The Debates Who Cares?

Good TV who cares about it.

Last Tuesday it was the Presidential Debates, yesterday it was the Vice President Debates.  I pose you a question Who really Cares?  I know some of you will say it matters that So and So are Republicans and Who and What are Democrats.  The real issue which is getting clouded by political retoric is which platform do you prefer?  The Republicans are For/Against Abortions, For/Against the right to life, For/Against Gun Control, For/Against the Death Penalty, For/Against taxing the Rich, For/Against Medicare, Social Security, Gay Marriage etc.  Name a position, domestic policy, Economic policy, or Foriegn policy  and you will find a Republican on both sides of the issue.

The Democrats are Against Gun control, Abortions, Birth Control, Pro Life, and taxing the Middle Class.  They are for the right to life, birth control, Gay Marriage, Social Security, Medicare, and care for the homebound.  Economically they are for repairing the mess created by Wall Street, the Auto Industry, and the Oil Industry.  They are for holding responsible all parties involved in most disasters if they can be found.  They depend too much on the intelligence Community to provide information that they could collect just by watching television.

Again the Question have the Debates really changed your mind or are you just looking for someone else to pummel because they are not either Republican or Democrat just like you?
