Gov. Palin and Sen. Biden Debate

I watched the Full Vice Presidential Debate with Gov. Palin and Sen. Biden on Youtube, all 92.5 torturous minutes of it, even though I’m not American and can’t influence anything got to do with the election. It's just that 'car crash watcher' mentality in me, fighting to get out.

I wonder what 'Matt' thinks now ? Probably - 'Hey she didn't even mention the dinosaurs."

I am compelled to share the planet with Americans. The vast majority of Americans I have personally met here and on both coasts of the USA are the salt of the earth, great people, superb professionals, intelligent individuals, good guys and gurls with their heart in the right place, filled with the ethos of the American dream, which they have successfully exported across the globe.

However ‘Reaganomics’, competitive greed, government ineptitude, a totally self interested, insular attitude, with only condescendingly occasional glances outside to see what can be grabbed, have soured that American dream and turned it into a Global nightmare, and now these two political puppets strive to be ‘as straight up as they can’ on TV & the web.

It was like watching a couple of middle class kids, argue in the schoolyard while trying to behave in front of parents.

A couple of things:

Drilling for oil in the ocean is not an option – when Americans pollute the ground, I’m forced to live with that, it’s their ground and they have to live with it, when they pollute the air, the Atlantic ocean actually goes someway towards absorbing that pollution and Sarah Palin wants to start messing about taking chances, drilling underwater, drilling for profits and more greed.

Her Ha ha, a team of mavericks and clean green natural gas !! was almost as funny as his grasp of ‘boz knee acks’. She is so artificially sweet n slick she’s transparently duplicitous, he’s so generous and steady and such a professional, making sure he adheres to best NPL practices, making sure that repetition, and focus and his best presentation techniques….. even though nobody apparently got his joke about never being the VP.

Tough to watch the warbling, difficult to digest the duplicity, hard to endure the sheer egotistical ignorance. It was actually dispiriting to watch of two professionally polished politician, dummy dueling, ultimately prompting nothing in this viewer only despair right now.
