are there going to be any debates where the candidates will be asked about the crimes committed by the current administration and whether they as president will be prepared to pursue justice for those crimes? will there be a debate in which the loss of civil liberties will be discussed? what is a way that i might get answers to some questions that never seem to come up in the daily dialogue though they are burning a hole in my chest?
i listened to the latest debate this morning. more accurately, i tried to listen to it. all i heard was snipe, snipe, snipe. bullshit bullshit bullshit. from media matters
http://mediamatters.org/items/200802290020?f=h_top"During this week's Democratic presidential debate, Russert didn't ask a single question about global warming, continuing his longstanding habit of all but ignoring the topic. He didn't ask a single question about the mortgage crisis. (As one Cleveland resident noted, "We've got the mortgage industry's toxic waste scattered all over this city, but Mr. Blue-Collar-Buffalo-and-Cleveland-Marshall-Guy Russert couldn't be bothered with a question about it.") He didn't ask a single question about executive power, the Constitution, torture, wiretapping, or other civil-liberties concerns. But that shouldn't come as a surprise; of all the questions he has asked while moderating presidential debates during this campaign, only one has dealt with any of those topics."
what the hell. give me kucinich.
