The wrong message is getting out.

Children in this country die because their parents cannot afford health insurance and we are blogging about whether the candidate wears a flag pin or not.

Some of our smartest students cannot go to college because Republicans cut student aid and we are concerned about what the candidate's preacher said.

Our bravest and finest are being killed in Iraq and we are talking about what the candidate's spouse said.


Reagan, Bush One, and Bush Two have racked up 70 percent of the total national debt accumulated all the presidents and we discover the candidates tour bus has been named.

The Supreme Court is one vote away from overturning Roe V. Wade and we are shown what the candidates may look like after aging eight years in the White House.

Gasoline may reach $4.00 a gallon by this summer and it is revealed young voters cannot be counted on in the general election.

Ken Leach
Democratic Nominee
Texas 26th Congressional District

1. Plus, so many Democrats are afraid of change.
Go figure.

2. No kidding. That's what happens when the media is owned by
corporations with an agenda. That's why every DUer, when anything is written about the airwaves, internets, or the FCC should pay attention and take action should there be any to take.

How 'bout those military types who spout the Pentagon party line on the m$m while raking in the money? Yes, this picture is really warped.

3. The poor seem of no concern to the corporate run MSM
Obama is doing the right thing in constantly reminding people he will not be swayed away from the main issues of voters by distractions.

5. That's because the poor don't improve their 401k's
If caring about the poor made them wealthier they'd cover the poor more.

They're just pathetic

4. Flag pins, Obama's speech that included the word 'bitter', Clinton's choice of clothes, her laugh,
Obama doesn't wear a tie (just like the President of Iran doesn't) all the serious issues are forever covered by our media.

It's just pathetic -- Thank God for ABC (Asia-Pacific News). Asia-Pacific is what I watch when I want to find some real news.

7. I'm not from his area
I just got this in an email, and then found it on the website that I linked to. Thought it was very much worth sharing.
