"What, dontcha believe me? I have SCARS!"

The undecided voters are eating retarded sandwiches.

Apparently in the age of Bush, being presidential means not explaining anything.

A "14-year-old" "Obama supporter" with a very effeminate voice (I can say that cause I'm gay)

then a "15-year-old" who now supports Nader

then a guy with a heavy Latino accent referencing immigration reform, calling "in support" of McCain


Who are these people? And how the hell is the C-Span moderator keep a straight face. LOL

I'm listening to that too, it's fuckin' wacky.

I was watching the debate on there, and it got all choppy when they were discussing abortion... what was going on then?

I think I may have liked it better when he didn't look at Obama. I had to switch off CBS, I couldn't stand seeing McCain's face while Barack was talking.
