What a miserable debate last night. The worst of the campaign season by far. This one started off with what looked like a a group hug in the principal’s office over race relations and it slid downhill after that.
The candidates aren’t at fault here, it is the mainstream media. The spoon-fed, pre-programmed “gotcha” drip of questions did not serve the people of Nevada or We The People for that matter. The whole shindig seemed to be designed to give each candidate an opportunity to bitch slap their opponents. Definitely not something worthy of Jefferson’s Virginia Statehouse.
The bright spot was the heckler. The heckler also had the most poignant statement – race baiting which is what this debate was all about. A purposeful attempt by Russert and the gang to start a class/race war among the candidates, thankfully they did not bite.
I am left wondering when We The People will bite back… bite the mainstream media?
BTW, today’s strip is dedicated to Dot. You can’t see her right now. She is fighting the good fight, deep down in the trench.
