I wonder what people's feelings are about the upcoming debate ??
My feelings:
The sad thing is that debates today are all BS. They are usually asked softball or moronic questions and if it is a real issue, then they read a prepared statement from a teleprompter. They then lace this with stupid insults and jibes thrown in. It's all really bad theater. Read the transcripts from the Lincoln Douglas debates--now that was debating. If they were not allowed to read anything, had no ear pieces and no aides near by whispering answers and would honestly discuss the issues and what they would do to try to fix them then I would watch. Instead I'll watch "Keeping Up with the Khardashians"---it's more entertaining and informative about the state of our society then that debate BS.
