Does anyone else see the irony in our system being so broken that we have to turn to Russian television to see this?

Yes. Just like you have to read/listen to Russian media to get the truth about our Dear Leader and all the stuff his admin is up to.
When I die, I want to go like Grandpa did. He died in his sleep..... Not screaming and hollering like all the passengers in his car.

Anyone watch?
I thought it was much better than listening to "tweedle dee and tweedle dum" debate.
I'm definitely voting for a third party candidate.
If I lived in a swing state I might feel differently.

Johnson was the clear winner in my book.

+1
I didn't like all the talk about climate change from Stein and Anderson.
Goode just isn't my style.

These four candidates debated much more respectfully than Romney/Obama and Ryan/Biden did. They didn't interrupt each other, they all answered the questions they were asked, and for the most part they were pretty good on time (and Larry cut them off pretty quick when they went over). It was clear that these candidates were not as rehearsed nor as slick-talking as Mittbama; they made their positions clear and were not there to pander to any specific demographic.

Johnson had a few moments of crazy-eyes and repetitiveness, and went over his time more than any of the others, but his positions were the most agreeable by far. I am starting to lean towards a Gary Johnson vote over a Ron Paul write-in. Not because I like Gary Johnson any more than Ron Paul, but because he is actively campaigning and on the ballot, and I could see him doing it again next time around.

I didn't like it either, and when I listened some more it seemed that they were still for big government...just a different flavor of it.
