The Wallet - What most voters care about
Now I know we can't control what stupid story the media latches on to but most people are worried about their wallets and how full they are.

I am so sorry but this Vietnam shit isn't going to do anything for Kerry. Granted I think Bush is an AWOL dipshit but I think the fact that the stupid fuck started a war, is bankrupting our future and is standing by with his thumb up his ass while jobs are going over seas, healthcare costs are rising and record foreclosures are occurring is of greater importance.

A lot of people are so busy with eeking out a living that they aren't paying attention to the news about who did what in 1968...but they are concerned about the memo their company has just posted about how there will be a new health care meeting or the fact that Joe in the next cubicle got laid off yesterday.

SO...while I know I can't change things in the media I want to say that at the grassroots level the WALLET and the useless CURRENT WAR are the issues voters are worried about.

1. There you go.
That is what this election will eventually focus on. All this crap going on now is the sideshow. This administration does not want the American people to see what is going on under the tent. Their strategy is to distract the people and maybe no one will notice.

3. What hits home is what people feel first. If you can't pay bills and eat
you can't fight the fight because you can't afford to or have time.

4. People vote with their wallets.

I only hope & pray that enough angry, unemployed, uninsured people will make it to the polls in November to get rid of Boy George & his posse of freaks.
