    I'll take 'Vague Answers for $1000 Alex.'

    By desertnurse  |  Posted September 28, 2008  |  Augusta, Georgia
     

    I could have taped the last 90 minutes of speeches given by either candidate over the last week and been just as fulfilled.

     

    To make it simpler, 90 minutes of my life were just stripped away by a 'B' debate that I will never get back.  Watching M. Night Shyamalan's last movie would have been a better use of my time.

     

    Neither candidate gave ANY definitive answers regarding domestic OR foreign policy.  We already know the problems - we're living them every day.  A person with liquidable assets (let's say 13 houses or cars) wouldn't know the first thing about it.  Neither would a person who debates the problems but not the solutions.

     

    I woke up the next day to find my worst thoughts confirmed - people were more confused than they were BEFORE the debates.  Aren't the debates supposed to help correct that issue?

     

    Hopefully the candidates can take the time to watch the debate themselves and see that while talking in circles may be the 'Potomac Two-Step' - they're the only two on the dance floor.
