Focusing on the issues
28
Wed, 10-15-2008 - 11:16am
The main issues this election season are: 1. The economy, 2. The economy, and 3. The economy.
Also, affordable health care, more jobs that pay a decent wage, bolstering social security.
First and foremost, we need to get ourselves out of Iraq. That $10 billion per month could be much better spent in this country on any number of things.
THE ISSUES ARE WHAT MATTER!
Obama/Biden have addressed the issues.
McCain/Palin prefer to try to trash Obama/Biden. Why? Because they have no answers to the problems we face.
Voters need to stay focused on the issues and not to be be distracted by the mean-spirited, name-calling from the McCain/Palin campaign.

Yep - Republicans, from John McCain and his top advisors right down to posters right here on this board, keep telling us that "character matters," and that character is what this election is about. Bullroar. What the candidates will do regarding the most astonishingly severe circumstances our country has faced since the great depression is what matters. And though Republicans here assuredly feel that on that metric, McCain beats Obama, the fact that the McCain campaign has CONSCIOUSLY CHOSEN not to discuss those critical issues, preferring instead to go the "character" route....speaks volumes.

In three weeks or so, the voters will get to decide whether flag pins, the sixties, middle names and fist-bumping are what's really the most important things in America right now, or whether it's going to be health care, the financial meltdown, two badly-run wars and a host of other problems, foreign and domestic. John McCain's campaign has INTENTIONALLY focused the debate in this manner.

Don't forget, he "knows how to fix it."

ARRGH! I don't know how much I'll be able to take of McCain's "My Friends" and his incessant "I know how to do that" Baloney!

Yep, the Obama/Biden answer to the economy is TAX IT.

Well, that's what Obama told a plumber yesterday; that he would tax his earnings and spread it around to those who aren't plumbers, or small businessmen.

The problem with your argument is that it simply DOES NOT take the prospect of being a multi-millionaire to get people to be productive, innovative, or hard working, or to get people to try their best.
