Correct me if I'm wrong, but the average republican voters are Cubans, Vietnamese, Koreans, wealthy folks, folks who aspire to wealth, minorities that can see through the Democrats empty promises, and more.

Average democrat voters, minorities that are happy with just getting a government check every month, naive college students, and hypocrites that talk about helping the poor and global warming, yet drive around town with giant luxury SUVs, and turn a blind eye to the poor man on the corner of the street. At least, this is what I see at my school.

As for the debate, if you knew nothing about the two candidates, McCain definitely won. He had history and experience that came across very clearly. And I'll admit, he had some weak points, but he was very calm and patient with Obama. Obama on the other hand stuttered and glared at McCain. So I think if you knew nothing of the two, you wouldn't be impressed by a pouting person who stutters. It just doesn't look professional.

Didn't watch this debate, won't watch the 2nd and 3rd ones either.

I don't care to hear canned responses, which talk past the questions/issues.

But the main reason is that I know where these candidates stand already, and that should be common knowledge to most people. That's not to say that people who do watch the debates are wasting their time, I'm speaking from my perspective only.

I will always vote for the traditional, more conservative candidate on any level of government, regardless of party, as opposed to the far left extremist.

The choice to me has been clear for many months.

But I will watch the Palin/Biden debate if for no other reason than the curiosity factor.

Yes it is a MATTER OF OPINION and I have stated that constantly Pb. And yes I was a UNION Representative for the Rail Bus and Transport Union and I am still conservative in my personal Politics. However that has no bearing on this Pb I still will not allow in myself to be totally influenced by the Media and research Politics independantly of the Media. By going beyond the Media Hype. I make no appologise for this Pb. And again I state things as I view it as it is MY OPINION and how I see it. So instead of making sniping remarks Pb how about debating the issue at hand

I wish to hell I had enough intelligence to know as much about United Kingdom politics to be ABLE to form an opinion about how YOUR activities impact world peace.

I feel like an ignoramus by comparison with how people in other nations seem to grasp some of the fine points of American shenanigans...

It's shameful.

not really the politics in most other lands does not affect you at this point in time , the US has the ability and the financial resources to ignore other lands whereas most nations need either US technology and goods to live . You must also remember that many news shows also originate from the US the shame is the US news almost ignores the rest of the world CBS,NBC and ABC seem to carry little if any world news and as we get the US CNN as opposed to the international one it isn't much different

You think that there are 100 million rednecks in the country. Calling people rednecks because they vote for a party is really a low shot. Good job, very insulting.

I think you need to get a clue...

but american culture is much bigger than that. the blues, the rock and the jazz are linked with latin music, becase its african roots. some uninformed people couldnt realize the culture of usa and other americas countries have the same origin.

of course theres a lot of crap that came from usa too like britney spears, backstreet boys and all this s***, but this is marketing not music.

btw, theres no latin music, its a very biased vision as you can imagine. because each country have their own music.

And what does that have to do with it? Because you are from latin american, that gives you the right to do so?

about half the radio station in LA, Miami, NY and cities along the Mexican border are latin or play latin format. The biggest selling music market in the US is country western, right behind it is latino....

absolutely no Latin Music here we are stuck in Classic rock i don't even think we have a CW station here and I'm getting media from Toronto.. Buffalo about 9 million folks

I vehemently disagree with both premise and conclusion.

That, in fact, is the horrible arrogance of myth that never will be or could ever have been true.

As for the news... I have seen a number of broadcasts from other nations, but cannot receive them readily here in the States. There are many many I would very much like to see regularly. So, it isn't so much that we generate the news as it is that we control what our own people are allowed to see.

Our cable channels are, I would estimate, occupied with programming that is about 50% rebroadcasting of old shows, 25% programming of interest to 10% of our 300,000,000 people, and the balance dedicated to various forms of highly controlled commercial entertainment.

Having BBC, Al Jazeera and any number of other international news and history programs would be as relatively easy as connecting two wires.
