If the issues are war (two wars, or one war with two or more fronts?), future wars, and debt--then maybe it's time to talk about solutions. And after that, then see what candidates are saying what.

As I asked the other day, maybe it's time to talk about economics instead of hinting at your views about capital gains taxes--since I believe the common threads linking all of the issues you mentioned are economics and energy.

The political debates and primaries are entertaining theater, but they hardly address anything that is serious--unless you can run an engine on a tankful of rhetoric.
