Is the presidency bad for America?
Where is the political movement for cutting the military budget and single payer health care. The only real national movement is the presidency and these ideas have no chance apparently in the presidential campaign.

4. These primaries are a huge distraction from the real issues
We need investigations and exposure of the crimes before the elections.

The candidates need to address the REAL issues of why our Constitution means nothing anymore.

We need to hear the story of Sibel Edmonds and root out those who are trading our young people for oil dollars.

5. As General Buck Turgison would say...
"Well, I don't think it's fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up!"

6. Yes. The whole "leader" thing is not so good.
Anyone who says "our leaders" strikes me as an imbecile.

Seriously.
