17th of January 2008- The fight turns personal in the American Election

The one policy that each candidate stands for, the one policy for me that currently presides over the rest, is foreign affairs. And it seemes at first, certainly during few months before Michigan, the only candidate out of this crazy, over-stimulated, drugged up rat race is Obama. Rare, in most politicians, is his ability to put forward this issue in near honesty and with planned efficiency. The time has come for America to reconcider their role in the world arena, Iraq being one on a very long list included. Pakistan and Kenya to name a few others. How long can the civilised world hold the torch of democracy?
What I lean on now is which candidate had the best selection of music soundtracking their happy-clappy rallys (no pink prizes for Hilary here, it was office staff party music and god awful). This will seem intelligent enough when I remind you that the US is a country that houses citizens who choose their next president, the chump who sits on the most powerful country in the world, by the style of their tie. What's unbelievably worse is watching the American media (CNN in particular) question the public, during the lulls in between poll counting, about who they concider the most "attractive" candidate. These morons they bother to interview are exactly the kind of idiotic attention seekers of whose opinion we clearly don't give a shit about. Surely I'm not the only one who thinks the US presidential election should be focused on politics dealing over the delicate future of our world, not entertainment? You think? It's like the chapter from Johnathan Swift's "Gullivers Travels" where the next King of Laputa the floating island, jumps a fucking stick. Jesus Christ, it's so close, it's creepy. Speaking of creepy, lets have a moment of silence for John Edwards...
that's enough...
What I'm looking forward to see alot more of is continued debate between the candidates (sure, as if it's presently not enough) Both Hilary and Huckabee have been putting some, lets face it, amusing punches. This campain is personal this time round, politicans perform so much better under pressure.
