They are gonna have yet another presidential debate tonight. I'm not gonna bother to watch it. All they talk about is how bad the competition is. I've heard all I need to hear on that subject. Plus I don't believe most of the trash talk.
They never make campaign promises, you know glowing prophesies of the bright new future should they be elected. Not that I believe in campaign promises all that much, but at least they are an attempt to give the voters a reason to vote for them. Nowadays they don't seem to bother.
I want to hear what each candidate would do to create American jobs. And get the economy to grow at 3.5% per year rather than Obama's 0.7% last quarter. What taxes would they lower, and by how much? What burdensome Washington red tape would they slash? What projects (roadbuilding, canal building, NASA trips to Mars, high speed choo-choo trains, more drug treatment beds, etc) would they push?
How will they counter Putin's aggression in Ukraine? Economic aid to Ukraine? Stinger anti aircraft missiles? A USAF enforced no fly zone? US Army troops in divisional strength? Same question about Syria, what exactly would they do in Syria?
How green are they? Spend money on wind and solar green? Or lease federal land for fracking? Or lease Arctic National Wildlife Reservation (ANWR) to conventional oil drilling? The greenies used to complain about leasing in ANWR nightly, I haven't heard that lately. Me, I like gasoline and furnace oil for under $2 a gallon.
