Thank you for posting the link to the video. I was unable to see the debate yesterday evening. Why is it that liberals and socialists must constantly INTERRUPT, make faces, or laugh at their opponents? (This is really a rhetorical question, as I know that the answer is a general lack of respect in our society for other's opinions.) Is the general populace that ignorant of what respect means? BTW, this is NOT 'Yankee' bashing by a 'Canuck' since the same lack of respect is demonstrated up here, often to a much greater degree than south of the line.

In Canada, the debates before elections usually include four major parties. One can rarely hear the person speaking for the interruptions from two or three other party leaders. At least in the US, there is only one liberal/socialist trying to talk over their opponents.

Up here, the major political parties are: the Conservative party (slightly left of LBJ), the Liberal party (socialists), the New Democratic party (aka NDP, perhaps slightly to the right of the CPUSA), and the Bloc Quebecois (similar to the NDP, though their focus is on the 'fate' of Quebecers, only). All tend to try to speak over their opponents' comments, though only rarely has PM Harper tried this tactic.

I just pray that if it is The Lord's will, He will open the eyes of enough voters to ensure that in 2013, Mr. Obama joins the ranks of ex-Presidents, though whatever happens, I know that He is in charge. I am reminded of 2 Chronicles 7:14 which says, "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." This is also my prayer for Canada and all countries.
