The REAL issue this election: the ISSUES

Regardless of the lies from Sarah Palin, the relentless flip-flopping from John McCain, the refusal to mention specifics about any issue ...and of course, the statement (more correctly, the desperate wish) from the McCain campaign that this election is not about issues...

The issues are absolutely what this election is about. And the horror that has been the Bush Administration - and which would extend to at least 12 years if McCain were elected - has not been addressed by McSame:

• Unemployment is at a 5 year high (link)
• A record Federal deficit (link)
• Wages are stagnant at best (if you have a job) (link)
• Healthcare costs continue to far outpace wages and inflation (link)
• Hard-working citizens continue to lose their homes (link)
• The Iraq war plunges us further into debt (over half $TRILLION) (link)
• The Constitution continues to be desecrated (link)

...and there is NOTHING to distinguish John McCain from George Bush.
...which of course is why the McCain camp so desperately wants to avoid any discussion of issues.

To me, the most-telling fact is that the Rove smear-and-lie machine effortlessly transitioned over to now promote a man they previously destroyed.

Sarah Palin is being groomed to be the biggest puppet of All Time (a hard-act to follow after Bush II).

See Juan Cole's (http://www.juancole.com/) latest post, commenting on the revelations in Bob Woodward's new book, about our promotion of Iranian-based Death-squads in Iraq, to eradicate the Sunni opposition.
