Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online
farkinga writes "For those of us that no longer have a television, live TV events can be a challenge to watch. Fortunately, tonight's Presidential Debate has attracted the attention of most US broadcasters, many of whom will provide online viewing options. Leading the way is Hulu, a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp, who will stream the Fox-branded feed tonight — assuming they worked out the bandwidth issues that came up during the second debate!"
The "debate" is an artifice constructed by the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is run by both parties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_on_Presidential_Debates
In 1988, the League of Women Voters withdrew its sponsorship of the presidential debates after the George H.W. Bush and Michael Dukakis campaigns secretly agreed to a "memorandum of understanding" that would decide which candidates could participate in the debates, which individuals would be panelists (and therefore able to ask questions), and the height of the podiums. The League rejected the demands and released a statement saying that they were withdrawing support for the debates because "the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud on the American voter.
It is a fraud. And still, people watch this theatrical event and act like it means something. No wonder this country is such a mess.

Do you really foresee an Obama administration twisting words like Terrorism, Freedom (fries), Patriot, etc?
Sure. He's twisted what the word racism means. Under Dear Leader Obama, Terrorism will mean anything conservative, freedom will have no meaning, and a Patriot is the fascist goon squads Obama will create - oh, I mean, "National Security Force"
Do you foresee him installing crazy supreme court judges that have and will continue to fuck our country until they retire?
Why yes, he's already said he would appoint moonbat crazy liberals.
Do you foresee him installing a vice president who refuses to talk with the press and cannot answer basic questions?
Joe Biden lives in a fantasy land where we (with the French) threw Hezbollah out of Lebanon. Biden is a fucking moron.
In conclusion: To Hell With Barack Obama and the Nazis that support him.
