I, Sandman, pledge to contain my comments on the upcoming presidential election to the issues that will affect the United States of America in the next four years. I recognize that my comments, no matter how eloquent or logical, will probably never change the opinions of the extremists from both sides, but that a good old debate never hurt anyone. Therefore, I will restrict my debate with said extremists to one of the current issues at hand, and the issues that may arise in the next four years, and attempt to show them the errors of their candidate's ways.
I refuse to discuss things that happened thirty to forty years ago, and will endeavor to refrain from making personal attacks against either candidate. Instead, I pledge to focus on the decisions said candidate could potentially make in the future, based soley on their decisions and actions within the timeframe of the last presidential election and the present day. I pledge to refrain from personal attacks against fellow debaters on this bulletin board, even though they are wrong and I am right.
I pledge to abide by these rules until the day after the election, so help me me."
Sure, I'll play along.
