Washington’s Brazen Hypocrisy

Banished Issues – 5 Things You Won’t Hear About at Tonight’s Debate
As far as tonight’s presidential debate is concerned, the proceedings are largely predictable, especially since the topic is exclusively foreign policy. In the first two debates, the candidates barely spoke about foreign policy – mindful, probably, that only about 4% of likely voters consider it an important topic.
