I'm hoping its really only the media pushing the sexist attack angle...I'd like to think that McCain and his campaign aren't that desperate...Hhmm, maybe I am.

Brand: When is the last time you heard these Candidates or the media talking about and issue and taking it seriously? These last couple of weeks I've been turned completely off of politics and the media because its been about bullshit story after bullshit story.

Well before the DNC I was ready to hear some actual merit worthy debate over the debt, useful vs. non useful earmark spending, oil drilling, iraq war. Fuck just about anything as long as it was coming from McCain and Obama's mouth's.

Instead all I hear is lies, mis-truths, ads about mis-quotes, and other shit which has nothing whatsoever to do with helping this country.

I'm constantly being bombarded about questioning a person's character because that's whats important when voting for a president? If I have to choose between an honorable, moral, cheerful, happy, courageous, man or a fucking bastard who will get the fucking job done and done right then I am going to choose the bastard every fucking time.

Yeah, welcome to being apathetic like the rest of us. Just pray that if these tactics (the sexist bullshit from the past week or so) do get McCain elected that he can't get any of his bullshit policies through Congress. And if they don't and Obama wins, hope they can't get together an infrastructure to allow the Dems to totally run wild.

Yup the Repubes made their bed now they can lie down in its filth!
It was Obama who founded his campaign on his own personality, who made his chief assets his charisma and public speaking ability. It was an intelligent move given his relative lack of experience. Why do you want to change the paradigm now? You can't have it both ways.

That is the reason I am no longer following the election. The media has let the McCain camp turn this election into a mockery. It is no longer about issues. Rick Davis has accomplished his mission.

Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain's presidential bid, insisted that the presidential race will be decided more over personalities than issues during an interview with Post editors this morning.

"This election is not about issues," said Davis.
If the red states elect a 72 year old coot and his hockey mom side kick using these tactics of "liberal media bias", and cries of sexism, fuck 'em. 4 more years of Bush is what they deserve. I will continue to live in my blue state utopia while they continue to lose jobs and go off to die in unnecessary wars.

Oh come on you have to do better than that. Name one time when Obama or his campaign has ever said that his campaign was not based on issues but on his speaking ability or charisama. Nice try to spin it but you fail.

Half of me doesn't want Obama to win because I don't want too much liberal power. A liberal congress and president able push though anything they want could swing shit way to far in one sides favor.

On the other side I really, really, really, fucking hate the shit McCain has planned.

Leaving a war with honor and victory? Fuck honor and victory its causing us massive debt and we don't even fucking know what we are doing there. Let alone why we are fucking there. Saving face and being all macho is bullshit. There are times for honor and victory and times to cut your losses and gtfo. 10 fucking billion a day when our economy is in the shitter is a time to gtfo.

Drill here drill now 10 year plan? Right because next year after the elections over the oil companies aren't going to start raising prices again right? I'm not convinced I want some real debate. Fuck I want to hear us getting off oil period. Priority numero uno. Do whatever to fuck you want as long as the goal is completely off oil ASAP. Drilling for more oil feels like getting off alcohol by brewing it yourself.

Earmarks. All earmarks can't be bad. Stop being against all or nothing thats a stupid fucking position.

Evil: Are you fucking kidding me? Destroy all evil? What's next are you going to cure aids in 90 days? Solve world hunger with a pair of tongs and a deep fryer? Happiness and PS3's for all? Fucking catch line bullshit.

Major issues that he can't affect yet talks about them: Abortion, gays, creationism in school. That shits never going to pass. Drop the issue. Talking about it makes no fucking difference. ITS NOT GOING TO PASS.

When has any candidate ever come out and said that their campaign isn't based on the issues? Obama beat Clinton on "hope" and "change" because he didn't want to compare resumes. It was the right move. The GOP countered and now its a problem? It's just sour grapes over being outmaneuvered.

This all illustrates the DNC's poor insight into what America actually is. The public wants to be entertained and titillated. They loved Obama and now they love Palin. No one cares about the issues and Obama astutely utilized this against Clinton. Are you really just now realizing this?

Don't get me wrong no matter how this election turns out I set myself up to benefit. I work in medical technology. I fucking win no matter what. It's just that watching people become dumber and poorer around me is kind of a downer.

Quality of life was just so much better during the Clinton years. I don't know how to describe what it was but having money or being well prepared while the rest of the country declines just doesn't make me feel all that good.
