The 3rd and Final U.S. Presidential Debate

This is quite hilarious. It is about serious topics. But man, the two of these guys are arguing with one another about points like little kids. Issues I've heard so far include Home Economics, Healthcare, Veterans, Gay Marriage, Abortion and Terrorism. When Kerry speaks about certain topics like healthcare and economics, they do a split screen and George W. has these really stupid "I think I said something wrong" coy smiles and it is absolutely hilarious seeing his reactions. All they do is blame each other and talk about what the other did wrong in the past. They spend way more time on that and much less time on what they are actually gonna do if they are President. And if they do say what they are going to do (better the healthcare system, etc), they rarely explain how it's gonna happen and how they are actually going to make it happen.

Canada has come up a few times now. First was regarding the flu vaccine shortage in the U.S. According to Bush, they were dependent on some company in England that "contaminated" the vaccine. Canada is now who they are turning to in order to provide the vaccine. Canada was also brought up when talking about border protection.

I also learned tonight that the Minimum Wage in the U.S. is at $5.15. And it's been that way for 7 years? Holy crap. That is damn low.

Both candidates support the Second Amendment that says any American can own a gun. The difference between the two of them is that Kerry doesn't support Attack Weapons and Bush apparently does (not in those exact words. What I actually mean is that Bush didn't support the Anti-Attack Weapons Bill during his administration. Bush's quote is as follows: "I believe that Americans should be allowed to own guns. The best way to protect Citizens with guns is to prosecute those that commit crimes with guns."

I'm donw with this thing...
I should really find out some more about Canadian politics rather than watching this crap.
