I did, time to wake the fuck up and start paying attention people. Alot of interesting things happened, like the question of the drinking age being lowered to 18. Only one candidate was for that by the way, if you guessed Mike Gravel, you win the toaster. The rest of the suits think it's ok for you to go to Iraq and die for big oil, but it's far too dangerous for you to make your own decision about what to consume with your own body and have a beer. Here's the real killer though, of course the question of how quickly these people will get us the fuck out of Iraq came up, and Hillary, Obama, and Edwards the "front runners" the media wants you to focus on all gave hazy answers, dancing around any timetable for withdrawal, some saying it may not be possible for years. Only MIKE GRAVEL and DENNIS KUCINICH promised to get us the fuck out of there ASAP. For the 2nd or 3rd time since the debates began Mike Gravel stood facing Hiliary and explained in great detail how to get everyone out before christmas by voting everyday on cloture. The other candidates seemed appalled that Gravel would suggest they take time out of their presidental campaigns to do their jobs and vote to end the killing. To add insult to injury, the next morning I saw both MSNBC and CNN announce (almost gleefully) that NONE of the democratic candidates had promised to get us out of Iraq during their term. This of course is a big fucking lie, it just so happens that none of the candidates they want YOU TO PAY ATTENTION TO promised to end the illegal occupation of Iraq, but 2 of the candidates the MEDIA acitively IGNORES (Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich) DID promise to end the occupation immediately. Yeah, we should probably think about that.
