Why We Vote
The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters’ Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices. They’ll share them in this blog.

Pennsylvania Primary, Campaign generally

April 22nd, 2008 at 06:47pm Dyanna Chandler

I am very disillusioned with the campaign tactics of the two remaining Democratic candidates.  Why doesn’t anyone focus on the issues.  We have a crisis in the economy and the focus is on Jeremiah Wright, Mrs. McCain plagarising from the Food Network and Hillary’s embellishment of her trip to Bosnia.  Give me a break.  I want a candidate who can formulate a plan to combat the food prices, gasoline dependency, the environment, infrastructure, the billions being spent  in Iraq.

We need a man like Franklin Delano Roosevelt who could assess the situation, act accordingly and effectively.  We, the voting populace, are to blame.  We do not demand more effective leaders and accountability.

    I agree with you Dyanna. There are so many problems to be addressed and our candidates prefer to ignore them and attack each other. This is an indication of how shallow our politicians are. They play silly games with the electorate to make us believe they’re doing real work when they’re not working at all. We as voters have to wake up and tell them that enough is enough Do what you’re hired to do or we’ll find someone who will. We can’t keep rewarding this type of behavior by re-electing them every time their term is up. New faces, new ideas and a message that either they do what they’re supposed to to or we’ll hire someone else to take their places.
