Then again, we're supposed to be the ones with something to say, right? But how am I supposed to have something to say if I can't even listen to the RNC and the speeches. I can't even read that many articles about it without wanting to crawl into a hole and hide until after the election.
I'm feeling a bit spoiled. I've never quite so consciously lived through an election that is so vicious, so much about the people and so little about the issues.
When I think about it, I worry that, after watching this election, the Canadian political parties will decide to follow suit and stop talking about the issues. The rest of the time, I worry even more that all of these tactics and nowhere-near-fine shaving of the truth will serve too many people better than the truth ever did. If that happens, then the Republicans have won and we are lost.
