The Point of KNOW Return

Would it kill anyone to actually spend even a SECOND outlining the candidates’ positions on the key subjects? The media is clueless in this, and those running for the office themselves seem to believe that providing real information to the voters isn't necessary.

You know… stuff like where they stand on all the issues, what their various plans would be as president…
And MOST importantly, how exactly they intend to implementing these plans?
The simple ability to get something done necessitates that they have a REAL plan… with practical & realistic goals and positions.
Tell me who you will work with .. how you will get the other party in Congress to go along so you aren’t gridlocked.


What kind of appointments do you see yourself making to the Supreme court, should that be an opportunity in your term?
What is your position on filling the myriad of judgeship positions that partisan politics have left vacant?
What is your position on executive power? How will you treat / use the executive “findings” that presidents have published in the past that virtually ignore existing laws?

What is YOUR position on torture – and the definition of it in your mind? How will that affect your actions/appointments?
What kind of person ..what key elements will you be placing in priority when chosing a Secretary of State? Atty General? Other cabinet members?

Etc, Etc….

If there was an ounce of journalistic integrity … or if these candidates wanted to REACH people, then they would focus on those points…
Tell the voters what you will do, what your PLANS are…

Standing there and spouting vague generalities of intent are useless and increasingly insulting.
OK, one of you democrats is the “harbinger of change”. Good .. I freakin get it.
HOW are you that?
WHAT will you do?

Nice health care plan… glad you now don’t like NAFTA … Yes, illegal immigration is still an issue, and yes, it appears the economy sucks.
HOW ARE YOU SPECIFICALLY GOING TO AFFECT THINGS AS PRESIDENT ???
And don’t give me useless ‘pie-in-the-sky’ crap about what Willie Wonka would do. Tell me realistically what you can do as president ..that is within your power as stated NOW in the constitution.

Geraldine Ferraro lost HER election almost 25 years ago. Arguing over her stupid statements means nothing.
Having underlings throw mud only turns voters away from you and from the party.

WAKE THE FUCK UP, TREAT US AS ADULTS, AND TELL ME WHY I SHOULD CAST MY VOTE FOR YOU.

GOD, this ridiculous prattling pisses me off. It’s like schoolyard, smarmy losers trying to justify their own existence.

And Howard Dean…. SHUT UP. You’ve proven your inability to run the Democratic party. You made the call months ago – you can’t have a re-do because you screwed it up then. This is exactly why you weren’t a viable presidential candidate, too. You guys made your bed – now lie in it.

Do you WANT me to vote for Mr. McCain? If you don’t, then prove to me that you have the ability to lead and govern.
PROVE to me that you have what it takes.
This shit certainly isn’t doing it.

Just sayin’
