The 2nd presidential debate is ongoing as I write this.  I've decided not to bother watching.  The earlier ones, especially the earlier ones between the Republican candidates, I watched simply for their entertainment value.  No Republican candidate would be likely to get my vote, with the possible exception of Ron Paul. 
So I watched many of the earlier debates as I would watch, say, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."  But I'm finally "up to here" with it all.  I have more than enough information with which to make my vote choice, altho' here in Utah it won't count worth a damn. 
Politicians, of any party, are by definition rogues and poltroons, as H.L. Mencken would say.  They have been bought and paid for, and not by you and me or any of the other poor idiots that think they're participating in a real democracy. 
I used to think that the U.S. Supreme Court was above the fray, until Bush vs. Gore, and then Citizens United.  My respect for them burned up as it re-entered the atmosphere and fell to earth along with my shock and dismay. 
Maybe when I show up at the polls on Election Day they'll recognize me as a non-Mormon and a Democrat (whichever is worse) and shoo me off without allowing me to vote at all...
