I ask this with an attempt to leave out my own bias re: the candidates, but in regard to the process at hand-
Why do you expect the candidates to come out with positions and 'solutions' for every damn thing that is wrong before they are elected?
I mean, it is lovely to think that they (whomever) will sweep into office, and wave their magic wand and transform the government as they see fit, but it just isn't so-
I don't want a president with all the answers before they are even elected. I want one with a brain to understand the ever changing facts in front of them, and be able to make far-sighted judgements about how events are likely to unfold. One who grasps cause and effect, essentially.
Sure, I want to know where they stand on ethical and moral issues. Abortion comes to mind. The constitution. Equal rights. Environment. Energy. International relations.
But why would I want a career politician writing my health care plan?! WTF?! Is this in the job description?
and neutron, if you cant write something original, keep it to yourself.
