I didn't watch it, nor any of the rest of Democratic National Pep-rally, nor will I watch the Republican one. Decisions shouldn't be made based upon knee-jerk reactions to emotional speeches and flowery meaningless drivel set to popular rock-'n'-roll music. Give me a list of his stances on the issues, that's all anyone needs. (Don't actually give me one, that was a rhetorical statement.) As if I could trust such a list anyways, but it'd be better than nothing.

It was some metaphorical babble about being "American", and making America "better", and taking us in the "right" direction, right? Without defining exactly what those things are. And vague promises for things like health care, education, national defense, "working families"; i.e. those things every President promises to care about, and which Bush promised to care about too, but which will be forgotten two months after the election, unless it furthers the cause of the Party.

I just sent away for my voter registration papers a few days ago, but I honestly don't know why. I'm probably going to flip a coin. Our Presidential candidates are celebrities, in the most negative sense of the term, and there is hardly a politician alive who will speak anything near the truth between now and November. I can barely even watch TV any more what with the constant barrage of vapid pseudo-optimistic rhetoric and talking-points various "supporters" spout.
