Thread Name: BS: Bush/Gore Round 3
Subject: RE: BS: Bush/Gore Round 3
I think Jim Lehrer did a lousy job compared to Bernard Shaw.

Gore did a good job, IMO. Bush just looked and sounded dumb and dumber. If he doesn't trust the federal government why does he want to become a major part of it. If he doesn't want the government telling people what they can and cannot do for healthcare, why does he then want to tell women what to do with their bodies.

Also, I got pissed at the commentators who talked about Gore being aggressive and commanding as though those were bad things. Don't we want a leader who can be both of those?

I think the really pathetic thing about this whole election is that they are both trying to please everyone; they don't want to ruffle anyone's sensibilities so they pander to all, thus giving us a bland diet with no passion to entice voters to get interested and involved.

It is a sorry state of affairs, that Lowered Expectations I spoke about before; I think we should ALL register as Independents. Make them squirm and really wonder what is going on!
