Current Presidential Debates are Really a Red Herring

[Don MacLeod]

The republican candidates are being trivialized and marginalized by external influences forcing the public to consider totally irrelevant issues. These debates are being orchestrated by the media and the democratic hardliners.  Why you ask, because the topics being debated are irrelevant to the president’s role in the big picture and are in fact the role of congress.  Issues such as abortion, social security, gay rights and on and on are really just smoke screens to take the voter’s attention away from the miserable economic and jobs picture that really should be the focus of this election campaign.

 

Let’s look at the individual is he/she: honest, a listener, decisive, of good character, with whom they associates, their religious beliefs, their relevant experience in government and business, their opinion of the greatness of the United States, their belief in the constitution, and finally, their conservatism as demonstrated in the individuals life-to-date actions and activities.

 

Our government is made up of three distinct branches: administrative, legislative and judicial; these braches’ roles are defined and assigned by the Constitution of the United States. The current administration has blurred or obliterated this fact.
