaKiito · 10-08-2008 02:27

Okay, at least I know I'm not going crazy or losing my hearing. lol

IUgyrl · 10-08-2008 02:35

That was an insanly boring debate. Although, it would be great to study if you want to learn how to answer a question without actually answering the question.

IUgyrl · 10-08-2008 02:38

OMG! CNN has the most pointlessly large group of debate analysts ever...

I put my voter registration in the mail over a week ago or so.. Don't remember exactly when, but it does make me wonder how long it takes to do through snail mail. D;

MysteriaKiito · 10-08-2008 02:41

OMG These guys are talking like it's football! My hubby is watching Fox News btw.

i missed the mail-in deadline, so i had to go register in person. i was so scared when i thought that i didn't get to register because i missed the (first) deadline. now hopefully i don't forget to vote in time!

Is your boyfriend a republican, then? Fox is the most obvious news station in their bias. D;

Last election, I was nine days too young to vote. )= I turned 18 on the 13th of November back in '04.

I think its the way he says "America". Every time he said that he sounded just like Bush to me!

The postmark deadline says October 6th for Texas...I do hope that the post office in this area isn't nearly as incompetent as the post office in my parents' area.

I just finished watching it because I am trying to decide on who to vote for. Watching it is like being in an elementary school or something, they are just trying to tattle on each other.

Does anybody know a good website for learning about the issues? I have never really like politics but I figure if I 'm going to vote for the first time then I should make an informed decision. What I want is something that says the issue, what the current administration is doing and what each of the candidates plans to do. It's so hard to find good information that isn't swayed.

it SHOULD be fine if you put it in a week ago. as long as you put it in by 5:00pm on the 6th, it should count. i wouldn't trust the post office that much though

Kronia · 10-08-2008 02:58

ugh...I HATE Fox news. There is so much propaganda and spin I get dizzy from watching even a few minutes of it...I mean, if I want to hear the Republican side of the story, I read the New York Post. If I want to have a good laugh at ridiculous nonsense, I watch Fox News. It is hardly worthy of being called "news."

lol I kind of feel that way about all the other networks! Unfortunately, journalism doesn't really exist anymore.

Kstarr · 10-08-2008 03:02

i thought it was hilarious how fox news only referred to the democratic convention as "the spectacle"
