It is the same old game again.

Something troubling for the republicans is totally ignored by the republican voters (and visa versa), because they alreayd have set up their mind. The voters are really not unbiased and just watch the big game of throwing mud. It is just entertainment. Most of the viewers already have made up their mind anyways and the rest of them will decide on the result of the media show.

As mentioned by someone else on the forum, people really don't look at the qualifications of the candidates. But hey most of them don't even have a clue about the problems their government are facing anyways. We know the results of the past, but we don't learn as we fear change.

Looking at the political stance of people up here, I don't get the impression otherwise. There are people here who will vote for their party, even if their candidate is an alien from outer space: They just don't want to face the trouble to face the facts. In stead, when mud is thrown at them, they just throw mud back.

This show is about anything about selecting the most appropriate candidate, and it should be, esspecially with these troubling times when one bank after another will fall (in the hands of forreign capital).

If you're refering to Bills' sexuals adventures...
Again, this is mudthrowing. First of all, it already was known that Clinton had a problem of being faithfull. Second, I personally don't see this as a disqualification of someone's ability to be a president. Signs of corruption, is much more worrysome. There should not even be a discussion about this, but again this is the way things work. However that does not make it right.
