I missed the debate last night - I'll have to tune in to NPR to get the highlights.
I saw their FIRST debate, however, and I have to say that it terrified the HELL out of me - I had gone into it assuming that McCain would go down in flames. But the fact of the matter is that he was horrifyingly eloquent (even if the was full of shit... What SCARES me is that the average American is too dumb to KNOW when he's full of shit). The average American doesn't seem to know the difference between actual answers and gross jingoistic generalizations made to galvanize "patriotic Americans." I shudder for this election. I truly do. :(

Its kind of funny, here we are less than a month away from the elections, everyone here, for themost part, seems to be on Obama's side if for no other reaason than Mccain seems to be "more of the same" crap we have dealt with for nearly a decade, which is funny since I predicted after Kerry lost that whoever ran as a democrat in '08 was going to be a shoo-in, and oddly I'm reminded of something Rod posted a while back, which turned out to be absolutely true:
Republicans in office, especially during a war, are great for the horror genre. think about it, there have been some really great horror movies come out in the past few years. Between the two of them, they create the perfect real-world paranoia and mood for both inspiring horror and putting people in the mood for it. That said, I'll gladly take another slew of pathetic Japanese rip-offs if it will get the economy back in line and get me a house and the ability to not spend half my paycheck to live indoors...

As far as Ron Paul... I have mostly Liberterian beleiefs, and tend to side with the Trey and Matt from South Park on most things (they are both vocal Liberterians), but the Liberterian candidates always SUCK. I have wiped Ron Paul from my mind , but i do remember thinking he was an idiot.

I think people should vote considering people literally gave their lives so we could have the priveledge.
But McCain! Really. What are the Republicans playing at? The best candidate they could find, was somebody who wasn't as good a George Bush eight bloody years ago! Obama is about change, and that is EXACTLY what we want. Whether you like some of the things that are gonna change, the current situation is still absolutely shit.

Ask an American kid about the political environment in England and you'll probably get a response like this: "Like, i think the King should really care about the environment over in England."
