well crap. bush, the fuck, didn't fall on his face as i was hoping. they both had plenty to say and for the most part what they said came off as pretty intelligent. unfortunately, it was a lot more of the same. bush continued to regurgitate the same fucking shit he's been spewing since day one (although i don't think the dreaded term "weapons of mass destruction" was said once). it's like the same speach, different day (for both of them).
i feel like these guys have flashcards they must memorize with statistics for each possible question they may be asked. it's like a big national oral test and we are all grading them on who memorized the facts and delivered them best. the millions of statistical facts stated aren't even necessarily relevent when ABC's after show reports who's facts were actually right or wrong. there were so many numbers of this fiscal year's deficit and that econimic brackets' tax cut percentage, it was hard to keep up. bo-ring.
i do like some of kerry's ideas on health care, job reform and taxes... i'm just not sure he can actually do what he says. it seems an impossible feat. but bush's response to health is a big fat joke. he said america's health care is the envy of the world! i can think of a ton more countries that have WAY better socialized health care that are far more enviable than our mainly privatized version. when i have to wait for 2 hours to see my overly busy doctor at the "cheap" clinic and pay $80 for a 5 day treatment, i think we have a problem.
AND bush's answer to job loss... another JOKE. telling an unemployed person that they should use his eduction reform plan and go back to community college to get a job! what is that? what about the employees that have lost their jobs to workers in china or india? is going back to college going to get them that job back in our own country? i don't think so. ugh! i could go on.
the one major disappointment of the debate on DOMESTIC POLICY was there wasn't one single question geared towards the environment. i wanted to hear what these dudes had to say about that.
obviously i'm no political analyst, but the bottom line is i just hope bush, the big fat liar, gets kicked to the curb.

The strange thing is that in the USA 1$ of 7$ tax-money goes to social security . That's the highest amount worldwide, but the money isn't used right. Some people are having a lot of benefit and they don't want to change the system.
It's the basis of the system that isn't right in the US: companies that give politicians money... = stinks.
I wander also what happens with the human rights (death penalty in the US, Guantanamo), Kyoto agreement (25% of world polution comes from the US), 32 million Americans living poor, ...
The good news is... no matter what happens I am leaving the country. Tee Hee Hee.
I hate bush- but I really don't like kerry that much either. About half way thru the debate I wanted to stop eating my sushi and ram a chop stick in my eye. I just hate politics and even worse politicians. And I am so glad to be rid of it for a while.
I say that but then I realize I am going to italy that has the most rediculus politics in the world- no infastructure, no health care, no welfare, nothing. Oh god- and even worse I am about to go and become an imagrant there... dealing with red tape and the nightmare of beurocracy...
After a few months there- I bet that debate and those sushi sticks are going to be looking mighty good.
