What the 2008 Election CANNOT Be About

The Deacon was a fan of Mitt Romney in 1994 and 2002, but has not cared for Willard in a long while. Just listening to him suspend his campaign, the Deacon heard something that cast a shadow over his day. Suspending his campaign so that a national campaign could start early and defeat Hilary or Barak and prevent our country surrendering to terrorists, that was pathetic. The election of 2008 CANNOT be about terror! If we allow the campaigns and parties to take us down that road heading into November, we will never talk about the issues that really matter - health care, the economy, the environment, eduction, the things we deal with in our every day lives. Seriously, how often in your day does a terrorist threat occur? As often as someone you know becomes ill, a few houses in your town are foreclosed?

People, we cannot allow the election to be about terror. The point of terror is to disrupt the norm. Neglecting the issues that actually matter to us, we will be losing the war on terror by supposedly fighting it. We cannot follow the lead set by the Bush Administration and the Republican herd in Congress. Move on or fall behind - that needs to be the motto of the nation for 2008 - move on or fall behind.

Yes! It needs to be about the 47 million without health insurance, our hundreds of roads and bridges needing major repair, and our national debt. FOCUS! There are none so blind as those who will not see.
