I've had it with this stupidity

I'm fuming as I watch the Democratic "debate" on abc. I feel like I'm witnessing stupidity, greed and fear murder hope and reason right there on the TV.

Where to start?

A video question form a voter was played asking Obama why he doesn't wear a flag pin. This just after Obama got through explaining how the American people are too smart to be distracted by manufactured issues.

I see the two clowns moderating, Gibson and Stephenopolis, as ridiculous stooges of ABC's corporate interests; they are charged with sensationalizing our democracy to sell toothpaste. The selfish, lazy, greedy fools masquerade as journalists to gain attention and advance their careers. They spend the first twenty minutes harping on fake issues that have nothing to do with running a country. They cater to the absolute lowest common denominator... guns and god.

This is the environment in which Senator Clinton appears to thrive. She misses no opportunity to try out a new persona or a new angle from which to sling mud. I find myself unable to believe anything she says. As a Democrat and informed voter I'm supposed to assume that she will "do a good job" and "can't be any worse than Bush" and I should just vote for her because she is "better" than McCain. I see it differently. I believe the President should be a leader, not a secret advocate for some agenda that I am supposed to be satisfied with.

Yeah, I think McCain is worse than Clinton. No, that is not good enough for my vote. If she and the corporate media (NY Times included by the way) somehow manage to derail Obama, I will be the bitter one. Let her compete for the guns and god vote with McCain. The country deserves exactly what it elects.
