What a miserable performance. They didn’t even MENTION illegal immigration,

which is having a devastating effect on wages down at the low end of the job

market, as documented in this UCLA study. Unless I missed it, I don’t

think anyone mentioned 9/11, either. It certainly wasn’t a prominent topic.

“Universal health care.” Uh-huh. The most left-wing U.S. administration in

living memory, securely in power for 8 years, with all the revenues of the

post-Cold War “peace dividend” and the internet boom to spend, couldn’t give

us universal health care. How are you going to do it, bucko?

“Internationalize Iraq.” Ah, yes, let those wonderfully capable and willing

French, Chinese, Pakistanis and Irish take over the task of hunting down

America’s enemies. We’ll be safe all right then! What a crock. Why on

earth would anyone vote for any of these creeps?
