Four Stooges

As a kid I remember watching Curly, Larry and Moe -- the Three Stooges -- on TV.  They were just silly and made a living at being silly.

Last night I watched the Four Stooges: Newt and Mitt, Ron and Rick. And frankly, they're not funny.

Annoying is the word that comes to mind.

Brian Williams tried to moderate something NBC News was calling a Presidential Debate.  It was anything but Presidential. Mitt's relentless badgering of Newt and his record nauseated me.  I'm all about Newt, but come on.

Bottom line: I DO NOT WANT ONE CANDIDATE TELLING ME HOW MUCH THE NEXT CANDIDATE SUCKS!

I have a brain and I use it.  Each candidate needs to tell me their position on the topics. Then I can effectively form my own opinion and cast my vote.

Sadly, they spend far too much time beating on each other. 

If I were in charge, no campaigning would be allowed before June 1. There would be a national primary in mid-August and the top four "vote-getters," from whatever party, would then be on a national general election ballot. The candidate who receives the majority of the POPULAR vote would be our president.

Just my two cent.

  1. I seem to recall that in "olden days" (early 1900's, perhaps?) the presidential campaign officially started on Labor Day. Did the Dem candidate usually show up in Detroit and continue from there? Hmmm, must re-read my history books! I'm pretty sure that I got this idea from seeing an exhibit at the Truman Library in Independence, MO. Truman whistle stopped via train thru the western states, starting out on Labor Day, is what I remember from the exhibit.
