People of the world, Americans, friends, neighbors, divided citizenry…we are but days away from the Democratic National Committee Convention in Denver, and the most important issue remains a centerpoint of disagreement between all of us.
- It is not the war in Iraq (Obama, Bush, McCain, Clinton, even the generals in the field all have basically the same plan and objectives now).
- It is not the threat of Al Queda and terrorist attack (despite a man having died last week in a Denver hotel room blocks away from the convention center due to having too much cyandide/WMD in his room).
- The most divisive issue is not abortion (despite Senator Obama’s uber-gaffe/lie about being pro-life while opposing the extension of human rights to babies born during improper abortions).
- No, the most divisive issue isn’t whether or not Senator Clinton should have her name read, or whether or not she STILL might have a chance at convincing DNC delegates and superdelegates that she is the more electable candidate in a general election.
- The issue is not whether or not Barack Obama looks like other people on dollar bills (nor is it whether or not he has his sights set on being the new face of the next quarter-sized dollar or a new $3 bill).
- The most divisive issue isn’t the psuedo-Soviet invasion Georgia (since President Bush, French, Germany, EU, UN, NATO, and even Sen Obama all followed Sen McCain’s position).
- The most divisive issue will not be the throngs of Republican protesters in Denver (but if you thought that…then you’re getting warmer).
- People might believe that the economy or exploding gasoline prices will be the most controversial issue at the DNC convention (since they’ve climbed more under Democratic rule of Congress than they did in 6 previous years of Bush…that probably won’t be the big focal point either).
- Will it be the record number of foreclosures (which are highest in the nation in Congressman/continual Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich’s district), but that seems unlikely-again, because President Bush has been a lame duck for 2yrs and it’s hard to blame others when the DNC has had the power/responsibility.
- Will it be immigration reform that (again) the Democrats’ Congress has failed to enact?
No, my fellow human beings….the most important issue for the DNC convention is a simple one, an obvious one, one that’s popped up and been eluded to throughout this piece. Regardless of political or even national orientation, there is but one issue that is the most important, the sweetest, and at the same time the saltiest:
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH POPCORN STOCKPILED?
