An Open Post To The Presidential (and VP) Candidates

To the Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates,

With a little over a month left until the November election, there are a few topics and issues that you have found "surprising" and that I find disturbing considering the job you are attempting to acquire. For future reference, let me point out a few points that those of us on "Main St." have not found surprising, but somehow you do:

1. Corporations left unwatched will consistently increase their profits while stepping all over the little guy
2. That poor guy that you claim won't want to pay for his state "sponsored" insurance because it will cost more than his employer's insurance NEVER HAD INSURANCE to begin with. He was never able to afford it.
   
3. Muslim states are really led by the head Imam, not the president. Talking to the president is like brokering a deal with Queen Elizabeth...
   
4. The world hates us. The days of "bring me some blue jeans from America" (in an eastern European voice) are over. We need a diplomat and a PR firm...
5. American kids are stupid. We are ranked like 20 out of 27 in education among industrial nations. We need to control the A.D.D. generation now before all is lost or you'll be reading about the decline of American society in a text message...
   

In addition, we would like to stop hearing the following on both sides:

1. Any Main St. Vs. Wall St. comparison
2. Any comments about either side not being patriotic
3. All guilt trips to vote for McCain because he was a POW and a war hero.
   
4. We get it! EVERYONE loves Israel. Move on...
5. The phrase "drill baby, drill."
   
6. The words "Maverick", "Surge", "Bail-out", and "'betcha"
7. The "lost babe in the woods" routine
8. Age comments - he's too old/young
9. Any animal references

Thank you.
The Voting Public
