Vice-Presidential Debate 2008
I’m going on the assumption that I wasn’t the only one who skipped last night’s excellent Thursday night television line-up to watch the Vice-Presidential debate and the post-debate analysis. However, just in-case you missed it…
Despite what constituents of each political party had hoped for, Sarah Palin did not implode and Joe Biden did not explode. The majority of what I’ve read this morning and what I’ve heard from the pundits’ mouths last night say that Joe Biden gave the best Debate performance of his career. Sarah Palin also went above and beyond expectations by delivering a fluent and succinct speech (lesson learned).
Considering the final day to register to vote in PA is Monday, that would mean you might miss your chance to agree or disagree with me in a pragmatic as opposed to theoretical way.
Here is a deductive conditional argument for all you students of philosophy out there..
1.) If you are not registered to vote, then your opinion doesn’t matter.
2.) You are not registered to vote.
—————————
C.) Your opinion doesn’t matter.
Want to combat this line of reasoning? Well, good luck with that, the truth of the premises guarantees the conclusion. However, you can accept this line of reasoning and join the ranks of the 8,548,580 registered Pennsylvania voters (as of 9/29/08 - Pennsylvania Dept. of State).
