Why can't we stick to the real issues of policy differences on Iraq war, tax cuts for wealthy, healthcare, gas tax holiday. Democrats can't lose if we focus on that. Wasting time on people that introduce our opponents before a speach (and worse, implying through fance film cutting that those are McCain's beliefs) is a needless distration from the key issues that are WINNERS for us.

So what if Rev Wright is mentioned. Two wrongs don't make a right. My 8-year old daughter knows that. We are so far ahead on the core issues that we can afford to take the high road, embody Barack's message of a new way of bipatisanship, and ignore this garbage like Haglee and Parsley.

Don't complain about lapel flag-pin nonesense if you want to raise these righty-religious-nutjobs in campaign discourse.

Who cares what wacko preacher says. Not me! I wish we would stick to real issues. This is what Barack and McCain have pledged to do. Let's respect their wishes. If we focus on policy differences regarding Iraq, tax cuts for wealthy, healthcare for most all, gas holiday, etc, we can't lose in November. We'll be practicing new politics of solving what's important, not stupid issues. If you want to see the anti-Barack flag pin nonsense come up, then keep on implying that McCain thinks Islam should be destroyed. We can do better in how we campaign. 'Nuff said.
