Presidential Candidates

I have been listening to the debates by both Republican and Democrats and I have noticed one common theme: War. I believe, however, that they keep discussing the wrong war. They keep looking at the war overseas and talking about world peace and a bunch of things. For the candidates I have a few questions about certain wars that are being fought in America.
What about the war on:
Poverty
Illiteracy
Civil rights
Racism
Ignorance
Police brutality
Affordable Healthcare
Illegal immigration
White-collar crimes
Violence
A.I.D.S
Cancer
Affordable housing
Poor schooling
Bad teachers
HURRICANE KATRINA VICTIMS
...and the list goes on ?

What say you, Mr. Obama...do the people in Alabama feel that you feel their pain? What about you Mrs. Clinton? How do the people who used to live in what is now Clinton Hills feel about affordable housing? What about Rudy G? What do you say to rude behavior towards teachers in classrooms? John Edwards are we heading forward or falling backwards? Mitt Romney, What would Jesus Do? Better yet, what would he say to you? Would he even know your name?

What the candidates fail to realize is that we are educated voters who care about the things that matter. When will they answer questions about the wars that have been around for too long?
