Kennedy v. Nixon Debate 1960 on CSPAN |
|
I miss real politics. Both these guys are thoughtful, respectful and intelligent in their answers. Nixon is SO much smarter than Bush, he has command of his facts, and is actually not as bad as I thought he was.
Kennedy is great, of course. Nixon sounds like a liberal, though, compared to the crap I hear spewing from the right wing of today. No wonder we're in so much trouble in the world.

1. The intellect level has certainly been dumbed down. |
|
I still cannot believe that Shrub is Prez & is running a competitive race for reelection.

2. The basic issues haven't changed, though. |
|
The GOP wants tax cuts for the rich, they want to screw the poor, etc etc.

3. I agree. Nixon doesn't seem quite so obvious about it, though. |

I guess you still had the FDR effect going on in the country. People remembered Herbert Hoover and hard times. Now, we're kind of spoiled by the good life, and the Robber Barons are trying to make their comeback.
