A Canadian weighs in.
Edited on Thu Apr-17-08 12:38 AM by Brundle_Fly
Manufacturing is gone....
Barrel of oil was what... $117 today?
Afghanistan... Iraq... Iran...
Crumbling Economy...
Mortgage Crisis
Nafta...
War Crimes...
TORTURERS!

This debate was like a cheaper episode of TMZ, its not gotcha politics, the candidates would have been treated better by Fox News.
A sad day for democrats & Liberals all over. I have never EVER seen anything like it.
Personally, I think you should storm the media outlets... they are seriously one of the most dangerous enemies of your people.

Or go pop your daily 50mg of pharmaceutical & Gov approved "blank stare" America.

Time to decide.

2. It was an outrage
These overpaid, jaded telejournalists think it's all a game, and even when their absence of standards helps result in the wrong war their culpability is completely lost on them.

Sigh.

4. Plenty of fight left. Sympathy premature.
But thanks for the advice and good intentions.

BTW - you have Harper to deal with at home now, don't you?

7. Liberals are polling at 55%
Harper is polling at 39%

This is even with the saddest & weakest liberal in charge....

Harper can't do anything as he is in a minority government, so he's been completely handcuffed until we decide to un~elect him.

Don't worry about us. =D

6. An American living in Canada applauds you.
It was monumentally crass, and a grave insult to both candidates and to what's left of democracy in America.

11. Toronto here
for a long time. It's still remarkable to me that I consider myself in exile yet totally at home here.

13. You are right and I hope more and more people are waking up!
Just thought I would repost your words, maybe they will find there way into more peoples minds if its repeated over and over...it works for the government and the media and theirs words are usually lies that we end up believing?

14. Hey there fellow Beacher, you are 100% correct. They are the greatest enemy. Imagine life now
without the internet? Scary!
