Lipstick on pigs, sex ed for pre-K, earmarks gone wild -- this presidential campaign is descending to a bridge to nowhere. We need a debate worthy of a great nation in trouble. And the only way that will happen is if citizens insist on it.
I have been scratching my head why this has not been talked about more, especially since Obama has been having trouble winning votes among seniors.
Today, I announced the formation of the Democratic Middle Class Working Group. The middle class is America's economic engine. Our country needs that engine running on all cylinders.
The victory for this country begins with a unified refusal to accept, not only the McCain/Palin ticket, but also the static and shallow conscience of the Republican base.
We need a systemic disinfectant and deterrent factor when it comes to Wall Street. An independent investigation with non-partisan, disinterested experts is a damn good start.
With just 48 days to go in a campaign defined as much as anything for its Us or People Magazine style of symbolism, my question is: why isn't Michelle Obama being deployed more visibly by the Obama campaign?
All Obama-Biden have to do now is talk about the banking crisis and the change in position of former deregulation champion John McCain.
2) What does Sarah Palin have in common with Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina in the 2007 Miss Teen USA pageant?
No one on Capitol Hill or in the White House will be held accountable for designing a system that enriched the housing industry at public expense.
If the extent of his war injuries prevents McCain from learning "how to get online," that's fine -- though he should have the decency to divulge to America what his actual limitations are.
Think about this. Our government has just decided that $85 billion more of our money should be used to cover the actions of (and pardon the unsophisticated language here) stupid, greedy, criminal people.
Gag me with a spoon, as Valley girls used to say. Did you see that McCain-Palin ad promising "tougher rules on Wall Street to protect your life savings, no special interest giveaways"? How dumb do they think we are?
In honor of this week's historic financial meltdown...
