87. This is one damn depressing election.

Romney's taxes are the most important issue? How about what both parties plan to do to rev up the economy?

I had enough of hearing about inane issues like birth certificates, college records, taxes and dogs on roof. I don't give a crap about any of this white noise.

No wonder USA Today reported that 90M people don't plan to vote this year.
