    How Americans Became Delirious And Made Politics All About Sex

    So sex is running an election in America? Better focus on the economic aspects. There is no best candidate anyway for now.

    Politicians have been too focused on sex for at least 50 years, and this "delirium" keeps Americans from voting for the best candidate.

    ive said that for a while now,its called wedge issues and they are used to distract the public from real issues.the three big issues should be economy,foreign policy growth,things like abortion gay marriage environment issues etc should be secondary issues focused on after the main issues are handles,and shouldnt be a deciding factor in an election unless they are needed as a tie breaker.

    I think moral standing is essential to having a successful economy, solid foreign policies & positive growth. If a given candidate is a pro-abortion homosexual who hates business, it's a guarantee I'll be voting for his counterpart.

    What if he was a pro-abortion homosexual who loves business? I would also like to know how morals = economy.

    Then you'd have a Tammy Bruce of sorts, which would be tempting, but not enough. I would need all three.

    Isn't it obvious?

    Moral: a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ethical <moral judgments>

    I would much rather the leaders of our economy have morals, than not, wouldn't you?

    If you don't think sex is everything, then you haven't had enough.

    Someone who thinks about sex in regards to everything has some serious issues.

    Birth Control: none of gov'ts business.
    Abortion: leave to the states.
    gay marriage: leave to the states.

    Fedgov: primary responsibilities are foreign policy and foreign trade, the military and the national economy.

    There are people calling for the banning of assault weapons who could not define an “assault weapon“ if their life depended on it. Yet the ignorant expect others to take them seriously.

    Better thread title:

    How The Media Became Delirious And Made Politics All About Sex

    We spent damn near three years reading about Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton, cigars and **** jobs.
