Election 2008 - What are the Real Issues?

McCain. Obama. Clinton Twins. What a Choice. I am disgusted! What is worse is the media doesn't present a critical evaluation of the real issues or the real character of any of the candidates. They assume that we are morons that can be manipulated and handled. Aren't you tired of it all?

What are the issues you care about? Global Climate Change? The rising price of gas and all of the spin offs it is causing? Economic security? Global Terrorism v. loss of personal liberties? In the western States, the impact of illegal immigration?

What have the media's candidates and handlers packed for us? Thirty-to-forty-five second sound bites about personal stories that attempt to create emotional "tug". Big money backers run the campaigns and eventually they call in their favors.

What needs to be done? First, we all need to boycott the November Election. Second, we need to demand serious campaign finance reform. Third, we need to unregister from the Republicratic-Demican Party and start over. Finally, we need to read and understand the framers original intent of the foundational documents.

It starts with a few voices. The Sons of Liberty started a small flame from which a raging fire of Independence was born.
