Tell them! . . . there are only four REAL issues in this campaign . . .
only four issues that the candidates AND the media should be talking about (as so eloquently summarized by Bruce Springsteen) . . .

1. war and peace

2. the fight for economic and racial justice

3. reaffirming our Constitution

4. the protection and enhancement of our environment


every other issue is contained within one or more of these . . .

the corporate media KNOWS what the REAL issues are . . . yet they consciously and continuously focus on minutia in order to distract us from discussing them . . .

we need to tell them (and the candidates) that these are the ONLY issues we want to hear about in this campaign . . .

and we need to remind them all that, as Springsteen also said, . . .

"After the terrible damage done over the past eight years, a great American reclamation project needs to be undertaken." . . .

Tell them! . . .

1. Best god dam post of the day and its ignored by the American Idol crowd.
These are the things that matter, its not Hillary avoiding snipers and its not Obama's preacher.

4. people who watch American Idol
shouldn't be permitted to vote.

Fortunately, that rule, though not official, is largely self-enforcing.

5. Here's a "Hell, Yea!!" K&R
I am so sick of all the manufactured issues being discussed.
