I said there would be a follow up with more points and ideas people have expressed and written in advance of the Presidential Debate next week between McCain and Obama. To that end, here are numbers four and five.
4. Stop trying to get us to relate to your home town.
We all have a home town and for most of us you did not, nor do you, live there. You want to relate to us; then stop telling us how you relate and listen to us tell you what its like and what we want in our towns and cities. Then again, we overwhelmingly said we did not want a seven hundred billion dollar bailout that wouldn’t work and you guys both voted for it anyway. We are also aware that you did it for our own good because we are too stupid to know what we are saying and somehow you two are financial geniuses and not beholden to your constituents.
5. Stop talking about gay marriage.
The odds are good you will never pass a Constitutional Amendment for or against gay marriage in the next four years and the states seem to be addressing the issue by themselves for now. Besides, we all get that you guys are stuck on the fence. Equal rights but not the right to get married. It’s not really an answer but if you look at item one in this list which talks about not really giving answers; then you get that we do not expect you to give an answer anyway.
That gets the list to number five and some of the best ones are to come. Check back here tomorrow to see more of what people have been writing and thinking about what they do and do not want in a Presidential Debate next week.
