No, not rulz.
John McCain promises four more years of all the same policies that have made Duhbya look so much like the boorish, disconnected, uncaring idiot that he obviously was as early as 2000.
- Iraq? Let's stay indefinitely.
- Iran and Syria? Nothing a few more invasions couldn't cure. Sunni, Shi'a - who cares? Wahhabi? Don't they serve that in Japanese restaurants?
- Health care? The "free" market, which has never provided before will magically provide during a McCain administration - if we just take care of the insurance companies.
- Environment? More toothless, voluntary, worthless industry proposals.
- Progressive taxation? Used to be for it just a little, but now signed up for the orthodox Bushist position that taxes are for Leona Helmsley's little people (us).
- Katrina? Tut tut, I'll come visit on the ground instead of flying over, but there's no actual money to help recovery.
- Deficits? All the fat cats still get their contractual stipends, but cut all the programs that actually help people in need.
First order, the only thing that matters in politics today is personality. McCain is a straight-shooter. Heh. Hillary is a power-besotted bitch, and Obama is a condescending elitist who can't even bowl a hundred. Oh, and he's not a loyal American.
These are the only "issues" that our thoroughly stupid (on average, only on average) press corps is capable of writing about. We pick our favorite wrestlers on their personalities, not to mention our favorite soap characters, our favorite NASCAR drivers, our favorite American idols.
Until we become less stupid, less easily led by the nose, we Americans will continue to choose thoughtless leaders whose promises, not just their hidden desires, run against our own interests and vision of America. Really, it's just pathetic.
Look in the mirror. Is it your fault?
