Giuliani and Edwards fired by voters

Time for a rousing chorus of na na na na, hey hey, goodbye, for a couple of Presidential wanna-bes.
John Edwards finally realized no one knows or cares that he ran for Vice-President a few years ago...
"It's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path," Edwards said. "We do not know who will take the final steps to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. What we do know is that our Democratic party will make history."Just not with him. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani was busy getting schooled by McCain and Romney in Florida. America's Mayor won't be America's President...
The flesh and blood of Giuliani never seemed in sync with the mood of voters. He harped on Sept. 11and the fear of terrorism, even as polls showed that people were more concerned with the economy. He talked about victory in Iraq, even when the news from Baghdad moved off the front page.It helps to talk about the stuff people think about every day, like getting forcibly serviced by the oil industry in an impolite way at the gas pump, seeing the price of groceries going up in every aisle while every big employer in the country sends all the middle class jobs to industrial parks in Mexico or China.
Oh yeah, then there's the whole healthcare issue, as in where's the single payer system? We can't afford that? How about dumping the Department of Hopeless Security and making the Defense Department handle that whole protecting America thing? Isn't that their job anyway?
Fire DHS and fund a healthcare system with it. Hell, at least provide some kind of catastrophic coverage for people who wake up one morning with Mr. Cancer in their bodies.
Yeah, good luck getting Barack and Hillary to stop sniping at each other long enough to deal with that inconvenient truth.
