Reply #6: Too much of our discussion is simplistic

And that applies to a wide range of issues. The challenges that face us are complicated, both foreign and domestic. We keep seeking easy answers that can be quoted in a 15-second sound byte.

I think that is why I am SO frustrated with the MSM. Why is it that every time my husband turns on the Today Show, I'm hearing from John McCain or Newt Gingrich? Why aren't we hearing more from JK? I keep referring people to the speech JK gave the week after the Tucson shooting, where JK laid out just how large our nation's challenges are and how we need to get our act together as a nation and get going. NO ONE ever HEARD of that speech. And why don't we ask JK more often about international issues ... he's only chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee!! I mean, really. Why ask someone with experience and expertise when Newt Gingrich is available?
