I am a firm believer that you shouldn't complain unless you have a solution. |

I agree, as an Independent, I'd love to hear some real ideas and solution rather than just telling
me what is being done wrong! For example, Obama says he will bring troops home, and what? When
will it happen? What will be the plan? What will happen in Iraq? And how will Clinton pay for her
health plan? The economy is already in a recession, so raise taxes? And um, who are the "Rich",
because I have news for them, people making under 150,000 a year(depending on where in the US they
live) are so not "RICH". |

I agree 100%. As a republican, I can say that we do a little of it to, but I think the Democrats are
the best at whining about how someone does something terribly, and not having any solutions to fix
the problem |

While that is true, like Cephus said, ALL people of political parties do that. I do say though that
people really do need to step up and voice their opinions about certain topics in a way that can
create some change instead of just voicing them in a manner that creates possibly violent dispute
and doesn't lead to any solution at all. |

I agree totally. |

That's true of *ALL* political parties. All any of them do is whine about the others, they don't
propose any real solutions to the actual problems because if they do that, they might actually have
to do something.
Can't have that, can we? |

There is too much complaining and no different solutions from ALL OF US, not just the Democrats |

The Democrats habe every reason to be complaining. The Republicans have screwed everything in this
country up. Gas prices, war, the economy.....they have done nothing positive for the people.
Democrats have to point all these huge mistakes out and let people know where this country has gone
wrong. They have plenty of solutions that make a lot more sense then having Gege Bush in office for
8 years. |

If the voting public would take the time to listen to the solution then there could be a serious
discussion on the issues in a campaign. Generally, the public gets their information in the 15
second sound bite from the political pundits. A political candidate running in a race of the
presidential magnitude will not "paint themselves into a corner" so that their rivals and the
opposing party can dissect the proposals without focusing on what their solutions would be. Also,
the pundits would take a "remark" out of context and amplify it to a storyline. This has happened
from all the pundits to all the candidates. Let me offer an example; I don't believe that the
rivalry between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton is ethnic or gender based, but the Tim Russert, Chris
Mathews and Joe Scarboro have presented their analysis from this viewpoint. Mathews' favorite
phrase is "I want to rip the scab off this issue". Chris should be cautious about opening a wound
that explodes into a "flow of blood" that can't be stopped. As with the ethnic demographics,
according to the last census, 13.3% of the population are African American, 13% are Hispanic
American and $.4% are Asian American. These are from the Current Population Survey and reported in
2002. The populations have increased from the 2000 census, but the Hispanic population and Asian
population have grown faster than the former. Therefore, if the breakdown as reported in the media
is that generally, the African American supports Sen. Obama, The Hispanic American and the Asian
American population support Sen. Clinton. Politics is a "payback" business. There will be "winners
and losers" assessment from all the rivals of both parties.
This is the "wound" that I speak of. |
