Candidates - Please focus some on the important stuff...
Edited on Fri Nov-09-07 11:46 AM by silverlib
I care about the price of milk and other groceries. I care about the price of gasoline. I care about the equity in my home. And in that light, I worry about privatization of our infrastructure, our schools, and our jails and that our country is expanding free trade and not fair trade. I worry about lack of jobs and lack of opportunity.

And as a liberal, I care about my fellow man- the neighbor that I do not know. I worry about the cost of their milk and groceries and the price of their gasoline. I care about predator lending policies that will leave some without a roof over their head.
And in the worst places - I worry that they do not have consistent electrical power and clean water to drink. I worry that some may be shot dead by mercenaries. And in worser scenarios - that they are hungry.

Can we stick to important issues - like economy/infrastructure, and respect for life?
