I listened to a gentleman in Iowa who said his mute button is wore out.  I, a, 68 year old, thought YESSSSSS!
My mute button, too, is my favorite button on my remote.  I can think for myself, the 24/7 news hopes for controversy, so they arent credible anymore...and if the debates keep going the way they are..President Obama should be a shoo in.  My theory, is they didnt let him do one thing in the United Steates for four years no matter how much he accomplished in Middle East...so the next four years if he gets in..we should get a lot accomplished.  Thank God,  Just maybe we will talk about jobs rather than how many marriages one has or has not...mabye affordable health care rather than did they or did they not have an affair..The 24/7 media..has alot to account for as well. Until they do..I have my mute button ready. /I will be watching TV, my husband reading the paper..when there is silence.  He looks over and asks "Politics on again?"  We return to watching  when they are all done screaming at one another.
