Why, when both candidates for the Democratic Party have already been chosen -- Is that not the purpose of a convention? -- are they wasting everyone's time with this ridiculous commercial for these blowhards spewing wind?
Because my spouse won't let me change the channel, I'm watching Bill Clinton and these other cronies gushing hyperbole and making promises Barack Obama has no intention of keeping, and I'm in absolute disbelief that we just sit here watching it all instead of demanding that these people offer us something useful like an actual debate between the candidates.
It's this kind of plastic, phony, political correctness that is our downfall. They're counting on people swallowing this gibberish instead of demanding plain talk, plain questions and answers. No wonder so many people are confused about what to do and whom to vote for. If we were smart, we'd simply reject these insults to our intelligence and turn the channel until they start saying something productive and worth listening to.
