It was a recipe for disaster and like all good recipes, it just took one thing to make it work. We lost 3000+ Americans in the World Trade Towers bombing, but we lost something else in the process. We rallied and covered our cars with American Flag magnetic stickers. Then we accepted the eight year reign of the most incompetent and unprincipled government in our history while we slid from somewhere good to skid row.
What worries me is that this election/campaign is proceeding as if it’s business as usual – election promises and silly accusations hurled back and forth. But it’s not business as usual. It’s a juncture where we either rise to our many challenges, or continue a slide that surpasses the fall of the Soviet Union. Maybe that’s what’s in the cards, but I sure hope not. Beside the fact that McCain is a Republican, beside the fact that he’s drunk the Bush/Cheney Koolade, beside the fact that he’s dumb as a post, he’s irresponsible. The only thing he has going for him is American Xenophobia, Rove’s dirty tricks machine, and the remnants of Cheney’s reign of sarcasm.
