Issues? What's an 'issue'?
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 09:36 PM by brentspeak
The Democratic nomination race between Clinton and Obama has so far been about:

1) Bill Clinton's comments
2) "Hillary is a monster"
3) Geraldine Ferraro's comments
4) Pastor Wright
5) Tony Rezko
6) "Racist!"
7) "No, you're racist!"
8) "Sexist!"

I think the Democrats should seriously think about drafting Gore or Edwards at this point -- unless they don't mind having John McCain as President.

1. Who has made the election about this list?
The candidates, or us?

The media?

3. The Economy. Healthcare. Iraq. Education.
Those issues.

This is a circus and a sideshow distracting you from the real issues of our day.

4. There hasn't been an 'Issue' posted in this forum for weeks.
Not one... Yours is the first.

7. Thanks Sorry...
:blush:

I've been through too much over the last eight (seems like a million) years to not have the issues addressed.

6. 'Issue' is a word corporate America kidnapped to replace 'problem'
"We can't win if our quarterback continues having passing issues."

Now, the MSM is racing to replace genuine issues with contrived problems.
