You know what last night's debate reminded me of?
It reminded me of GD-P. You want to complain about the media not focusing on issues? How about we take a look at ourselves. The other day I posted a thread with the following statistic:

Current number of occurrences of the word "Bitter" on the front page of GD-P: 24

Current number of occurrences of the word "War" on the front page of GD-P: 0


At any time during the past couple of months I could have replaced "Bitter" with "Sniper" or "Handshake" or "<insert scandal>-gate" and replaced "War" with "Health care" or "infrastructure" or any one of a dozen other issue-related words with effectively the same results. From this I can only conclude that we, the informed, politically-active voters of GD-P are more concerned with scandal than we are with real issues. Hell, I'm as guilty of this as anybody else. So who's really out of touch here?

1. Even as we speak, there's a thread devoted to complaining about Hillary's voice.
