What is it that we are NOT hearing?

What is it that we are not hearing?

When was the last time you heard about a plan for providing Health Care in this country?

When was the last time you heard about a new energy plan ?

When was the last time you heard about a plan to fix the economic issues?

When was the last time you heard discussion about Global Warming?

When was the last time Environmental Issues were the subject of a speech?

Where do the Candidates (and their VP picks) stand on Sex Education?
Where do they stand on Abortion?
Where do they stand on Stem Cell research?
Where do they stand on Environmental Protection?

Have you noticed that ISSUES are no longer being talked about by the Candidates?

Since the end of the Republican Convention, the republicans have effectively shut down campaigning on the issues, and turned this into a 'Personality' race. Very few people know what Sarah Palin stands for, and according to republicans (and apparently a significant number of other undecided voters) it doesn't matter. They are now talking about 'change' but don't say what change that is - is it putting in conservative Supreme Court Judges who will overturn Roe v. Wade? Is it drilling in the ANWR - environment (and polar bears) be damned?
You hear only vague references to 'change' that goes undefined. They throw political jibes at Obama, forcing him to respond and pulling him off track.

I have to say, I did hear Joe Biden on a sound bite talk about Stem Cell research - and now some republicans are trying to spin it into an attack on Sarah Palin. That is the classic strategy - attack them on issues, and now they can call you Sexist, because they have a woman on the ticket - how shameful and transparent.

Quit whining about it. Sarah Palin isn't taking ANY questions - not even from the public at her numerous appearences next to John McCain, and certainly not from the press! Ask for an interview, and the argument given is that the press is being unfair to her, and so why should she do an interview? Another version of 'Sexist' - unfair to the woman candidate. They have sequestered her on the bus, and all she's been doing is repeating bits and pieces of the only speech she's given - one that was written by a Carl Rove protege. The republicans want to keep this about Sarah Palin - John McCain has faded into the background. No one knows her, and they are hoping to keep it that way until November 5.
