CANDIDATES HAVE PROVEN THEY'VE CARED FOR NO ONE

Oddly enough, we don't hear much of what really affects Americans these days.

Bush says it's terrorism.

Both Obama and Clinton will tell you that it is the war in Iraq.

But put aside all those devisive issues, and what are the candidates--and the President--really saying about the local issues? Things which really impact the average American at home?

Nothing.

Nothing about the high cost of living. Nothing about the struggling families which are burdened by high medical costs, zero healthcare affordability, suppressed wages, and many of the other things which have hit so close to home.

On the national scale, these matters simply don't resonate with those corporate-bought candidates. They may say they care, but we all know that actions speak louder than words.

And these words are universally adamant with:

"What did you say? I wasn't paying attention."
