This thread discusses the Content article: Disgraced democracy

Now that it looks like Obama will be facing McCain in the general election, hopefully the two candidates can focus on issues of government. I don't care to know about personal infidelities, interests, suspicious associations, etc. I want to hear how the two candidates propose to improve America for me, and the population in general. Issues like education, healthcare, war, civil liberties, finances, those are things that impact me, not whether one of the candidates did drugs once in high school or whether one of the candidates is friends with someone who is critical of America. Hopefully, the disgraces of this campaign can fall by the wayside and the general election can represent the best of democracy.
