The message includes the classic triad of ’Core Issues’ (and the ‘facts’ to support them), indications on indended ’Solutions’ to the issues and ‘Sweeping Statements About the Rival Block’s Inability’ to do anything about these problems during their current four year mandate.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=observationstack.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9320788&amp;post=25&amp;subd=observationstack&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
