Please, Please, Don't Over Do It With The Patriotism!!

I decided to bring up the "issue" of patriotism. Oh yes, I said issue, because it seems the media makes a huge deal about a candidate when he/she does not wear a flag pin on their lapel. I swear to you I'm not even kidding. I was watching the presidential debate the other month on television, and noticed that the interviewers or people who ask questions or whatever you call them, decided to leave out important issues in society, like the Iraq war, the so called recession, and immigration. Perfect time to do it since the actual election is in November. It did not end their, no, that's actually where started it. It's not about race, or sex anymore, it's about who could get the most media attention. This might be speculation, but I'm guessing the reason is that the Super Delegates have already made their decision. Senator Obama brought a good point during the debate. He tried to make people aware of the growing problem that questions like these cause. He said that we need to focus on real issues in society, instead of petty concerns on why he doesn't were a piece of material on his coat. Is it because he's secretly a terrorist? He shows his patriotism by helping make America a better place. During the last election, candidate John Kerry tried winning over Republicans by going on stage and saluting the troops in Iraq. He immediately lost the candidacy after that.
