Here's what I would love to see this political season. A discussion of the issues. A debate about the way government relates to the citizens it serves. Back and forth between the candidates about federal spending, how to deal with China, Russia, the Islamic world. What is the philosophy of government between the candidates? How do we sustain economic prosperity? From the candidates, sound bites and fluff, or bluster, or boilerplate; from columnists like this, gossip and salacious innuendo. I can't wait for the election to be over.
