Are you getting tired of the hot button issues becoming the end all be all of the political world?

Can any one candidate fill all the required fields? We all know there is no one that can fill the void.

and the endless debates on things that must have some kind of middle ground.....Compromise, had it been used at the end of WWI maybe we wouldn't have had the WWII.....but that's in the realm of "What if...?" what are the hot button issues?


1. THE WAR

OK its divided into the "cut and runners" or the "stay the coursers" how about the "statehood for Iraqers" after all these years Puerto Rico still hasn't ponied up.....I'm a little tongue and cheek on this one but more or less I'm in the "if this was a war for oil hows it working out?" kind of guy and "put the terrorists head on a pike outside the city gates " guy as well, object lesson for the rest of them.......

2. GAY MARRIAGE

Its simple in my eyes, everyone has to get a marriage license and then the ceremony isn't always performed in a church....its buy justices of the peace or notaries, we all basically have to get a civil union and then a church wedding.....So.....Civil unions for all! and those who want to get married under the eyes of the lord can find a church that is accepting......see compromise all the round! and we don't have to mess with the constitution........

3, ABORTION

its not good, but sometimes necessary, but should be one of the last things considered. with NOW running around shouting as loud as they do about it being a right you would think they had abortion and brunch weekends...."have an abortion and get a free mimosa" but on the other extreme, blowing up or sniping at a clinic is a big no-no....don't do it.

Also allowing minors to get one without parental permission, big mistake. the roles of the parents are being minimized in this world, but that's for another blog.

4. HEALTH CARE/INSURANCE

Everyone has a right............look no one is going to die at the doorway of any respectable hospital....Yeah I know about that one in Cali......like I said respectable......two things that have driven the price of health care up...one, is the people who had full coverage in the past with their companies that they worked for was the overuse of the PRIVILEGE....after all it came with the job right? I knew people who had full coverage from their job for them and their families and they went every time someone had a sniffle or stubbed their toe, those visits cost money and the costs just escalated.......serious maladies only please.....

Two, and listen closely John Edwards, oh spokesman for the Masses, Litigation drove up the costs, Id rather see a truly inept doctor lose his license and or see some jail time then to pull a couple of million dollars from the insurance company just to give it to my layers and not have enough left to pay the hospital bill....and all the money in the world ain't gonna bring em back.


Somewhere in all these issues there is either a middle ground or a common sense solution that may require some sacrifice.....we cant always get what we want.....you cant have any give and take if no one gives.

Don't get me started on the "hotbuttons"! I just get hysterical. Maybe it's because I grew up under the creedo "Live free or die" but, personally, what people want to do with thier lives is really none of my business. Just so long as it does not have something to do with killing people on the street or the like.

How about the Iranian President this past week visiting the UN in New York? What do you have to say on that one?
