... than watch these bloviating frauds give the long version of their 30-second TV ads, which we'll be privileged to watch at least seven thousand times once the primary season kicks in.
And I expect that, as usual, the one with actual ideas and a track record of leftist, progressive activism, the only member of congress to introduce articles of impeachment (on cheney, but that's probably a better start anyway), the only one advocating single-payer universal access, rather than some sham that allows the goddamn parasitic for-profit medical industry to have a place at the "new" table -- just like the current one, which they've torn to shreds in service to their market-based credo that there's no such thing as enough...
In short, the only actual Democrat of the bunch, the only one of the pack who actually has something to offer besides go-along-get-along is, of course, marginalized, ridiculed, interrupted and generally held up as an example of everything bad about the old democratic party, which allegedly represented workers and other oppressed and downtrodden, while the rest of them -- scrubbed and coiffed and manicured and oh so on message -- represent the new breed democrats.
They're largely indistinguishable from republicans, except in their political ineptitude and naive inability to use their rare majority status to accomplish anything more adversarial than refining their BushCo suck-up conga line moves while sniveling to the very same corporate androids as the GOP fellates for ever more campaign money, so they can crank out ever more sucky TV ads, which will drive us very near to plucking our eyes out to save us the horror of seeing them one more time, and then they go back to their campaign "donors" so they can cadge more money so they can crank out ever more sucky TV ads... repeat ad infinitum.
So no, I didn't watch the "debates," as they're quaintly called. I watched some baseball, paid some bills, played with the cats, force-fed my wife my hideous cooking, and generally had a pleasant and message-free evening, unsullied by desperately hilarious appeals to voting blocs of all descriptions, and ridiculous claims of intrinsic American goodness. I suppose somebody must have bashed BushCo a bit, and I hear Wolfie did his usual excellent imitation of a functional human, but IMO you've really got to be a political junkie before you'll get sucked into these fabricated arguments, which eloquently tell the back story of our total lack of political courage or leadership. I mean, DK the glaring exception, is this group supposed to represent the very best this country has to offer? No wonder we're seriesly screwn.
