What All the Canidates Need to Agree On
Bring In The Adults!

Bring in the adults to clean up the mess. Time to bring in people who understand the world as it is, not as they exclusively want it to be. Time for humility, a very adult trait. We need adults in charge. All the candidates need to unite on this one point. Adults need to be in charge. Turn over all activities to the UN, the phasing of power won’t happen overnight, 8-14 months after a very multi-lateral, multi-logistical plan is honestly brokered. Again, adults are needed. Our children are dieing. Supply everything that is needed for the actual transition of Iraq into a modern world member. Adults clean up after themselves. If Iraqi’s really want to right historical wrongs and divide into separate countries then we and the UN should help. By truly helping and by exporting the important values of Americans to the world through the UN, we can begin to unite the world. The American life style can not be exported, the planet just can’t support that. We’re exporting all of the things wrong with our society; Greed, fundamentalist Capitalism, pr for profit, might makes right and I got mine. Adults need to be in charge.

1. I disagree.
This was the Repug mantra in 2000. Look where that got us. Neck deep in shit. I prefer to base the campaign runs on ideas, not slogans, although some sloganeering is inevitable.

Folks like you and I look at issues and ideas. The average guy who doesn't pay much atention to the nuances, needs slogans that are truthful so he can scramble to the polls on election day and equate a canidate name with a slogan he likes. Until we make election day into a big time National Holiday with ball games, special cans of Bud and shit loads of good catchy slogans will we see alot more people knowing alittle more about the issues- which is always a good thing for Dems.
