Democracy In Action

I actually squandered 60 minutes of my life last night watching some of the coverage of the Democratic Convention on MSNBC and here are a few thoughts.
1). Would it be so difficult for the guys covering this thing to be a little less biased?  From that guy snuffleupagus to Oberman & Matthews I mean Jesus it's like their becoming aroused watching this thing. Get a hold of your selves. 
2). I'm sure Joe Biden is a good and decent man but watching him speak you just know he's going to step on his own dick, it's inevitable.  You want to turn away but you are drawn to it like a moth to flame.
3). And finally a note on decorum to the delegation from New York.  After you have supposedly "graciously" called for an end to the roll call and in the interest of party unity asked that Obama be placed in nomination as the Democratic candidate for President Of The United States Of America...It may be considered by some to be bad form when you then degenerate into a drunken, off key, nose up her ass chant of Hillary Hillary Hillary.  Kind of a contradiction dontcha' think.  The more cynical among us may kind of question your sincerity. 
Just sayin'.

At least we have a democracy:)Could be different...

I watch Fox for comic relief. Sadly, what I witnessed the other night was just as bad. The fact that they were slanted to the left made it no less palatable to me.
JoAnna,
we have a representative democracy. Over time this has evolved into a carefully orchestrated beauty pageant dominated by two political parties whose prime directive is to gain and maintain power at the direction of their corporate masters.

I agree that the Electoral college should be reworked in that the popular vote counts more.Democracy is broken down to serve the people by the government,not the other way around.
