The Debates

Holy Fuck. I am so frustrated right now . . . Bush is lying, he's oversimplifying (Kerry: The bill didn't have an exception for the life of the mother. Bush: it IS that simple, he voted again a partial birth abortion ban! DID YOU MISS THAT?) Screw the women, it's about reproducing the Christians - the mom is what, 25, 35? She's alrady got one foot in the grave! But really, that's not what I'm mad about - I'm mad that so many people like Bush's "simple" language and "plain speak" when really it's just opinions that aren't fleshed out or supported or explained. Americans are dumb and they like things oversimplified - "flip flopper" is catchy enough for them to latch onto - explaining the 1/3 of one percent is not. GAH. Bush's response to the environmental stewadship question just made me want to vomit and then sling it at the tv; it was such bull shit. SUCH bull shit. But what can you do.
