Confession: presidential debate

[Deleted]

I don't care about it. I know that I should care, but I really don't. I know who I'm voting for and an hour long debate isn't going to change my mind.

I don't care about it either. I'm not turning it on at all. I refuse to watch something that is going to have me yelling at an inanimate object just to watch a debate.

I'm with you guys.

And, I prefer this approach...

Oh good! That's what I HOPED this was going to say inside when I saw the subject line. I know who I'm voting for. I'm not thrilled with him, but the other party is a million times worse. Watching lies spew out will just make my blood boil.

since I practically do nothing political ever, I feel like watching is my one attempt at participating, lol. That said, the most important thing that has come out of this for me is that Romney would cut gov aid to PBS. Kind of a stupid example to bring up IMO. I posted on facebook about it and this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXEuEUQIP3Q

Um, ditto you guys. Team Obama.

We are doing our best to avoid watching also, along with Facebook since it seems to be all most of my friends are talking about.

I didn't even know it was on, until it was over... oops.
I ended up watching the movie, the Change Up with Ryan Reynolds and and Jason Bateman. You know, quality TV right there.

Yeah, this for me too. I watched parts of it, but whenever Romney started backpedaling and not actually answering questions I started getting about as mad as Obama seemed to be. Once both H and I started yelling at the TV, I turned the channel to watch reruns of Top Chef.

I watched it even though I know who I'm voting for. But I can understand why you wouldn't watch it - you have to go online to factcheck.org to figure out how badly they stretched the truth (or outright lied) about everything. I wish they had real time fact checking at the bottom of the screen. Or were feeding real time fact checking to the moderator so he could call them out.

God, THAT would be brilliant! I would watch if they did that.
